I'm disturbed by this. He's gonna mangle the accent.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

I thought you'd be more concerned with what horse they can cast as Secretariat.
Sort of like doing a biopic on Sophia Loren.
"Okay, we've got to find a woman as beautiful as Sophia Loren."
"....uh huh."
Then again, they cast Sherilyn Finn as Elizabeth Taylor and Jennifer Love Hewitt as Audrey Hepburn.

They almost always end up casting some inappropriate Quarter Horse in the lead. Not even worth bothering my brain over. They're easier to work with. 'Course, Big Red Redux had a large rear, so.
How tall is JohnMal?
Joan Allen would make a great Penny Tweedy.

Heh. They've already done the horse casting. Check out his 5x: [link]
His grandsire, Meadowlake, while unrelated, looked a lot like Secretariat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Some magazine at CVS today swore on the cover that Jennifer Aniston was really seeing Gerard Butler. Completely unrelatedly, he has another movie coming out. Hrmm.
Anyone know if Law Abiding Citizen has good buzz or not? Gamer didn't, but I guess I'm looking for a good reason to look at him for 90 minutes.

He reminds me entirely too much of Harry Connick Jr's awful Copycat character in the previews. And it's too soon after The Ugly Truth for me to risk being burned again.

You didn't go see that, did you? I didn't even remember the movie until you mentioned it. He's all Gamer to me now, even if it sucked. It's how I want to remember him, even in loss of glory.

I saw that cover; what's with feral Jennifer Aniston hiding in a car?

It had Eric Winter in a towel for one scene, and then the towel fell. My money was well-spent regardless of how awfully written the thing was.
