Summer Support

The Chicago Sun-Times has drawn up a list and looked it at least once of who the best supporting actors of this summer's movies have been:

Dory1. The rats, "28 Days"
2. Bernie Mac, "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle"
3. Ellen Degeneres, "Finding Nemo"
4. Christopher Walken, "Gigli"
5. Arnold's assets, "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines"
6. Gerard Butler, "Tomb Raider 2: The Cradle of Life"
7. Seann William Scott, "American Wedding"
8. William H. Macy, "Seabiscuit"
9. Lena Olin, "Hollywood Homicide"
10. Dakota Fanning, "Uptown Girls"

We loved Ellen as the fish Dory and William H. Macy as Tick Tock McGlaughlin, but most notably, most of these movies we'll never see until they come to cable. Basic cable. (We enjoy Christopher Walken, Bernie Mac, and Lena Olin on principle, though.) For us, the biggest scene stealer was Johnny Depp in Pirates of Caribbean, even though he was the ostensible topliner, because anytime we saw Orlando and Keira, we got bored.

Best line this summer was Dory's: "That sea monkey has my money...yes, I'm a natural blue."

I loved Dory's nonsensical free associating ways. She sort of symbolized my approach to blogging: Simultaneous blind confidence and extreme codependency.

Well, Jen, it seems to be working like a charm.

Aw, thanks, Swimfan, I'm blushing.

Just went to check out quotes for Finding Nemo. My favorite quote from Dory: "I shall call him Squishy, and he shall be mine, and he shall be my Squishy." (Again, so me.)

I also liked the weird fish in the dentist's tank that loved bubbles and Peaches the starfish. Really, I enjoy Pixar for the throwaway stuff.

Have you seen "The Incredibles" trailer? Pixar through a lens darkly...

Yes, and I can't wait.

Geoffrey Rush as Captian Barbossa in Pirates was interesting, expecially his weird apple fixation.
