Katie should go Holmes

The Holmes backlash has been in effect for quite awhile now, what with her marrying that crazy guy and bearing his creepily-perfect alien love baby. But give credit where credit is due, Holmes isn't the worst actress in Hollywood today. (Melanie Griffith still gets work.)

Although fans of the Dark Knight were relieved when Maggie Gyllenhaal took over to play Katie's role, Holmes has always been one of those young actresses whose performance can best be described with words like "decent," "acceptable," and "passing." She was very good in Thank You For Smoking, actually. Unfortunately, as Mrs. Cruise tries to take Xenu's gospel to the Great White Way, her acceptable mediocrity isn't bowling over the Broadway audiences:

No. 5 Suck it! says:

Katie is boring. Maggie is annoying. Neither of them brought anything at all to the role in the new Batman movies. They both sucked big floppy donkey dicks.

if by "very good in Thank You For Smoking" you mean "sucked ass in Thank You For Smoking" then I quite agree with you.

The play sucks.. how many people want to watch
All My Sons tells the story of Joe Keller, a successful, middle-aged, self-made man who has done a terrible and tragic thing: during World War II, rushing to meet an order from the Army, he knowingly sold them defective airplane parts which later caused the planes to crash and killed 21 men. He framed his business partner for this crime and engineered his own exoneration; now, his son is about to marry the partner's daughter, the affair is revisited, and his lie of a life is unraveled. Joe has spent his entire life in the single-minded pursuit of wealth for the sake of his family, an American Dream gone nightmarishly awry; this is a story about responsibility: Joe and his generation must understand that the boys he killed–all the boys in the War–were his sons, too. But Arthur Miller, who wrote this powerful and moving work in 1947, had more than just that on his mind: this is a movie about all the compromises we are forced to make to live in a dishonest world, about a country's irrevocable loss of innocence, oddly timely as we sit poised to enter a new millennium.

Rich people bad.. unless you are Ultra Rich then you suck the middle-class and well off people dry and give it to the poor people, with funding to give all your friends and families jobs.. and then so you look like a Saint and Savior., even tho.. oops there seem to be more poor people now?

Now I am tearing up the tickets that I spent all that money on and throwing the shredded mess up in the air.

I think I've got Gumball figured out. He doesn't read the commies. He only responds to the original posts, then goes away. He couldn't care less about what us "little people" have to say.

Gumball, come back! Sit a spell. Let me take your Brooks Brothers jacket. I'd love to talk to your ranting, frothing and foaming at the mouth, sweet self.
