...their local theater owners for more independent films, like Volver. After accepting a Globe for his NBC show 30 Rock, Alec Baldwin praised an indie he had no part of, Half Nelson, backstage. The only person to stand up for big-budget multiplex-seat-filling films was Ben Stiller, who plugged his blockbuster Christmas movie Night at the Museum. Thank God someone remembered what this night is all about...
...screen presence he actually possesses. His character is so poorly written and socially ignorant you almost want Thornton to sling blade him out of existence. Supporting roles from Sarah Silverman (“Jesus is Magic”), David Cross (“Arrested Development”) and Ben Stiller make a last-ditch attempt to garner some laughter but just can’t carry this uncreative vehicle.

Most times, when someone spouts off about how awful the Jews are, I blow it off as ignorance. If the guy just got to know us, he would totally dig us.

Given Uma-like superpowers or even Condi-like earthly powers, women would not, surely, choose to waste them on bringing numskulls who look like Ben Stiller up to I'm-prepared-to-be-seen-out-with-you standard.

Your image is of a guy who, despite being successful, doesn't try all that hard. Is that who you are? Maybe next to Ben [Stiller], I don't. I've done a lot of movies with him, and that became the shtick--Ben's the workaholic, Owen likes to keep things fresh by not reading the script until he shows up on set. But when I work on something, it's not like I phone it in or don't take it seriously...
