I've never been so happy to hear about a group breaking up I hope Beyonce takes this time to get married, pregnant and fade into oblivion with on miss Britney Spears Federline.

I love her and her voice. She uses just enough self-restraint to make it tasteful (most of the time, anyway).

It was all about doing stuff for your boyfriend, and gross things like that. And it was really slow, and just rote R&B sounding. I have to admit, though, besides bootylicious, her favorite performance of mine is in Goldmember. "Foxy Cleopatra!!!" okay, so I'm a sucker for an Afro, but still! I thought she was good.

I'm excited to see her in The Pink Panther with Steve Martin and Kevin Kline. That should be a HILARIOUS movie.

Omigoodness! My roommate loves Steve Martin, well I do too. That could be hysterical!

ooo, me too! The thing is, she wasn't trying to be funny, or didn't seem to have comedy chops, but her natural air worked really well with it. She actually seems like a nice person and stuff. I dunno, it's hard to explain what I mean, but she wasn't hamming the comedy up like the rest, but somehow it worked... And I am constantly in love with Kevin Kline.

Mreowr!!! She's a Cancer too. But, sadly, she's hotter and more fast times, so she automatically wins.... Hey, those are the rules, I didn't just make them up! Although...mmm, no, I won't tell that story....

They're remaking 'The Poseidon Adventure,' too. Why they insist on besmirching classic films with tepid remakes is beyond me.

Because nostalgia sells. Besides, the Poseidon Adventure was pretty good back in the day. If they re-make for a newer generation to be "better"...then they should get a pretty decent return at the box office. It's all 'bout the cash.

Does that mean I agree with all these remakes? no...most of them I despise. Think of this way...someone will be trying to remake Lord of the Rings in 20 or 30 years. How crappy will THAT be?

Just remember...

Charlton Heston's [i}Ben Hur[/i] was a remake

Marlon Brando in Mutiny On The Bounty was a remake

Oh, crap, I had about 5 other movies in my head that are considered greatest movies of all-time that were remakes and they just disappeared from my head.

I agree. Its like remaking Dr. Strangelove...it just shouldnt be done.

I'll bite. I'm [email protected] if you don't remember it. Sorry it took me so long to answer. For some unknown reason, I no longer have internet access at home and so I'm at school mooching off of computers here. Anyway, I appreciate it.

I love Carly Simon, have every one of her albums. Not too enthused about her new one, though, I must admit.

The Bedroom Tapes? Yeah, I like only one song off of that album. And her Christmas album? Don't even get me started. That was a mistake. Oh well.

That's the greatest avatar I've ever seen! I almost pissed myself, I had to look closer to be sure I saw what I THOUGHT I saw!
