After a rough week of angst, soul-searching and strenuous debate in the Movieline comment trenches, the community bounced back with the high spirits and touching insights that we've come to know and love. With this in mind, South African bodybuilder and would-be Tarzan star Dewet Du Toit issues his sincerest congratulations: "I AM SO PROUD OF THESE SUPER COMMENTERS. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE WILL TO WIN IS MORE CRUCIAL THAN THE SKILL TO WIN." Not that there's anything wrong with skill -- and after the jump, this week's winners can prove it.
SunnyDaze on Meet Dewet Du Toit: The Man Who Would Be Tarzan: "Me Tarzan, You Caps Lock."
JudgeFudge on Super-Poked: "I can't wait to see how D. Fincher makes a bunch of fresh-faced ivy leaguers hunched over computers in a dorm room look sexy. I'm somehow imagining a fast-cut montage where Jesse Eisenberg and Brenda Song are getting high, making out a little, updating their profiles, and counting big piles of cash to the sounds of 'Another Brick in the Wall.'"
OldTowneTavern on SAG Suspends Seymour Cassel for Sexual Harassment: "At his age, he may have been groping for balance."
Michael Adams on Squint and You Can Almost Make Out Taylor Lautner's Werepenis: "Sorry, Seth, but that's not a 'penis' it's a 'sparkleshaft.'"
And a Very Special Honorable Mention:
Linda Ellerbee on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Join Nickelodeon, Act as Beacon for Network's Fallen Reptiles: "Actually, some kids did (do) watch Nick News. And some grew up to work at Nickelodeon, or The New York Times or online, and some grew up to run for office -- and get elected, and some grew up to make tons of money and some grew up to help change the world. And, of course, some never grew up.
But (after 19 years and counting) our show still goes on (and still plays on Sunday nights). And I still get to meet and listen to some really cool kids. You can learn a lot from people younger than you. sometimes you can even learn from people older than you.
May you too be so lucky one day.
Sincerely yours,
Slow-moving, half-shelled matriarch/shredder,
Linda Ellerbee"
CONGRATULATIONS AND BEST TO ALL.
