It appears that whatever it is that falls from the sky in the movie is expected to crash into a pool. Which is why Daniel Craig has to take his clothes off while investigating. Works for me. Via Slashfilm.
Mmmmm ... "moist heat." I'd be all over this, except I don't have a microwave oven because I've never understood the purpose of microwave ovens. So, I guess I'll have to go without the rockin' goodness of unknown-fibre comfort.
There are some news about David Beckham not going to France to play because Mrs. Beckham wants to stay in L.A. or something, but I got distracted by these photos from his new campaign for H&M.
Just one of the many, many ways their lives are not like ours. (For Christmas this year, for example, the sweetie and I shared the purchase of a new stove. I know. Exciting). Page Six has this:
"Angelina Jolie must have had a hard time putting a bow on her Christmas present for Brad Pitt. The "Land of Blood and Honey" director gifted her longtime partner with a waterfall in California, as well as its surrounding land. Sources say that the gift, given for the holidays as well as for Pitt's 48th birthday, was meant to invoke Frank Lloyd Wright's classic house, Fallingwater. Pitt and Jolie visited the 1935 home, built over a waterfall, in 2006. Pitt allegedly had been itching to see it ever since reading about it in an architectural history class in college. "Brad has always loved Fallingwater and his first trip there was unforgettable," a source told The Daily Mail. "Angelina wanted to get him something incredibly special and, because she knows how much he loves architecture, she thought this would be perfect." According to the source, the idea is for Pitt to design a home to sit on the property."
Oooh, this is a perfect excuse to remind you of the excellent Tumblr, Selleck Waterfall Sandwich. There is - BONUS-TIME! - even one of Fallingwater. Sometimes things just converge and come together. It's a beautiful time we live in:
If you're like me, you probably still haven't gotten around to buying presents for people you fundamentally and actively dislike. Well, here is your chance to get those transactions taken care of with an easily placed order for a box of DVDs at ElvisFoundAlive.com. It's the kind of opportunity that comes along once in a life-time. And did you know that it's Obama's fault Elvis hasn't been able to restart his career? An outrage that you will learn more about by watching this movie over and over. Thank you, director Joel Gilbert, for telling the truth.
"ELVIS has been FOUND, ALIVE! After visiting Graceland, Director Joel Gilbert made a Freedom of Information Act request for US government files on Elvis Presley. Incredibly, documents arrived from the FBI revealing an address for Federal Agent "Jon Burrows," Elvis' 1970's alias, in Simi Valley, California. After a brief confrontation, Elvis agreed to chronicle the secret history of his life and "death" in an exclusive interview. In Elvis Found Alive, Elvis reflects on his early life and career, and describes his admiration for his look-alike, comic book hero Captain Marvel Jr. He explains that social unrest in the late 1960's and terrorism by the Weather Underground drove him to ask President Nixon to make him a Federal Agent. "If I could help save America, maybe it was my true destiny that God had prepared me for." Elvis reveals that he battled Weatherman Bill Ayers and the Mafia crime families during the 1970's, leading to a faked death to go undercover. What followed was a long struggle to return to his singing career, and an Obama administration that is preventing it to this day. Elvis Presley remains the single most influential and respected figure in the history of Rock and Roll music. Today he is a symbol of America, as recognizable as the flag. Get ready, he's back!"
And if you're not yet convinced this movie is for you, consider this excerpt from a Flickhead review of Joel Gilbert's Paul McCartney Really is Dead: The Last Testament of George Harrison: "Simultaneously boring, offensive and pointless — a trifecta seldom achieved by any but the most talentless or delusional — Joel Gilbert’s Paul McCartney Really is Dead: The Last Testament of George Harrison should have been good for a few laughs and some enjoyable nostalgia for those of us decrepit enough to remember the big “Paul is Dead” sensation of 1969. Instead, it’s a waste of time and, should you be foolish enough to buy it, money. As my 11 year old best friend Jimmy used to say in 1969, it bites the hairy kazoo."
Oh, the cuteness. This - via The Daily Mail - is Romy and her 15 brand-new puppies. Usually setters have eight or nine per litter. (Thank you, Garnet).
"So overwhelming is the boisterous brood that owners Natasha White and Alicia Copping, both 28, are working on a 24-hour shift pattern to help three-year-old Romy feed the ten girls and five boys. Miss White, a qualified vet and dog breeder, said: ‘There is a particular greedy one. She wakes up in between feeds screaming for more milk. ‘We did a scan when Romy was just four weeks pregnant and we thought we saw eight or nine. So you can imagine our shock when she carried on giving birth to more.’ ... 'We were in shock when she kept going. We thought ''oh crikey'' how is she going to get the last few out but she did it.' Exhausted Romy doesn’t have enough milk for all her offspring so Ms Copping and Ms White feed them a milk substitute in a bottle instead. Ms White, a police officer based at Coventry Central Station, said: 'Between us we’re looking after the puppies 24 hours a day. Natasha does the day shifts and I do the nights because I’m used to doing night shifts for work. 'I’ve never helped a dog give birth - my work doesn’t prepare you for something like this.' Ms White said being a mother has come naturally to Romy. She said: 'This is her first litter but she’s such a natural. She knows exactly what to do, she’s a fantastic mum."
Ohh. There's video (with puppy sleeping noises) on the owners' website:
Really. You're so crazy about waffles that you'd risk life and limb to get a cheap, will-break-in-three-weeks waffle maker? Make pancakes instead. Or have a drink and calm down.
