Nicole Kidman as Dusty Springfield?

Better her than Miss Lady Bunny.

Not quite sure who Miss Lady Bunny is, but for a posting anomaly, right now Gaz is at 8808 and I'm at 9909.

Iron Man rawks!  Very entertaining, Downey is quite wonderful, he totally makes the film worthwhile all by himself, tho' Paltrow is also very good. Saw it at AMC Van Ness in a half-full theater at a 1:45 show -- not sure if that bodes ill for the ultimate weekend gross or if AMC Van Ness is just losing market share to the Metreon/SF Centre combo. See it ASAP, and make sure you stay thru the end credits!

BTW, I was a complete pig at Ton Kiang -- when I arrived I was the only person in the upstairs dining room, so they were bringing everything directly to me, right from the kitchen. And I didn't say no to anything. Shrimp dumplings, shrimp-and-scallop dumplings, shrimp-and-spinach dunplings, shrimp-and-mushroom dumplings, shrimp shiu mai...

after joking that Duffy's "Mercy" sounds like "Amy Winehouse singing the theme to an Austin Powers sequel", I note that Ms Winehouse has backed out of doing the next James Bond theme. Bet Duffy's available...

"Let's be honest, this isn't the worst thing you've caught me doing."  Downey totally nailed the role. I hope you stayed to the end -- worth it. Bring on the sequel!

No, I almost always do, but for some reason I didn't this time.  What'd I miss?

Yes, I appreciate your restraint--give me a week--or two, if you can. Very busy right now so not sure when I'll get to the theater.
Let's get right to it.

Spielberg and Ford go gay: This may be old news but I just found out about it. The new Indy 4, aka Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will play at the Castro starting May 22 (they've committed to showing it for a month). I may be wrong, but I think this is the first time the Castro has shown a first-run, major-studio blockbuster in a non-exclusive situation (i.e., it will also be at Metreon, AMC Van Ness, etc) in decades. An experiment, I suppose.  Interesting.

No truth to the rumor that the marquee will read Indiana Jones in the Kingdom of Crystal Meth. ;)
