Visual Effects Supervisor, Kevin Mack's Fight Club opening sequence was a truly groundbreaking shot - aside from the reasons he mentions, the fact that the brain is correctly mathematically rendered to scale, and that it is a single, uninterrupted camera movement without cut or transition, makes it an Orson Welles / Alfred Hitchcock shot the likes of which hasn't been seen in some time.

Yet, because of its' simple elegance, it is unobtrusive as an effects shot, and serves as a perfect foreshadowing, summarizing scene with which to open the story.

All I can picture now is a roomful of producers and a pantsless Kate Winslet sitting in the middle as they scrutinize her for pubic hair regrowth and discuss a plan B if there is not as much hair as they need.

I cannot help it, but when I read "I'm a celebrity get me outta here" this is the insta-dialogue in my head:

"I'm a celebrity": Nope, nope you're not.

"Get me outta here": Go away and it's all good.

As much as I'm over vampires being the hot new thing right now, I would read del Toro's book/watch the movie he'll probably adapt of it. Because del Toro is just that cool.

@Remedios Varo can't see no huevos.: Yes, yes he is. And considering what he did to fairy tales in Pan's Labyrinth...

RE the Melissa Joan Hart quote: the editor of People gave a similar quote to the New York Times. He said that the only way Farrah was getting on the cover again was if she were to die soon. It was in a conversation where he was also deciding whether to put MJH on the cover.

Oh Guillermo Del Toro, please stop talking about vampires as the Ultimate Bad Boys! I am so sick of vampires I no longer looking forward to season 2 of True Blood.

Can we move on to the Next Big Thing already?

I don't know who Nellie McKay is but I'm pretty sure getting angry about that lyric is only going to solidify the point.

@Majrhoulihan: That's what this comment was saying. ie, if the humor isn't recognized in the lyric then the point stands.

A bit clever, ketamine kitty!

Hugh Laurie is almost 50? For some reason this does not decrease my attraction to him whatsoever, despite the fact I am almost 30 years younger.

Several days ago I was watching both Michael Sheen and Lucy Davis in a 1997 television series called The Grand. Michael is instantly recognisble whatever he does but I couldn't work out who Lucy was until the credits.Michael, I think, is destined to be one our finest actors, which is more than can be said for his ex wife.

Taylor, you seem like a nice kid and I think you are just cute as a button, but um, did you actually READ New Moon? It isn't about heartbreak. It's about Bella whining for about 300 pages.

That said, if K-Stew can make the role more compelling somehow, I believe you.

Jude Law is playing Hamlet on the stage in London, and one of his costars - the skull he holds when he gives the "Alas, poor Yorick" speech - comes from Salt Lake City, Utah and dates back to 1800.

Sorry, Jude Law. David Tennant is my Dream Hamlet (tm). I am going to buy like eleventy billion copies of his (Tennant's) BBC Hamlet when it comes out.

@lilbobbytables: wait... is a film of his Hamlet really coming out, for real? It won't be the same as the stage, but seeing as tix were £250 when I tried to buy (and he was ill anyways) I'd happily settle for a TV/film/DVD version!

@remedymalahide: [www.upi.com]

This better not be lies. My poor heart would break into a billion pieces that only kidnapping David Tennant and forcing him to act soliloquies would fix. But that would come with jail, and I have seen Oz. No thanks.

@lilbobbytables: I would have loved to see David Tennant as Hamlet. That said, Sam West still reigns as the best I have ever seen. The man held the entire audience in the palm of his hand for three hours.

@Wit is periodically disensouled: I saw Alan Cumming as Hamlet when he was much, much younger- and he is my standard now. Just the right amount of crazy.

@tiny_danza: Hearted for your excellent naming skillz (both your cat and your screen name). One question though: was the cat short or long haired? Because, you know, short-haired cats are really just pre-pubescent kitties and why would anyone want to cuddle with that? ;)
