    In reply to Did Avatar Really Cost $500 Million?
    The fact that Cameron has already been quoted laying blame on whose fault it will be _if_ this movie fails to perform at the box office is pretty much telling me that it's guaranteed to at least underperform at the box office. It might pull in impressive numbers at the box office, or it might not, but either way I don't expect it to turn a profit until it's had some time on the DVD shelf. #avatar

    In reply to X2 Screenwriter Explains How He Would Have Written X3
    X3 is one of those movies I refuse to acknowledge as actually existing. Kind like the latter two "Matrix" movies... every odd-numbered "Trek" movie... etc. I find my life less-painful that way. #xmen

    I have been trying and trying to think of some sort of plot that could be used with the mixture of Battleship and Aliens and I can't think of any scenario that would work without Sigourney Weaver. #battleship

    Oh Hollywood...

    Why not just have it start out with some War Games type exercises which escalate into real combat either through a breakdown in communications (ala Crimson Tide) or a group infiltrating the games trying to take over/steal some of the warships (ala Under Seige). Or both of those ideas combined....

    Yes, they have been done before but they're also easier than getting aliens involved. Besides Hollywood likes it when you can pitch new ideas using previous films.

    Nothing witty to say, but I'm pretty sure the inspiration came from the same place as it did for this album cover.

    The original photo's from a book entitled Stolen Glances: Lesbians Take Photographs edited by Tessa Boffin and Jean Fraser.

    Don't say you never learn anything here. #starwars

    If Jeff Goldblum were to be in this, he would infect one of the pegs with a virus and send it to the aliens so that his pegs could swoop in and destroy their spacebattleship #battleship

    The Goldblum impression in that Critic clip is one of the worst I've ever seen and I absolutely love it. #jurassicpark

    That's just, um, embarrassing.

    Why not throwing in fighting robots, gay werewolves and zombies, too? #battleship
