This reminds me of that scene in When Harry Met Sally where their two irritating friends (Bruno Kirby and Carrie Fisher), after taking simultaneous calls from the title characters after the pity fuck, turn to each other and say "I'm so glad I'm not out there."

Speaking of Bruno Kirby, one of my favorite movie lines, and bear in mind that I don't remember many, was in City Slickers, where Billy Crystal and Helen Slater say hello to each other at dinner one night, and Bruno gives Billy a what's- going-on look, and Billy says something like "we just said hello," and Bruno says, "Hello? That wasn't hello. That was 'I like your ass. Can I wear it as a hat?'"

Highbrow indeed.

This was the irony of Mel's Hamlet: he was born to play the part. Every movie he's ever made is really just Hamlet, when the basic plot points are boiled down. Yet it sucked.

Not all of it sucked. I liked his hair.

I would accuse you of breaking the board (since it's been, like, an hour now - much like I was accused a while ago) but I think we all know what happened now don't we?

Everyone is on Google, looking for pix of Mel's Hamlet hair?

C'mon back guys.



What was I thinking?

Things I learned from William Shakespeare's entry on IMDB:

1. An astonishing number of movies based on his plays fail to credit him at all, which seems kinda ballsy.
2. He is currently unrepresented, but someone is tracking his PR.
3. There was a Maori production of The Merchant of Venice, which must have been very confusing to the anti-semitism angle.
4. There is a Nina Hartley film called "A Midsummer Night's Cream." WS received a bona fide writing credit. Less will have to fill us in on whether there were any groaner puns on his name.

Good god. Apparently, there was even a 2003 remake of this film with Sydney Steele



"What Horny Fools These Mortals Be! You've never seen Shakespeare like this! In the wildest-ever adaptation of Wlliam Shakespeare's epic tale, a love charm turns an enchanted forest into a sensual fantasy you won't believe! From mistaken identities to mistaken mountings, it's all here! With elaborate costumes, exotic settings, amazing special effects, and scorching sex, this Shakespearean interpretation is destined to be a carnal classic!"

better line.......
Jack Palance's charecter tells Billy crystal's character" I shit biggar'n you" (or crap, can't remember).
Does this mean Jack has BMs that are bigger than billy's BMs, or does it mean that Jack's BMs are bigger than Billy's body(obvious puffery, but still a great insult).

A survey by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery says America needs more plastic surgery. In other evidence that the survey is total bullshit, it found that men were more likely than women to take suggestions about plastic surgery as an insult, and that women were more likely than men to take suggestions as gestures of love.

Maybe these survey respondents were disproportionately likely to need plastic surgery after beating the shit out of each other in fights worthy of a "Cops: Too Hot for TV" compilation.

here's my bitch. We, or really scientists, keep spending time on global warming or erectile dyfunction, when plastic surgery isn't near perfect.
The recovery time from any face work is a week or so. It needs to be much shorter, like hours.
i would like to be able to tell my wife, "you know with that dress, it would be nice if your earlobes were a little longer", and she could do it, and recuperate, and still not miss appetizers.
Or if I'm wearing a double breasted to am important meeting, maybe I would like my nose made wider, just for the day. Why isn't anyone on this?

What? You mean there's dialog in that movie? Hmm. (I was going to say story line, but that would have been pushing it.)
Suffice it to say, I'm sure there's not a lot of research that takes place before someone comes up with a title. There's no table discussion of "I wonder if anyone has used Forrest Hump, or Bitches of Eastwick, Blair Bitch Project already?"

A quick online search indicates the answers are, as you might expect, Yes, Yes and Yes...

Matt Drudge has leaked word about one of the juicier tidbits found in Joe Esterhazs' new book.

http://www.drudgereport.com/mattha.htm

Paramount Pictures Chairman Sherry Lansing's husband, Billy Friedkin, is a "director." To get her husband the directing job on repulsive-piece-of-dog-crap "Jade," and to minimize the appearance of nepotism, she asked Esterhazs to insist on Friedkin, which he agreed to do as a favor. When Esterhazs saw the finished product, he went nuts and demanded his name be taken off the picture. To play ball, Sherry Lansing gave Esterhazs what amounted to $4 million in hush money.

The guy who wrote "Showgirls" was embarassed by "Jade"? What's next, Woody being embarassed that he's dating his cousin?

If you like Mel playing a great guy, best to stock up on his dvds, because that Anti-Semitic Jesus Freak epic of his is probably going to burn his career to the ground.

I'm curious to see this. If he really followed the Bible, it wouldn't be anti-Semitic. But then again I don't think of Mel as one of the great theologians of our times.

As for the GGs:

Jennifer Garner has a small (for Hollywood) busom and her stylists don't seem to grasp that in choosing dresses. And the ruffledy fufu look doesn't suit her well either.

Renee Z looks good with some meat on her bones but that dress was for the lollipop Renee. Not good. She should have worn a dress that was made for curves.

I liked Brittany Murphy's dress but think it needed someone with a little more innate elegance to pull it off.

Why was Fergie a presenter? That made no sense to me. And she looked haggard.

Uma looked great. Loved the dress but wish she'd gone with a more elegant 'do.

Mary Louise Parker showed what kind of boobs a woman needs to wear a deep decolletage. Most (nonimplanted) actresses end up looking like they have boy chests -- she hit a grand slam in hers.

Peter Jackson needs a haircut and new glasses.

Al Pacino needs a haircut and a new attitude.

Nicole Kidman: a rare fashion flop. Hated hated hated the dress. Mystified by the hair and head band.

Sofia Coppola either needs a haircut or needed a blow out. Too straggledy. And, as mentioned, the shoes were all wrong.

Cate Blanchett was the best looking pregnant woman in many awards shows. I love that she didn't do the black dress thing.

Michael Douglas and CZ-J are pod people.
