Joe R, why do you hate this movie. Personally, I like it very much.

I saw Underworld based on the recommendation of someone I didn't know well enough (... clearly), and I swear I didn't realize until, like, a week ago that the Michael Sheen was even in it. Awesomepants Tony Blair from The Queen! Frost from Frost/Nixon. Is the Alpha. Lycan. Guy. I need to lie down. @Bloody Munchkin: I'm prepared to take your word for it, but "Harry Connick Jr.'s involvement in it" may, in fact, point out a bigger problem.

@ Sandman Re: (Do movies based on plays, even slightly lame ones, get some sort of arty premium maybe?)

Judging on Bug and Harry Connick Jr.'s involvement in it, I'ma say no. Nice try but no.

(Raises hand) Underworld, right over here. First time I remember ever seeing Speedman, too. I used up all my crushiness on Michael Sheen in that, though. Loyal AND housebroken! Here, boy! Walkies!

I'm seriously starting to wonder if I'm some kind of lowest-common-denominator in terms of Movie Audience.

Speedman sounds pretty mensch-y in that interview. I dunno, I think this one must rate pretty low on the embarrassment scale. (Do movies based on plays, even slightly lame ones, get some sort of arty premium maybe?) If your Speedman entry was Underworld, well, then we'd have to talk.

Bloody Munchkin: It was called The Heights, and it was based in Manhattan. I only watched it for my crush (Rufus Wainwright, *sigh*, who essentially played himself). And yes, hoooooot!

There's another movie out there (whose name is escaping me) with Glenn Close in which Marsden plays a closeted homosexual in a relationship with Elizabeth Banks (I think) But ends up with a very hot Jesse Bradford instead (wasn't it called Manhatten?, Dunno) But Hoooooot!

@Hum: You forgot to mention to bring the tissues. My Life Without Me is an emotional roller-coaster from beginning to end.

I didn't know this movie existed, but I do know it was done as a play several years ago in Los Angeles; Peter Berg played the Speedman role, and Noah Wyle played the Marsden role (so I guess it was also a "hospital show vs. hospital show" thing).

If you're a Speedman fan, rent My Life Without Me. He's not in it a lot, but he's really sweet (in a clueless guy kinda way) and he's always hot. It's one of my favorite movies because it has my other movie boyfriend, Mark Ruffalo, in it. Sarah Polley is really good too.
