Meanwhile, at Manolos Shoe Blog: Shoes, Fashion, Celebrity, and Manolo intrepid commenters note Karl Lagerfeld's eerie resemblance to Lee Marvin's evil silver-nosed gunslinger in that movie.

((deep, raspy Movie Guy voice)) In a world where evil trolls lie in wait, thirsting for blood, and cruel goblins lurk deep under the middle-Earth, a great treasure lies at the end of an arduous journey…guarded by… a dragon. They are not heroes… they are not mighty warriors. They are refugees on a quest to reclaim their golden birthright. But they've got a problem… thirteen of them. Bad luck. They're about to change their luck… by taking on one more traveler, who has no idea what fate awaits him… right after a wild, crazy, and quite unexpected party. Underground. Tom…

I was checking local movie listings just now, and spotted a potential Perfectly Dreadful Movie contendah. Anything I find bwah-worthy (possibly spit-takeworthy) will be in bold: Beerfest – Movie Details – Yahoo! Movies When American brothers Todd and Jan Wolfhouse travel to Germany to spread their grandfather’s ashes at Oktoberfest, they stumble upon a super-secret, centuries old, underground beer games competition–“Beerfest,” the secret Olympics of beer drinking. The brothers receive a less than warm welcome from their German cousins, the Von Wolfhausens (because evil German cousins are always the Von Somethings), who humiliate Todd and Jan, slander their…

David and I tried a couple of times to see Syriana – both times we weren’t able to get tickets and left rather than wait around for the next show. Then, we ended up missing it because it wasn’t playing the next time we felt like seeing a movie. I think we’ll end up renting it – we haven’t gotten into Netflix yet, so Blockbuster is fine for now.

There are some movies that you see once in the theaters and forget. There are other movies that you see once in the theaters, forget, and watch once more when it comes to cable. And then you forget it again. There’s a third class of movies that you saw multiple times in theaters, bought the DVDs, and yet you STILL watch them when they show up on cable – this latter class includes the Lord of the Rings movies, the Harry Potter movies, and so on. One other type of movie seen in first run is the kind where you…

I’m currently listening to Harry Shearer’s Le Show. David doesn’t care for this show, but like it when I happen to hear it. I was in the mood for a little political commentary, satire, and humor after just seeing “Good Night, and Good Luck.” As we left the theater tonight, I remarked that cigarette smoke was like another character in the movie. After checking the official website for the movie, I see that cigarette smoke is about the only thing moving on the splash screen after the intro. And now ::yawn:: good night. Good luck too, I suppose.

Highlander: The Source, envisioned as the first of three new films in the popular supernatural franchise, will shoot in Lithuania starting in October, according to an announcement by Davis-Panzer Productions, Sequence Films and Grosvenor Park. Brett Leonard (Lawnmower Man) will direct, with Adrian Paul playing the immortal Scottish swordsman Duncan MacLeod. Okay, I’m a Highlander fan. I own three (3) little tchotchkes shaped like the famous dragon-head katana: a necklace, a pen, and a rather cool if I do say so letter opener. I’ve blogged before about my HL fan-past. And the word among fans has been going around about…

Everybody has to start somewhere. The fact that the beginning will become the end makes it difficult to start; not sure why. But I need to make sense of things by getting them out there, and "out there" they shall be in more ways than three. Today's top story: Saddam to appear on the US version of "What Not To Wear." Before and after photos abound, and a disoriented and confused Saddam is told "Never wear a spider hole with that mustache – to balance out the bushiness, hie your heiney into a fully equipped underground missile silo." Tears ensue…
