What I love about Hollywood: In Rosanna Arquette's docu about the plight of the over-30 A-list actress Searching for Debra Winger, a roundtable of a dozen A/B list actresses were complaining about how hard it is for them to be taken seriously when they don't look or act like bimbos. What none of them mentioned (or possibly even observed) was that all but one of them was blonde, at least 50% of which was from a bottle.

Full disclosure: I actually like the overall film.

Sandra Bullock is the new Buffy, kicking sparkly vampire ass and blind siding werewolves all weekend.

If for no other reason, I will continue to enjoy watching Sandra Bullock because she looks like she has the lips she was born with. Ditto for Jennifer Aniston.

Take note, Courteney Cox and Heather Locklear, because it's getting realllly hard not to avert my eyes.

@DahlELama: She went through a really BAAAAAAAAD period when she was dating Heath Ledger and was really too young for facelifts. Her mouth was stretched so far her head nearly split in two every time she smiled. But with the help of a good "rehab surgeon" she's recovered beautifully and looks...exactly like Sandra Bullock, twenty years ago.

Sigh. here we go again. Sandra Bullock = very nice lady. Does a lot for charities. Reputation of being incredibly nice, giving, great to work with. Makes very amusing, non-threatening films that many people enjoy (including me). And, finally, god forbid a woman is actually getting parts in Hollywood, filling theater seats and not being some type of tabloid or Maxim magazine victim.
Go Sandy. You keep starring in them and I'll keep seeing them.

@manchops: But, she's a woman and not all of her films have made a bajillion dollars. Therefore it's baffling!!

I have an 8-pack of something, but those are just leftovers from this weekend's case.

""The Blind Side" won this weekend with $129.3 million cumulative box office take, compared to "New Moon"'s $15.7."

You're comparing cumulative box office for one film with weekly box office? Oh, man, "Titanic"'s $1.2 BIL cum wiped the floor with "Amored"'s measly $4 mil.

Yeah? Well, Buggery Bullocks aside, Krupps still makes a great coffee maker (and toaster oven btw!). Thanks Krupps!

As we've already discussed, at length, everybody loves Sandra Bullock, especially other women. And Sandra Bullock is just about the only thing that could get women to watch this movie about football, since unlike me most women don't have crushes on the author of the book. Not enough beefcake in tight pants shots to compensate for the fact it's, you know, a FOOTBALL movie.

@raincoaster: Indeed, indeed. But you must realize there are parts of the country where men and women will go see anything with FOOTBALL in it. And add a heartwarming story about suburban white people helping Negroes succeed through football? Voila, box office smash.

@raincoaster: Ahem. This woman voluntarily spent nine hours watching college and pro football this weekend. I don't even look at the asses anymore. Well...all right...I seldom look.
