Bipedal Octopi

Proof again that Cephalopods are the coolest, smartest, and one of the most interesting marine creatures: some species can walk!

Why, why, why?

1. Why did the makers of the new Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy have to make Marvin little and cute? He looks like friggin' Twiggy from Buck Rogers, and that's not a compliment. This movie will suck.

2. Why did the makers of the upcoming film version of A Scanner Darkly (one of my all-time favorite books, BTW) feel they had to do the most clunky and obvious thing in the world and get every friggin' acknowledged user in Hollywood to be in the movie? The film won't be taken seriously, and the story is about as intensly serious as you can get. This movie will suck.

3. Why did they wait until now to release the extended (Alan Smithee) cut of Dune? I can't wait, this movie will rule! Pre-order yours now!

Globetrotting

I got e-mails from both my parents today. Mom's in Tripoli, Libya, helping the schools teach English to 3rd graders, Dad's in Fiji sipping foofy umbrella drinks on the beach.

I never get to do anything fun.
