I'm all about a proud parent celebrating their child and his sports accomplishments but I felt that I had to share this with the Loyal 77 though.  Is it me or does something with this seem wrong to you?

A little sweet death

Before Halloween.

Little Falcon Heene and his brothers made this video for Wife Swap last spring. You really can't understand what they're singing, but you can probably get some idea of what image they are trying to project. Oh, yeah, I understood the beans part. I taught that one to my own kids, but also admonished them that ladies don't sing such things in mixed company. They weren't quite so confident in their appearances last night on Larry King Live when Falcon goofed his lines and on The Today Show AND Good Morning America when Falcon blew chunks. Mr. and Mrs. Heene, please enjoy the rest of your 15 minutes. Then let the kids be normal for a while, OK?

Starting this Sunday night, IFC will be airing the 6-part documentary Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer's Cut). It's an exhaustive start-to-finish history of the groundbreaking comedy troupe, featuring interviews with the original members, archival footage and conversations with people they've worked with and influenced over the years, like Lorne Michaels, Eddie Izzard and Stephen Merchant.

According to Python member Terry Jones,

This is the documentary I always hoped that would be made -- something so complete and so faithful to the truth that I don't need to watch it.

Six hours of in-depth Python interviews and never-before-seen material? I think I just soiled my Spanish Inquisition robes in excitement.

To celebrate the premiere of the documentary, last night the Ziegfeld Theatre in NYC hosted the remaining members of Monty Python (plus a cardboard cutout of the late, great Graham Chapman) for an extensive audience Q&A -- full video after the jump.

Splunge!

I've always been impressed by anyone who can fluently speak more than one language. People who learn a manufactured language confound me. And being able to perform a known song in a manufactured language is just plain cool. Introducing the artist known as Klenginem, performing the Klingon version of Eminem's song Without Me. In Klingon, the song is called SuvwI'pu' qan tu'lu'be.

Growing up on the Klingon starbase Morska, it was no problem for Klenginem - whose real name is Quvar muHwI' valer - to receive the most different kinds of communication waves, among which also the terran rap-music.

As a communications officer, it was no problem for him to adapt the songs to the klingon music, and then he presented his first try to the warriors of the Dark Vengeance Fleet. To make his pseudonym, he used the name of a famous terran rap-singer, from the "Klingon Eminem" he got the name "Klenginem".

The US, the English, the Brazilians think they know how to make good advertising, but really, they can't hold a candle to the Germans.

This is pure insanity, with a dose of laughter and WTF.

"Where the Wild Things Are" **1/2 (out of four): Spike Jonze's beautifully audacious and sadly flawed film brings Maurice Sendak's much-beloved, nine-sentence children's story to vivid, CGI-enhanced life. If only he had kept it a short story.

Full disclosure: I've only read "Where the Wild Things Are" - Maurice Sendak's much-beloved, nine-sentence children's story - one time. And that was about four days ago. It just wasn't part of my childhood bookshelf. Don't judge. That being said, I may be the best (or worst) audience for Spike Jonze's beautifully audacious and sadly flawed film adaptation. On the one hand, I don't have a deep-rooted affection for the source material, so I don't approach the original text with the unabated reverence that many do. On the other hand, I don't have a deep-rooted affection for the source material, so I don't entirely understand the veneration in the first place. That being said, Mr. Jonze has done yeoman's work bringing Mr. Sendak's wonderfully edgy vision to vivid, CGI-enhanced life. If only he had kept it a short story.
