Nice JCPenney spot with women acting out famous film scenes. “Today’s the day to feel like a star.” ---

OK the JC Penny Commercial with all the classic Iconic movie scenes was great. ---

Did anyone else get the overpowering sense that McGuire and Dunst wanted to stand as far as their possibly could from each other? I know they had serious personality conflicts during Spiderman, but it was incredibly tense with them presenting. ---

Strange that Motown Records is the only label in history that is known for its distinct style- presumably because of its mostly black artists, a rarity for that time period. You never hear anyone talk about “the Capitol sound” or “the Atlantic sound.” If the Oscar statue was a female, would this entire ceremony be censored thanks to Janet Jackson? Has anyone seen any of the 79s they’re supposedly hiding as part of a contest? I haven’t. ---

[QUOTE=Key Lime Guy] this post is por todos whiteys on the Dope. [/QUOTE] Gracias, my gringo compadre. > [@](#): > > Did anyone else get the overpowering sense that McGuire and Dunst wanted to stand as far as their possibly could from each other? I know they had serious personality conflicts during Spiderman, but it was incredibly tense with them presenting. Noooo! You’re shattering my illusions! I thought there was great chemistry between PP and MJ in the Spidey movies. Never knew there was tension. In other news, anyone willing to take bets that Jennifer Hudson will be a one-hit wonder, at least as far as acting? She may have a recording career, but I predict she’ll be in a couple bad movies, then quickly drop out of sight as an actress. Just a feeling. ---

[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] Does Clint Eastwood speak Italian? [/QUOTE] AFAIK After so much spaghetti, Clint does understand Italian, but in the spaghetti western movies his dialog was dubbed later (He spoke his lines in english and then the Italians dubbed). Of course it was not a problem for the Italians, back then all dialog was added later at the sound studio! ---
