Seriously - it was all I could do not to type the part about Hellboy II in 12-year-old AOLer-style caps. I hope Dark Knight doesn't kill Hellboy the second week.

Really? Even Eva Longoria cringes when she thinks of that waste of celluloid. Eric, I can see you liking most of those movies that others thought stunk, but “Over Her Dead Body”? Really?

So they are in fact different movies, then? Weird, I was reading “The Pianist” and thinking “English Patient” in my head. So they are in fact different movies, then?

When I saw it I was one of four people in the theater. As I left I felt sorry for all the other movie goers watching the other screens who had missed out on watching the Pianist. I was glad it got recognized at the Oscars so others could join my bandwagon! It's one of only three movies I've ever bought the day they came out. The others, by the way, were My Best Friend's Wedding and the cartoon Anastasia. I don't know what that says about me? I actually just felt a little sad when I read that you didn’t like the Pianist.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law) There should be a similar rule for movies. "If you're movie villain is a Nazi, you automatically lose one whole grade point." Even Indian Jones isn't fighting Nazi any more! You know “Godwin’s Law?” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law)
