Guess I slept through this week somehow. I’m 0/6 on seeing these! The one I regret missing the most is Water Lilies.

Well, Fox, you certainly know how to push my buttons…

Emma Watson is England’s Blake Lively. (Requisite Gossip Girl reference for Evan…).

Remember when Evan Rachel Woods was kinda cute? Now she kinda resembles a Tranny. Manson ruined her life.

p.s. 90210 version 2.0 starts tonight. Hey everybody, LET’S LIVE BLOG IT!!!

30-45 minutes is a good podcast length.

“Internal” maleness? That sounds like a serious medical problem…

Well, they don’t care about him as a leading comedic talent. He was doing just fine in brilliant supporting roles. Hopefully he goes back to work with P.T. Anderson rather than starring in Taladegga 2 (ugh, knock on wood).

If Reilly were a draw, Walk Hard would have been a hit. I listed him in my 2007 losers because he should be a star now, but the American people have spoken loud and clear: they don’t care.

Rachel McAdams and Evan Rachel Wood always get to you, don’t they Craig?

The Promotion just looks like Apatow leftovers to me. It is a bit surprising how fast it crashed and burned. I would think Reilly would be a little bit of a bigger draw these days, enough to carry a modest indie like this.

I freely admit that love of Rachel McAdams and Patricia Clarkson may have put me over the top with Married Life. It’s a trifle, but I think a decent evening’s rental.

Water Lilies was more interesting than I thought it would be, though again I’m biased because I have a thing for all things French.

I heard both good and bad things about The Promotion when it played (inster whatever the hell film festival it was…sundance? SXSW? I dunno) but no one I trust has raved about it. Anyone here see it?

Ah G, you are a man after mt own heart. Good to hear some more Fist of Legend love.

And Karl Pilkington is awesome. Part of the fun is trying to figure out if he’s for real or not.

30-60 minutes is nice for a podcast.

Then She Found Me is kind of sort of decent. Saw it earlier this year and laughed a few times, although I wasn’t raving about it afterward.

Podcasts: I prefer the 1 hr format as long as the material is consistent and solid. I could listen to Ricky Gervais mock Karl Pilkington until I die, but I’m sometimes tempted to skip through a story during This American Life.

Just my $.02.

I think I will skip the rental store this week and sit myself in front of TCM. Currently Playing : Anatomy of a Murder (Jimmy Stewart…drool)

Podcast question.

I prefer podcasts between 30min and an hour long. Over an hour is just too long. I listen to podcasts while commuting, and anything over an hour I won’t listen to. The podcast I am involved with “After the Credits” tries to land between 20 to 45 minutes in length.

Yeah, so Fist of Legend is just awesome. Just straight up awesome.

Married Life, not so much. It’s not bad, but it had a lot of potential and ends up not doing much with a great cast and a great premise.
