Man, Even Stevens was literally the best show ever on the Disney Channel. Remember the musical episode? Who would've thought that this is what Louis would turn out to be like? I miss Ren! #shialabeouf
@JessickerFletcher: Honestly, I'd like to see what Beans has been up to! They aired Even Stevens on one of the Disney channels at 6:30 AM up until like last week. I've been kind of forlorn getting ready for school without it :/ #shialabeouf
@JessickerFletcher: When Shia was this new up and coming movie star, I could never quite take him seriously because he would've always, always been Louis Stevens who drew armpit hair on himself with a Sharpie. #shialabeouf
@HighSchoolFearleader: This is why I hate my high school. We start at 7:00. DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN!
Also, I recently found out that not only is Beans Abigail Breslin's brother but he also shares the same birthday as me an Tina Fey. Wikipedia-ing your birthday is a fun and informative experience! #shialabeouf
@TexasCrude: I thought the same exact thing! He was also the obnoxious little brother with a secret heart of gold (remember when he and Ren were battling on a game show with the basis of embarrassing siblings to win theme park tickets and instead of showing a video clip of her boyfriend cheating on her, he showed a clip revealing that she didn't brush her teeth in a circular motion that dentists recommend?) #shialabeouf
@JessickerFletcher: I love that episode. I still bruise a rib laughing when they're on the show wearing each other's shirts (Ren was wearing a plain shirt, Louis was wearing a cap sleeved one).
My favorite ES episode is probably the Loomis Stevens episode. #shialabeouf
Yes I'd love to tour the Southland
In a traveling minstrel show
Yes I'm dying to be a star and make them laugh
Sound just like a record on the phonograph
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah
@sassyredhead:
Well, I've seen 'em on the TV, the movie show
They say the times are changing, but I just don't know
These things are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah
And they remain fitting ...
(Seriously, did you ever see "China Syndrome" on DVD or TV? Michael Douglas was gorgeous -- I think I crushed on him all the way from that up through the Gekko portrayal. I was a scrap, and my parents were activist-ish, so a lot of that stuff was in the house (although I don't recommend showing the average 15-year-old "FailSafe"), and I think he was my first real H-wood-esque crushy-crush, along with Prince. I liked them older but shouty and shooting off sparks, I guess.)
@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: China Syndrome is a seriously wonderful movie. I am old enough to have seen it in the theaters right around the time of Three Mile Island, which of course was very freaky. Michael Douglas was a sight, though I was more into Jane Fonda (and of course Jack Lemmon acted circles around them both). Fail-Safe is another favorite flick, with Larry Hagman providing the eye candy, if you must.
@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: I'm old enough to remember Streets of San Francisco...he was super foxy in that. But I also have a thing for older, loud and activist-ish men.
@DuckDuckGoose: I did indeed must. I was swooning through my tears.
And Walter Matthau too, in a crooked, evil way.
(I'm a professor's kid; I'm prone. What can I say.)
@sassyredhead: I think you and my mom would get along well. When we watched "China Syndrome", she said "He was also in Streets of San Francisco", and since Nick at Nite and the Action Channel and all those didn't have those in round-the-clock syndication yet, I had to squint at her and say "What is that?" and she just rolled her eyes.
Of course, this is the woman who hooked me on Mission Impossible in the original B&W, so I spent much too much money just to see Vanessa Redgrave, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers and wish I was Thandie Newton.
On the main page, I thought that this was Benjamin Bratt (ladyboner rising... rising...)
-- but then I clicked on it, and it was Shia LeBeouf (ladyboner hides).
Between this and Indiana Jones, it seems Shia has certainly monopolized the sought-after "apprentice to sextagenarian men earning a paycheck by making a sequel to a 20-year-old movie" niche. Good job, Shia!
@sarah.of.a.lesser.god (aka Mrs. BrutallyHonestHobbit): Honestly? I can't wait to see what they're going to come up with.
Is Oliver going to direct? Did Gekko do time, or did he plead out? Did Kate divorce him?
Inquiring minds want to knooooooww!
@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: As far as I know, Oliver Stone is directing this one as well. I'm curious about it too, but it kind of cracked me up that Shia seems to have the same basic role in this as he did in Indy 4l
@#c15871699: The film is set 20 years after the first film, in June 2008. Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) has just been released from his prison sentence of 20 years. More at [en.wikipedia.org]
@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: They even did it with Newman/Cruise in The Color of Money. Yeah, nothing was going to convince me Tommy boy would be the next Paul Newman.
@DuckDuckGoose: No way. I am so hooked right now.
Thanks for the link! That cast looks killer. I would watch Frank Langella read the phone book. And Susan too -- I saw her on B'way and she is even more ridiculous live than she is on film. Unbelievable.
And Stewart is going to do the score again!
*swoons*
I know it's a lot to hope for, but maybe Oprah's new selection is the Boonsdocks comic strip series, "Public Enemy #2". I know that it's not, but still...that would be really sweet.
The Jack Klugman story is heartbreaking. Reality stars can just keep sueing and then getting another reality show and get more money and sue again, but here's a man who actually had talent and a good show, and he's struggling after 20 years to get the money he deserves for his actual hard work.
This made me realize how much stupid media speculation I've absorbed about MJ. I clicked on the link for the doc who said he wanted to impregnate her, and i was surprised that she was black. Then I was like WTF? Why would I actually think I know enough about MJ to be surprised by that?!? Shit, I think I need to stop reading the internets before I become a self-proclaimed expert on all kinds of shit I'm not qualified to have an opinion on.

The sexagenarians seem to take it as their privilege to tap the "next one with potential". I flash back to "Two for the Money" and "The Recruit."
But I think I'd rather watch whatever they come up with instead of "Transformers."

A clear liquor girl, I tried my first whiskey because I said to myself, "Well, if Eddie were here, he'd probably tell me to ..."
(I think I actually also read somewhere that was Tom's idea; he's like the sexagenarian in reverse. He wanted to work with all the great actors.)
