    Not that Jay ever put out an album that trumped Illmatic, but he did expound on the above song, and handled that sample with great care. Also, caviar is to 1998 as Lexus is to 1996. Which is true, although I'm not sure what that says. Yeah.

The commenting page looks completely different from how it used to, and I couldn't figure out what the hell "Share" was referring to. So, you are not alone.

    @Foster Kamer: Thank you. I think that should the axe fall, I'm going to survive the holidays by whoring myself out to lonely empty nesters. For a low fee, I'll come over towards the middle of the holidays to make cookies and wrap presents. I'll listen to all of the stories about how Aunt Barbara's just going to burn the ham again this year, and I'll help address the holiday cards. For an additional fee, I'll turn up on the 24th in an ugly sweater for a cup of cocoa. For just a little more, I'll call on January 1, just to wish a happy and healthy 2010.

    If we look back to the article on the top 50 highest grossing films of the decade, I think we can agree that brand loyalty is often a bigger driver than quality.

    Add to that the fact that Bullock's movies, while bad, are forgettable and her "likability." With all of that you get America's BFF Sandy and a career that will continue to until Hollywood finds Bullock 2.0.

    @OopsRecession: Oh no, we can more than stand Sandra Bullock. In fact I'm positively in love with her pre-surgery self.

    We're just mystified at these claims that she's added perceptible value to any film project since 1997 or so.

    If pushed, I'll grant the possibility that maybe there was something to 28 Days. I saw 20 minutes of it once and the casting of Steve Buscemi seemed promising.

    She's the only one that knows where that dead hooker is buried.
    Several high-profile producers decided to greenlight anything she wants because killing her is more trouble than it's worth.
    And she's the only one that knows because she's the one who buried the hooker in the first place!*

    I just saw "The Proposal" (from Netflix) and it was awful, stupid and made no sense. Plus, Sandy looked at least 10-15 years older than the guy she played opposite. (Can't remember his name and it doesn't matter.) I gave it one star and swore I would never, ever, waste another hour of my life watching a Sandra Bullock movie!!!

    Yes, I agree, she is friendly and funny but that doesn't make up for the movies she chooses to star in. This new one where she plays the "rich white lady" helping the "poor colored boy" looks revolting!! I saw the trailer once in the theatre last year and wanted to scream at the screen. Terrible!!

    @Cfegrl: It was a pretty shit movie, but I really liked that she was obviously a decade or more older than him, and it wasn't an issue. It wasn't the point of the movie, which I thought was quite progressive in and of itself. And yes, Betty White was funny in it, and also, I cried when Sandy told Ryan her back story and why she was so fucked up. It was a dramatic moment and she was good. I do think she can be a very good actress.

    Everyone loves Sandra Bullock, and that's just THAT.

    I'm going to watch The Blind Side, simply because it's based on the Michael Lewis book, but yeah, when you know Sandra Bullock is in it you just know it's gonna be self-consciously "heartwarming."

    The commenter who equated her with Sally Field is right, only Sandra would never have slept with Johnny Carson. Well, not sober. I only wish she'd had the chance to play opposite an age-appropriate Jimmy Stewart, because that would have been perfect.

    She's not become the new Kate Hepburn of screwball comedy in LARGE part because nobody's writing screwball comedies that are that good anymore, duh.

    Also, she hasn't reached her sell-by-date yet in Hollywood terms because she's got the best surgeon in the known universe (after a disastrous interlude when she was dating Heath Ledger and had her face stretched so much she looked like the Joker herself).

    @raincoaster: Well, Hudsucker Proxy is a screwball comedy of sorts with a big lump of irony thrown in. But the Coen's cast Jennifer Jason Leigh, if I recall correctly in the female lead. JJL is one of my favorites. Bullock? Dunno, I saw her in The Net, which stunk, and have never had the desire to watch her again. She's so smarmy and goody-goody, and not very interesting to watch on screen.

    @Trixie from Toronto: I've liked her in everything she's been in, including 28 Days (and not just because Viggo was in it). She's charming, she's a good dramatic actress when she lays off the Botox, and she's fantastic in chick flicks. And I, my friends, am a chick.

    Her screen chemistry with Hugh Grant is phenomenal when (I'm sorry) the fabled Julia Roberts/Hugh Grant chemistry in Notting Hill was DOA. She's just an excellent, excellent costar who never steals a scene without permission.

    And actually YES, Sandy, if you're reading this, I have a script for you. It's not mine, so I can't be accused of self-interest. But it's a drama that'll shut up the critics once and for all.

    Babe, message me on my Gawker Page. It'll give Denton a thrill.

    This article came out in 1993 in their second issue on the stands and ...The Net was released in 1995.
    There was other software in development, but this was the only one that had mysterious deaths, intel and corporate intrigue attached to it.
