I'm afraid that ever since I let my MAD Magazine subscription lapse, and don't see their satires any more, I've lost touch with most current movies...but thanks for trying.
Hollywood is a RAT RACE SITE, anyway. Although if they had cast Ms. James in a horror film, she would have been a SCARIER ETTA.
oops geoff you have to solve hab's entry 1st, THEN you can pose your anagrammatiic riddle. (only other rule I can think of is, answer is assumed to be 1 word unless you tell us otherwise)..
so: REAR SUITES anyone?

RACIER STATE = {A,A,C,E,E,I,R,R,S,T,T} = SECRETARIAT
The banter is just trying to make it easier (believe it or not) by providing some kind of oblique clue. Kentucky, racy, state, nag, all suggest horse racing (supposedly) and hint at Secretariat. Triple crown and movies are trying to be additional hints. Feel free to ignore everything but the BOLD LETTERS because they are what gets anagrammed. If they make any sense on their own that's nice, but unnecessary. And sometimes misleading.
That would be The Lizard Book, subtitled "The Saurus," of course.
On another subject, I'm trying to figure out - is MARILYN RIPE ? Perhaps you might give me your early conclusions, and your primary line of thought on the matter.
What's all the fuss abut ONANISM? Doesn't every farmer plan on spilling his seed upon the ground?
OH, HISPANIC M.P. congratulated the team after they won the World Cup futbol in 2010. I think I'll go watch Tebow & Co. encounter Brady & Co., even though it's only a preliminary game in USian football.
Betcha didn't think there was another possibility! I didn't either until just now, when I came back for another look.
(There's a very old Peanuts cartoon, where Schroeder and Linus [I think] ask Charlie Brown (who's older than they are) to settle an argument: Is there or is there not a Santa Claus? And he demurs, saying he refuses to get involved in a theological discussion. But then, he was too young to drink...)
Hyperbole is just a posh way of saying exaggeration in rhetoric. Although, since exaggeration is the longer word, maybe it's the other way round? Now I'm lost ... Perhaps being SO FECUND mixed me up.
Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
So, your reputation for solving these is untarnished, Hab.
A NAIF MONITOR might give you too much of this.
BTW, in my last post I originally typed "You're the confused one..." I think that might have given the answer away slightly! Luckily I spotted it just before submitting the post.
