And for the record, letting somebody think somebody they love is dead, when they're not, is quite cruel.

―Kill Bill, Vol. 2

But i'll be damned if i'm going to waste an hour of my life (and Casca's) live-blogging that shit and not post about the stupid thing.

You've probably already heard the main sound bite from the show. The bride took a bottle of pills on the bus with her, but decided "not to play God." Someone needs to tell John Mason that any girl who considered killing herself rather than marrying him, may not be "the one." Cut your losses dude.

Anyway, here's some excerpts from my IM critique with Casca: more...

Is Bewitched with Will Ferrell and Nicole Kidman going to be worth seeing? Or will it follow in the long tradition of sucky movies based on tv shows that were cool. (e.g. Dragnet, Wild Wild West, The Addams Family, Lost In Space, The Flintstones.) Please don't let there be a drug ring or terrorist conspiracy that needs to be foiled by Samantha and Darrin.

What should the new Bewitched have going for it, logically?

1. Nicole Kidman. Always wonderful, any movie she is in is worth a look.
2. The understated comic talent of Will Ferrell. (i wonder if they'll replace him halfway through the movie with Will Smith, and nobody notices.)
3. A Nora Ephron screenplay.
4. Michael Caine. Everything i said about Nicole is doubly true for this man.
5. Shirley MacLaine as Endora.

However, i don't have high hopes for the remake. i watched the disappointing trailers. The screenplay is apparently a movie-within-a-movie plot, with Ferrell and Kidman playing playing actors in a Bewitched remake. But Kidman's character is a witch in real life too. That augurs ill for a fan of the original like myself.

Also, it looks like they're going to fuck with the original theme song melody. If you're going to go old school by doing a remake in the first place, go old school all the way. i don't know why moviemakers insist on going after an audience of people nostalgic for an old series, then refuse to give them what they want.

In other unrelated entertainment news, tonight's lie of the day from E.T. Tonight is the following:

Brad Pitt says he thinks his seven year marriage to Jennifer Aniston was a total success.

E.T. Tonight should be subtitled "The Celebrity Liars Show." It pains me to watch E.T. Tonight, but i consider it a duty to my own "Celebrity Watch" rubric. In tonight's episode, the obvious, bold-faced celebrity lies included the following:

Angelina Jolie said she would never be attracted to a man who cheats on his wife.

Russell Crowe's spokesperson said Crowe actually threw the phone at a wall after the concierge gave him "attitude." Yah right. You don't get to be concierge at a world class five-star hotel by being anything but obsequious to the rich and famous.

Katie Holmes said "engagement" is something she and Tom haven't talked about. Someone please stop the hype about this boring couple.

and perhaps the most laughable,

Lindsay Lohan said her shocking weight loss is merely the result of "growing up."
