Considering that Ed Helms has never shown a lick of acting ability on The Daily Show or The Office I was most surprised by him.

Galifianakis!

Aww. I love Ed Helms. And now I finally committed his name to memory and I don't have to yell "that guy from the Office!" anymore. He doesn't look like an Ed Helms to me.

Yeah, I do think the rest of the cast was great. Didn't hurt that the 3rd lead was hotness. (Haven't worked on his name at all.)

Ed Helms funfact of the day (doubtless Alex has already learned this, from the same source I did). No makeup or special effects needed for the missing tooth. Ed Helms is actually missing that tooth, it never grew in, he's had an implant since he was 20.

Now you know!

I just watched the Grey Gardens doc again last night. I take it back, I agree with you. Lange and Barrymore did such a good job.
:)

If anyone here hasn't seen it, check it out. It's great.

I just watched "The Corndog Man" on Netflix streaming.

It's not an easy film to watch- it's a very dark comedy, but it's got an excellent blues soundtrack, including Otis Rush's version of Willie Dixon's "Violent Love" (many of you know the Oingo Boingo cover), and an excellent performance by Noble Willingham.

Saw Night at the Museum 2 - It was funny and had an Amy Adams fix. Had some good moments but I felt it was nothing more than a popcorn film. Not totally brainless but an enjoyable ride.

I watched half of Hellboy the other night before falling asleep. I found it implausible.

Sean Penn is reported out for the role of Larry in the Fareley brothers' 3 Stooges film. Names being bandied about as an alternative are Paul Giamatti, Adrien Brody , Simon Pegg and even Zach Galifianakis. I suggest Pegg, simply because it would be easiest to alter any existing advertising images by replacing the n's with g's.

Totally unrelated to the interest in the Iranian election and the major stuff going on over there, a spin over to HBO brought me to The Queen and I. A fascinating film and quite moving and touching.
