Could Anne Hathaway have made "Phantom" a better film?

Cuz whatever happened to Emily Possum?

• Emmy Rossum is co-starring with William H. Macy in "Shameless" on Showtime.

• She just released a superb cd of standards.

• I thought Emmy was perfectly fine in the film. In the context of the story the Phantom is a con artist and Christine is his dupe, so to make this convincing you want her to be something of a weakling and a dim bulb. If she had any maturity or strength of character she would have called bullshit on the Phantom when he was sweet-talking her through the wall.

• Only if she played the Phantom.

• Humbly, from the Olympus of my Academy Award pinnacle, I can honestly say that with me in them all movies, all fims, all failed ventures of cinematic art could be saved and made better. I could have made "Ishtar" worthy of three sequels. I could have brought Cimono another Oscar for "Heaven's Gate." If only they had asked me. If only they had waited until I was born or old enough to save them. And I could have achieved glory with "Battlefield Earth," turned Johnny straight, received my first Oscar at 17, and unleashed the rule of Scientology across the universe for 13% of the gross, if only they had beaten Julie Andrews to a pulp and taken me to the Sea Org. But they didn't. Thank God Gwynny and I have signed for the "Thelma and Louise" sequel, "Out of the Gorge: Sister Arise." We plan a tie in the Best Actress voting for 2015. But you and I know who will win. Wink wink.

• R5 is insufferable. This Anne troll is NOT funny.

• At first I thought you meant as Jar Jar Binks. In which case, Yes.

• The only actress who could have played Christine and saved the movie is the inimitable Miss Liza Minnelli.

• The result of r5's efforts was not worth the time it took to write, unfortunately,

• Anne will be releasing her own CD shortly. Trust. Les Mis is the beginning of her coming into her own. Expect more singing, and perhaps a stint on Broadway in the near future. She still wants to do Garland. And I for one am truly excited. We're on the threshold of a truly brilliant, multidimensional career. It's not far fetched to put Anne as an EGOT. She's got that talent.

• Well, Hathaway couldn't have been worse than Rossum, who occupied an empty space in the center of the film. With Hathaway and Marni Nixon on board, it might have been a passable film.

• No, it wasn't R9. But one does get sick enough of the assholes here who can't put their three smug words together without misspelling one of them that an honest effort - even a failure - offers a small antidote. Screw you, by the way. Being right doesn't make you better than any other cunt here. Actually, it makes you more obviously one.

  R5

• Next thing you know, AnnE'll be fucking Randy Newman and Paul Williams for a hit Oscar winning song.
