Just finished watching the pilot episode of "The Riches" on FX - I'll definitely watch next week but it is flawed. I thought it's kind of a mix between the O.C. and Desperate Housewives (I think...I've actually never seen an episode. Not intentionally, it just never happened) and Adale added that there's a little "Carnival" mixed in. It promises to be fun like Profit was, although I don't think it will get quite as wacky. Even though I really liked watching him I couldn't buy Eddie Izzard as a trashy grifter. It's not in his eyes, the way he moves, let alone how he talks (he did a pretty good job of an American accent). The gypsy camp scene was cartoonish. It should be fun regardless.
The pilot was sponsored by what looks like the most awesome movie: Grindhouse. It looks totally crazy...Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez put together a double feature of crazy looking movies. I really don't know what they are about and honestly don't care. All I have to say is that Rose McGowan is an amputee with a machine gun screwed into her leg stump. April 6 bitches, circle your calendars.
So many things are going on today I don't know where to begin:
Israel's ambassador to El Salvador confirmed my interest in Latin American politics
A new comic book confirmed my lack of interest in Keira Knightly
I found out that I really really want to win an oscar
Eddie Van Halen is really selfish and doesn't care about his fans
I learned that being meant to be together isn't necessarily a good thing
I also learned that sometimes people you think are cool turn out to be snitches
Finally, I realized that I am sick and fucking tired of Lost. I hope The Others just kill the lot of them.

And people say that celebrity gossip is a waste of time. What you've got there are a bunch fo great life lessons Greg. In fact, I'm fairly certain that you could construct a pretty good 10 commandments our of celebrity behavior. New religion? Wanna found it?
I'd seen the Keira comix before. Also one with Jessica Alba as Invisible Woman fucking Mr. Fantastic-- both using their superpowers.
You may also want to keep an eye out for the movie "Teeth"-- about a teenage girl and her very real vagina dentata. I squealed when I read about it. I hope it's good and bloody.
Eddie Izzard was pretty good in "My Super Ex-Girlfirend"-- notable for its depictions of superhero sex. The ending, sadly, is contrived, but plowing your lover and the bed through the wall would be something to write home about.
and I don't think I'm alone on this: good to have you back, Joe.
It's funny Holly, but you would be surprised how often someone has suggested that I lead a new awakening. Instead, I think I am going to follow the example of one ofmy heros, Socrates, and let others make what they wih of my words. On the other hand I do have 3 weeks of vacation this year somaybe I could take a crack at it.
