It could always be worse

I know that some folks, myself included, have expressed some concern over a Pulitzer-winning musical being turned into a movie directed by a hack with no credentials to lead anyone to believe he even knows what a choreographer is.

That said, it could always be worse. Imagine if they turned an even better Pulitzer-winning musical over to an overrated director whose ego was inflated by an undeserved Oscar for a biopic, who then would turn the entire theme of lost souls struggling for the opportunity to dance into a crappy c-rate love story, cut the huge and brilliant multi-song middle number, turn the showstopper into something so mediocre that the Me First and the Gimme Gimmes version has mroe soul, not bring a single one of the show's stars to the screen (including any of the three Tony winners, one of whom would go on to become Emily Gilmore), and bring in Michael Douglas to bulk up the major non-musical role to the point of overshadowing almost everything else.

Nah. Hollywood would never do something that horrible. Right?

The new Bond and other Friday stuff.

Well, it's not quite official, but it's really really almost official: Daniel Craig is the new Bond. Personally, I think he's got great poential, although even the best Bond can't turn a bad script into a good movie.

In miraculous news, I somehow scored an exact 50M on the third Saturn level of We ♥ Katamari! I have no idea how I pulled it off. Alas, I still cannot beat the first fucking campfire level. Grr.

*Gasp* BALCO gave out steroids to a football player? I had no idea such perfidy took place.

The final panel of today's PVP damn near made coffee come up through my nose.

Not much TV news. We caught the most recent Extras last night though, which was quite fun.

*snort*

Today's Questionable Content is hysterical.

Bwahahaha!

The Capitol Steps on FEMA: Michael Brown (Mp3 file, to the tune of "Charlie Brown").

As always, the rest of the songs on their site are worth listening to (note that they only leave songs up for a month or two, and add new ones weekly).

Better than a Robbie Williams album any day of the week!

I just got home to find a package from DVDFanatic.com.

I won Season 3 of Millennium! I missed most of that season, but "Thirteen Years Later" was damned funny, as I recall, and this will give me a nice chance to see how the series ended (it even includes the later X-Files episode that featured Frank).

The Condiment museum

It's the site we all needed: The Condiment Packet Museum, with pages devoted to every food item that comes in a packet other than sugar.

Perhaps the best part is in the FAQ:

5. Do you sell these packets on your site?

For goodness sake, no! What's the matter with you?
