Oh you guys. I got it two nights ago and no one wanted to watch it with me so I saw it alone last night, peeking out of my hoodie more than half the time because Demi Moore was SO BAD. I felt so bad for those guys for being in the movie with her. Yes, they were ridiculously attractive (though there must have been a sexier way to turn around in a bathtub than that, right?) but nothing could save this. Wow.

My sick confession is that his Captain Knauer in the crappy remake of "The Longest Yard" had me cheering for the guards to win the game. And made me rewatch the movie.

I LOVE me the Ficht. Anybody mention "Black Hawk Down"? I thought I was the only one!

For all of you who think Stellan SkarsgÃ¥rd is Teh Hawt, immediately Netflix/buy/steal the original Insomnia (if you haven't already). He is just yumminess on a platter. Plus it's a very good (if a tiny bit slow) movie. (I've seen some really bad movies due to my crushes, so I can never say anything bad about other people. Such as Lawnmower Man II and Dead Fire. Gah.)

I used to work at the school where Bill sent his kid and would see him at occasional drop-off/pick-up times. He is en fuego. You are correct.

Thank you, thank you, thank you – finally, I know I am not alone in sticking with Prison Break. It's only for the pretty and the Blue Steel looks; it's not for the writing, that's for damn sure.

@Jaybird…. "I don't think Moore convincingly portrays a woman in real life."

So THAT'S what bothers me about Demi Moore!!!

Sars: I'm totally on board with the Fichtner adoration. I've had a crush on him since he played Rod Landry on As The World Turns way back when. He is so charasmatic that I fell in love with him even though Rod Landry raped his cousin and got her pregnant. Of course, once the show realized that they'd hired an actor who was so magnetic AND could act they wrote a whole redemption arc for him. Don't know what IT is, but Fichtner's definitely got it. Off to Netflix to add Passion of Mind to my queue.

This sounds an awful lot like a retread of "Julia and Julia" with Kathleen Turner and Sting. Except that (SPOILER AS IF YOU CARE WHICH YOU PROBABLY WON'T BUT STILL)

Sting gets stabbed to death in that one.

Both Skarsgaard and Fichtner leave me cold, as does Moore, but for different reasons. I don't think Moore convincingly portrays a woman in real life.
