You think she likes ellen?
- anna sauce
So is that the new thing for female Hollywood celebs? Flirt with Ellen? That's fine if they actually mean it, but if they're just doing it for the publicity...
- Jason Huebel
And I'm referring to the little serenade that Jennifer Anniston gave her the other day.
- Jason Huebel
How is flirting with Ellen any different than flirting with Letterman? It's all for business and publicity right? It's all silly show business in my opinion and gender or sexual orientation of the host doesn't really play into it I think. The fact that two women can flirt on daytime TV is pretty cool though.

Dont like Ellen but do have a soft spot for Jennifer Love Hewitt.
- Robert Bland
True enough, pea. I have no problem with two women flirting, but you have to admit that same-gender flirting adds an element of provocativeness to the act (not saying it should, mind you). So it just irks me a little that Hollywood exploits that fact. I disapprove of the context in which they're flirting, not the flirting itself.
- Jason Huebel
What's up with the cut of that dress? It looks like it's cut longer in the front like maternity wear...
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
@Jason, I suppose it does though we won't get to a point where two women flirting won't be provocotive until it's mainstream and, though we like to rail against it, celebrities often serve to make something mainstream just by the sheer fact that they can draw a crowd. I've always been an equal opportunity flirter so seeing Jennifer flirt with Ellen doesn't even make me blink. But I do...

at least the Planet remake had an awesome performance by Tim Roth. How in the world have I never seen B.A.P.S.? And why do I now have the urge to watch it? It's like when you have a loose tooth and you can't help but push on it even though it hurts...

Planet 51. I spent 22.25 plus popcorn to see this on Saturday. It sucked all kinds of donkey balls. Nothing but NOTHING worth anything in this movie. It flat out sucked. And I'm very kind to movies usually. I want my money back you shitty, predictable movie making jackasses!
- Morgan Haley
I didn't mind iRobot that much, it had Tudyk in it and I'm very good at compartmentalizing my feelings between movies and books. Morgan, I can't say that I'm surprised. I don't think they expected much out of it which is why they opened it opposite of New Moon. Johnson needs to quit doing kids movies.

Crash (2004) directed by Paul Haggis. It's retarded meditation on race relations for one dimensional people and an unapologetic rip off of much better films, yet since it was about racism in LA it became a media darling and won best picture, even though it wasn't even in the best HALF of movies in 2004.

Magnolia is a beautiful, beautiful film. It's one of the only movies I know that actually gets better every time you watch it. It's not for everyone though. Incidentally, Magnolia is one of the better films that Crash (above) totally ripped off. Heh

Jandy, yeah, that one.

We've come a long way since 2001: a Space Odyssey and no one has come even close... or really tried, in my opinion. 2010 would have been great if it wasn't...

OH MY GOD, I take it all back, every movie I said is forgiven so that I may punch directly in the face THE SIXTH SENSE. It's an hour and fourty five minutes that I thought was two hours and thirty minutes that felt like 3 and a half hours.

- Chieze Okoye
I knew eventually someone would bring up "Hulk" with Bana. Which I consider the better of the new I-Hulk movies. The new one was really bad and just a cliche comic-book film. Everything M. Night did after the first half of Signs is punchable.

When everyone called me Tricia, I didn't like my name. I prefer Trish. Nowadays I only hear my mom and brother call me Tricia, and I like it that way. They only say my full name when they're mad or exasperated or joking with me. FYI - I like Sarah. We named our firstborn Sarah and it is kind of hard to nickname her, so we use her middle name and call her Morgandorfer.
- Trish Haley
I like it a lot. It's unique enough to not have a dozen other people with it but common enough that people (usually) know how to say it.

I had a job programming a database in dBaseIV the summer of my junior year in high school. I got paid like $0.25/hr more than minimum wage. It was a good experience because it was my first real programming job and basically set the tone for the rest of my career. I was invited to come back the next summer and redo everything I'd done in FoxPro 3.5 for Windows (and got an extra $1/hr).

Yes. I started working a month after my 16th birthday. I worked at a daycare center, which was good because I got to have my sister with me there; otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get a job. I only made minimum wage, which at the atime was $3.25 I think? Hard to remember.

If you can call Gamestop a real job. I got it when I was 17. I did like it in the beginning but after about a year got tired of it because of the pay and lack of hours, so then I went to Best Buy. Made minimum in the beginning ($5.15 at the time) and got a $0.10 raise after the first of the year. I still filed taxes however and got back a nice amount of money.

- Jim Hearts FF
Yes, I worked for a summer at Knott's Berry Farm. I served food at one of the little eateries inside the park in Ghost Town. It was minimum wage and fun then but as an adult now, looking back, there were some MAJOR issues ranging from inappropriate male conduct (getting girls into the freezer to kiss them, smacking them on the asses) to theft and an overall lack of care for the employees. We were kids being managed by kids.

I worked a commission sales job from 16-18. I got paid $11.75 and a % of my sales. I'm also pretty sure the company violated some teen labor laws in terms of hours per day/hours per week...but I didn't complain because it was a lot of $.

They paid the same for kids and adults, which meant about $120 a day! Our credits include 'Scarecrow & Mrs. King', 'Emerald Point N.A.S.', 'The Bad Seed (TV)', 'Explorers' and 'Airwolf'.

Camp counselor between high school and college. I turned 18 at the end of the summer. I made enough to buy a pair of dressy shoes, some clothes, and a purse, I think. (ETA: my Social Security report says I made $177 for 3 months' work, but then it was 1963).

I worked at Discovery Zone (a giant kids playground) and an optometric group while under 18. I liked both of them but the optometric group much more (stayed there for 11 years). The job at DZ I was paid $0.25 more than minimum wage and the optometric group started at $0.50 more than minimum wage

I worked as a groom / stablehand at a thoroughbred farm every summer and every weekend from my sophomore through senior year in high-school. I was paid more than minimum wage, but not sure how much more. It was a good job that kept me active, fit and better paid than most of the kids I went to school with. However, it was outdoors (Florida summers are killer) and I definitely did not smell the best afterwards. Kept me humble though...

I worked as a page at the local library throughout high school. It was a great job. I think I got a bit more than minimum wage but the hours were flexible, the work was easy, and the people were really nice. Plus I got to check anything out I wanted for pretty much as long as I wanted. Most days I would finish all the work and just sit around and read

When I 16, a week after finishing my GCSEs, I did a week of work for the guy my brother worked for. When I mentioned money, he said: "Don't worry, I'll see you right." At the end of the week he paid me £50 for 40 hours work. I didn't work for him again!

I had my first job when I was 14, grounds keeping and maintenance during the summer at a vocational high school. It was on the books, minimum wage, transportation provided. Got the job through CETA. Didn't have to pay taxes because we were low income. (one of the qualifications to get the job) Half the kids that were working there were unpaid, juvenile delinquents, doing community service.
- April Russo (app103)
I started work at a rollerskating rink on my 15th birthday. I was a Centre Assistant. Taking money at the door, handing out and putting away skates, working the snack bar, teaching, hosting birthday parties, cleaning, making people stop making out (bwahahahaha!), etc etc. We don't have minimum wage here, we have award wages, and if you're under 18 you don't have to fill in a tax return unless you earn over $6000 in the financial year.

I think I was 15 at the time. I also worked full-time the summer before I graduated high school (I was 16 at the time) and part-time during school. I continued at that job off and on for about 12 years.

I was an estimator at a paving company. I took blueprints of a job site, traced contour lines into a computer, then calculated the volume of different materials we would need to do the job. Paid $9.25 an hour, in 1999. Had my own office, a computer, and a plotter (a printer big enough to print blueprints). It was awesome.

All of my jobs required income tax reporting; I loved filing my taxes, BTW. Not sure why, but ever since that first 1040EZ at 14, I was hooked. :)

First job of any kind was a paper route at the age of 13. I soon quit that, because I've always hated early mornings, and I got a job after school at a greengrocers. I had a bike with a big basket on to ride around the neighborhood delivering the orders. I always earned my tips that wages. Never had to file taxes in England with only one job in any case, but that was cash in hand anyways, NO minimum wage then, and doesn't apply to under sixteens even now as far as I am aware.

As in the baby talk from Elmo annoys her and she doesn't understand why he isn't speaking at the same level as her.

"This is our version of a popular Japanese snack. Trader Joe’s Sesame Seaweed Rice Balls are crunchy puffed rice, shaped like balls (hence the name) that are given a savory zing using a popular Japanese seasoning known as furikake (fu-rih-kah-kay). Furikake is made from sesame seeds, chopped dried seaweed, a little bit of salt and a touch of sugar. If your mouth waters for umami tastes, then you’ll enjoy our Rice Balls. These crispy, salty, savory balls of deliciousness are $1.49 for a 5 oz. bag."

- Admiral Anika
The knights getting roasted by French castle guards in Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- Alex Scoble
Fred - good scene with Peter Boyle and Gene Hackman. I forgot how many good scenes Young Frankenstein has. (What Knockers!)
- Mike Nencetti
Or the scene in Bruce Almighty where Jim Carrey's character forces Steve Carrell's newscaster character to talk gibberish.
- Fred Yankowski
The underwater bar fight scene from Top Secret was hysterical, too. The part of Princess Bride inside Miracle Max's house was funny (of course, most of that movie was).
- Curtiss Grymala
Haha, Morgan. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Ah just remember another one: The Princess Bride - how could I forget that! :-) EDIT: Curtis, just seen your mention, doh. :-)

- Kol Tregaskes
I don't think I can narrow this down. There are so many that come to mind. "I can speak jive" from Airplane. "The Holy Handgrenade" Sequence from The Holy Grail. The whole Dom Deluise sequence from Blazing Saddles.

How can a blind man be a lookout?" Chief Inspector Dreyfus: "How can an idiot be a policeman? Answer me that!" Inspector Clouseau: "Well, that is very simple. All he has to do is enlist." *tears* Pink Panther FTMFW.

<3 Top Secret! Funniest scene: when the scientist dug a hole in his cell to escape ..... (I don't want to spoil it)
- LouCypher
I've always been a Mel Brooks fan, and Young Frankenstein is definitely one of my favorites....with many hysterical scenes.....but I always loved the original Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers too. Not the remakes with Steve Martin. And, yes Kol, you have to watch Blazing Saddles....definitely my hubbies favorite movie!
- Bonnie Foster
Airplane gets my vote. Young Frankenstein, Vacation, Caddyshack and Blazing Saddles round out my top five.

Many parts of The Blues Brothers, and the part in Friday that's a flashback in black and white and I think Deebo knocks out somebody, and Smokey runs up and the camera shows him from the perspective of the guy who got knocked out, and Smokey exclaims, "You just got knocked the Fuck Out!"

This is awesome news and even more so for martial artists living in Arizona. Our dojo is currently growing at a crazy pace and will probably kick into a higher gear now. :) :)

Very cool. I hope it is an independent school. I moved away from the McDojo's as they were such scams.
- Spencer
@Spencer - Aikdo dojos are rarely "McDojos" because we don't have tournaments and such that attract people who just want to be a blackbelt in something. If you want to be a blackbelt in Aikido it takes many years of training (I'm brown belt and it's been about 5 years... I figure it will be another almost 2 till I can test for black). Aikido dojos are also typically not big money-makers and the focus is on community in the dojo, so it's not commercialized like a lot of other martial arts.
- Lindsay
That's good. TKD has become overrun with them.
- Spencer
I feel pretty lucky to have had the opportunity to train with Sensei for as long as I have! It's a promotion well-deserved.
- Lindsay
That said, there are plenty of traditional Japanese style karate schools which are excellent and not scams. The major problem are parents who want to give their children black belts for self esteem, etc. The kids in our program can never get a black belt, but they get plenty of self esteem because they know that if they're attacked they can kick ass.

Cool. I remember when Brooks Sensei trained at the Midwest Aikido Center in Chicago, back in the '80s under Akira Tohei Sensei.

They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations, and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good."

"The predictive power of an anxiety-prone temperament, such as it is, essentially works in just one direction: not by predicting what these children will become but by predicting what they will not. In the longitudinal studies of anxiety, all you can say with confidence is that the high-reactive infants will not grow up to be exuberant, outgoing, bubbly or bold."

What is your favourite type of cake or cakes?

Oddly got the question from the GameSpot UK podcast from yesterday. :-)

Poppyseed cake. My dad always loved poppyseed cake, and I have too as long as I can remember.
- Fred Yankowski
That's not so easy. For me it really depends on the season. Right now, with the start of fall, I'm really craving things like carrot cake and gingerbread cake. Sometimes I think nothing can beat a good basic devil's food cake with a vanilla buttercream frosting. Other times (like spring or summer), I want something light with lemon curd or coconut. I guess I love many cakes and my favorite a particular moment depends on my mood and the season.
- Katy S
The best cake of all is the next one :-)

Hehe, nice Slippy. :-)

I think that would have to be my family's Dentist's Nightmare Chocolate Cake

Have you ever disliked an actor enough to actively avoid films he/she is in? (I do with Richard "gerbil" Gere).. Who and why?

I've come to seriously dislike Rene Zellwiger; I still like some of her earlier films, but her mannerisms (which don't seem to change from film to film) drive me nuts. The only two I can stand are Empire Records and Chigago.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Carrot Top.
- Thomas Hawk
I have TONS of them: Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, Robin Williams, Rene Zellwiger (though I did watch Shark's Tale), Woody Allen, Meryl Streep, Scarlet Johannson, Tyler Perry. My list goes on, but this explains why I mostly watch foreign movies. LOL
- Admiral Anika
Julia Roberts (*fist bump Anika*), Sally Field, Matthew "I can't stand without assistance" Mcconaughey (except Dazed and Confused), Katherine Heigl.. probably more, but those are the first that pop into mind.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Steve Buscemi because he was that creepy, creepy guy in Con Air and ever since then, he is just too creepy to watch.
- Rochelle
tom cruise = annoying
- Neil Bernhart
Kevin Costner. He drives me up the wall and back again.
- Shannon Jiménez
Robin Williams, he's not funny, acts like a child 99% of the time and any movie he's in generally makes me want to vomit. I'd also say anything with Pauly Shore, but nobody would willingly watch anything of his, so he probably doesn't count.
- Ace
Costner's another one. I'd also like to add Any Rapper. With the exception of Friday and Any Given Sunday, rappers should just not ever act. Mos Def, I'm looking at you.
- Admiral Anika
Zac Effron. Becuase of High School Musical.....
- Roberto Bonini
My sister can not stand Will Farrell. Which amuses *me* because his movies totally fit in with her humor from when we were kids. She won't watch them.
- Admiral Anika
Jim Carey. I hate him.
- Trish R
*fistbump* Trish. The only movie I've seen of his is Dumb and Dumber.
- Admiral Anika
Megan Fox annoys the piss out of me these days. Can't stand Jim Carey either.
- Suburban Oblivion
Hugh Grant - That git and his cuter than cute English mannerisms seriously gets my back up!
- Paul OFlaherty
Larry the Cable Guy
- Rodfather
Renee Zellwegger. Because she's *squinty* and always looks like she just smelled a particularly stinky fart.
- cecily
Jim Carrey
- holly
Oh, and Tyler Perry, but there isn't enough room in this text box to explain why.
- cecily
Tom Cruise movies are painful due to his personal craziness.
- LogEx
Nicholas Cage. Except for Raising Arizona & Moonstruck, I'll pretty much avoid any movie he's in simply because he's in it.
- josh neff, geek at large
Angelina Jolie. Not sure why. Too plastic or something.
- Gus
For those who (think they) hate Jim Carrey, I'd suggest watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (with an open mind).
- LogEx
Yeah, Tom Cruise is about the biggest one for me.
- Alex Scoble
@The Swisher Sweet of FF What did Morpheous.. er .. Laurence Fishburn do? How was he rude?? Good story?
- Paul OFlaherty
tom cruise - he sucks
- William Harryman
Katie Holmes. If I do get stuck watching her, I usually make fun of her a lot. Oh and I have a lot who I avoid a certain genre with or I avoid their recent stuff. Like Jim Carey or Adam Sandler. I will watch them in something serious/drama or old stuff before they are know, but I avoid the more recent comedies where they are just playing the same annoying character in a different movie.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Jim Carrey and Will Ferrell although Carrey was brilliant in Eternal Sunshine. He desperately needs a director who will seriously reign him in but so rarely gets one.
- Jeff Jones
Hugh Grant. Rob Schneider.
- Fred Yankowski
Dane Cook. I'll walk out if he appears in a movie trailer.
- vicster
LogEx, totally agree with you there. When I saw Eternal Sunshine I realised that Carrey doesn't 'just do funny', completely changed my view of him.
- Charlotte M
could be nicholas cage. by the way, I think Tom Cruise was really great in Valkyrie.
- Halit Okumus
As critical as I am with my film habit, surpsingly the answer is no. I will however purposely try to avoid crappy filmmaking regardless who's in it.

Renee Zellwegger and Drew Barrymore, I just can't stand them. Renee I can never watch. Drew, sometimes, depending who's are the other stars.
- Alejandro
Wow. That seems like just about everyone.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
@Paul OFlaherty We were crossing over into Columbus Circle at the same time. I smiled at him and he gave me the dirtiest look I have yet to tolerate. I won't pay a cent to see a Laurence Fishburn movie.
- nakachi
Adam Sandler. Steve Carrell. Nicholas Cage. After a couple of viewings of their stuff, I just started to avoid them. Plenty of other good stuff out there.
- Rick Cogley
jamie lee curtis--> I really dont know why the aversion since she is great actress?
- anjelina
Alec Baldwin. Throw up just thinking about him.
- Deborah Fisher
Patrick Swayze. There, I said it. Deal.
- Kevin Pedraja
I have to agree with Pete. It's more about the filmaking than the actors. There are directors I won't watch but not actors.
- Jason Williams
from iPhone
Matthew McConaghey if only because he doesn't act, he's just "that guy." I'd love to cast him as the lead in Richard the Third. Just to see if he could do it.
- Greg
Arnold Schwarzenegger. (& please, don't say anything bad about Steve Buscemi, Rochelle; he was the 1st about-to-be-famous actors I shook hands with, just after he acted in his star role in 'In the Soup') (he was my hero) (my anti-hero, so to speak)(I still have to wash my right hand after all these years).

I found my first journo to follow: Charlie Brooker: http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile... writes abut tech and entertainment for the Guardian and was great on last's week's BBC Radio 1 Review Show: http://ff.im/8U14q. An example of one of his articles I enjoyed is here: http://ff.im/8TPA4
- Kol Tregaskes
I will agree with Charlie Brooker, it always feels as if he loathes the whole wide world with a vengeance, he is great for Monday mornings especially

Hehe, yeah but feel it's a bit comical at the same time. :-)
