I guess the casting of the major roles for the new Superman flick is all set now. Kate Bosworth (Win a Date with Tad Hamilton, Beyond the Sea) will be Lois Lane, and Kevin Spacey (American Beauty, The Usual Suspects, Beyond the Sea) will be Lex Luthor.
Anyone else excited?

I saw The Phantom of the Opera tonight. I liked it. I didn't care for parts of it. I'd give it a 67,845 on a scale of 1 to 100,000.

The last I read, the death toll from the tsunami/tidal waves/earthquakes was over 125,000.

Should they just form a line and hope they make it to the front of the queue before they die?
Where does the wisdom to make these kinds of decisions come from?
