Why?
Why can't they have terrible fires in places like these, with all the emergency exits chained to keep people from sneaking in?

If Lewis is a good cobbler I'd be into it, but he could just be crap at it. May though, in one of the biggest bands of all time and still manages to get an advanced degree in a hard, technical subject. These are two things that both need incredibly hard work and very different sets of talents. He's like Buckaroo…

Don't know
I've always been fascinated by celebs that have gained respect in fields they aren't famous for. Brian May, for instance, or Hedy Lamar.

Julia
Anyone else see her way back on Martha Stewart? That condescending bitch does not deserve to wash Julia's pots, I so wanted Julia to smash her smug face in with a heavy saute pan.

At least there's the idea that for every K-Fed success, there are millions of equally useless people who only can only aspire to an appearance on failblog.

The Spanish Prisoner looks like Martin's best performance because he was the hands down best part of that movie. My votes tied between PT&A and LA Story.

The slimy things lived on, and so did Brad.

Anyone remember a text adventure that responded "I have no such knowledge" when you entered something it couldn't parse? Possibly a Scott Adams one? I've been using that phrase for near 30 years now and I've forgotten the source.

This thread is a maze of twistly little passages, all alike.

Well, Bell Canada is a subsidiary of BCE, they could call it "BCE subsidiary Bell Canada presents…"

I avoid things that get compared to Borges - writers who ape Borges tend to go horribly, horribly wrong. To do it right, they need to have strong ideas of their own, and a good sense of humour. It doesn't sound to me like this book is in the same league as a Calvino or Eco.

The house of Asterion is up for sale - its spacious but poorly laid out, would be perfect for Angelina's next son. Of course, they could just knock down a bunch of the walls, open up the place.

Getting all classical in here this week, first Terpsichore, now the maenads.

That's why he's getting the senate to declare that he's a god.

Mistakes like that make you look cretinuous.

If only, if only, if only it were being directed by Takashi Miike.

I am holding out for a rom-com chick flick where they use Whitehouse's "You Don't Have to Say Please" over the dating montage.

You'll never work in this thread again.

Ah, but what '80s pop song will be used during the getting-ready-to-go-on-a-date-with-the-guy-she-doesn't-know-if-she's-serious-about-yet montage? Is "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" too predictable? Should they hold out for something edgier, like the Go-Gos?
