Random Thoughts
- To simplify all the film news out there I'd like to say: Please stop reporting every time some actor/actress says they want to be in a movie. Or a director says they want to direct something. It's just a publicity stunt to get the attention of the people involved. Notice how most of the time it's a flailing TV star or director whose fallen out with the public? I want to star in Batman 3, where's my article on the cover of E!?

I really really hate how news sites turn an off the cuff "sure, it would be fun to direct/act in that movie" into "so and so is in talks to direct/act in new movie." So very annoying.
I'm guessing you have found a job? :))
When it comes to your random thought: didn't you say that you support dreamers and people who believe in their dreams??? I actually love when directors and actors reveal their dreams of possible projects and give me something to write about ;)
@Rick I concur
@Dezmond No job yet, something more LiE related.
I support people who believe in their dreams. I don't support people grasping at opportunities for headlines, fame, and self-gratification. Even if those are their dreams. And often I find these sort of headlines are geared far more towards that venue.
CRAP. Forgot to vote, I'd be the one (literally( voting for dialogue.
Shame Cruise wasn't available for comment!
We really ought to compile a list on films we agree on, that would be an interesting read.
Completely agree with you about the rumors somehow turning into something "official". I pay special attention to state whether it's a rumor when addressing these casting news.
Thanks for the link!
I read Common Sense Reviews Wedding Crashers review and it was spot on. The movies had a lot of affection over the years, and I've always found it so-so.
AM's posts are always fantastic. I know, I avidly stalk them.
I completely missed Hatters post on this somehow so thanks for the link.
And of course, thanks for mentioning the Mob's Alien ten. And I belly laughed at your TomCruise comment for the record. :)
@Andrew Good, stand up for what you believe in... after it matters! :P
@Alex I concur. Some people just can't be bothered.
@MVP We could right a book. Title it: 1001, well maybe 50, nah more like about 15 movies we agree might be worth checking out. Too long?
@Castor I believe by now every person in Hollywood has been "rumored" to be the villain in the upcoming Batman 3 movie. Quite an accomplishment I must say.
@Heather Glad to make someone laugh :)
@Univarn - I was figuring including films we both don't care for much either. Basically anything we agree on. That might move it up to 25 ;)
Thanks for the link!
P.S. My expectations for "Inception" are through the roof. I'm counting down the minutes until the midnight IMAX showing I will be attending.
