I'll have to keep eyes open for that as well. A shame that American audiences
are so ADD/ADHD that they can't be expected to sit still for the full length of
the epic, and need it pared down for them.

It can be argued that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a better movie
than either of the first two movies Chris Columbus directed. Beyond that, can
it be suggested that the Potter movies benefit from each being a translation of
a fully-fleshed novel? The James Bond (Goldfinger is a heck

Indeed. The funniest, saddest and scariest part of the article is how the
religious wrong is using this as proof that man was meant to be heterosexual
(cause, you know, if God had condoned homosexuality it would have been Adam and
Steve instead of Adam and Eve).

That's very true. There is a lot of dogma controlling some and
influencing others in the church. Ever notice that they never talk

Unfortunately, I think that you are right about that. Unless there is
another actors strike. I think that they have a contract until 2012? Studios
