Aaron Eckhart - Sick of Him - But I'll See Thank You For Smoking

I only liked him in Erin Brockovich.  But there are other reasons for watching Thank You For Smoking:

1. Sam Elliott.  He has pretty much only starred in smaller roles.  He did well in one of the few leading roles he was given (see Off the Map). 
2. Katie Holmes.  Just so that I can wonder how many takes it must have taken her to be able to get the "Yuppie Mephistopheles" line right.
3. Rob Lowe.  Just because.
4. Maria Bello.  She was outstanding in A History of Violence.

Watch the trailer above.

Matthew McConaughey on Jay Leno

Does anyone have the video for the interview last night?  I thought Jay Leno was actually a bit cruel when he asked Matthew what he would prefer as a God's gift: some sport championship title or an Oscar.  Matthew was all like:  Oh, I got some work to do before an Oscar. 

I figured out the work he needs to do, the work that needs to be done in his case is called rebirth (the real thing I mean, like Jesus herself).  Good luck with that Matthew.  As a consolation prize, I will see Failure to Launch.  On DVD.
