I've noticed a trend: We do a post about the upcoming movie version of The Spirit, and ers complain that we're too negative about it. Is it a ploy to bury Frank Miller directing career, you ask? Why are we hating so much on a movie that we've not seen, and judging it on solely on the trailers and interviews and pre-release hype that we're supposed to be excited about? Well, speaking solely for myself, the reason that I'm afraid of the Spirit movie is because of why I love the Spirit comics.

Rival presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama gave a time-out to their contentious race tonight, appearing together at the Alfred E. Smith Charity dinner at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City, where they playfully roasted each other, and themselves. McCain spoke first, saying that Oprah Winfrey refers to Obama as "The One," but, "being a friend and colleague of Barack, I just called him 'That One.' He doesn't mind at all. In fact, he even has a pet name for me -- 'George Bush.'" He also referred to the now-infamous "Joe the Plumber" who came up repeatedly in last night's debate: "Events are moving fast in my campaign and it's true that I dismissed all of my senior advisers. All of their positions will now be held by a man named Joe the Plumber." When Obama was up, he too made a few jokey gestures towards McCain's camp. He addressed the grandson of Alfred E. Smith, saying, "I obviously never knew your grandfather but from everything Senator McCain has told me the two of them had a great time together before Prohibition." The Senator from Illinois also took a shot at McCain running mate Sarah Palin: "I do love the Waldorf Astoria -- I hear that from the doorstep you can see all the way to the Russian tea room." One of the highlight's of Obama's speech, however, was when he noted, "Contrary to the rumors you might have heard, I was not born in a manger. I was born on Krypton and sent here by my father Jor-El to save the planet Earth." Putting politics aside, if only for one night, both Senators ended their speeches by praising their opponent, and both laughed heartily at the other's jokes. The Alfred E. Smith Foundation was founded in 1946 by a Catholic cardinal in the honor of former New York Governor and philanthropist Alfred E. Smith, who was a patron of the impoverished. The money raised by the dinner and the foundation goes to aid the poor, sick and underprivileged of the Archdiocese of New York.

Angelina Jolie told "Today Show" anchor Matt Lauer that she and husband Brad Pitt would very much like to add children to their growing family and are already planning for another adoption.   When asked whether Jolie had something specific in mind for a new adoption, she told Lauer simply, "yeah." The actress did not elaborate on the adoption plans and said there are restrictions anyway on beginning a new process until at least six months after new children come into a family to provide appropriate time to adjust. The latest addition, twins Vivienne and Knox, were born three-and-a-half months ago. "We have so many children that they're not really stunned anymore when kids come home," Jolie said. Together with Pitt and now the mother six, Jolie told Lauer she does not miss the days in the past when she preferred to be alone. "I don't like being without him (Pitt), I don't love being alone like I used to be." Speaking about the celebrity couple's jet set lifestyle, she said there might come a day when her children want to stay in one place for a very long time. "So far we've just moved them a lot and they like moving. They like packing their bag before the next adventure, and they like making new friends wherever we go." On her new dark drama 'Changeling,' to be released in theaters October 31, Jolie said she was inspired by the story about a "heroic" single mother who fights back after her son is kidnapped by battling the system and getting laws changed. She also said she felt a special connection to her "captivating" character, who reminded her very much of her own mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died of cancer in January 2007. "She reminds me of my mom," Jolie told Lauer. "There was something about my mother's face and the kindness and the warmth and the openness and the frailty, where she wasn't this modern woman that I am." She said there is "something so beautiful" about qualities such as shyness and feminity that are sometimes not seen positively in today's modern society.
