I think that truck knocked out all of King's writing ability
Didn't the book have something about how the aliens weren't really aliens? I don't even know why I bothered reading to the end. It was pretty obvious that King wrote it while in constant pain from that truck incident but there's no damn reason for him to…

They should adapt his version of the Omega the Unknown comic. Only one issue out so far but it's shaping up to be as weird as the original.

Not a bad suggestion. The hard part would be finding some decent child actors. I guess a good director too. And someone should write a script, and get some money for the special effects. Other than that, there's no way they can screw it up.

Le Carre apparently liked the movie, according to one of those extras on the DVD. He said that the movie didn't hew too closely to the book but it captured its spirit. For what it's worth, I thought it was a good movie too, and I thought the director's previous film City of God was amazing.

They should have gotten the guy who directed Shaun of the Dead to do H2G2, and maybe do a rewrite of the script. I think that movie better captured the spirit and humour of Adams' books.

I think we can all agree that Stephen King has absolutely no idea what works on film and what doesn't. All of the faithful adaptations have been terrible or mediocre, and only those that strike off into more original territory have the capacity to be good.

Flatliners
That movie showed me that there can be a downside to floating in an eternity of naked boobs. Also, you shouldn't throw rocks at someone you're tormenting if they're in a tree, or they might fall and die and it'd be a real bummer when you come back from the dead.

When I read that line I thought Nathan was referencing an obscure Short Circuits sequel. Johnny-Five for President!

Did Olive say "Jiminy Christmas"?
I thought only Larry Craig spoke like that.

I thought Keanu was good in that movie where he played a scary redneck. It was the one where the drowned corpse of Katie Holmes showed her tits.

Who brings a bucket of chicken to a seduction?
I guess it's a decent fallback if he gets shot down, because at least he has a bucket of chicken to console himself with.

Wasn't this a Steve Martin movie?
What hath Descartes wrought?

I'm glad I didn't pay any money for this
Not that I would have seen this in theaters, but still, thank God for torrents. I thought this was going to be a war movie, but it turned out to be a boring-ass Oscar-baiting performance piece.

I stopped watching SNL when they got rid of Norm Macdonald
I actually only watched SNL up to the end of Weekend Update, then I turned it off and went to bed. I still don't understand why he got fired. Did he get caught nailing some NBC exec's wife or something?

Captain Emo
Now that guy definitely suffers from Bitch Dependency, aka James Blunt Syndrome. Peter is also a good candidate (with respect to the barmaid). I guess a lot of emo kids watch this show or something.

A Pimp named slickback
not "mamed"

No Boondocks post for this week?
Too bad. A Pimp Mamed Slickback was hilarious. "Science has proven that some men have a genetic predisposition to bitch dependency."

I don't get it
You've made an argument for Kelly being a bad actor, but misanthropic? I don't really see any points backing it up, apart from a mention of "an undertone of contemptuous misanthropy to many of Kellyâs performances."

Dr. Nick died in the movie
It was at the end. I think a bomb exploded and cut off his head or something like that. I dunno, I've already forgotten most of the movie.

Hey Immaculate
If you check the site I posted, PGS' creator says there'll be some new strips "in the fall" (on the website, not the Onion). I hope she means fall of 2007 because it's been at least a couple years since there was anything new on that site.
