Her brother comes across as a 3 dollar bill.
Maggie was hot in "Secretary." A damn shame she didn't get cast as Tony Stark's secretary instead of that bird-like skank Gweyneth Paltrow.

Re:
Maggie Gyllenhaal not sexy?! LOL, turn in your Man Card, buddy. :) You can have her, NFP! I don't need a man card to know what is sexy and what is not.

Grabbed this a while back... Seems to fit well here.

Here in my small Texas town, it cost me $2.25 to see
The Dark Knight before 6PM. No way will I pay $8 to $10 bucks to see a film nor drive 120 plus miles round trip to and from Dallas to see one.
And no one is going to convince me Maggie Gyllenhaal is sexy. I've spent 60 years knowing sexy when I see it, and Maggie ain't by a long shot!
Now, Katie Holmes is sexy, but after she went the Tom Cruise route, I'd have to be very drunk to take her home for fun and games.
All in all, I'd rather have Alisyn Camerota over Maggie, Katie or most Hollywood babes.
I bet she's old enough... to know better--
But still young enough... to still have a yen!

“What does that mean?”
Writers could not make stories about paranoia of communism.
But they could make stories about aliens and make the same point.
Example.......

I think that Nolan and his writers are doing the same thing with the war on terror with Batman.
To: Names Ash Housewares
Writers could not make stories about paranoia of communism.The only problem is, it wasn't paranoia. There WERE Communists collaborating with the Soviet Union in the State Department, in the Defense Department, in the highest levels of the Truman and Eisenhower administrations, and in Hollywood.
Cold War era documents have proven beyond any doubt that McCarthy was right.
Conservatives should never go along with the lie that concerns about communism were paranoia.

Cool your jets.
You’ll find no friend of commie preverts here. ;)
Just pointing out how political climate can influence writers then and now.
To: Bender2
Movies cost $5.50 (geezer discount) here in a theatre seating multiplex.
I agree with your assessment of Alisyn Camerota, she ain’t to shabby. She looked great this morning doing her Fox and Friends weekend anchor job.

Now, in 2008, Maggie Gyllenhaal plays Rachel Dawes and she has the sex appeal of a well used burlap sackI agree. While she's not bad looking, she's just plain.....I do not see why she was cast in that role.

For anyone that didn't catch the "pencil trick", it's below.
Warning: not for the squemish.
