Pain in the Assassin

"The Matador" *** (out of four): Pierce Brosnan hits the mark as an assassin losing his cool in writer-director Richard Shepard's refreshingly smart comedy.

matador.jpg

As a kid in 1986, I remember being very angry that Pierce Brosnan couldn’t get out of his “Remington Steele” contract to play James Bond. I felt Mr. Brosnan, then 33, would be perfect for the role of the famed British super spy. Finally nine years later, after two forgettable Timothy Dalton Bond entries, Mr. Brosnan landed the role. While the four Brosnan Bond movies were improvements, they never quite hit the heights for which I thought he was destined. When I heard the role recently went to Daniel Craig, I felt there was a missed opportunity in the Bond franchise for that one great Brosnan Bond movie. Little did I know that all this time Mr. Brosnan has been working his way up to the role of assassin Julian Noble in writer-director Richard Shepard’s comedy “The Matador”.

Cy, the one-eyed kitty cat

I don't mean to encroach on DNAgal's Ugly Animal Kingdom here but when you come across a picture of a one eyed cat you can't help but run to the nearest blog and point to it for others to see. Besides once you get past the initial freak-out, it's not all that ugly, really.

Ugly Animal Kingdom Presents: The Camel Spider

200601091413200601091435

Not technically spiders, Camel Spiders make up a subcategory of Arachnids called Solifulgae, or Wind Scorpions. They grow to a legspan of about five inches, with a two inch body. They were the subject of a hoax email generated during Operation Desert Storm and reinvigorated in the last few years. Although purported to be vicious venomous feasters on human flesh, they are non-venomous and typically eat scorpions and centipedes and other large desert insects and arachnids. See video of a camel spider catching a scorpion here. Camel spiders are fond of shady spots, so soldiers tents, clothes, boots, etc. are popular hideouts. When cornered or stepped on, they will inflict a nasty bite with their oversized Chelicerae (jaws) that is prone to infection. There are around 1,100 species of camel spiders inhabiting the deserts of Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and North and South America. For some amazing photos taken by National Geographic photographer Mark Moffett in Iraq, check here.

To satisfy your curiosity about the unusual mating habits of Camel spiders, see after the jump.

Picture 4-Tm
Sigh - monday mornings are the worst. Well, if you need something to spice up the workday, here's Deep Throat - The ASCII version - the entire movie as moving text. Careful though, because up close it looks pretty vague, but from across the office, it just looks like green porno.

404 Error

Whoops! We're not sure if it was your fault or ours (probably yours, we're good that way) but you've encountered a FATAL ERROR!!! Or at least, a pretty grumpy one.

Specifically the Latvians who run our server are telling us in a weird accent "Smarty error: [in evaluated template line 5]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'mtfeed' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580), Comrade!". Ain't life a bitch.

If you want to vent, email our slacker of a webmaster. Otherwise, we'd suggest going back, using search, or clicking around aimlessly on this page like a moron.

Have fun.
