Its the only film in which Cruz is vaguely acting. It was a decent flick. But please, don't compare the hawtness that is Salma Hayek with the upper class giggly schoolgirl bint that is Cruz

I didn't do shit. He was directing a Billy the Kid play, and during the intermission, I was just wanted to say Hi. I wasn't gushing or anything... I mean, I think the only thing the guy did at that point was "The Park was Mine" (kind of a First Blood knockoff).

Saw Forgetting Sarah (not Paula!) Marshall on Friday. I enjoyed it, However, it was not as drop dead funny as I was led to believe, and it needed lots more nudity from the female leads, kthx.

 I would rank the recent Apatow films thusly (in terms of overall comedic appeal)- 40YOV, Superbad (I haven't seen this since the theatre and don't know how it holds up to repeated viewings, so this ranking may change), FSM, and KU. I think that all of them are better than 99% of the utter shit that comes out of Hollywood these days.

I like Superbad, but I don't think he had much to do with it, other than producing. Hence, why I've mainly talked about 40YOV and Knocked Up. He's written some more, but I think those are the ones he's directed and wrote.

The park is mine is a pretty well done cover of the book (with the same name).  The book has a few points in it that are unnecessary and develops the main character a bit better, all in all definitely worth the read if you can find it at your used book store.

I don't mean to knock it or anything... It's just that that's all I knew from him back then. I like those "war veteran flips out" stories though.

The Billy the Kid play was interesting. That should have been a movie. Took place years after his supposed death, just a night before Pat Garrett was ambushed. One set, with Billy and Pat conversing in front of a fireplace. The guy who played Billy was that dude with the two brothers named "Daryl" in the Bob Newhart show (also, he played in Deadwood). He was a helluva lot cooler than Tommy.

He plays polo at the polo club in the town I grew up in.  Several people I actually know have tried to talk to him and maybe once he was actually polite.  The rest he was very much "go away not interested right now thx."  I assume most celebrities are like that, not interested in you if the cameras aren't on to the point of being considered rude in some lights.  Grumpy bastard sums it up quite well.

I could understand being that way to adults, but not to kids (unless it's like that fat kid from the man show or something). I wouldn't be that way at least. What's funny is that I met Mickey Rourke around the same age. Now there's a cool ass dude. And he gets a lot of bad press for being a moody fuck, to the point of punching people out and shit.

And oddly enough, Sherman Helmsley is not a dick.

Has anyone told Tom Cruise? I don't think Tommy Lee is a Scientologist, and if so, he's not qualified to help people out by the road!

The only cool celebrity I've met was Bruce Campbell. He was so cool it actually shocked me. But that was because every other actor I'd met, big or small, was an asshole.

I think that all of them are better than 99% of the utter shit that comes out of Hollywood these days.

I would put FSM at the top of that list.  His others have been sort of overhyped and full of dull spots IMO, with very little funny that you didn't already see in the trailer.  FSM had me cracking up pretty consistently.

I also liked that most of the characters were there solely to be funny, sort of wandered in and out of the movie as it was convenient and/or funny to do so, and didn't experience any sort of personal growth or tie up neatly with the rest of the plot.  Fuckin' A.

The Snake Eyes suit is awesome, provided you never see anything lower then the waist in any shot.  Sorry, the pants just ruin the whole effect.

Shelly Duvall was nice.  I think.  My family had dinner with her because my mom was friends with the guy she was dating, but I was probably around 4 years old at the time.  I have very, very vague memories of the event.

Still, I say that puts me at 2 degrees of separation from Nicholson himself.

I like Dennis Quad as Hawk if for no other reason than he's not a General at 21 years old or something stupid like that.

So far they're actually doing a good job. Hot Baroness and Hot Scarlet = win in my book.

QFT X 2. Holy shit, that's a quorom of teh hawt.

Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and the hot chicks look awesome. Baroness needs some librarian specs. Also, Quaid as Gen. Hawk looks constipated, not tough. The Wayans Bro. actually has a good mean expression on, so maybe he won't fuck it up too bad. He CAN act when he chooses.

The Crysis suits on everybody is not so hot. There really does need to be some 4-color costumery on some of these characters.

Yea, looking at the pics I went, "Who's the chick with Stormshadow?" The Baroness needs librarian glasses.

Oh, and Hawk was basically interchangeable with Duke. Same character, same function, one was older and higher ranked.

Maybe the special suits are what deflect away every shot Cobra ever takes at any of them?

I'm not, but it's a live action movie based on an 80s cartoon.  They have to see it so they can either nerd out of it's good or talk about corporate America raping their childhoods if it's bad.  Such is the way of things.
