And he plays a mean gi-tar.

I was tooling around the IMDb the other day and stumbled upon old Ronny Cox's page (a candidate for HITG if ever there was one). One thing about the profile pages on IMDb is that sometimes the pictures they choose to be up top can be unflattering. On the other hand, if you're someone like Melissa Gilbert, your picture may attract, ahem, a whole new legion of fans.

But then there's Ronny, who only has two pictures on his page. One is a classy, straightforward shot of him in a nice suit:


And the other also has him looking classy in a suit... and standing proud in front of a giant machine gun-toting robot.




Lookin' good, Ronny. Lookin' real good.

How do you make a Christian Conservative's head explode?

Tell them there is some promising new research using stem cells to cure homosexuality.

Crowding the Jury Room

I mentioned before how my video got featured on the website "Very Short List" two months ago. One thing that is cool about the site is that the logo on top of the page is unique for each entry by way of placing the letters within a picture related to the post. In my case, they took a still from 12 Angry Men and placed the letters under, over and through the cast.

The choice was a great one because (a) the film was featured in the clip show and (b) it was one of the few titles featured that actually had a number in the title. An added bonus is that this is one of my very favorite films.

VSL is really a great site and it's nice to have their updates emailed to me every day. So go and take a visit over there. It's worth it.*

Bathtubs

Well put:

"The tragic lesson of Katrina is what will happen when men and women who openly despise our government -- who brag they plan to weaken it until they can drown it in a bathtub -- are allowed to govern. After telling the nation that they and only they could keep us safe from any and all threats, the neo-clowns were caught off guard by a Weapon of Mass Destruction called 'water,' arising from a storm that could be seen lumbering toward the Gulf Coast from the surface of the moon for a week. Choose your leaders wisely; these neo-GOP idiots couldn't run a rib-joint let alone the United States of America. And sooner or later, given the chance, it will be your town they drown in the bathtub."

"Obey the Rules"

A look at the exclusive Sleuth poster (Via ComingSoon):

Appropriately enough, it's being released on October 12th, which will be my 34th birthday.

Don't let me down, Branagh.

Crash

As sad as this news is, my hand compulsively keeps snapping up in a Strangelove-esque manner and types out "I'd be depressed too if I made You, Me and Dupree".

Damn, did it again.

In all seriousness, here's hoping Owen Wilson gets better. The man has a lot of talent and a lot to live for. And if his recovery prevents him from making yet another film with Ben Stiller, so be it.
