Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Sure!!

So what if I've never met him, and now he probably thinks all I do is play FCM. I'm sure he would love to read any script I give him!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hmm. Looks like the 1947 Project is retracting their request for votes for the Gridskipper competition.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Huh. So at almost any other airport, it wouldn't have been this bad.

Yup. Midway is part of the grid, just a five block square with the runways running diagonally from corner to corner in the square. There are intersections at each corner. There's almost no room for error. All things considered, it's amazing there are so few incidents like this one there.

From IMDB:

Memoirs Of A Geisha director Rob Marshall has defended his decision to cast Chinese actors in place of Japanese ones - insisting they were employed for their talent, not where they come from. The American film-maker spoke out after being chastised by Chinese critics for appointing Chinese actresses Ziyi Zhang and Gong Li to play major roles in the adaptation of Arthur Golden's popular novel. The critics insist Marshall's choice is insensitive because of the atrocities committed by the Japanese during their 1930s Chinese occupation. Marshall says, "When you saw Zorba The Greek, and you saw Anthony Quinn play Zorba, was that odd to you because he was Irish and Mexican?" Gong Li, who plays top geisha Hatsumo in the film, defended her position, insisting her decision to star in the film was based purely on character, not race. She says, "As actors, we seek roles that challenge and inspire us."

Weren't these guys just congratulating themselves for an all-Asian cast? He needs to check his talking points.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Any word on why Jake Gyllenhaal backed out of TDS last night? Doesn't have some plugging to do for the Big Gay Cowboy Movie?

They so should have booked Heath Ledger instead.

Well, I'm working from home this morning, because there's a giant crapload of snow outside.

Not that I have a problem with this. At least, not a huge problem -- just a vague sense of guilt because the only thing I can do from here is read e-mail and look things up.

Now I wait for the plow.
