So, this is all my bad, but I thought it was kind of funny. I clicked through this link originally at like 2am, and i was bleary-eyed, and misread 'trolley' for 'tranny'. I was like WTF. As it turns out, of course, it's just an old sign cautioning Londoners not to give Oliver Twists cashmoney for shopping carts. But if you read it MY way?

Better make sure the cops aren't around when you are 'personally depositing' for that tranny!

It's wrong, not because of the concept, but the execution. Everyone knows mosquitos are squirrely. It should have THREE little mosquito bear-traps, all ganged together. Minimum of three legs to detain a mosquito.

Wrong: AutoGrill

See, at the risk of running the bleeding edge of hypocrisy* I'm sensitive to people doing stupid shit** while driving, distracting them into driving on top of a MINI or a bike. I get agitated by make-up application, cellphone dialing and holding, CD management, coffee hand-transferring, and map or book reading, while in motion. Or some or ALL of the above simultaneously.

But I'm pretty sure an auto BBQ might be the worst. Sure, they conceived it as a tailgater party product. But i can see it now: passenger seat bacon cookery. Then death.

In Empire magazine's "interactive magazine," there's a killer new Indy shot. First, go to THIS LINK, then click on the magazine cover with Hellboy on it, then "flip" the pages with your mouse.

There's also some Hellboy goodness (naturally), as well as Portman and Johannsen sexiness.

According to Variety, reported through COMINGSOON, Paramount is planning a sequel to "Cloverfield," again directed by Matt Reeves.

Now, I should caveat that a sequel is POSSIBLE here, but that it would have to be handled DAMN well. A great deal of the success of Cloverfield was the marketing and the mystery generated from it. Another success was the combination of two completely different styles of film-making, with enough of a budget to seamlessly integrate them.

So a sequel is already down one point cause the marketing isn't going to be able to generate the same level of buzz. It's already been done for this movie/series. You get one shot at it, and that's it.

Which means the story and the filmmaking better be FUCKING exceptional.

Commas

31/01/08

Ever notice how commas (or lack thereof) can totally change the meaning of a sentence? I sent an email to WR this morning in which I meant to write the following...

"...plus, Basque revolutionaries on motorcycles, sporting facemasks, with dual .45s."

Now, in that sentence, I'm describing a person who is on a motorcycle, wearing a facemask, and carrying or holstering two pistols. However, for whatever reason, cause I'm lazy or wasn't paying attention, I wrote that sentence almost entirely without commas, thusly...

"...plus, Basque revolutionaries on motorcycles sporting facemasks with dual .45s."

It's subtle, but check it out. In THAT sentence, the Basque revolutionairies are still on motorcycles, but it is their MOTORCYCLES which are wearing facemasks, and it is those FACEMASKS which have dual .45s.

Heh. I think I'm gonna start doing this on purpose, just to entertain myself.
