And I Am Telling You...
I've got nothing...
But I did run into this absolutely irrelevant news story that made me laugh out loud.
American Flight 1053, from Washington Reagan National Airport and bound for Dallas/Fort Worth, made an emergency landing here after passengers reported smelling struck matches, said Lynne Lowrance, a spokeswoman for the Nashville International Airport Authority.

Yes, and Paul Greengrass has started pre-production on the real-time motion picture of this harrowing tale.

"Close Cover Before Striking" The heart-pounding true story of the brave crew and passengers of American 1053 and the flight they will never forget. Neither will you.

Is D-Po embargo on A-PO or no show in Bermudo?

I was in The Muda last week and will see the Melayan film later this week.

The in-flight movie was a real stinker?

Another example of how gas keeps rising.

That's the silliest thing I've read all day.

And I Am Smelling You...
Ladies and gentlemen. Fasten your seatbelts. We are heading into a rough patch of flatulence.

By the way, check out metacritic. Blood Diamond's got a 77, Babel's got 69 and Apocalypto's got a 73. What's up with that/

What's up with that is Blood Diamond and Apocalypto each only have 6 reviews, compared with Babel's 37.

Haha... anytime soon, we'll probably have planes making emergency landings when they accidentally overheat in-flight meals or the coffee pot. Are we really getting this paranoia? Depressing.

American paranoia has been portrayed in films quite frecuently... most recently (and accurately) in Babel (well, not just gringos there, also brits).
Not just depressing, sad!

A fart joke waiting to happen.

I see that the National Board of Review has posted their awards for the year.

It seems to me that Eastwood and Letters from Iwo Jima moving up in the race is better for Bill Condon than anyone else. If the race shifts from being a Dreamgirls-Iwo Jima horse race (in media perception at least) instead of being Dreamgirls in front, ahead of the rest of the pack, then all of a sudden the directorial race is Condon-Eastwood instead of Condon-Scorsese. And I think that in a Condon-Eastwood race, Condon would have the edge since why would they give Clint yet another award. So Scorsese's chances might be hurt now.
