Who could play Tintin? Jude Law? Ryan Phillippe? Somone who could do the hair tuft thing.

Captain Haddock? The key to any Tintin movie.

Professor Calculus?

Thomson & Thompson?

And which story would it be?

How about Russell Crowe for Haddock? Word has it he already has the sailor smell down.

Unfortunately, none of the Marx brothers are available to play the Thompsons

Not case sensitive sent this along to me. I forgot to post it, as she asked, when it was topical. Well, I guess it's still topical, but no one probably cares any more. Enjoy!

I thought we confirmed that he was legal? If we go to hell for lusting over him, then we will be in good company b/c there'll be millions of guys with us who all lust[ed] after Britney.


Edited to add that reading ahead is for suckers.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. When I finally watched the first Harry Potter movie on HBO a few months ago (yes, I am waaay behind--just never thought I would be interested in that kind of movie) I was like, "Wow, my face is getting a little warm--this kid is a complete hottie. I wondered to myself whether TWAWWT."

And, to think, I was embarassed while watching tv last night and thinking "Sylvain Chavanel is so hot!"

Okay, I may have actually said it aloud.

An excerpt from the excellent New York Times review:

"After seeing Mitch and Mickey, the legendary folk-music duo of the 1960's, reunite on the stage of Town Hall to perform their signature tune, 'A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow,' I wanted nothing so much as to go out to the garage and dig out some of their old LP's, just for old times' sake," writes A. O. Scott in The Times. "The only problem is that these dewy-eyed singers never existed.

"'A Mighty Wind,' Christopher Guest's latest trompe l'oeil satire (following 'Waiting for Guffman' and 'Best in Show') almost makes you believe that Mitch and Mickey (Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara, above) were real, which is an impressive stunt. More than that, it makes you almost wish that they were, which is something of a miracle. "

Now you can have your very own Minister of Information.



A talking action figure, with sayings like:

"There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!"
"Our initial assessment is that they will all die"
"No I am not scared and neither should you be!"
"We have given them a sour taste"
"They're not even [within] 100 miles [of Baghdad]"

I bet they're selling like hotcakes at: http://herobuilders.com/

I've already bought one for a friend.

Y'know what I'd pay serious money on EBay for, is one of those stupid Barbies that said "Math class is hard!" that was vandalized by guerrilla feminists and replaced on toy store shelves with a new GI Joe chip so they said stuff like "I'm going to blow your head off!"

Gothic Ordeal for Investor Kept 28 Hours in Crawl Space
By N. R. KLEINFIELD

It was a Poe story set on Chambers Street.

An ordinary business meeting between two men veered into vitriol. At knifepoint, the authorities said, one of the men was bound and gagged by the other, and then imprisoned in the claustrophobic space beneath the floorboards of an apartment.

As time ticked slowly away, he wrestled free of his bindings and tapped against the floor with a pipe. No one heard. No one came. Only after 28 hours trapped in this netherspace, with no food or water, was he able to pry his way out.

Is it bad that I think that 28 hours in a crawlspace would be better and more relaxing than most days at work? Perhaps a sign that I should be looking for a new job.

I think every girl who has seen the movie thinks the same, except that no one ever talks about it. He is soooo cute.

Where is everyone? It's Friday, and I'm looking for some serious bitchslapping.

Here's a Friday question: What's the worst thing that someone else in your office is wearing? I've been on a conference call with my door closed for two hours, so I'm going to have to do some investigating before I can answer.

It is Good Friday, and I have the day off. I imagine other people do too. It is also Passover.

And I cannot believe you are such a heathen you want to bash people on this very holy day.

Fucking Jackass

Ah, right. I was wondering where everyone else on my call was. Two hours of talking to myself. We Zoroastrians should have a holiday today, too, and then I wouldn't feel left out.

The cosmic convergence of Passover and Good Friday have left only us heathens on the board, apparently.

(Which, come to think of it, should result in more bitchslapping, not less.)
