    One good question is, why would he do it? The PR choices seem dubious.

    All of the supporting cast in Fat Actress were brilliant. Including Kelly Preston (Travolta's wife) whose insane "diet guru" advice was "eat paper (no calories, fills you up)." She was "recommended" by John Travolta playing himself. (Kelly is NOT playing herself).


    In thinking about Travolta...his stardom, fall from stardom, resurrection after Pulp Fiction/Michael/Face Off (and a few others), and then decline again got me to thinking they should do Fat Actress again.


    Her assistants were wacky and wonderful. I wish it would either come back on (now that Kirstie has regained) or become a movie. There's just about nothing that draws me to the movie theater these days.

    The Pelham Bay line is the number 6. When this movie came out in the 70s that is what it was supposed to be.

    The most disturbing news I have read today is that some people still like Tony Scott movies after Man on Fire and Domino. This does not bode well for humanity. If you're one of those people, please don't even reply to my comment. I'm that scared I'll catch your germs.

    I had to see Pelham 123 yesterday with my dad. I knew it was going to be a McMovie as every movie with Denzel Washinton is now. It should do okay because he gets a built in black audience.


    I thought the acting was pretty good (especially John Tuturro) but the editing and everything else was weak. The intro was the most bizarre sequence I've ever seen, kind of like an advertising or music video rather than a movie.


    I generally stay away from mind numbing movies like this but the 'rents love them.

    Um, no.


    "Pelham 123," as it was explained in the earlier movie, is a #6 train (the Pelham Line). It departed Pelham, the start of its run, at 1:23. Hence it is Pelham 123.

    Richard, it's the 6 train. The hijacked train left Pelham Bay at 1:23 -- at least that's why they call it that in the '70s original, which is a very good movie.

    Richard, the 123 is the time the whole thing goes down, as one critic has reported. I don't know, personally, because I haven't seen the movie. Not because I don't like Denzel or Travolta, just because I have a system and movies about trains don't enter into it. Something about Speed being way too long, and by the time the train thing happened…I wanted Bullock and Reeves dead already.


    Also, some new critic hack on local Fox news said Denzel wasn't very nice to her during the Pelham junket when she asked him if he rides the subway. He basically said, "Um, no. No I don't ride the subway." And she's all like, "But you're from New York." And he's like, "Yes. But I no longer ride the subway as I live in LA."


    The nerve. How very rude of him. Pfffttt. Fox: Stupid even when it's almost impossible to be.

    My recollection is that "Runaway Train", with John Voigt and Eric Roberts, was a very good movie.

    Greenlighting a sequel before a movie comes out is the best marketing tactic of all time. They should have tried that for Glitter.

    Ten years ago, it would have been a possibility for Green Day to come out and play something random and then bust shit up. They just aren't the same band anymore.

    Was last night Darrell Hammond's last show? During the goodbyes the cast kept pointing at him, making a big to-do. Has this been announced? Say what you will about him, but he has the longest tenure in the show's history. Seems if it was his last episode he would get a better sendoff, no? Unless he didn't want one, which is possible.

    @Midwesterner in NYC: Hammond did get the last line of the last sketch, and you're right they were making a fuss over him. So it's likely he's not returning in the fall.

    @lacieca01: Me three. There were a lot of ways they could have opened the show, with him as Cheney being one of the weakest. That's what tipped me off. And he seems like the kind of guy who wouldn't want a fuss made over leaving. Wonder what he's going to do now.

    @noonecaresowen: I was thinking that too, but it didn't hit me until they made it obvious at the end. He has the longest full-time tenure ever and apparently has done the cold opening more times than anyone else. I would imagine he might make cameos in the future, but this was a way to say goodbye as a full-timer. It's strange, because I've seen him say in interviews that SNL was his only career goal. He never wanted to use it as a stepping stone into sitcoms or movies.
