Well, Lion King is kind of a cheat. It wasn't shown in a conventional theater. It was opened in Central Park! Hardly counts and I don't think a stunt like that should.

Thank-you. I was wondering why it was so obscenely high.

I think when you're not interested in a film, the level of hype can easily be annoying. Especially on the "Goldderby spin-off site" where it it seems everyone posting reviews has an agenda about the film (well, maybe only one person, but you know what/who I mean). It's interesting, though...

Oz, geez, those old people must be like over 40 to have been around in 1963. Maybe they'll all have heart attacks and die before the movie opens, they're so freakin' old. Ummm. I guess I should've been clearer. I was referring to the time period depicted in Good Night and Good Luck , and I should'v...

I'm praying that my local independent theater is the one that gets it. The audiences there rock and seeing the trailer (in front of Good Night and Good Luck ) was fine, even if the audience was full of older people (there was about 70 people and two thirds were probably around during the time depic...

The UK Independent is reporting that chemical weapons were used in Iraq, and has been confirmed by the army (white phosphorus in particular). I don't know if this has been widely reported.

A truly fascinating article -- GEOPOLITICAL INTELLIGENCE REPORT 10.17.2005 The Importance of the Plame Affair By George Friedman There are three rules concerning political scandal in the United States.

Here's a link to an article published in 1991 about the Cult Scientology. I'm not sure if it's as pervasive now as it was before, but it's pretty insane.

Katie Holmes' is appearing dumber by the day.

This is why you don't fire Pat Kingsley.

Completely agree, Sabin.

I watched it with two hardcore engineering physics students, and we spent the next three hours discussing it. And when it came out on DVD, we snapped it up and watched it again. I gave it ***1/2 stars, but it holds up after repeat viewings.

Holmes Dropped from 'Batman' Sequel Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman have signed to star in a second Batman movie, but love interest Katie Holmes has been dropped. Movie bosses are thrilled with the response to Batman Begins - it took $46.9 million in its first weekend at the US box...

Cruise "Tried To Convert Johansson" Scarlett Johansson pulled out of appearing in the second Mission: Impossible sequel after Tom Cruise tried to convert her to scientology, according to reports. Cruise, who produces the action adventures, met with Johansson ahead of casting for the upcom...

Katie Holmes Converting to Scientology 49 minutes ago LONDON - Katie Holmes says she's embracing Scientology, the religion of her boyfriend, Tom Cruise. Holmes, in London to promote her new film, "Batman Begins," was asked if she is taking lessons in the Church of Scientology, a religion ...

I dunno - out of the nominees, I thought Kidman was the best (re: The Hours).

As for which stars can open a movie - I'd argue that I think that's a fairly ridiculous standard to measure a movie star, especially given the seachange in how movies are made and marketed.

I've gotta say, wasn't expecting Peyton Place so low. Awesome list, Penelope.

Or, you could just choose the weaker category to put them in.
