guess I just glossed it because I saw "dog" and "leg" and immediately thought of the scene in Bowfinger in which Steve Martin's dog walks through a parking garage in high heels Read more

This thing about the Church of Scientology is definitely a huge Paul Thomas Anderson movie-promotion conspiracy. Read more

I watched Primary Colors last night and kept thinking about how Billy Bob Thornton really doesn't do justice to the actual James Carville, who seems like the sort of person you would never under any circumstances want to piss off. Read more

...have open arms and are shuffling just like Michael Myers Read more

The book is terrifying...and pretty fucked up. I'm not sure if anyone out there particularly likes Stephen King, but The Shining, 'Salem's Lot and It are all thoroughly scary. Read more

yeah, it's like, once you see a clown hold up a butcher knife and grin murderously, it's probably pretty hard to go back to seeing clowns as friendly Read more

Do people like clowns before reading IT (or seeing them in a horror movie or something) and afterwards find them really creepy? Or have clowns just become inherently creepy? Read more

I sort of inherited this male cat (say hello to the good readers, Mr. Binx) and he is begging for food as I write this. He begged when I first found the Telegraph article and he begged when I wrote this post up. I find that this new information has fundamentally changed the nature of our relationship... Read more

The prestige of being in a notable auteur's film would be attractive, I guess, for someone like Shia LaBeouf whose career has so far been defined by huge studio summer movies. You know, I almost hate to say this, but if he didn't seem to take himself so seriously, Shia could be a good woody allen surrogate. Read more

I kind of don't get why actors are all so eager to work with Lars von Trier, especially when a lot of the stuff they have to do for his movies seems...icky. I'm think if Antichrist in particular, but still. Has it really become that impossible to work with a director who isn't just trying to meet the studio's bottom Read more

Did anyone else buy a lot of dangerous crap on eBay when they were younger? My friend set up a paypal account and used all of his lawn mowing money to buy pellet guns and pepper spray. It was all cheeeaaaaaap, too. Read more

haha, I miss eating those cereals I always mean to buy them at the store and then somebody with a really judgmental brow appears and, humiliated, I grab the instant oatmeal and run away Read more

I'm actually sort of surprised that the box doesn't catch on fire. Do you think General Mills firebug-proofs their cereal boxes so kids don't use them as kindling for forest fires? Read more

I try to tell people about dolphins all the time. They're not exactly mean — they're just really tricky and they love to fuck with you in the water. Read more

That's a good point — heptathlon is way broader. Read more

I guess another big consideration would be how the health of already matured animals will be affected by contraception. I don't know enough (beyond the Times piece) about how different species react to contraception hormones, but if it can really be dangerous to some animals, maybe euthanizing some of the newborns is Read more
