Inside VPage: The Year Of The Animals
With the movie premiere season rapidly drawing to a close, Variety's VPage takes a somber photographic journey back through 2005, which history will remember as The Year When Animals Rose Up And Overthrew Their Human Co-Stars. The actors' smiling faces belie the horror that uniformly followed the cascade of flashbulbs; our memories of two of the premieres' most regretable tragedies, Vin Diesel's near-fatal genital-pecking by Gary the Duck at The Pacifier bow, and the white python's grisly constriction of George Lopez (mere days after his kidney transplant) at a Lemony Snicket afterparty, are incredibly poignant.
Mark our words: No more! In 2006, the humans will rise again and return to red carpet dominance.
