Alex Pettyfer is only 19 but he looks 35 in that picture. Good lord.

Maleficent movie? Somebody's a big "Wicked" fan.

The my fair lady remake is being written by Emma Thompson. It's set to have Kira Knightly as Eliza. I'm thrilled with the writer but, I HATE Kira Knightly.

I can tell, since you didn't bother to get her name right.

She was very good in Bend It Like Beckham.

"She was very good in Bend It Like Beckham."

But after that....

I've heard of damning with faint praise, but this has got to be a new variation.

I thought the "My Fair Lady" remake was already greenlighted. The only way I'll probably see it though is if they cast Hugh Laurie as Henry Higgins...

And Jim, giving Audrey Hepburn the role in the original movie was not an oversight. True she might've not originated the role, but she redefined it as her own. And she deserved the Academy Award. I like Julie Andrews and I like Mary Poppins, but Eliza Doolittle was a much harder character to play. They only gave the Oscar to Andrews to stick it to Hepburn. Jerks...
