Listening to the commentary, I noticed that in a couple scenes with
"Punk'd"-boy Ashton Kutcher, non-stop talker director Shawn Levy falls
conspicuously silent. My theory is that Levy had recorded commentary during
these scenes, but was ordered to remove it after the fact and too late for
any re-recording. The reason probably being that Kutcher, who appeared
unbilled in _Cheaper By the Dozen_ and had starred in Levy's previous film,
_Just Married_, did not want to be talked about in the commentary, or
perhaps could not be mentioned contractually because he had a non-billed
role. Anyway, if anybody knows for sure, I'm curious to know. Thanks. I'm
also curious to know, though only slightly, if Levy and Kutcher had a
falling out over this; Levy's stock is rising in Hollywood, as he's making
the new Pink Panther movie with _Cheaper..._ star Steve Martin.

BTW, _Cheaper by the Dozen_ succeeds for what it is--it's a funny family
movie. Kids like it and you can enjoy watching it with you family. Me, I
wanted to go live in the 2 houses the Bakers(get it?) had in the film. It
turns out the Midland house was actually in Petaluma, CA and the Evanston,
IL house was in the Hancock Park(sp?) neighborhood of LA. How much do you
think the Hancock Park house would sell for? BTW, the interior of the
Evanston house was a two-story set.

They're letting him do the third attempt to revive a played out
series? Sounds like someone hates him worse than cancer.

This time last year, I would have said the same thing based on the fact
that they let him direct a remake of a 1950 Clifton Webb family comedy
starring Steve Martin.

Blaine's next announced escapade will involve dropping himself from a
helicopter at a great height into a river, which seems to symbolize nothing
more than the general public's increasing desire to see David Blaine
