yendi1. If any of you really love me, you'll buy me Number 5.
ETA: Ally Sheedy was my biggest celebrity crush when I was 14.
2. Green Day covers The Simpsons.
3. And Richard Cheese covers Green Day's American Idiot! This might be one of the most inspired covers I've heard in a while (even by Richard Cheese standards).
4. Best reason to let Vick play what his teammates and the opposition might do to him.
5. Amazon's Deal of the Day is Stargate SG-1 seasons 1-9 for $165.99 (63% off). That's technically a great deal, but I suspect that it's still a little rich for most folks (myself included).
5.5 OTOH, the Video Game Deal of the Day, New York Times Crosswords for the DS at $19.99 (33% off) is a lot harder to resist. Even if the DS technically belongs to my daughter.
6. Google Reader has just added an awesome "popout" view for embedded video/audio. Woo!
7. Lovely. Texas has appointed a creationist to head the state board of education. That's like naming Michael Vick head of the ASPCA.
8. Beowulf Trailer! Neil Gaiman! Angelina Jolie! Ray Winstone! Robert Zemeckis. John Malkovich! Anthony Hopkins!
9. A wooden car! I'd imagine that it's not very practical. Sucks when your ride gets termites, for example.
10. Finally, two comic/movie bits from Variety: Watchmen casting (Patrick WIlson as Night Owl, Billy Crudup as Dr. Manhatten, Matthew Goode as Ozy, Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach, and Malin Akerman as Silk Spectre). I'm just as exciting about this cast list as you are. Unless you're actually excited. And Dreamworks has optioned Courtney Crumrin and the Night Things! And yes, I know an option doesn't mean much, but CCatNT is something that I could really see making a good leap to the screen.

Date: 2007-07-26 01:35 pm (UTC)I pretty much don't care about the casting of the Watchmen movie. I just don't think they will manage anything like the experience of reading it, but I am hoping for at least an entertaining action/mystery.

Date: 2007-07-26 02:40 pm (UTC)I made the mistake of looking thru the auction
Date: 2007-07-26 02:38 pm (UTC)Donald Sutherland's Hawkeye Cap (http://cgi.liveauctions.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=52933&item=230155437621)

Date: 2007-07-26 04:40 pm (UTC)But what I want to know is, why did Johnny freakin' 5 find her attractive, too? An unneeded thing in that film, says I!
But hey, the film was cute and the Oregon locations looked good. (They should've made the sequel in Portland. It would've fit. I know, budget reasons = shooting in Canada, but Portland would've made more SENSE.)
