Cinema Styles "I drink your milkshake" is going to have a long shelf life. This is one of the best true stories I've read.--> i09 Samuel L Jackson pics from the Spirit. Samuel L Jackson is in way too many franchises. Let me get this straight "The Octopus" is also "Shaft" is also "Nick Fury" is also an "xXx" Agent is also "Mace Windu"? TOO MUCH. Please stop.

Years from now when my daughter understands what a blog is I'll let her know how Nathanial R. helped make her a star.
She'll be completely embarrassed. I think I'll wait until she brings her first boyfriend or girlfriend over then break into it.
Thanks for the VCB link, Nat - the trailer for it can be found here:

It looks like Woody's taken a page from Pedro Almodovar's book of magical mojo. At least this time there's not a nebbishy Woody stand-in, although I have a feeling the male ego will play a much bigger role than it does in Almodovar's films.
I remember a critic writing years ago something to the effect that in most films, women are generally beside the point for the male characters, whilst for female characters men are central to their stories (even if not seen onscreen). I think Almodovar is one of the few filmmakers of which you can say the opposite.
