They need a segment every week where Punk overcelebrates due to the simplest things

Get that shit out of here

The thing is, the script given to him was horrible, and felt more like another comic book movie instead of an adaptation of one of the greatest graphic novel's of all time (if you think the current squid free ending is bad, Hamm's script has Manhatten sacrificing himself-you can read all about the rejected script here.) He pretty much concluded that there was no way in hell he could do the movie. It's been in development hell forever, and it wasn't until 2005 or 2006 that any real progress was made.

Greengrass was one of the names originally attached as a director. Fun fact: When they were going with casting the movie in the 90's, the studio was dead set on Arnold Schwarzenegger as Manhatten. There's a nice article about the history of the whole thing here, though it leaves out the horrible Sam Hamm script, that Jude Law was also originally going to be Manhatten, and that Terry Gilliam was the first director attached to the whole thing.

Best of the clips so far. I'm not having the highest expectations at the moment, but hey. Interestingly, the review posted is one of two negative reviews I've seen. Every other early review has been better (saying it's as faithful an adaptation as it could have been, no squid aside) so I'm not totally giving my hopes up. Granted, all the reviews (including the two negative ones) are all fan reviews... And even if it's disappointing, It could have been worse.

For the most part, this entire show has sucked. This just takes the cake.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Nevermind

To those unhappy about "Slumdog" winning so much: at least it's not "The Reader."

I've never found Maher funny. Like at all. The whole way he delivers his "jokes" and then his smarmy look after waiting for people to laugh just irks the hell out of me. His studio audience is unbearable. I'd most likely enjoy his show more if he had an audience that wasn't made up of howler monkeys.

Everytime I see Jerry Lewis, I either think of "The King of Comedy" or Chris Rock's bit about him.

I did a GIS, and nope, guess I was wrong, that wasn't a Scientology cross/symbol. He's a defender though. I did love the "Boom goes the dynamite!" reference.

His love of Ron Paul last year was the last straw for me. Hm, I guess Will Smith doesn't want to pretend he's not a scientologist anymore.

Not a Talking Heads fan, I see. This ain't no foolin' around.

Good to see "Taken" and "Coraline" still doing good.

Didn't Phil Anselmo have something to do with Soilent Green's Sewn Mouth Secrets and Eyehategod's Dopesick? I know the whole New Orleans scene is incestuous, so just a question.

Nice.

Seriously, how could anybody hate "Bowfinger?" That movies awesome.

Clip from the jail break scene. Not winning me over, to be honest.

***** Brody, not all is forgiven, but that was incredible
