Why is the Star Trek bit made up entirely of references to Star Wars? Is this some ultra-subtle Defamer irony, a comment on the interchangability of nerd-tastic sci-fi universes? Or did someone actually get confused?

"... as well as screenwriters/Reno: 911! costars/members of The State Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant ..."

Fixed, Deadspin-style. The State rules.

But the terminator did suck hard! I want so badly for a robot from to future to come back and kill McG (and whoever wrote that crap) before they even conceive this picture.

Night At The Museum was like something from 1992. Hank Azaria doing his best Jeremy Irons caricature and Christopher Guest just...well picking up a paycheck.

Only reason to see it (other than having to look after in-law's kids and figuring it'll shut them up for a couple hours while I slip into a Jameson-induced semi-coma) is Amy Adam's Earhart. Who should really be given her own spin-off.

Star Trek rules the fucking universe, T4 is one of the worst films ever made and McG should die, now, preferably and Easy Virtue further strengthens the case that Jessica Biel shouldn't ever act. Ever.

@Goethewritesdrivel: Listen, I understand the power the woman's ass has over the majority of the human race but I stand by my statement. She does a very good impression of a Polaroid being shaken.

That is all.

Stiller was (and is?) overexposed for a while, given that he generally plays the exact same character in every one of his films, but can I just please take this chance to say that I thought Tropic Thunder was one of the most brilliant comedies ever made? It was funny as hell, and I feel like it was saying... something... that I still can't quite put my finger on. Not about war, and not about movies, but about comedy. And it's not easy to make a comedy that both makes fun of comedy and drama and is still funny. (Lots of movies try; almost none succeed.)

That said, I saw part of the first NATM on HBO or something and I couldn't even sit through it. Cripes. Stiller was Stiller, same as always, but I felt like I was watching Home Alone what with all the stupid music and predictable plot and characters.

My opinion on Ben Stiller boils down to this: not a great actor, but generally a funny guy, and more creative than he gets credit for. He really should be making more of his own films, and starring in fewer of other people's.

@badasscat: Agreed with you on every single point. TT was brill, and I usually hate Stiller movies (Along Came Polly, Meet the Parents/Fockers, NATM to name some of the garbagier ones).

"Easy Virtue" @ $14,000+ per screen is the one that came out with all guns blazing.

I saw T4 on Sunday. I SO BADLY wanted to love it. Bale uses the Batman voice the ENTIRE TIME. I'll call it "alright".
