Dench: What you long for is doing something that's very different from the last thing you played. Because people's tendency is to see you in something and send you a script, saying "Here's a very good part." And you find it's something terribly similar...
...fourth Mad Max film, in part because of the war in Iraq, his next project would be an animated penguin musical, to be made in Australia with a production house relatively new to the game, Pixar must have rubbed its hands with glee. Reading the Happy Feet script for the first time, Szubanski became as fluttery as Esme Cordelia Hoggett, her farmer's wife from Babe: "You're going, Man, it's a frickin' huge gamble. But by crikey, if he pulls it off it will be brilliant...
...surprise that the Iraqi government wasn't inclined to follow a U.S. script in dispatching Saddam, because it hasn't been inclined to follow a U.S. script on the fundamental questions of national unity - reconciling with the Sunnis, making concessions to the insurgents to draw former Baathists back into the fold, and most importantly, reining in the Shi'ite death squads.

Little wonder that Warne's early teammates nicknamed him Hollywood. He is, noted cricket writer Peter Roebuck recently, "an unusual blend of immaturity...
...clear that nothing spectacular happened at Marshall. It took "The Thundering Herd" something like a decade before they consistently won more games than they lost in a season. Nobody became a famous coach or gridiron immortal in the wake of the tragedy the team endured. The film's script (by Jamie Linden) makes it clear that a few people never did buy into Lengyel's gung-ho ways, and the director (McG), for the most part keeps the rah-rah spirit in decent check. This is a nicely muted comeback story - definitely not Rocky Balboa in shoulder pads...
