Hmm... I didn't watch any of the Oscars so I at least can't say. I will say that 'Zoolander' grew out of a short spoof of the fashion industry that he did for the VH1 Fashion Awards.
I do like stupid humor, but it has to have some sort of witty edge for me. I HATE Adam Sandler and all his ilk... the Chris Farleys and the Jim Carreys of the 'comedy world'. To me they are one trick ponies and I don't like the trick. Look, I'm a stupid man-child! Look, I'm a fat pig who breaks stuff and yells! Look, I can move my mouth in all sorts of stupid ways and deliver every one of my lines with the same over-emphasis on the last syllable!
For me there's a fine balance between intelligently stupid-acting and just getting laughs because you're stupid. But as usual, I digress from the subject at hand.
and DAYV... Why man??? Why an 'ex'????

She has a minor (but funny) role. Is Zoolander good? Tough question. If you know Ben Stiller and his comedy (ie from his short lived TV show) and are a fan of it, then its stupidly hilarious most of the time. Same goes for 'Dodge Ball'. On the other hand if you either don't like or aren't familiar with his stuff then you might not like it. I'm always very wary of telling people that they'll enjoy one comedy film or another as our tastes vary so much. But I'd check it out if you're curious in the least.

A very good (short of greatness though IMO) film and Milla plays it a lot more seriously than most of her films.
She was fun in 'Zoolander' as well:

She does need to expand her acting career and I think she'd be very good in a variety of roles but as an ex-stoner chick wild-child I think she just likes goofy fun roles.
And is very comfortable with her body.
I LOVE her eyes.

You should go to an airport where its snowing, run out on the runway and yell "HHHOOOOoooolllllllLLLLLLYYYYYyyyyyyyy!!!".
Oh and kill a bunch of badguys while you're there.
But yes, it sucks to not be with someone you want to be with.

The watchdog group also criticized networks for coarsening the dialogue with potty humor and mean-spirited name-calling. There's also been a trend toward mimicking movies in including double-entendres so shows will appeal to both children and adults, their report said.
Rich said he didn't expect critical reports like this to change the industry's habits. Only if parents become more aware and reject violent shows will the industry listen, he said.
"This should be the age of utter innocence for a child," Bozell said. "Hollywood should do anything within its power to protect that innocence."

(I love how the article above shows a picture of the old 'New' Teen Titans TPB which has little to nothing to do with the animated show. lol.)
The Parents Television Council analyzed 444 hours of kids' daytime programs last summer and detailed 2,794 violent incidents, even after sifting out "cartoony" moments like those involving the Road Runner. That's 6.3 incidents an hour — more than the PTC found in prime time aimed at adults during a 2002 study.
Programs like Teen Titans on the Cartoon Network and ABC Family Channel's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers often feature intense fights with swords, guns and lasers, the group said.

NRAMA: Sticking with Superboy - the battle between Superboy and everyone. From your eyes, how did it get out of control, so quickly?
DD: Superboy is a teenager raised in isolation, with raging hormones, a huge chip on shoulder and the powers of a god. He never learned how to keep his powers or emotions in check, so when confronted, the situation escalated and he had no idea on how to defuse it. Think of a situation where you, as a teenager, lost your temper. Now imagine you have the power to crush a planet. Do you think that situation would have ended differently?
So its *hormones*. Oh THAT explains it!
NRAMA: In line with looking at what’s coming, when do we get the motive behind Alex Luthor’s madness? He’s single-minded on his quest for a “perfect” earth. Why?
DD: He’s a Luthor and Luthors are always right. Or at least, they think they are.

Q: And at the bottom of the page? Luthor…
A: Is a dick. As the Psycho Pirate learns, Lois and Superboy Prime were simply two pieces on the board that he moved in order to get what he wanted. Of course, the Superboy comment will come back to bite him in the ass later, as DC’s Dan Didio pointed out in this week’s Crisis Counseling - Luthors always –and occasionally fatally – underestimate Superman.

This really makes me wonder if the current editorial staff read and understood COIE or if they just skimmed it and took note of names.

(Superboy Prime, on the other hand, has no excuse. He was raised by the Kents on Earth Prime for the first 16 or so years of his life. He is actually older than Alex Luthor, physically at least. Emotionally, yeah, he's about two. And I hate him.)

Yep- no excuse! They better have a pretty damn good reason to have him acting that way and to do all the things that've happened to E2 Superman.. more reaosn than just 'we needed a reason for the crisis and this fit.'

Those aside, the absolute greatest theater-going experience I've had in many years was the Lord of the Rings 'Trilogy Tuesday' December before last... what a day! That was the single ticket price showing of the extended editions of FOTR and TTT leading into the midnight showing of ROTK. The theater was capacity (of course), everyone was encouraged to bring pillows, blankets, their own snacks and drinks, etc. The theater chain, AMC, even BOUGHT pizza for the ENTIRE crowd and ran a special by which you could buy 1 popcorn and 1 drink and get free refills for the enitre three shows! They also had $1 nachos and hotdogs... AND you even got a commemorative 'film cel' display.
What an amazing day!

Not *another* title!!!! Bah!
lol
I finally read 'Supreme Power' 1-18 this past weekend. Very good and thanks for the recommendation! Of course now I'll need to get the mini-series that follow it to stay caught up.
As I kow you liked SP, I'd highly recommend you read (if you haven't already) three series from creator Rick Veitch- 'Maximortal', 'The One' and 'Brat Pack'. They all cover similar ground as SP and are even darker in many ways. SP is *maybe* a bit derivative of these series too but I'm *sure* JMS never read any of them.

Actually she's been even worse. When I was living in Tampa she used to show up occasionally in the club district down there (Ybor City) and I tell you what- for awhile in the mid 90s she looked (and acted) like the crack whore from hell. Very sad. At least she cleaned up but that's a hard road to recover from.
