I'm totally seeing that Miami Vice movie. Due to being a sucker, and loving both of those guys!!

I have to do the analysis and recommendations part of my paper now, and I don't wanna!!! WAH.

Well, it's being made by Michael Mann-- if he's completely out of ideas, at least he's using his own.

Remember a while back there was a controversy where some claimed that the US military intentionally targeted reporters in Iraq? Non-Iraqi reporters?

Blair 'convinced Bush' not to launch strike at Al-Jazeera

TONY BLAIR had to persuade US President George Bush not to launch a military strike on the studios of TV station Al-Jazeera.

New reports claim the two leaders debated an attack on the station which has broadcast video messages from al-Qaida head Osama bin Laden and leaders of the insurgency in Iraq, as well as clips of dead British and US soldiers.

...

"If it was the case that President Bush wanted to bomb Al-Jazeera in what is after all a friendly country, it speaks volumes and raises questions about subsequent attacks that took place on the press that wasn't embedded with coalition forces."

How can you say that when Snakes On A Plane will be coming out next year?

Because I have no magic in my soul?

it speaks volumes

Yeah, but they're volumes we already own. Murdering villain who thinks he's Above The Law, has no concern for his allies nor common decency, and is a shame to his country? No, I got that one last year sometime. Is there a new edition?

What do you have to do to get impeached in this country? Oh, wait. I know the answer to that one. Well, could we arrest him then? Who's in charge here?

I can't find an actor salary site! My google-fu has deserted me!

But I think Foxx (and Farrell too) is making $20M for Miami Vice. Tucker's a lucky bastard.

eta: or $10M. Reports conflict. Even pay with Farrell, though.

If it's $10M I bet they've got a piece of the gross then. Although I guess Foxx is still technically "unproven" for opening a movie and Farrell has been a bust on his so far, so maybe that's all they get.

Ah, Massachusetts.

Attorney general shuts down Whole Foods holiday opening

Many of the state's Puritan-era blue laws, passed in the 1600s to keep colonists at home or in church on Sundays, have been repealed, such as a ban of liquor sales on Sundays. But one that remains in effect requires all stores, except convenience stores and gas stations, to close on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.

Here's my favorite bit:

"Besides disadvantaging competitors, a Whole Foods opening would harm consumers, due to lack of choice in the marketplace for consumers to shop and compare prices for the best deal."

That's right. It's much fairer to consumers to not have anyplace open at all.

And, does he get to play the Don Johnson character, or is he stuck as the sidekick?

but the most important question is -- will he have a jheri curl?

The weather outside is horrible. Yuck, yuck, yuck.

Everyone should order in for lunch, unlike me.
