OK, that's the killer app that will finally move me to Blu-Ray.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
If you're in the L.A. area and thinking of seeing I Love You Man, watching it at The Grove will result in a fun little bit of synchronicity.
And maybe I walked in at the wrong moment but Knowing seems scary as hell. I was doing my closing walk through and we're screening three movies at the moment. After I walked through the one screening Knowing I had to go back to I Love You Man for a few minutes before I felt brave enough to walk through an empty auditorium by myself. (Empty auditoriums are very spooky.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Huh. It was apparently shot in Melbourne.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs trailer. It's *very* different from the book, but looks like a lot of fun.

Heh. The reviewer on the radio (Willy Waffle) this morning gave Knowing zero waffles. I'm a bit burned out on Nick Cage, there hasn't been much since National Treasure that I've had any desire to see. And even that was just a bright spot in an otherwise dreary and non-descript spell of his movies.

This is true.

I can't remember the last time I had any interest at all in anything Nic Cage was is. Putting him in it makes me not want to see it.
This happens with lots of actors, but in particular, everything Cage does these days plays (to me) like Nic Cage Pretends to be a Hit Man (Bangkok Dangerous), or Nic Cage Pretends He Can See the Future (Next), or Nic Cage Pretends to be a Comic Book Character (Ghost Rider), or Nic Cage Pretends to Save the World From Armaggedon (Knowing).
Which all just sounds like Nic Cage Wanks Onscreen for Two Hours.

Always Anti-fascist!
yeah...sometimes you can become so famous that all we see is that.

I don't think it's solely due to fame. Russell Crowe is at least as famous for example, yet I generally perceive him as whatever character he's playing within the film.

Yeah. It's not all just fame, as Matt says. Most of the time with Russell Crowe, I feel like I'm watching the character, not Crowe. Even Leonardo DiCaprio can occasionally make me feel like I'm watching the character.
And it's not even necessarily about ability to act. Gene Hackman never played anything but Gene Hackman, but I still usually felt like I was watching Gene Hackman the Character, not Gene Hackman Playing Make-Believe.
Nic Cage of late makes me feel like I'm watching Nic Cage Plays Make-Believe.
