I have always loved his song "Wouldn't It Be Good;" its a great tune.
Deb, have you ever heard this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8f2mW1GFSI
I could be wrong, but I think that Nik Kershaw wrote it.

What season was that? I only started watching in like season 3 or 4 or something.
Kate Mara played "Shari Rothenberg" during Day 5 of "24".
I found out what became of her here:

I love "24" a lot, but they often bring on characters and have them vanish with nary a word 
#228 Re: Square Eyes » In Praise of Chris's Colleagues » 09 Aug 09 :: 01:56
Those are great. Kate Mara is awesome. This looks like it's going to be such a good movie.
Kate Mara is a not-so-secret passion of mine. I always wonder whatever became of her character on 24 ?
#229 Re: Square Eyes » Skins » 07 Aug 09 :: 16:44
I think Simon likes that show, unless I'm mixing it up with something else. Wish I had BBC America...
What's bizarre about Skins (and also another show that BBC-America carries called Ashes to Ashes) is that they occasionally have subtitles. Both shows are English, and I can understand them without the distracting subtitles.

BBC-America started airing the third season of Skins last night. Its like a very rude version of Degrassi :silly:
I kinda like it, although almost all of the characters are reprehensible.

Yeah, I saw a picture of him today, but I still don't know him from anywhere.
Bring back Siskel & Ebert. They were the best :applause:

I liked her best on Any Day Now.
#233 Re: Square Eyes » My Dinner with Jimi » 06 Aug 09 :: 02:24
All "artists" are dinks of one kind or another, I think. Especially musiscians. And Stone, I believe, was projecting a bit of his own celebrated dink-hood into Morrison on that one. LOL!
Eeeeeewwwwww, I don't think I wanna see any movie called Snuff. Not even for growed-up Justin Henry. Nah-ah.
The distressing thing about SNUFF is that it is about exactly what you think its about.
One to avoid.
#234 Re: Square Eyes » My Dinner with Jimi » 05 Aug 09 :: 22:29
Sounds fascinating. Kaylan can be quite funny. I didn't think Morrison was charmless in Stone's film. I just watched it again on cable a couple of weekends ago in fact. He's actually quite adorable in the first hour or so of the movie. Maybe you have to be a chick to appreciate that. I'll definitely keep an eye out for this movie. Justin Henry can still act. I just wish people would give him more chances.
I think that perhaps you have to be a chick to appreciate Jim Morrison, as portrayed in Oliver Stone's movie; to me, he comes across as a dink of the greatest magnitude. I would have crossed the street to avoid hearing him babble 
Justin Henry is good in My Dinner with Jimi, but he didn't even attempt (to my ears) to try and approximate Kaylan's Bronx accent. Also, Henry is the "star" of a direct-to-video flick called "Snuff," that sounds kinda icky.

This is a pretty cool little movie mostly about The Turtles, a band that you will know if you are over, umm, thirty years of age. It is specifically about Howard Kaylan, the lead singer of The Turtles, and his dinner with Jimi Hendrix. The Beatles, the Moody Blues, the Doors and other seminal 60's acts are portrayed. The chap playing John Lennon apparently nailed what the late, great Lennon was like when he was drunk (ie: he was a dick), and the guy that plays Jimbo Morrison gets across that the Lizard King was mostly a happy tippler (according to Kaylan on the commentary track), not the charmless chap portrayed in Oliver Stone's movie.
Justin Henry, playing Howard Kaylan, is very good, too. It makes me feel very old when I realize that he played the precious sprog in Kramer VS Kramer way back in 1979 :witsend:
#236 Re: Square Eyes » In Praise of Chris's Colleagues » 31 Jul 09 :: 08:22
Pics from last night's Taking Woodstock premiere in NYC. Featuring Chris co-stars, Dan Fogler, Emile Hirsch & Sebastian Stan. Also featuring the magnificent Demetri Martin. And Michael Shannon, who's playing Kim Fowley in The Runaways...
I dunno why, but I've never really gotten "into" Demetri Martin, but we will more than likely be seeing Taking Woodstock. It looks neat.
Dakota Fanning is far prettier than Cherie Currie ever was. Elle Fanning is a damned fine actor (see Phoebe in Wonderland, its astonishing).

on the subject of " once and again ", i loved it. i was so sad when it ended. but excuse my ignorance but what do you mean by this " shows about actual, recognizable people". what people????
I mean that the people on those shows were like people that I know.

Maybe we saw different versions of the movie, but the one that I saw DID mention that Eli was a hermaphrodite.

This is one that I watched quite a while ago now, but its great.
The story of a young vampire and her friendship with a bullied boy.
Don't watch the dubbed version, though.
#241 Re: Off Topic Stuff » "other" boards » 28 Jul 09 :: 04:45
Just curious .... How do board punters feel about "Once and Again," and "Relativity," which were both telly shows about actual, recognizable people. I miss 'em both, and watched a few episodes of "Relativity" that I had recorded earlier this year, right before my VCR gave up the ghost.

Thank you, Deb. I feel all manly now 
#243 Re: Off Topic Stuff » "other" boards » 28 Jul 09 :: 03:43
Just curious, why I am called a Fangirl ? Last I looked, I was a dude.
#244 Re: Off Topic Stuff » "other" boards » 28 Jul 09 :: 00:07
Yeah, they do. Wait until you pick up a stalker or two that message you privately with more disgusting bile than you've ever heard in you life. Or you have psychos chasing you from board to board floating lies and giving out personal info about you...
I am hoping that nobody will do that to me
#245 Re: Off Topic Stuff » Sarah Palin ? » 27 Jul 09 :: 22:00
You guys really need to explain that sexy bit because I can't for the life of me figure it out. Eewwwwww!
I find ladies wearing glasses very sexy. Maybe its just that I lust after Tina Fey, and her imitation of SP has me cornfused.
#246 Re: Off Topic Stuff » Sarah Palin ? » 27 Jul 09 :: 17:45
WGN this morning took a poll to see if viewers would vote for her.
30% Yes
70% NoDid we ever find out what really happened to all of those clothes that were bought for her and her failed campaign?
Didn't she pay the money back ?
I find Palin oddly sexy, but as far as being "on the ball," she is perilously close to being a Chauncey Gardener.

I post to a lot of boards, most of which have the "PM" facility that allows posters to send personal messages to one another. Well, the other day, I left an explicitly anti-Republican joke/message on the boards, and got a "PM" from a chap that was, in a word, hateful. Some people need to get a sense of humour :clueless:

I just wish that she would go away. I've heard snippets of her "farewell" speech, and she sounds as dim as ever.
Sadly, I think that she will be around for some time to come.
#249 Re: Square Eyes » Sequels, Prequels, Reboots, Adapatations » 27 Jul 09 :: 17:00
I will usually see anything that Jeff Bridges is in. He is bizarrely under-rated.
#250 Re: Square Eyes » Phoebe in Wonderland » 27 Jul 09 :: 16:36
Yeah, I really wanna see that one. Here's a case where, like Rick said, I wouldn't know anything about the movie if Leonard Maltin hadn't plugged it on his Secret's Out show on Reelz.
I had never heard of the movie, either, and also got the "recommendation" from Leonard Maltin.
I feel now that I owe Leonard a drink or something, because Phoebe in Wonderland was stunning.
Elle Fanning is absurdly good in the movie. She deserved an Oscar !
