I left Hoffman out of my list (despite his Oscar nom and win) because I thought that was an easy role to play.
Everyone keeps moaning about how this summer's box office slump is the longest in recent memory. Note to str8, if your industry made better movies, more people would go to see them. This is the crappiest crop of summer movies I can remember. And summer movies aren't supposed to be that good.
I went to the theater on Sunday evening and I ended up seeing Mr. & Mrs. Smith because nothing else interested me and I would have had to wait an hour to see Clones again.
Secondary note to str8: stop making remakes and sequels. Didn't Stepford Wives last summer teach you anything?

Points very well taken. I'll circulate a memo.
Oh, and if Stepford Wives didn't, you'd think Honeymooners would. But then, people point to Longest Yard (on its way to $160M domestic, despite being the worst movie ever made). So I doubt it'll stop. Remakes are way better when they're given a different title and setting (i.e. Star Wars, aka High Noon in outer space).
I'd way rather go to Commerce Casino than the office today. All that awaits me there are producer agreements and audit settlements. At Commerce, I can flop the nut straight and walk it all the way home.
