    I knew a girl from Georgia (the country not US state) who saw it with friends. Afterward the conversation went like this. "I am amazed they got someone from Southern Georgia to do the part. Normally you have some actor doing a bad Russian accent trying to sound Russian and screwing up everything. "He's a US actor." "No he isn't! I could probably tell you the town he's from. I am pretty sure it is (insert name I could not pronounce let alone spell here)." "When we get to the dorms you can look him up on IMDB." They then showed her 5th Element, Lost in Space, and the Professional. I think they broke her.

    If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

    Hahaha... Gotta love that... The guy's my favorite actor, and I never even realized he was the one playing Gordon in the new Batman movies until I checked the credits.

    Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

      I think that's the only movie I've ever seen where Tom Cruise didn't just play himself. Possibly his best role yet.

      I think Tom Cruise was acting like Ludacris (the big hands, the song at the end, etc). Matthew McGonnadas was funny too, but RDjr was really awesome (the part where he have a existential crisis, and takes off all the make-up, is GREAT)

      Oh yeah, that was the best scene in the movie... "I'm not Neil Armstrong... And I'm not Father Mackanerny... I think... I think I might be nobody."

        I was impressed with his chinese accent (being chinese descent myself). Followed up by the "[What do I farm?]...I'm a lead farmer mofo!"

          Best part of all this, he has a Bacon # of 1. :) Witness for the Prosecution or something like that with him and Christian Slater if I remember correctly.

            Haha... Yeah, that movie would have been complete crap without him. (As it stands, it was only semi-complete crap - Hey, the man can only do so much)

              dangit. Now I just came up with this rather than writing documentation:

              Public Enum Character
                  Batman
                  Doom
              End Enum
              
              Public Function WhoWins(ByVal Winner As Character) As Character
                  Dim objWinner As Character
                  Dim objActualWinner As Character
                  If Winner = Character.Batman Then
                      objActualWinner = Character.Doom
                  Else
                      objActualWinner = Character.Batman
                  End If
                  objWinner = WhoWins(objActualWinner)
                  Return objWinner
              End Function
              

              My brain is weird

                    The Critic was before its time. Had they done it 5 years later it would have been a hit.

                          Ah, better. I could sorta read the first. This still hurts my brain... but I can read it better. This is like the buttered toast on a cat's back thing.

                            I think Family Guy learned a lot from that show though. Timing, lightning fast parodies, mocking the right celebs, it was all just waiting for someone to refine it.

                              Given a good runup, I could probably do it in java for you too :D Apparently someone did try to get a grant to do the buttered toast thing. Even though that fell through, they still tried it. It then failed due to not seperating the cats from the bread and butter supplies.

                                Family Guy annoys me, though... Too many pointless flashbacks with stupid gags... It's like Cartman says in the Cartoon Wars episodes of South Park...

                                  Given a good runup, I could probably do it in java for you too :D Apparently someone did try to get a grant to do the buttered toast thing. Even though that fell through, they still tried it. It then failed due to not seperating the cats from the bread and butter supplies.

                                  Cats are so devious they make sure to maintain the mystery of their powers by eating anything that might be able to experiment on these powers. I swear, if they had opposible thumbs, they would own us.

                                  If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

                                      One of our cats can do this too. If he hears me in the basment messing with the cat food he will suddenly be in front of me trying to trip me...

                                          Mmm I love aspergers lightly grilled with olive oil and then sprinkled with a bit of Parmigiano-Reggiano. I also love Brussels sprouts! :)
