As you may recall, I’m not a big Thor fan. It’s the costume. Still, I consider it my duty as a Marvel Comics fan to bring you this trailer from Thor: The Dark World , which hits U.S. theaters on Nov. 8. The action isn’t quite as exciting as the slam-bang stuff that happens in the Iron Man 3 trailers, but it sure does look like Thor’s Earth-bound lady love Jane Foster ( Natalie Portman ) ends up in a heap o’ danger when the superhero takes her on what looks like an impromptu journey to Asgard and, perhaps, doesn’t guard her ass enough. The scenes that begin at the 1:16 mark and use of the word “sacrifice” in the voiceover certainly hint that Foster’s life could be at stake. Take a look below: See Jane Menaced: By the way, did you see that Loki’s back and looking like the Edris Salon is doing his hair in that high-security prison where he’s cooling his heels? Fabulous.

You may have read Rebecca Martinson’s batshit letter to her Delta Gamma sorority sisters at the University of Maryland, but you haven’t experienced the full mind-blowing vitriol of this remarkable document until General Zod performs it for you. This exclusive Funny or Die clip of Man of Steel star Michael Shannon , who plays Superman’s Kryptonian rival , has just surpassed “Bat Fight” to become my favorite FOD video thanks to Shannon’s impeccable comic timing and delivery. If you aren’t familiar with Martinson’s work, check out the back story on Gawker or The Frisky . You can also read the letter in its entirety below before checking out the video, but do check out the video, if only to hear the actor say, “News flash, you stupid fucking cocks!” Shannon gives us a performance that’s a mix of his acidic portrayal of sardonic music-business legend Kim Fowley in The Runaways and the “I WILL FIND HIM!” rage of Zod in the Man of Steel trailer. Are you not entertained? Michael Shannon’s Greek Freak-Out Here’s the Martinson email in its entirety: If you just opened this like I told you to, tie yourself down to whatever chair you’re sitting in, because this email is going to be a rough fucking ride. For those of you that have your heads stuck under rocks, which apparently is the majority of this chapter, we have been FUCKING UP in terms of night time events and general social interactions with Sigma Nu. I’ve been getting texts on texts about people LITERALLY being so fucking AWKWARD and so fucking BORING. If you’re reading this right now and saying to yourself “But oh em gee Julia, I’ve been having so much fun with my sisters this week!”, then punch yourself in the face right now so that I don’t have to fucking find you on campus to do it myself. I do not give a flying fuck, and Sigma Nu does not give a flying fuck, about how much you fucking love to talk to your sisters. You have 361 days out of the fucking year to talk to sisters, and this week is NOT, I fucking repeat NOT ONE OF THEM. This week is about fostering relationships in the greek community, and that’s not fucking possible if you’re going to stand around and talk to each other and not our matchup. Newsflash you stupid cocks: FRATS DON’T LIKE BORING SORORITIES. Oh wait, DOUBLE FUCKING NEWSFLASH: SIGMA NU IS NOT GOING TO WANT TO HANG OUT WITH US IF WE FUCKING SUCK, which by the way in case you’re an idiot and need it spelled out for you, WE FUCKING SUCK SO FAR. This also applies to you little shits that have talked openly about post gaming at a different frat IN FRONT OF SIGMA NU BROTHERS. Are you people fucking retarded? That’s not a rhetorical question, I LITERALLY want you to email me back telling me if you’re mentally slow so I can make sure you don’t go to anymore night time events. If Sigma Nu openly said “Yeah we’re gonna invite Zeta over”, would you be happy? WOULD YOU? No you wouldn’t, so WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO IT TO THEM?? IN FRONT OF THEM?!! First of all, you SHOULDN’T be post gaming at other frats, I don’t give a FUCK if your boyfriend is in it, if your brother is in it, or if your entire family is in that frat. YOU DON’T GO. YOU. DON’T. GO. And you ESPECIALLY do fucking NOT convince other girls to leave with you. “But Julia!”, you say in a whiny little bitch voice to your computer screen as you read this email, “I’ve been cheering on our teams at all the sports, doesn’t that count for something?” NO YOU STUPID FUCKING ASS HATS, IT FUCKING DOESN’T. DO YOU WANNA KNOW FUCKING WHY?!! IT DOESN’T COUNT BECAUSE YOU’VE BEEN FUCKING UP AT SOBER FUCKING EVENTS TOO. I’ve not only gotten texts about people being fucking WEIRD at sports (for example, being stupid shits and saying stuff like “durr what’s kickball?” is not fucking funny), but I’ve gotten texts about people actually cheering for the opposing team. The opposing. Fucking. Team. ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?!! I don’t give a SHIT about sportsmanship, YOU CHEER FOR OUR GODDAMN TEAM AND NOT THE OTHER ONE, HAVE YOU NEVER BEEN TO A SPORTS GAME? ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND? Or are you just so fucking dense about what it means to make people like you that you think being a good little supporter of the greek community is going to make our matchup happy? Well it’s time someone told you, NO ONE FUCKING LIKES THAT, ESPECIALLY OUR FUCKING MATCHUP. I will fucking cunt punt the next person I hear about doing something like that, and I don’t give a fuck if you SOR me, I WILL FUCKING ASSAULT YOU. “Ohhh Julia, I’m now crying because your email has made me oh so so sad”. Well good. If this email applies to you in any way, meaning if you are a little asswipe that stands in the corners at night or if you’re a weird shit that does weird shit during the day, this following message is for you: DO NOT GO TO TONIGHT’S EVENT. I’m not fucking kidding. Don’t go. Seriously, if you have done ANYTHING I’ve mentioned in this email and have some rare disease where you’re unable to NOT do these things, then you are HORRIBLE, I repeat, HORRIBLE PR FOR THIS CHAPTER. I would rather have 40 girls that are fun, talk to boys, and not fucking awkward than 80 that are fucking faggots. If you are one of the people that have told me “Oh nooo boo hoo I can’t talk to boys I’m too sober”, then I pity you because I don’t know how you got this far in life, and with that in mind don’t fucking show up unless you’re going to stop being a goddamn cock block for our chapter. Seriously. I swear to fucking God if I see anyone being a goddamn boner at tonight’s event, I will tell you to leave even if you’re sober. I’m not even kidding. Try me. And for those of you who are offended at this email, I would apologize but I really don’t give a fuck. Go fuck yourself. [ Funny or Die , Gawker , The Frisky ] Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter.

After Midnight , anyone? The Richard Linklater -directed Before Midnight doesn’t premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival until 6 pm. on Monday, but an hour before curtain time the filmmaker hinted that a fourth film in a sequence that began with Before Sunrise in 1995 and Before Sunset in 2004, was not out of the question. Linklater joined the co-stars of the latest installment of his realistic romance, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy , at the Tribeca Talks Directors series , and one of the final questions asked of the director was whether the third film was intended to tie up the romance between the American Jesse (Hawke) and the French Céline (Delpy) 18 years after they met on a train traveling to Vienna. In the third film, Jesse and Celine are not just together they have two daughters in tow as they vacation and bicker in romantic Greece. Watch the trailer and then I’ll get to Linklater’s response: Ode to a Grecian Yearn Linklater answered the festival goer’s question by responding that Before Midnight was about capturing “that moment” in Céline and Jesse’s lives. “It wasn’t a summation. It’s definitely not a final vibe,” he said, before adding his own twist on a spoiler: “They’re both still alive at the end of the movie…There might be another one. Who knows?” But, he concluded that he and his cast didn’t have to think about it for at least another five years or so. This could be good news for fans of the film series, which has a die-hard following thanks to its warts-and-all approach to romance and relationships. If the film is as good as the early buzz indicates, the sequel could be inevitable and not take nine years to come out. Oddly enough, although a nine-year time span separates the first and second and then the second and third movies, Linklater told festival goers that Before Midnight was scheduled to shoot this coming summer but production was moved up when the three collaborators realized that they each had openings in their schedules last summer. The symmetrical nine-year space between the movies “was kind of a coincidence,” Linklater said.

Let the rehabilitation of Lance Armstrong begin? The Hollywood Reporter reports that Ben Stiller and his producing partner Stuart Cornfeld have commissioned screenwriter Clay Tarver to write a sequel to Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story , and I think it could be a key public-relations opportunity for the disgraced Tour de France cyclist. If your memory needs recycling (ba-dump-bump!), Armstrong appears in a key cameo in the movie, where Vince Vaughn’s character, Average Joe’s Gym owner Peter La Fleur is about to quit his underdog team and Armstrong shames him into reconsidering . In the aftermath of Armstrong’s doping scandal, that scene looks ironic and tragic today. But…America loves comeback stories, and if the former champion would be willing to take it on the chin comedically, I bet he could make a little progress in rehabilitating his tarnished image post-Oprah. The sequel is supposed to be about Vaughn’s character and Stiller’s character, White Goodman from Globo Gym , teaming up to battle “an even bigger threat,” as the publication reported. And Armstrong’s cameo could be as simple as having him seek redemption on La Fleur’s team or play for one of the competitors that Average Joe’s faces. Either way, he should get beaned real good in a creative elimination scene. Even better: an encounter between La Fleur and Armstrong that would reference the first cameo. Once again, Armstrong would have to agree to take it on the chin. That could be deep and cathartic in a comedic way. It would definitely be more effective than drumming for the reggae band Lance Herbstrong, which Armstrong did on April 20 at the Austin Reggae Festival: Give The Drummer Some…Redemption While we’re on the subject of returning Dodgeball characters, Jason Bateman ‘s loopy ESPN 8 — The Ocho! — color commentator Pepper Brooks is a must .

A longstanding gig will keep Sandra Bernhard from attending the Tribeca Film Festival’s closing-night screening of The King of Comedy on April 27, but it’s not like she needs her memory jogged. The comedienne recalls that making Martin Scorsese’s prescient and oh-so-dark 1982 comedy about a deluded stand-up comic ( Robert De Niro ) who kidnaps his favorite talk-show host ( Jerry Lewis ), was a “coming-of-age experience that left me a changed person.” Talk about a breakthrough. Bernhard played Masha, an obsessed and similarly deluded fan of Lewis’ Jerry Langford character, who after helping to carry out the the kidnapping, entertained the duct-taped Langford in her bra and panties. Great comedy is often deeply unsettling, and Bernhard’s portrayal of Masha is so unabashedly off the wall that she left movie audiences squirming and Jerry Lewis genuinely aghast. It’s one of the purest comic performances captured on film. Here’s a little taste: The Monster Masha I talked with Bernhard about her experience making the movie, her scene with three-fourths of the British punk band the Clash , and her thoughts on whether a movie as prescient as The King of Comedy could be re-made at a time when the world is full of Rupert Pupkins and Mashas. Movieline: Let’s start with all the talent you beat out for the role of Masha. You’ve talked about how Debra Winger and Ellen Barkin were in the running, but Meryl Streep wanted that part as well. Any others that come to mind? Sandra Bernhard: I had heard that as well. So many people were up for that role, but I don’t know who exactly because they obviously didn’t tell me. I only knew about Ellen because I heard from her directly. I know that the part kind of came down to me and another actress, but I don’t remember who it was. Somebody did tell me at one point but it wasn’t anybody really compelling. How has the movie’s meaning for you changed over the years? I haven’t seen the movie in a long time. How many times can you watch yourself, you know? It’s uncomfortable. I am curious to see it again all cleaned up and restored. The film was so representative of an era in filmmaking when people would take their time in a scene. It wasn’t a case of rush, rush, rush onto the next moment. You had room to breathe, and I think that in itself made people uncomfortable because the topic was so weird and out of left field at the time. Now, expectations of fame and desire run so extreme that the film almost seems tame in comparison, but there’s still something about The King of Comedy that’s very disarming and offbeat and something you’ll never see again. And so those are the emotions I feel. It was very evocative. I agree. One of the reasons the film is so memorable is the way the camera lingers on the discomfort that you and De Niro create in your scenes. It’s very visceral and pure in a way. Exactly. All of this extreme in-your-face social media doesn’t really have any impact because it doesn’t breathe. You don’t have to stay with it. As quickly as you look at it, it’s gone. This film has resonance and depth. It’s made of earth and mud and shit — stuff that sticks to you. And yet, for a film that observes the old rules of filmmaking, it’s pretty prescient when you consider the celebrity-obsessed moment we’re now experiencing. Yes, but even though it was predicting where things were going to go, it did so in a much more human, relatable way that we’ve lost in the inception of all the things that The King of Comedy predicted. Do you think this movie could be made or remade today? No way. At one point, Jack Black wanted to remake it, and I was like — I mean I love him, he’s fabulous, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think it would have worked. It’s too late to remake it. We’re here and there’s nothing to really predict. It’s just an ongoing conversation you have every day of the week like, “Can you believe he’s famous?” There’s nothing to say about it. We’re in the middle of it. Scorsese has said making the film was very difficult and trying because of the subject matter, and he and De Niro didn’t work together again until 1989 for Goodfellas . Was that evident when you were filming? I don’t remember it being that way, but I think Marty puts a lot of his own intellectual and emotional weight into everything he does. He’s a brooding kind of person and I think that things get under his skin and affect him. I’m so the opposite. I just go and do it, and then I pull out of it. I try not to stay with the feelings. Maybe it shook him up in a way that didn’t affect me. When it’s your film and you’re making it, you’ve got a lot more at stake. Do you have one particularly memorable moment of him directing you. Did you crack Scorsese up? I cracked him up more than once, but I think the most important thing I learned from working with him was keep to things very small. I was used to working on stage where everything needs to be big and gesticulated and over-the-top. Whereas, when you’re making a movie, the littlest nuance and the littlest emotion are read very easily when the camera is right there in your face. So he would always tell me, “tone it down.” Your performance is very real and that makes the movie all the more unsettling. I remember flinching while watching the film and thinking, “This is so intense.” It was, and in order to not, like, completely shatter the screen, there had to be a little bit of holding back. You have a scene where you tangle with members of the Clash in the movie: Paul Simonon, Mick Jones and the late Joe Strummer. How did that happen? Marty was a big fan of theirs, and I think they were in town doing something and he just got them to do the scene. We shot that in front of the Colony Records on a very, very hot day — sometime in July. It was nuts. They were just smoking and leaning against the place, you know, talking to me, and I said: “look at the street trash….” It was crazy. Did De Niro or Lewis give you any guidance on the set? Well, Jerry loves to direct. Whereas he is not as magnanimous as the rest of them, he would still acknowledge a powerful scene or a great moment by his reaction. He would register total fear and shock while sitting across the table from this lunatic Jewish girl. He had never seen anything like me. In that respect, the movie also represents a real moment in comedy: you’ve got Lewis, the old guard, starring opposite you, who was satirizing his brand of Vaudevillian comedy in your nightclub act. Absolutely. There couldn’t have been two more disparate worlds than the ones Jerry Lewis and I inhabited in 1981 when we shot the picture. Jerry had never been in a movie with a lady like me. I was deconstructing self-deprecating female comedy and the kind of dusty shtick of that generation — my father’s generation. I think that was another reason they liked me for the role: I brought that new avant-garde attitude to the whole thing. Did you improvise the entire dinner scene with Lewis? There were parameters — points that I needed to get to throughout the scene — but Marty wanted me to bring some of the act I was doing at a time into it, and he just let me go. I was supposed to be this crazy character who was on her own in the world. And I just tapped into who I was at the time and let it fly. Both Masha and Rupert are incredibly self-involved characters seeking fame and attention. All these years later, it feels like a world of Mashas and Ruperts is being spawned before our eyes. That certainly was the most prescient part of the movie when you look at it now. But at least they were interesting, complex characters. Now they’re just morons. I’d do anything to see anybody as interesting as the two of us, God forbid. Look at the crap on all the different websites and the blogs. It’s like, sorry, you’re not cutting the mustard. You have nothing to add to this conversation.Can it. Will you be in attendance on closing night? I can’t be there because I’m performing in Pittsburgh in association with the Andy Warhol Museum . The gig has been on the books for six months now. They wouldn’t let me out of the gig so I said, at least I had more than 15 minutes of fame . Last question. What are you doing next? I’m on the road doing my one-woman shows. I’m in the middle of trying to set up this TV series for myself and another actress, but I don’t want to talk about it as this stage. And I’m shooting a little independent small film in Brooklyn in the fall called Love in Brooklyn . It’s a cute film that supposed to take place in the ‘80s. It has a dance vibe to it.

I saw Kinky Boots at the Al Hirschfeld Theater on Broadway the other night, and by intermission, I was convinced that it could be another Hairspray : a movie that finds success as a Broadway musical and then returns to the big screen as a movie musical. You may recall that Hairspray started out as a modestly budgeted 1988 film by John Waters that starred Ricki Lake as Tracy Turnblad , the late, great drag queen Divine , in his last movie performance, as Tracy’s mother, and Blondie’s Deborah Harry . The film did okay at the box office but became a cult favorite when it was released to the home video market. But that was just the beginning of its journey through American popular culture. In 2002, producer Margo Lion , composer Marc Shaiman and writer Thomas Meehan adapted Hairspray for the stage. They cast Marissa Jane Winokur in the role of Tracy and Harvey Fierstein in the part that Divine played, Tracy’s mother, and ended up with a Broadway hit. Re-enter New Line , which distributed the original film, and became involved in re-adapting the stage version as a movie musical. This time, John Travolta played Tracy’s mother , and, once again, audiences bought tickets. Like Hairspray , Kinky Boots began as a modest 2005 comedy film that was written by Tim Firth ( Calendar Girls ) and Geoff Deane , directed by Julian Jerrold and starred a baby-faced Joel Edgerton , who’s about to look a whole lot more manly in The Great Gatsby . The film has only grossed a little over $10 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo , but it enjoys cult status among the trendsetting fashion crowd — as does Waters, by the way — because it involves two favorite topics: shoes and drag queens. The movie and the play are loosely based on a real story: At a time when staid Northampton, England shoe manufacturers were going out of business, the WJ Brooks Ltd. shoe manufacturer there reinvented itself by making racy boots and shoes for drag queens and the fetish trade. The company is now known as Divine Footwear (yet another odd tie to the original Hairspray .) In the movie (and stage production), the factory’s reluctant new proprietor Charlie — who takes over when his father dies — hires a drag queen named Lola as chief shoe designer, which causes much controversy among his conservative blue-collar workforce When you check out the clip below, keep in the mind that the original movie was not a musical, but it did feature this musical performance by Lola (Chiwetel Ejiofor): These Boots Are Made For Talkin’ Cut to April 4, when Kinky Boots , the musical opened on Broadway. Produced by Daryl Roth and Hal Luftig , the show’s book was written by Harvey Fierstein — there’s that Hairspray connection again — with songs and lyrics by Cyndi Lauper , who knows how to write upbeat, crowd-pleasing music. The night I saw the production, the crowd loved it, and, last week, Kinky Boots enjoyed its first grosses over $1 million as well a berth among the five top-earning shows on Broadway. Here’s a glimpse: Sole Power The show also seems to be drawing noteworthy producers who’ve worked in both theater and film, including David Geffen ( Dreamgirls ) and Paula Wagner ( Jack Reacher , The Heiress ). As you can see from the photo above, Waters and Barry Manilow also caught the play. If Kinky Boots continues to pack in the out-of-town crowds, I could see it enjoying a second life as a movie musical. I bet most of the cast of Les Miserables would be interested. Who would you cast?

Spike Lee’s remake of Park Chan-wook’s Oldboy doesn’t hit theaters until October, and that just seems way too long to wait. I’m genuinely excited to see what Lee does with the material and am envisioning a revenge (and blood)-soaked 25th Hour . The good news is that FilmDistrict has finally dropped a tiny morsel from the upcoming film. The bad news: it’s chicken scratch. The distributor has unveiled a teaser poster for the film at CinemaCon , which is taking place in Las Vegas April 15-18 . The symbolism borrows from Park’s original: they’re the scratches that the imprisoned protagonist Oh Dae-su ( Choi Min-sik ) uses to keep track of time. That character gets an American makeover in Lee’s version: He’s now Joe Doucett (Josh Brolin), and, according to the official synopsis he’s an advertising executive “who is abruptly kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement. When he is inexplicably released, he embarks on an obsessive mission to discover who orchestrated his bizarre and torturous punishment only to find he is still trapped in a web of conspiracy and torment.” These clues leave me with a handful of questions, most of them having to do with other plot points from the original that are ripe for homage: 1) There are a lot of advertising executives I’d like to see locked away, but for 20 years? What did he do, devise those Kia ads with the hipster hamsters ? 2) In the original Oh Dae-su tracked down his captor via the dumplings he was fed in prison every day. If an American comfort food is substituted, what will it be? Macaroni & Cheese? 3) Will the live octopus-eating scene be referenced? (If you haven’t watched the original Oldboy , you should, but, in the meantime, I’ve posted the scene below.) 4) Will incest figure into the plot as it did in the original? If so, American audiences will squirm enough that reprising the live octopus scene won’t be necessary. 5) Does Lee’s brother Cinqué Lee have a thing about playing bellhops ? He plays one in this movie, and he played one in Jim Jarmusch’s 1989 film Mystery Train . If you crave more Oldboy info while you wait for a trailer, check out my interview with director Park in which he explains why he’s not interested in seeing Lee’s remake until it’s released.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion Part 2 started out low down and dirty but ended on a surprising high note. Relive the egos, shadiness, and shocking reconciliations in THG’s +/- recap! So why did NeNe Leakes seem so rational this season? She says that in the past she hated having to watch her own craziness on camera week in and week out so now she tries to stay neutral. Plus 30 . She may not always pull it off but I applaud the initiative. NeNe claims that last season the other ladies were spreading lies and gossip about her that hurt her relationship with Gregg… ilke Phaedra Parks pulling Marlo into the mix. Supposedly Phaedra urged Marlo to come on the show in the hopes of stirring up trouble with the whole Charles Grant rumor. Minus 18 if it’s true, that’s just low. Phaedra swears she hadn’t heard the rumors about Marlo, NeNe , and Charles Grant until after Marlo joined the show. NeNe calls bullsh*t! I have to agree. All of it sparks a ridiculous exchange between Kenya Moore and Phaedra who probably couldn’t produce on fully functional brain if they put both of theirs together. Kenya yells out, “Phaedra’s the queen of low down and dirty.” To which Phaedra replies, “Honey, you don’t know me from Adam’s house cat. You’re just an obsessed fan.” Minus 15 . Can someone please make them stop? Apparently not before Phaedra claims that Kenya can’t even get an interview in the media if she doesn’t promise to talk about Phaedra. Wow! Someone’s got an ego bigger than all of Georgia. As NeNe said earlier in the season, Phaedra does a lot of things shady and undercover, even going to family to dig up dirt. According to NeNe, back in season one Phaedra contacted her half sisters to dish on NeNe. Minus 22 . Obviously NeNe’s still ticked. But really she should just ignore Ms. Phaedra. NeNe’s living her dream. Why get bogged down in this old drama? Plus 28 to Andy Cohen when he asks Phaedra if one of the risks of having a donkey booty is butt dialing. Then the wig makes her grand entrance…only sans wig. Kim Zolciak returns to set the record straight and wearing her natural hair. Andy’s so shocked he has to touch it. Plus 11 . Kim’s hair looks great. It makes me wonder why she chooses to wear wigs. As Kim takes the stage Kandi and Phaedra look like they could spit. Suddenly we’re back to arguing over Kim’s long list of serial excuses. Minus 17 . That was boring the first time around. Yeah, Kim took it too far but she was recently married, had a new baby, another on the way, two growing girls, and lost her home. That’s a lot on anyone’s plate, even someone with a full time assistant and a nanny…or two. In the end, let’s face it. Kim didn’t want to be here anymore. She got the man and the family she wanted and ditched these crazy ladies from Atlanta. I can’t really blame her. Kandi’s the toughest on her but that’s usually the way it works. There’s nothing nastier than a former friend. Minus 10. But they both agree that neither of them are great at communicating and they left a lot of loose ends when it came to business. Any chance they’ll work things out and somehow drop this lawsuit? And enough about baby names already. Kim has an actual baby and she named him Kash. Since Kandi isn’t even pregnant, I think it’s time to let it go. The biggest surprise of the night was Kim and NeNe. They were downright civil. Plus 13. Although they both admit to being in two different places in their lives, Kim says NeNe knows her better than anyone. That they were friends before this show started back when they were just living their lives. They might make one another mad as hell but there will always be an underlying respect. Damn. They even hugged. I really didn’t see that coming. Plus 21. I’m feeling all warm and fuzzy. I’m sure next week’s Reunion Part 3 will take care of that. EPISODE TOTAL: +8! SEASON TOTAL: -324!
