I think I might just watch the final movie in the Twilight franchise (I have no interest in watching the first 3) just because it is such a clusterfuck of a novel. I need to see how this will translate to film.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I hope it's cool.
Sure he does. I'm pretty sure he gets royalties, one way or the other. That being said, I'm also pretty sure he doesn't want to his signature creation trashed.
Still ... the reaction to the news is uggghhhhly, all around. I can't recall the last time I saw reaction to the possibility of a movie being so uniformly negative.

It seems I am an inadvertant guest blogger on the media studies blog, Church of the Sonic Death Monkey, run by my friend Trevor Byrne-Smith. The subject of course, is the dark shadow of the "Buffy" movie.

Off topic, but nice commentary on Jon Stewart's segment on the White House poetry jam (and the media's typcially hyperventilating coverage of same).

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Yeah, the Daily Show post was a good one. It's amazing to me that the complainers are so un-self-aware, that they can't see they are perpetuating the exact stereotypes they're fighting against (i.e. humorless self-importance).
