- The Bounty Hunter, which i saw. Super boring. But this is the first of a series of VERY popular books. They screwed up a franchise. -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 12:18 18
  - It's been a while since I read these, but didn't she live next door - amoxy Jan 27, 12:24 4
    - I just reread the first three and that doesn't sound familiar. - Ender Jan 27, 12:36 1
      - No I already figured out it was Kinsey Millhone from the Sue Grafton novels -- nm - amoxy Jan 27, 12:39
    - i've only read one or two, and ages ago, and out of order. i am the wrong girl to ask. -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 12:25 1
      - Never mind, I was thinking of the Sue Grafton novels -- nm - amoxy Jan 27, 12:33

      - Wow. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 12:21 7
        
        I had no idea either. Wow. Appears to be a case where the studio really should just eat the losses and start over fresh. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 27, 12:24 6
        
        I wonder if there rights to it were running out so they threw some shit together while they owned it... -- nm - Beaker Jan 27, 12:26 5
        
        It was supposed to be a June release last year - so I think they *tried* to make a half-decent movie. -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 12:32 3
        
        If that were true, they wouldn't have hired Heigl. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 27, 12:56 2
        
        iirc Heigl's production company bot the rights. they had to make it with her. -- nm - Diva Jan 27, 13:03 1
        
        Tri-Star had the rights since around 1997. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 27, 13:22
        
        Could be. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 27, 12:27
- Sort of. But the reverse. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:17
I really dislike heigl and I am glad to see her fail but I am so sad to this franchise DOA. -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 27, 12:13 16
- she was totally miscast. it needed someone with a bit of edge. someone like - Andie Jan 27, 12:16 7
  - you called? -- nm - LiLo Jan 27, 12:32
  - Eliza Dushku -- nm - David Jan 27, 12:17 5
    - Honestly I think she had too much edge. - Ender Jan 27, 12:33
    - Yes. Perfection. -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 12:20
    - alyssa milano could work as well. -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 27, 12:19
    - You've got my attention. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:18
    - Poll over. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 12:18
- Don't care about Heigl, but I am also sad to see this franchise go down - amoxy Jan 27, 12:15
- It's so amusing how *everyone* has turned on her. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:13 6
  - I miss the days of her being an alien. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Lord and Master Jan 27, 12:15
  - she was even super annoying to me in roswell. I remember everyone on the show talking about how gorgeous she was and I was like - the amanda nones Jan 27, 12:15 4
    - I just googled her Maxim shoot for reference, and it hit me - dead eyes. She's got dead eyes. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:26 1
      - "for reference." "I read it for the articles." -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 27, 12:30
    - She was cute in Under Siege 2 (I was 17 so it's okay)...but I didn't hear from her again till Grey's. - Will Hunting Jan 27, 12:17
    - Oh, no. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Lord and Master Jan 27, 12:16
the part where she was bent over handcuffing some guy and the camera had a perfect angle down her top, if they made a 100 minute move of just that I - dogbert Jan 27, 12:12 1
- just the 20-21 second mark -- (link) - dogbert Jan 27, 12:16 [youtube]
this makes me sad, I wanted to see this. Not in a run out and see it this weekend, but it looked humorous. -- nm - sycor Jan 27, 12:06 24
- I am not at all a hateful person, but I wish K.Heigel would get Taken and sold into slavery. - Dr.Vermin Jan 27, 12:10
- I can't recall the name but the Reese/Pine/Hardy movies looks very good. -- nm - Epiphany Jan 27, 12:08 22
  - This Means War -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 12:14 1
    - OK, so Roger More isn't a fan of Reese/Pine/Hardy movies. Noted -- nm - prayformojo Jan 27, 12:19
  - Spy Vs. Spy -- nm - peglegpete Jan 27, 12:13 5
    - I forsee some problems for this movie, since people seem to think this is the title, and not, say, what it actually is. - Reagen Jan 27, 12:15 4
      - A bit relieved it's not just me. One billboard I see every day says MAKE WARE NOT LOVE in big letters above the actors' heads -- nm - con_carne Jan 27, 12:17 3
        
        (Um, is that actually the title? I don't know!) -- nm - con_carne Jan 27, 12:20 2
        
        (This Means War) -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:20 1
        
        Dammit, I know this. Reagen told me! -- nm - con_carne tomorrow Jan 27, 12:40
  - any movie with Reese in skimpy undies or less must be considered :) -- nm - peglegpete Jan 27, 12:12
  - I cannot figure this one out. I think Reese is preventing me from getting too enthusiastic about it. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 27, 12:11 1
    - Just remember Kirk vs Bane....the chick would need to be Heigl'ian for me to not be intrigued. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 12:15
  - Yes, looks fun to me. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 12:10
  - Drove by the theatre last weekend and Reese is looking fine on the giant poster on the side of the building. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 27, 12:09 9
    - "What the hell is with Chris Pine's head?" -- nm - The Other Thing You Think Jan 27, 12:12
    - God help me, I think she's kind of hot now. nm - Dignan Jan 27, 12:11 7
      - I agree with cucumber. -- nm - Max Jan 27, 12:29
      - She was smokin' in How Do You Know. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:12 4
        
        I had to look this up and I *still* don't remember it. nm - Dignan Jan 27, 12:13 1
        
        Lucky you. It was teeth-grindingly awful. Even Mrs.V conceded it. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 27, 12:16
        
        *blank stare* -- nm - con_carne Jan 27, 12:12 1
        
        I'm not saying the movie was any good. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:13
      - (But that movie looks like crap.) nm - Dignan Jan 27, 12:11
