A little-known prophecy

[yendi]

And on the sixth day of the sixth month of the sixth year of the, um, second millennium, the Beast shall attack the world, not with violence or corruption, but with a crappy remake of a movie that sure as hell didn't need to be remade in the first place. Critics shall hate it, except, inexplicably, Ebert and Roeper, whose mystical "Two Thumbs Up" shall cause scores of people to be exposed to, and bored by, this travesty. Julia Styles shall prove once again that she's a better supporting actress than lead*. John Moore will continue to convince people that he's a hack. And in three days, everyone will forget about it, because, you know, Cars.

So it was written, and so it shall come to pass.


*Yes, the prophecy agrees that she's hot, but really, every lead she's had following Ten Things I Hate About You has blown, while supporting parts in the Bourne films and State and Main have been just fine.

Wow! The beast brought out a *movie* on the 6th of June 1006?!? =:oO

But it was supressed by the church for 60 years, and then then inspired the Norman invasion, right? =:o>

Thank you for making me laugh.

OK, so I get to pick one movie to go see for my birthday - X men, DaVinci Code, or the Omen (and I absolutely LOVED the original) so which should I see?

I'd go with X-Men. It's not the best of X-Men movies, but I enjoyed it.

Whoa...so Julia Stiles actually has something to do in the second Bourne film?

I agree with you when it comes to Julia Stiles, with one exception... The Prince & Me is a guilty pleasure of mine. I can probably blame that more on the wee bit of Danish blood in me from a paternal great-grandmother than Stiles' acting though.

Stiles, right?

This whole supporting part rule is true, however I still believe that Mona Lisa Smile is the exception. Exception that proves the rule, but exception nonetheless. Mona Lisa Smile should be banned off the face of cable and home video forever.
