My favorite part of Space Jam is Bill Murray retiring "untied and undefeated" due to knee problems after joining the game for no more than ten seconds.
Space Jam has no business being as awesome as it is. Ten times funnier if you imagine Danny DeVito's character as Frank the whole time.
I honestly had no idea DeVito was involve until your mention of it. Fantastic.
Yeah, he's the villain.
Speaking of DeVito, it's baffling to me why no one puts his performance as The Penguin in Returns on a similar level to Heath Ledger's as The Joker. It's just as transformative, if not more so, and his character has a real tragic and dramatic arc that's more demanding, and he nails it. Returns is a great film, but a terrible Batman movie, whereas TDK is both, and Ledger's premature death coupled with that performance sealed it as near-legendary, which it should be, but it's a shame DeVito's Penguin and to a somewhat lesser extent, Eckhart's Two-Face, get pushed to the side.

ALBUM OF THE YEAR
Beyonce - "I Am ... Sasha Fierce"
Black Eyed Peas' "The E.N.D."
Lady Gaga - "The Fame"
Taylor Swift - "Fearless"
Dave Matthews Band - "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King"
Is it Grammys or Teen Choice Awards?
Well, having a great film behind the character helps. Having the death story of Ledger helps too. And the Peguin seemed a little more forced than the Joker, especially considering Ledger's Joker was the more "realistic" one compared to Nicholson's "fell into a chemical vat" Joker. A lot of circumstance went into it that shouldn't influence how we judge the performances, but I wouldn't say it's baffling.
oh surely, especially since they opened for them for part of the tour and everything. i'll never understand why bono feels the need to kiss every musician's ass, but yeah.Bono would probably come out and give a big speech about how honored he was to be recognized alongside the Black Eyed Peas' genius if NLOTH had been nominated for best album.
Barf.
