Oh, here she is.
Let it never be said that, as an actress, she isn’t flexible…
Year: 2006 (Page 120 of 228)
Based on Sunday’s estimates:
1) X-Men: The Last Stand: $120 million (first week)
In four short days, the third “X-Men” movie has already made more money than the third “Mission: Impossible” movie. Have fun spinning that nugget, Paramount.
2) The Da Vinci Code: $43 million ($145.4 million, second week)
Only three or four more weeks until we never have to write or think about this movie again.
3) Over the Hedge: $35.3 million ($84.3 million, second week)
“Da Vinci” fell off 44% this week. “Hedge” fell off 8%. Word of mouth: it’s the new/old way to market movies.
4) Mission: Impossible III: $8.5 million ($115.8 million, fourth week)
Should there be a fourth installment, Tom Cruise has commissioned a script about a “mutant” spy with a terrible, terrible secret. Some have called it the part Cruise was born to play.
5) Poseidon: $7 million ($46.6 million, third week)
At last, we are no longer bound to come up with another “RV” joke, which would have made us even with the number of jokes contained in the movie itself.
…we accept the fact that you had to sacrifice any semblance of academic credibility when you were played by Paul Gleason in “The Breakfast Club.” But we think you’re crazy if you think that people won’t be sad when they hear that Mr. Gleason died of lung cancer on Saturday at the age of 67. We’ll mourn him as we want to mourn him…in his most memorable roles, from his most popular movies.
As Clarence Beeks in “Trading Places.”
As Deputy Police Chief Dwayne T. Robinson in “Die Hard.”
As Wayne Hisler in “Johnny Be Good.”
As Professor Ted McDoogle in “Van Wilder.”
But most importantly, Principal Vernon, as you…in a movie still loved by teens – and former teens – everywhere. When he reprised the role in “Not Another Teen Movie,” he was the best thing in that flick.
Does that answer your question?
Sincerely,
The Fans of “The Breakfast Club”
P.S. Rest in peace, Paul Gleason.
While I’m thrilled that we’re getting a special edition of “A Fish Called Wanda” here in the States at long last, there’s simply no justice in the fact that, on the 25th anniversary of a groundbreaking work of cinema, a special “Silver Anniversary Edition” DVD is coming out in the UK…but not in the US.
The cinematic masterpiece I speak of is the tale of no less than the savior of the universe…
It includes two audio commentary tracks – one from director Mike Hodges, one from actor Brian Blessed (Prince Vultan), interviews, the original trailer and concept artwork, a photo slide show, Dolby Digital 5.1 & DTS sound, and even the first episode of the original 1940 “Flash Gordon” serial.
Will this be what finally sends me to buy a region-free DVD player…?
Anyone who’s attended an open mic night at their local comedy club can testify to the fact that just because you think you’re funny and you can make your friends laugh does not automatically mean that you’re a comedian. You’ve got to have good material, you’ve got to have a sense of timing, you’ve got to have a stage presence, and…well, actually, that’s pretty much the holy trinity. It might seem easy when you’re sitting in the cheap seats, but it’s a rare individual who can bring all three of those qualities up to the mic and use them to bring the house down. After all, as Peter O’Toole said in “My Favorite Year” (though lord knows he didn’t say it first), “Dying is easy; comedy is hard.”
We decided to create a Stand-Up Comics Hall of Fame to pay our respects to those comics who, in their careers, have made us laugh ‘til our sides hurt and then some. While there are some individuals whose inclusion is a given, with each induction into the Hall, we’re going to try and mix things up by throwing in a bit of a wild card. In some cases, it might be a more recent comedian; in other cases, it might be someone who wasn’t all that famous but who was nonetheless tremendously influential to those who followed in their footsteps. Rest assured, however, that anyone who makes it through these hallowed doors has unquestionably earned their place here, and if you doubt us, don’t worry: We’ll also provide recommendations of their best material for your listening and viewing pleasure.
The Inaugural Class:
Richard Pryor – “I went to Zimbabwe…and I know how white people feel in America now: relaxed! ‘Cause when I heard the police car, I knew they weren’t coming after me!”
Rodney Dangerfield – “Oh, this your wife, huh? A lovely lady. Hey baby, you must’ve been something before electricity.”
Bill Cosby – “My father established our relationship when I was seven years old. He looked at me and said, ‘You know, I brought you into this world, and I can take you out. And it don’t make no difference to me, I’ll make another one look just like you.’”
Lenny Bruce – “Take away the right to say fuck and you take away the right to say fuck the government.”
Bill Hicks – “George Bush says ‘we are losing the war on drugs.’ Well, you know what that implies? There’s a war going on…and people on drugs are winning it! Well, what does that tell you about drugs? Some smart, creative motherfuckers on that side.”
