Got conned into seeing that piece of trash also, weird movie, just plain weird. No wonder Cruise is into scientology.
Also got mad at wife for not telling me that hanoi jane was in the last chick flick she took me to see.

Worse than that, MY wife talked me into going to see that garbage with a guy (her sis's husband). We get along great and wanted to go somewhere, anywhere, so we went to the Universal Studios theater.
About a third of the way through, I turned to the Bro In Law and said, "Dude! We're at a chick flick!" After that I just started making fun of it.
The wild stochastic variable
Is loose, and vague, and quite unstable
He's so imperfectly located
It's quite a job to get him mated.
(no offense intended, but I couldn't resist.)
Garner and Rowlands didn't just steal a scene, they stole the whole movie. Quite a feat considering they were up against youth and beauty. And all they had was about a hundred years of show biz experience between them...
Dean, in my opinion, was just an idiot. Not a great actor and probably would have gone into obscurity if it wasn't for a guy named Turnipseed (how's that for hollywood trivia?).
If you want to see some great attempts at scene stealing, check out Magnificent Seven.
You know that that story was written about Al and Tipper Gore... right?
;-)
That's what I heard awhile back.
Debra Messing is hot...she wouldn't have to hire ME for a date...although we'd want to keep politics out of the conversation, I'm sure...
What Women Want. Some call it a chick flick, it's borderline, but I thought it was pertty damn funny.
It wasn't bad. It had a male lead that men like. There's really only two options to make a chick flick that men tolerate --
A)A strong male lead who adds comic relief or blows something up.
B)A woman in the movie who takes her shirt off...
Mel Gibson is a versatile actor in that men and women both like him. We men like him because he's funny, tough, a versatile actor. Women like him because...well we all know why women like him.
He needs a strong female lead. In What Womem Want, he over-powered the female lead (can't remember her name).
Helen Hunt.
He didn't have one in the Lethal Weapon films and did OK in those.
Right. But I don't see him working too much any time soon. He insulted the most powerful group in the movie business -- theater owners. Basically gave a speech at their annual meeting where he said "f-you" to all of them.
Didn't hear about that one.
I heard it from a reliable source in the movie business.
...but, of course, reliable sources can be wrong.
