Wasn't there stories about how he fought with Lucy Liu? Like, physically? Hard to fault Bill for headbutting McG, though.

Has anyone read "Tom Shales' Live From New York? The guy decked Chevy Chase backstage. Again, perhaps something that should be applauded, but at the same time, this news should not be too surprising.

@Midwesterner in NYC: Yeah, the surprise over the fact that Murray got physical is baffling to me. This is completely within character. And count me in with those who still love him anyway.

Who else could have done Groundhog Day or Lost in Translation at the time? The man may be a reluctant artist, but he is an artist.

First of all, It's O'Hare not O'Hara airport....

Secondly, regarding the annoying name of McG:

From Wikipedia (and I think I read this in the LA Times):

Regarding his name, McG has stated that:

It's fun to hate a guy called McG. In my humble opinion it's sheer fucking lunacy because it's just short for McGinty - fucking get past it. My name is Joseph McGinty Nichol. My mother's maiden name is McGinty. My uncle is Joe, my grandfather was Joe. I was called McG since the day I was born because we were broke and there were three Joes in the house. There's no Hollywood, 'I think I'll give myself a nickname' bullshit. It just is. And at some point I would be a sell-out punk if I rolled over and said, 'Well, call me Joe.' [...] I can only sigh and move forward.

always have and always will love bill. but have heard from friends who've both worked and played with him that he's...let's say 'eccentric'. not an asshole, not a douchebag, just a little odd, very unpredictable, easily bored and surely doesn't suffer fools. so head-butting the likes of mcg would seem to be par for the course. cause i bet (he even sounds like he's admitting it here) mcgeewhiz kinda deserved it.

not to geek out about this but if "sipping cognac and playfully flirting with younger women in hotel bars" is a reference to Lost in Translation, Suntory was WHISKEY!

@chip: I don't the opening weekend was quite as boomtacular as hoped for, and weekend #2 was it's own special form of headbutt.

So now, they're just trying to pretend none of that ever happened, and are reopening it this weekend!

Marketing genius, right?

I also have a Terminator beef, but it may include spoilers. So anyone who hasn't seen it...SPOILER ALERT!

If there were terminators in all the other movies that were all some rendition of The Arnold, whether young and Cro-Magnon, or old with steroid-y muscle sag, why oh why was this John Connor so surprised to see terminators who looked like humans? He was truly baffled. He was once Edward Furlong and had a terminator best buddy, he was that kid from Carnavale and had a second terminator BFF, so I would think as a thirty-something year old revolutionary arm-band wearer the appearance of a terminator who resembled his two previous best friends with skin, blood, and etc., even if not the same likeness, would generate an "Oh, it's you," rather than a "Hey, wait! Skynet has made something new, well call me a pink pony named Daisy, aren't they diabolical." moment. Or did I misinterpret Christian Bales' fine acting skills?

@Spirit Fingers: In the future he hadn't sent Kyle Reese back to sire him yet. Thus, he'd never met a human-looking Terminator before. In the future, he doesn't exist in the past yet. So he's never had any adventures with Arnie, except, in a way, he has. He just doesn't remember it. Because it hasn't happened yet. But it's also always happened. Get it?

@Richard Lawson: Not even if they bent the space time continuum with a redwood tree, would that make sense. Therein lies the reason why this will never, ever, work. And why there should never, ever, be another. Especially if it includes Christian Bale who gets out-acted by almost everyone he's in a movie with, always. Even the little Skynet- soothsayer moppet with the Bandaids was more convincing. Pfffttt! Also, who's the new good-guy terminator dude with the Cold Play jacket? He was cute. Couldn't wait until that guy was onscreen. Bale's varicose vein under-eye area disturbs me. I'd like to not have to look at it in another action film. Helena Bonham Carter is never needed, with or without Tim Burton, I've discovered.

I prefer to believe that John Lasseter was beamed down from heaven on a white cloud, followed thereafter by his disciples Brad Bird, Peter Docter, Andrew Stanton, et al. And it was good.

So Terminator Salvation is the THIRD unforeseen, unplanned sequel. We're all just running out of faith.
