Bowling for dolla dolla billz


I really hope this guy is successful in suing Michael Moore for all that he's got. But then again, it's Michael Moore, so that's like what, $100,000, and his handbook, appropriately titled: "How to over exaggerate situations, completely skew the truth, profit from other people's misfortunes, and make bad movies".

It's a pretty rare book.

Good for nothings...



I'm pretty disappointed in this year's batch of award nominations and their complete ignorance to Michael Sheen's laudable performance as David Frost in Frost/Nixon. Especially since all of the praise is being given to Frank Langella's over-dramatized portrayal of Richard Nixon. This is especially unfortunate as this is the second time one of Sheen's better performances, the other being a convincing Tony Blair in The Queen, has been almost completely ignored.

Long story short: I was pleased to see that he has been nominated for best actor at this years British Movie Awards.

...whatever those are.

Why do stupid people say stupid things?


So apparently director extraordinaire Michael Bay put up a fuss about director actually extraordinaire McG (hey, he produces Supernatural, I'm in the man's debt) for using robots, big robots, in his new film Terminator: Salvation.

I'm completely on Michael Bay's side here. I mean, before Transformers came out, there had never been big robots on screen before. Somebody once tried to tell me that there was a whole tv series about transforming robots, and that it was even called Transformers, but I slapped him in the face and told him to never question Michael Bay's creative abilities.

If I were Michael Bay, I'd go right for the next obvious target: Brad Bird's The Iron Giant. That film was a complete rip off of Pearl Harbor.

"Oh no, wait, you mean that was the guy who made Swept Away? I guess he might have had this coming ."


I couldn't really understand what Sacha Baron Cohen was saying half the time, so this joke went completely over my head. How dare a comedian make jokes about an acclaimed director like Guy Ritchie. Is acclaimed the right word?
