[Lil'freeper]

Hobbits! I saw hobbits!

Fran's hair has looked better...

Is PJ wearing shoes???

[Dr.Deth]

Sofia has absolutely no screen presence at all, how her daddy could cast her in that Godfather film

Because she's HOT!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

They aren't the books, but movies can't be books...everyone would be bored to tears.

They deserve the 11, heck they deserved them the last two years as well.

[lavrenti]

Used to go into the political science section and hunker down during my lunch. Also two of my anthologies were there.

I used many receipts as bookmarks. I have set aside all the ones purchased at that store for my daughter.

BTW, we went to the NY Museum in Albany yesterday and saw the 9|11 exhibit. My daughter (who is 8) stared at one of the lampost bases and comment, "Funny, what you remember." She got old that day, my little girl.

[HairOfTheDog]

Don't weep!

SHIMMY!

[gcruse]

(I will seek out that "Triplets of Belleville" though - looks pretty cool).

Me, too.  I've added it to my Netflix queue, but the DVD release date is not yet known.

[Dr.Deth]

Is that Marilyn Manson?

[Clemenza]

She has that classic Mediterrenean beauty that most Italian girls lose by the second generation in this country.

[eddie willers]

1) Cleaned up, and not deliberately trying to look ugly

2) Not spouting Leftist political nonsense

I've always thought Janine Garafolo was really cute.

LOL....that's how I feel about Julia Louis Dreyfus

[Lil'freeper]

You need a (((((((((((HUG)))))))))))))!!!

'cuz it's gonna get director and best picture too. :P

[mass55th]

"The dress......the dress.....the dress."

Skin tone...skin tone...skin tone...and the hair is ugly too.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Man, this LTR sweep is overkill. The Oscar equivalent of an obvious makeup call.

[Alkhin]

WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!

A star shines on their meeting tonight!

[Phisher]

The twins!

[Kieri]

Caught your tagline. Farscape returning? When? Where? On Sci-Fi? I know a feature film is in the works but is the series coming back?

Farscape returning? - YES!

When? - I don't know yet!

Where? On Sci-Fi? - Gosh, I hope not! Henson is MAD at Skiffy for screwing them out of the last season and is shopping it around.

Other networks, including Showtime, HBO, WB, etc., are being checked-out to see if they'd like to carry the show. I don't know its status in syndication, but hopefully we'll be hearing about the miniseries soon.

[Lil'freeper]

Ew. Sarandon's dress looks like something out of Beetlejuice.

[Rummyfan]

Oh c'mon, after an exhaustive search it simply turned out that Sofia was the best for the part.

Just like Barbra Streisand's son in THE PRINCE OF TIDES!

[Petronski]

FREE TIBET!

[weegee]

Francis Ford and Sophia Coppola- how much did daddy set this all up?

I was talking with June Wilkinson last year. She acted in a skin film for Francis Ford Coppola (even before he worked with Roger Corman). She didn't think he was a good director at the time. She told me that she went to the Playboy mansion and saw Lost in Translation, by his daughter, and really enjoyed it.

She said that the other Playboy women didn't have the attention span to watch this movie and walked out after around 25 minutes.

I still haven't seen it although I did see her earlier one.

[Dan from Michigan]

This whole thread is about celebrating a degeneracy that threatens the survival of our nation

Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we watch degenerate TV or not -- we did. But you can't hold a whole website for the actions of a few sick, perverted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole FR system? And if the whole FR system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of conservatism in general? I put it to you ... isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do what you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America! :)
