A Hiss Before Dying

"Snakes on a Plane" *** (out of four): Without a doubt, the best damn snakes-on-a-plane movie ever.

snakesonaplane.jpg

So. It’s come to this. “Snakes on a Plane”. Here’s where being a film critic gets tricky. Because, you understand, I can’t tell you “Snakes on a Plane” is a good movie. I mean, really. The nonsensical premise aside, it’s full of thinner-than-air characters, predictable scares and recycled disaster movie clichés. But it does have snakes. Many, many snakes. On a plane. And it has one other surprise up its sleeve: Samuel L. Jackson.

Bless These Implements

Song-of-Solomon-6-3.jpg
Book 22 is a Christian sex toy shop.

The twenty-second book of the Bible is Song of Solomon. We believe that God intended that such love, as spoken of in Song of Solomon, be a beautiful and normal part of marital life. Unfortunately this gift from God has been grossly distorted and abused by both ancient and modern people. Book22 is offering quality products to enhance the intimate life of God's children. Our hope is that our products will serve as intimacy enhancers for your marriage.

A little sleuthing turned up a competitor for them, My Beloved's Garden. Your choice. I know if I took the time, I could come up with a dozen funny lines about how the fundamentalist minority would take this, but this time I will leave it to you guys.

For anyone attending a Crawford cocktail party this weekend.

StrangerCliffNotes.jpg

You never know who you're going to run into, or what they'll want to talk about, but you never want to be caught off guard. And since Albert Camus' The Stranger seems to be on everyone's mind recently, I thought we'd provide some helpful liks. Here's the wikipedia entry. Here's a site with notes by chapter, or you can just buy the cliffs notes and read that. But whatever you end up doing, don't say we didn't try to help.

Coney's about to get a major facelift.

ConeyatNight.jpg

Fortunately, this isn't it. According to a recent article in the NY Sun, the developer posted preliminary plan renderings including a residential high-rise, luxury hotel and new pier complete with ferris wheel, all of which are still in development stages and should not have been posted. (I was wondering why the Coney Island page on their site was blank). Still, the fact that this is the same developer that's given us the Times Square Westin is cause enough for concern. We may be looking at a Coney Island version of the Bellagio in the very near future.

There, there. Have a nosh.

Crying While Eating is a video gallery of people who are crying and eating. Strange, but fun. Sorta. It doesn’t have to make sense, does it? Whew. They are probably crying about all the horrible food served up today at Miss Cellania.

One of the greatest character acters ever.

BrunoKirby.jpg

I heard last night that Bruno Kirby passed away this past Monday of Leukemia, at the very young age of 57. What do you say about an actor who's been amazing in Good Morning Vietnam, When Harry Met Sally, The Freshman, Sleepers, Donnie Brasco and Godfather II? Entertainment Weekly wrote a nice piece on an actor who was always content to play a supporting role (and the comments are cool, too). Mr. Kirby's passing is a real shame, and he will be missed.

On a related note, if you want to see some of the most tasteless journalism ever, watch this clip of a reporter breaking the news in hopes of getting some surprised reactions. It was an unfortunate choice of tactics.

Breakfast Links

- If enough people vote for Stephen Colbert, a bridge in Hungary will be named after him. I think it's worth it.
- Some video showing the 10 most unsportsmanlike plays in sports, because you almost forgot Woody Hayes.
- This is fun. You know how you can feel powerless when speaking with customer service? Just tape the call.
- Why didn't anyone tell me they were auctioning off Ricky Bobby's car from the flick. I love wonder bread.
- And while looking through the Star Trek inspirational posters, Herbert appealed to me for obvious reasons.

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 6]: 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.
