Scarlett Johansson's only 20!? Such sweet success at an early age. I loved her in Lost in Translation, and The Girl with One Pearl Earing, neither of which I'd classify as "popcorn" entertainment. What I fine arresting about her, in addition fine female lines, is that enormous round-face-on-the-verge-of-being-ugly that is so plain it's beautiful.

No fantasy for me here at age 55 with my own mid-40s beauty from Rostov-on-Don. (NOBODY beats my loyal Russian wife). But Scarlett's a pleasure to watch, and seems sensible enough (so far) that there's hope she won't be corrupted by Hollywood. At least she's got the good sense to avoid lunatic Tom Cruise.

Only $5 for popcorn? Wow, locally we get free refills on popcorn and soda (I call it dinner) but it's gonna cost you more then $5!

It bothers me when people throw around unrealistic numbers.

It's also very refreshing to hear someone from Hollywood acknowledging that $10-$15 is a lot of money to most of us. And don't think that my opnion of her remarks is at all tainted by how insanely hot I think Scarlett Johannson is.

I knew she had to be cool. If I had guessed, I would have said, "Probably cool."

James Spader cool.

Battlefield Earth remake?

That's really cold. I like it!

I can't wait to see Tom in those long dreadlocks! And the beard has to be dreadlocked too!

Let the lunacy continue!

Scarlet Johanssen is now my favorite actress because of this quote (and, you know, her HOTNESS and talent).

As far as the "Battlefield Earth" remake goes, I'm thinking two words:

1. musical

2. comedy

Bet the farm on this one, Tommy

Before you go overboard on Scarlett, I've got to note that she is on Hillary Clinton's fundraising committee. She is mighty pretty, though. (Scarlett, that is.)

Don't get carried away, Russ. Remember what happened with "Springtime for Hitler"; you could be creating a monster here.

Paul, don't worry: your 50% share of the profits is safe. Really. I guarantee it. All those other people clamoring for their share are liars. Scurrilous liars, the lot of them. I don't know what the hell they're talking about.

I don't care about her politics. The thing that gets me is that she realizes that movies are a way that "the great unwashed" entertain themselves, not a 105 minute commerical for Hollywood's favorite cultural institutions.

And they think people who believe in God and Jesus are nuts.

"Remake" Battlefield Earth?

You realize that Bucky Fuller wannabe loon whacked out something like ten more after scribbling down that tome?

Sorry: delete: "tome"; insert "turkey"

Even words have a certain amount of pride.
