A few years ago I briefly dated Ainsley Hayes' real-life counterpart. So as cool a character as she may be, I can't quite like her.

I also worked for a while for the guy Leo's character was based on. He was much cooler.

Yes, because I'm secretly Ronald Reagan and I've been dead for six years.

No, and from what I hear, it's a lucky thing.

I can tell you this much, though: When Senator Barack Obama runs over your foot on the concourse at Reagan with his wheely carryon, he's very apologetic about it.

I watched it again last night with the missus, but Im going to suggest Heat again.  Im really getting more and more into Michael Mann the older I get and this movie ages very well.

TROPIC THUNDER spoilers....

I liked most of TROPIC THUNDER. It crossed a line for me, tonally, when Ben Stiller spent five minutes playing with a severed head. The director's sudden and violent death toed the line to begin with, but when that scene just kept going it went all the way over to disturbing and became impossible for me to find funny. In fact the longer it went on and the more time we spent dwelling on the fact that this guy was really and abruptly dead, I actually found it more and more upsetting.

But cut that scene out, or maybe shorten it to just the first gag, and I think I could say I love the flick.

+1 for Casper and hey why not, for Tropic Thunder too. I was actually really surprised by it, in a good way.

It was exactly one minute, which was about fifty-eight seconds too long.
