The ff.net thing has been taken down. The culprit would like you to know that 1) he is a boy and 2) his self-confidence has been damaged by your flames. I maintain that the U.S. education system started taking a dive when self-esteem became more important than accomplishment ("Everyone gets a gold star just for showing up! Yay!"). You can draw your own conclusions from that.

(Let the record show that I asked people not to flame, by the way.)

Quick movie news: new Batman Begins pics, including one in which Gary Oldman has apparently borrowed David Thewlis' porno stache and fed it Miracle Gro; a higher-quality version of the new Elektra pic that came out yesterday; and new Decipher ROTK cards with some nice images (more added every day).

Don't forget to get your two-week paid account extension here. (Yay! I don't have to fool with mine until the end of July now!)

Am going back to bed now. Mostly because I can; also because I was up somewhat later than usual drinking with college friends (The Lovely Emily, Valerie, Brett the Vet). Whee!


Breaking news: Marlon Brando dead at 80 in LA hospital; cause of death as yet undisclosed.

Yeah, I can't believe it, either--I mean, on an intellectual level, I'm sort of surprised he made it as long as he did. But--there's just something about getting older and watching everyone in the culture you grew up in slowly fade away.

*mourns*

Oh Cleo - exactly!

Between Cary Grant last year and Brando now... feelslike all the men I grew up swooning for besides Han Solo are leaving me! :(

Must go home and atch "Don Juan Demarco". I simply loved Brando in that movie. I want to wake up married to a 60 year old man like that someday.

*lights a few candles and wipes afew tears*

Rest in peace, dear Marlon, great pioneer of swoon gods!
