Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.
Last night, watching the Tonys, I was surprised at how short Dan Rad was when he presented next to Katie Holmes. Did not fit my mental picture of him.
I saw a picture of that. I didn't think she was THAT tall either, and I totally did not think of DR as short. Very weird.
Katie Holmes is pretty tall, isn't she?
For whatever imdb is worth, Katie is listed at 5'9" and Dan at 5'8". I guess if you put heels on her, she would tower over him. And Dan is still taller than Tom Cruise (5'7").
I think IMDB's fudging things -- it's possible he's had a huge growth spurt since then, but just last year he was claiming himself in interviews to be no more than 5'5 1/2".
Did anyone here see Karate Kid this weekend? Looks like it did twice the box office of The A Team at 1/3 the budget. I totally wasn't expecting that.

It seems sometimes like they downplay women's heights, too, if they're really tall.
By they, you understand it is us, right? If you want to get truly obsessive about it, check celebheights.com. That site gives me a headache, people are so crazy. They have Radcliffe at 5'5.
CJ loved Karate Kid - he went with a bunch of buddies from the dojo. I haven't seen it yet, but he knows my absolute love of the original and he said I need to see it.
