If I don't get to a free showing, I won't be seeing 2012 until it gets to On Demand. But, I love my John Cusack. . .

It could account for most of them, though. And the ones that can't be blamed on cold and booze? Duh. Eskimos. Zombie Eskimos.

Total. Crappy. Phase. It’s about to break out of “phase” and become an “era” or an “epoch”.

of course they blame it on cold and booze. that can't account for all of the cases though.
same way a fake medical journal doesn't mean that all the things in the movie didn't happen. the character could be a composite.

Oh, I love The Fifth Element! One of the few movies in which I liked not only Milla but Bruce Willis as well.

Am I becoming too picky about my entertainment, or is the Hollywood output just going through a crappy phase?

I'm totally with you on Twilight. I watched the movie once when it came out on DVD to humor a friend (so very painful), but haven't been the slightest bit interested in the books. It makes me very sad that Bella is becoming a role model for a generation of girls. I had Leia and Ripley and Sarah Connor and the women of dozens of sci-fi shows. Today's girls are getting a fricking damsel that would've made the Bronte sisters sad and ditzy bitches. Why, tv gods, why?

Then again, none of the other November movies are all that appealing to me either. I haven't liked a Roland Emmerich movie since ID4, and there is no way I'll be paying money to see 2012, which really should just be called The Day After The Day After Tomorrow, since that seems to be what they're going for on the disaster movie scale. (Also, I'm pretty sure the USS JFK is falling onto the White House from the northwest side, i.e. inland rather than Chesapeake Bay. I can only suspend my disbelief so far.)

The true stories that inspired "The Fourth Kind" appear to only have been heard by the producers of "The Fourth Kind". The therapist played by Milla Jovovich is only mentioned in a fake online medical journal that appeared a month ago. And this handy article supposes that most disappearances in the Alaskan town where the movie is set have been explainable by alcohol and bone-crunching cold: http://www.newsminer.com/weblogs/dermot-cole/2009…

So there you go.

In other news, I wish Milla Jovovich would get better work. Remember how good she was in "The Fifth Element"?
