    Campaign 2008

    As far the the chair and gas chamber are concerned, in America at least, I think the prisoner gets a choice between that or lethal injection now. And I have to assume most of them go for the lethal injection. In this case, the man was facing lethal injection.

    The Dark Knight

    Elle McPherson was one the worst parts of Batman and Robin, atrocious acting on her part and their relationship wasn't even resolved by the end or anything. Of course the whole film was awful, but she didn't help. I liked Nicole Kidman in Batman forever, though. She had enough star power to make the token girl character interesting. Katie Holmes was just horribly miscast in batman begins, and the best thing they did was dropping her from the sequel.

    Why? What is the benefit of letting someone like that live? I believe that if someone allows themselves to devolve to the level of an animal, they should very well be euthanized like a dangerous animal would be. Personally, I think life in jail without possiblity of parole is a lot more of a punishment than a quick, painless death. To me, the arguement isn't whether or not child rapists deserve to die- they do- but whether or not its more of a punishment. Why should they get the easy way out? Life in jail for a child molestor is notoriously awful ( and it wouldn't shock me if this Patrick Kennedy has already had a taste of his own medicine). I'm willing to bet he would probably welcome death at this point. Ian Huntely is actually a good example of this. The guy knows he's going to be in jail forever, and he's tried unsuccessfully to kill himself several times. But there's this feeling of satisfaction and national justice that the guy is rotting in a jail cell when all he wants to do is die.

    The Happening

    http://uk.rottentomatoes.com/m/10007985-happening/ Currently at 21%. The trailer looks decent, but from what I've heard of the plot the film is even dumber than Lady in the water.

    WWE Draft 2008

    I was a little shocked when I read that. That's just bascially asking to get fired.

    Box Office Report...

    I walked out of Domino. I almost walked out of Rat Race. Both were just totally awful, and not even in a so-bad-its-good way.

    He's one of the better singer turned actors but 5 major flops out of 6 acting roles is quite bad.

    Joss Whedon's Dollhouse

    Alexis Denisof has had like 3 appearances on how I met your mother. ..and that's all he's done for the past four years! Its incredible. I have to think maybe he's been on a sabbatical because there's no way he couldn't have gotten any work. I think if Fillion was going to be a huge star, it would have happened with Serenity. As it is, when it flopped he had to go back to tv. Which is a shame because unlike Sarah Michelle Gellar, who is better suited to television, he's seems more of a natural movie actor.

    I just realised Justin Timberlake actually has an astonishingly bad box office record for someone who's only been acting for a couple of years... The love guru southland tales black snake moan Alpha dog edison

    Box Office Report...

    She makes bad movie choices in general, too. I don't know how anyone could look at premise of Awake and think that movie is going to be a huge hit. If she was in more movies that didn't look like they should be going straight to dvd, people would probably go see them, even if they know she's not getting naked.

    The Happening

    Zooey Deschanel is one of these indie actresses that gets credit for being very talented, but if you watch her, she's not that great an actress at all (like Mena Suvari). She picks less commercial projects so everyone just assumes she's got this terrific talent but she's pretty average.

    The Love Guru

    It was 4th place on Friday. Myers will probably end up doing another Austin powers film now, since actors tend to return to franchises once their other projects fail. I mean, I doubt we'd have got Indiana Jones 4 if Harrison Ford's career hadn't been in a downturn for the last decade.
  13. The love guru is getting pretty scathing reviews. The Aintitcool one was particularly brutal.

    Campaign 2008

    What are you talking about? I've said a few times I don't think he's an evil guy and that he probably had good intentions as far as Iraq is concerned. I've also defended him when people have trotted out the cliched 'he's stupid' arguement.

    Bush suggests his brother may run for president one day http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/...ect-of-a-third/ Thankfully, Bush has done such an awful job it seems unlikely anyone named Bush could get elected to dog catcher let alone president in the future. Still a scary idea, though.

    News You Can (barely) Use

    WWE legal finally responds to some of Irv Muchnick's wackier allegations regarding Benoit's death. http://muchnick.net/babylon/2008/06/16/wwe...uchnicks-reply/

    The Happening

    I just saw it. It wasn't that bad. Just a fun little B movie. The deaths were probably the best part. The dialogue came off as totally false though, and Mark Wahlberg is the least believable science teacher in the history of film.

    Battlestar Galactica

    If you go back and look at the scene where Baltar interrupts the cylons, the camera focuses on D'anna for a few moments, and she has this look of total reverence on her face as soon as she sees him. I thought that was interesting and it might indicate he is the final cylon. I did love Chief's reaction to getting caught, as well. Just total relief. And Adama's going apeshit after he found out about tigh was terrific too. The mystery of Starbuck pristine viper has yet to be resolved, although I've heard it speculated that the starbuck that came back may not be the same one of the past three seasons and that's why its not the same viper.

    It depends who's saying it,too. Natalie Portman is Ivy league educated, so she probably does know a thing or two. I'd wouldn't mind listening to what she had to say rather than Lindsay Lohan or Tara Reid who obviously have no clue. It works both ways, though: Britney Spears said something along the lines of 'trusting the president in every decision he makes and support that' and she sounded so braindead. I think they might have made fun of it on family guy.

    You're unlikely to mistake Victoria Crawford with the other Victoria, though.

    I'll give him credit for managing to coax such great performances out of Bruce Willis. I never thought he was that good an actor if he wasn't playing John Mcclaine, but he's terrific in both the sixth sense and unbreakable.

    Battlestar Galactica

    D'anna saying the last cylon wasn't in the fleet answered the question of whether Zarek is a cylon. I was fairly sure he was the final one. I guess Dee and Gaeta can also no longer be considered. I'm beginning to think its Baltar. He was on the basestar when D'anna said the last cylon wasn't in the fleet so it would make sense. There's been so much of a question mark over him throughout the series some people think he can't possibly be a cylon now, but maybe that's what would make it so unpredictable.

    I didn't mind signs, apart from the whole 'the aliens are incredibly smart and have mastered intergalatic space travel but somehow didn't realize the planet they travelled thousands of light years to colonize was filled of the one substance they were deathly allegeric to' plot line.
