...twitter fame hasn't brought me money, jobs or naked twit pics from fans. Being the 180th most popular person on twitter is less powerful than being on an episode of E!'s 101 Hottest Hotties of Hotliwood for three seconds. In fact, the only effect it has had, is that my friends on twitter ask me to tweet about them. Which is the writing equivalent of yelling encouragement to people while they masturbate...
...refreshing to see someone use it in a lighthearted way and play with people’s passion for him. Shaq often offers tickets to the first person who can find him in a particular location—“tag me and say yur twit u hv 20 min.” Both punny and generous? You are too kind, Shaq. Then again, maybe I am fascinated with Shaq’s Twitter because it offers a glimpse into the daily affairs of a “celebrity.” But I’m not sure...
...dialogue is more overheard than consciously crafted. But the result is a mess. Kym, in Hathaway's unsympathetic performance, is an annoyingly sour observer of the proceedings, a time bomb everyone hopes will not explode before the marriage is completed. Her father, played by Bill Irwin, is a pious twit, sublimely unaware of how thin and weak his family's values are when put even to the mild test this wedding's kerfuffle presents. It is nice to see Debra Winger as his ex-wife - she's been away from the movies too long - but she mostly lurks...
...symbol of unconventionality, as little girls go trick-or-treating in lower-budget versions of it. McAvoy is a wonderful leading man and Catherine O’Hara is perfect as an overbearing mom. Another actor, Simon Woods, pops off the screen as Edward, an utterly repulsive upper-class twit. Ricci does a terrific job looking cute—in fact, too cute. First-time director Mark Palansky played it safe with the nose: instead of misshapen, Penelope looks lovable. This makes scenes of would-be suitors jumping out the window and Edward’s tales of a horrendous...
...book represents a challenge to mortality, an attempt to take something of oneself and give it a life outside one's foredoomed body, and this is, perhaps, the most heroic such effort ever made. As a writer, I admire it greatly. Without wanting to sound like a pompous twit, I think it's the only worthwhile reason to do what we do. As a moviegoer I'm less certain about the movie's effectiveness. Schnabel has an alert, imaginative and unsentimental cinematic eye. He does everything he can to involve us in Jean-Do's struggle against stasis, which...
