Happy

How about a remake of The Long Good Friday Starring Danny De Vito?

While having this on one's resume might be an impediment in most circumstances, it might be a positive boon if one's future employer is also a practitioner of ritual territory marking. One suspect the gentleman in question would fit right in with the IT department of Thomas Kincaid galleries.

Big Brother

Ironic

Anyone remember Apple's iconic "Big Brother" ad?

Unhappy

Another ommission

Still no mention of the Leningrad Cowboys?

Jarheads

I thought they got the name from the practice of putting their heads in Mason Jars. Those that didn't fit were obviously overqualified.

According to the Sun...

...they weigh almost four stone and are growing at a rate of an inch a month. One wonders if that's radius, diameter, or circumference. I was going to ask the IT angle, but computer modeling is definitely needed to predict how soon it'll be before their gravitational field exceeds that of the Earth.

It could be worse.

It could have been a sitz-kebab.

Pint

Someone has to say it...

Clearly Mr. Cent is suffering from Assburger's syndrome.

Yanks for the mammaries

This proves the whole thing is just a tempest in a 'D' cup.

Better send a Wahmbulance

I plan on crying in my green beer over it.

Where would one attach them?

Lycra

Was it only a thumb that was up at the mention of lycra?

This list proves Sturgeon was an optimist.

Maybe the victim had a cycle computer.

Flush him

Trolls are like goldfish. You overfeed them till they float belly up, then you flush them.

WTF?

How do I get a refund...

...on all my so-called Swedish Porn? I bought it thinking it was Swedish, all the blue eyed blondes and all, and it turns out most Swedes are now swarthy Middle Eastern types. Shouldn't there be truth in packaging laws on this sort of thing?

To quote the bard

Twas the most unkindest cut of all.

Well

Was he well hanged, or well hung?

So...

...was it a moving violation?

A quid for the loo my darlings

Rather than moistening the upholstery and carpeting, wouldn't it be easier to use the airsick bags , then hand them to the cabin attendant?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned trotting to the bog.

Mine's the one with the wide mouth pint bottle in the pocket.

Turn your head and iCough

Mine's the one with the jar of Vaseline in the pocket.

My compliments to the editards

Oops, just send my family to replace the Bulgarians in a certain Italian circus.

Hindenburg

Will the next game for the PSP be a Hindenburg flight simulator?

It's a bit spotty

Is that a pimple on Bush's nose, or a nipple?

Fragrant Linux users

Several members of my local Linux Users Group don't shower frequently. It s hard to say whether they violate patents, but if the do, they do it fragrantly.

Yes, they pollute their own air.

View from across the pond

I'm a 50 year old american (lower case to avoid offending British sensibilities) and I enjoyed The Long Good Friday about a quarter century ago, so the stereotypes as to who's seen it aren't quite accurate. I don't recall having any difficulty with the accents, so subtitles aren't required for all americans. When I worked at a theatre that specialized in foreign films, we used to joke that we should provide tape to the customers so their lips wouldn't get tired.

I share the concerns of the others who have commented that the film will be dumbed down so teens in the US (a notoriously thick lot) won't have to think, an activity they seem to have an aversion to. That and camera angles have to be changed every ten seconds to accomodate the attention span of the average USian.

I fully expect the remake to be a debacle, as I've heard the remake of The Wicker Man was. I think I'll watch the original again.
