Y’all are gonna shoot me – but the last thing I saw him in was **The Anniversary Party** (damn the randomness of the movie collection at the local library!) ---

My kids like him, he’s the guy in all the Spy Kids movies. (tubby?) Okay. After cheating, I see that Parker Posey is in this movie. How was it, **twick**? I usually like films she’s in. ---

It was full-tilt indie self-indulgence – but I liked it. You’ll be able to tell within 10 minutes whether you want to watch it or not. Actually, the cast list should give you a big ol’ hint on this – in addition to the aforementioned two, it’s got cocreator Jennifer Jason Leigh, plus Kevin Kline [my secret boyfriend] and Phoebe Cates (and cameos by their kids), Jennifer Beals, Gwyneth Paltrow, etc. ---

> [@ShibbOleth](#): > > Alan Cumming? I don’t really see him as “tubby”, but everyone is entitled to their own perspective. I was referring to Amelia Driver, who I find strangely hot; hotter than, say, her fellow Brit Kate Winslet. Or that waif Keira Knightley. Or Kate Beckinsale, for that matter. Though she’s got a stunning brain, which would definitely excite me… ---

OO OO OO!! Has anyone watched the US version of The Office with him? He seems like the perfect guy for the part, but after Coupling went down in flames, I’m afraid to watch it… **Bruce Almighty**. Funniest. Anchor scene. Ever. ---
