I'm already getting withdrawal symptoms. Last night's finale has got to rank as the best capper to the best season of Big Brother to date. The last montage of the Chilltown phone calls was just inspiring - I wish they had shown them all (many are on YouTube). Now WoW has five things you always wanted to know about Big Brother but were afraid to ask.
Driving back to the office after lunch, I figured I'd listen to whatever Rush Limbaugh is squealing about these days. Rush was on a tear about an indie movie called Death of a President, which apparently depicts the assassination of President Bush and premieres this month at the Toronto Film Festival. He referenced a controversy over a cereal commercial that shows a man riding a dog (I tried finding the commercial or the supposed controversy, but came up with zilch), and complained that liberals (of course), are all up in arms about this commercial because it might inspire kids to attempt to ride their dogs and how come these people aren't also railing against this movie.
The answer, Mr. Limbaugh, is obvious:
PEOPLE LOVE DOGS.

Doesn’t it seem just a little odd that there are fathers who breastfeed? But don’t expect this idea to go over, since a lot of men would consider it a threat to their masculinity. Duh, ya think? What do you suppose would happen if a man tried a breast pump? Anyone else care to share a personal anecdote?

Thanks for playing. Please bring in our next contestant.

- Stephen Colbert's take on the Path to 9/11. It's a documentary. Of course it's all true. We just added some zazz.
- Via Cracked.com...five great comedians who've lost it. I have to agree. Then again, they're all bazillionaires.
- This is a little weird. Depeche Mode's video for Enjoy The Silence, shot entirely on top of the World Trade Center.
- I had buddies in college that would drink entire cups of wing hot sauce. I believe they're almost all in politics now.
- And via RocketBoom...is an e-mail too much to ask for if the world's going to end? And where the hell is Abilene?
"The Black Dahlia" *1/2 (out of four): Stilted mess of a noir by Brian De Palma only loosely tied to the infamous Los Angeles murder case.

Lately it seems like every movie want to be “L.A. Confidential”. First, “Hollywoodland” aimed for the seats with its story of the circumstances surrounding the suicide of “Superman” actor George Reeves, and now Brian De Palma gives us his take on the L.A.-as-land-of-corruption theme with “The Black Dahlia”. Like “Confidential”, “Dahlia” is based on a James Ellroy novel, this one involving an infamous unsolved murder. But unlike that earlier film, Mr. De Palma’s “Dahlia” is a stilted melodrama in the worst sense: it actually seems that the director isn’t in on the joke.
