"A Night at the Museum" is 108 minutes but felt much longer. I thought they could cut about 45 minutes, but that would leave it a very short film. I am tired of Ben Stiller doing his Ben Stiller schtick, and he does it non-stop in this film. It felt as though much of the dialogue was ad libbed by just about everyone.

It's too bad. The premise is wonderful and well executed. It's great fun to watch everything in the musuem run amok. But it just isn't enough, and so Ben Stiller runs amok to flesh it out.

Though there are many enjoyable moments, there's just not enough for the movie to sustain itself.

The kids in the theater seemed to like it.

Is your favorite of the incarnations. My favorite one was from Gateways. I believe her name was Anya and the dog, the best by far in the series, was Oyv. She was a riot and so was the dog.

Everytime i remember her for some truly strange reason i relive my favorite moments from Legacies with Abe making fun of the name of the group, occasionally i even thumb through it to get a chuckle or a good laugh.

Merry Christmas to all........... In retrospect I'd like to bring up Jack's Christmas Eve in Infernal, a memorable moment in RJ history. With that said we'd like to wish all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR from the Tooleman Family.

Next year, a lot of movies are waiting for us. Or we're waiting for a lot of movies...? SpiderMan 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, new Harry Potter movie, etc....

Well, mostly, those movies are sequels or remakes. But this "Grindhouse" is original movies by two great directors.

I just checked the trailer, and it blew me away. "Wow! This is.....too cool!"
Watch the world trailer premiere for 'GRINDHOUSE,' the horror double feature from directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. I can't wait for it until next April!

Naveen Andrews fan must see this!

I'm not sure how (or what) they are, but I have a theory... I think maybe the represent the earth, like Mother Nature incarnate type women. Think about it, they keep stuff like, 'I'm your mother, I'm everyone's mother." And they seem more concerned about the fate of the planet rather than the outcome of the "war" that's going on between the two main forces battling for the entire galaxy (it's been mentioned that earth itself is only like a "crumb" of the pie they're battling it out for control of.


(spoilers for Haunted Air)





















I tell you, though, you just GOTTA love those people who show up only to give you vague-ass warnings about upcoming danger. Recall in THA Jack and Gia are about the to enter the house when one of them appears and says (and I'm paraphrasing here), "Don't go in there!" And they're like, "Why not?" and she basically replies, "Something bad will happen."

Oh wow, real specific there.

I mean, why didn't she just say, "Because the house is haunted by a little girl who wants to take your girlfriend's baby for her own." That would have taken what, all of three seconds?

I guess the only explanation I can think of is she didn't know exactly what lurked in the house, only that it was something bad.

So, be wary of old ladies with dogs!

Does anyone know when the paperback version of HARBRINGERS will be out?

Just wanted to say thanks for writing such great Christmas gifts FPW!


No better way to spend 30 bucks.

Loving it so far

Saw Night at the Museum yesterday, and one of the previews was Rise of the Silver Surfer. Holy gods!

That's all I can say right now, and I never saw the first one. I am too big a fan of the FF4 to have spent time wasting it on the first one. But this one? Don't know, but the trailer is up there with Miller's "300."

I saw the Broadway play, "The Vertical Hour" last night, starring Julianne Moore and Bill Nighy. Moore was atrocious and Nighy stole the show. He was absolutely magnificent and a joy to watch.

Nighy was in "Love Actually;" he played the hilarious aging rock star undergoing a possible come back. He was also Davy Jones in the second "Pirates of the Caribbean," but who knew it was he under all that octopus makeup?

At any rate, I was stunned by how bad Moore was from the moment she opened her mouth. One of the hallmarks of great stage acting is the ability to fully inhabit your body. Moore seemed unaware that she had more on stage than just her talking head.

Nighy, on the other hand, fully projected his character from head to toe. Even when another actor had a monologue, Nighy listened actively and was so much more interesting to watch than anyone else on stage The actor who plays his son did give Nighy a run for his money, though.

Moore needs to stick to movies with heroines on the edge of a breakdown. She came to life just briefly on stage when her character faced down some demons.

We had 3rd row seats, and while we were way over on the right, it just so happened that Nighy played a good portion of the show from that spot. How lucky was I.

Hi Community!

I have a question to you. One of my collegues at work made me a present: "Deep As The Marrow" (Wow, she is very attentive that she noticed I like reading Pauls books! haven't expected that! Yeah!)

Now my question: I haven't found this book on http://www.repairmanjack.com so, what is the book like? Not story but, it is in a circle or something? Or can I just read it with out knowing some other books?!

Greets and thanks,

Jamo
