Next time one of them comes up, if you remember, could you mention it? I'm possessed of such a seething dislike of the guy I don't get how anyone could forget him. He just dumbs up the room to me--he seems to be labouring at a pace half as fast as everyone else on camera, and he's not goodlooking either, and is radiating negative charisma. Most of the proto-stars I can think of (Liam Hemsworth comes to mind, for someone who's not much of anything, but he's much less famous than Channing), are at least neutral to me. Channing...ugh...so negative.
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I kind of like Channing; he seems like a nice if somewhat dim guy in interviews and commentary tracks; he has zero shyness about taking his clothes off in movies, which I appreciate in men who are my physical type; he does good dance and passable fight scenes; and in getting his life story filmed—my mind reels at the thought of how many blowjobs it must have taken to get that greenlighted by a studio executive—he will provide me with Joe Manganiello doing a striptease in a fireman costume and going full (prosthetic) monty.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
My first Channing movie was Step Up, and he's well enough suited for that role. So I have a bit of fondness for him, but a rather small bit.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
if you must see a Uwe Boll movie, make it In the Name of the King: a Dungeon Siege Tale. It's worth it just for Ron Perlman chewing the scenery and you get bonus Jason Statham.

My vote for must-see Uwe Boll movie is House of the Dead. It has a zombie rave, cuts to clips from the video game it's based on during action scenes, and stars Clint Howard, Tyron Leitso as a gun-toting underwear model who speaks with a fake British accent, and Jürgen Prochnow as a smuggler called—I shit you not—Captain Kirk.
Oh, I played hooky on a long lunch break today and went to see Chronicle. I enjoyed it immensely (thanks for the recommendation, ita!) and am hoping it's successful enough that they make a sequel.

Wasn't The Apple Uwe Boll? Cause for sheer uninterrupted camp...

BITE YOUR TONGUE. I will not have such blasphemous lies spoken about the world's greatest disco Nazi movie musical.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
How have I never heard of this film? It sounds like Springtime for Hitler, only real.

I would point you to an article about the film, but really, The Apple is best viewed unspoilt.
