#2 Aw, c'mon. She played Lady Galadriel in Lord of the Rings. That's gotta be worth something.

#3 No, P2K. She passed the test. Leave me something, will you? Please don't shatter all of my fantasies. Hey, maybe GolfBravo could get some pix of her.

#5 a) interminably pretentious; or b) incurably insane.

Requirements for membership in the Film Actors Guild. Cate, if you want to change gravity, call Haliburton. They do it all the time.

Cate. "Our job is to change reality, to challenge it, not prove it and explain it."

Maybe that's why she changed the order of Karl's flatulence.

The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it.

#8 Gah. It will be a great day for human progress when all actors are replaced by CGI and AI. That is, as long as there is no Avatar II.

#9 Oh, there can be an Avatar II. That'll be the one where the humans return, burn the surface of their dinky rocky clean and strip mine the entire planet.

And as the human fleet is leaving, a huge time on target salvo of missiles will vaporize the rag tag fleet of blue people trying to escape.

All except the one nailed to the prow of the human flagship.

#10 If memory serves, in less nuanced times, those once charged with entertaining others were, without prejudice, called fools....
