I just saw a thing on the news about how ratatouille orders are up at French restaurants since the movie came out.
Wasn't the ratatouille in the movie a tarted up variation on some arabic dish? Still ratatouille but way fancier.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Though I am curious to see how it's being reviewed in France...

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I dunno. I must confess that when I say I want to make ratatouille what I really want to make is pisto manchego. That's spanish for ratatouille.

grape nuts: I caught some of Tomcats on TV last night and it finally dawned on me that she is a terrible actress. She sure is nice to look at, though. Is there anything she's good in?

Hey. New board.
I saw Ratatouille today. It was good! Some of my favorite bits were the French cliché run through the walls when Remy first gets to Paris and the skull!typewriter and coffin!room sporting Ego. I knew he wasn't a permanent villain, when they did him in such an over-the-top way.

Finally saw Hot Fuzz today. Best buddy cop movie in easily the last five years. (Also, when did Simon Pegg get hot? Or was he before and I didn't know about it?)
I've started watching a bit of 1776, and I can't get over the fact that Adams is played by a ridiculously young Principal Feeny (lately from Boy Meets World). Enjoyable so far, though...

Woe to the fucking wicked.
No, Aille, you've got that wrong. Mr. Feeny is an old John Adams. You've got to get these things in the proper order.
It's kind of a thing in my family. I mean, I was named after one of the characters, historical figures, whatever...

Well, ok, yeah. But still! I hearts me some Feeny from waaay back.

Dickinson makes me want to punch him in the head.

But he really was a formative leader in the original protests, even though he got cold feet when it came to declaring complete independence. And he did fight in the war, so he was a hero there, too.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
And he totally breaks first. Even if he doesn't get his end done in anything like a timely way...
I have this desire to do a production that has Dickinson and the conservatives really likable and the revolutionaries be "obnoxious and disliked".
