I've got nothing against the idea of a Richard Pryor biopic, but Eddie Murphy in the role seems like a trainwreck of a choice.

Finally saw "The Visitor". Good enough movie, but I freaking hated the ending. Perhaps it would have been a bit trite to have him marry the mom so she (and eventually Tariq?) could return, but after all that, you kinda want a semi-happy ending.

My issue with the movie is that I loved the relationship he developed with the two immigrants...

Ok now this is really pissing me off.

Twilight Incorporated you are a bunch of evil callous money grubbing nerff herders.

Headliner is excited beyond words that the DVD is coming out Friday. She's doing the whole midnight release party, come home and watch it with her ~~coven~~ friends thing. Which is great. But the grubby corporate pricks at Twilight, Inc. have decided to release the Blu-Ray version weeks after DVD. No doubt in an attempt to get fans to buy both versions. I see it as a callous attempt to prey on the emotions of my little girl for profit and I hope they burn in hell for it.

With that phrase, you damn most of the entertainment industry. Which is ok by me. Speaking of exploiting little girls, you did see this, right?

If Kevy had posted that sentence, there's not a chance in the universe I'd have clicked the link.

Yeah, I was expecting a different ending but I suppose it was prety real.

They had to make sure the blurays could stand up to squealing girls.

Damn! Ken Russell will be here in Orlando on Saturday night, at a screening of his Crimes of Passion. (The theme of this years Orlando Film Festival is "forbidden films") As of this moment, there is almost no way I will be able to attend, even if it hasn't sold out already. However, a friend of mine is going to be his driver and personal assistant for the weekend. Maybe, just maybe, I can arrange to meet him somehow. (I do love me some Ken Russell!)
