Jul. 18th, 2004 08:02 amWhat is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
I got that from IMDb, which is apparently posting interesting entertainment links on the front page, including this picture of Nick Lachey wih the most adorable puppy on the planet. (Well, I thought so, anyway.) And either he's gotten puffy or it's just the way he's sitting that's making him look exactly like my cousin Kevin, which is wrong because my cousin Kevin is infinitely cooler than Nick Lachey.
And a little bit of my faith in humanity is restored with the IMDb poll for today, which asks whether studios should stop producing fullscreen DVDs, because two-thirds of the people voting said they should. Oh, God, how I wish they would. I loathe pan-and-scan like you wouldn't believe. And because the clerks at stores tend to simply presume that when you ask for a new DVD, you want a fullscreen version, I keep having to check DVDs twice over to make sure I've gotten the widescreen version, because I've gotten burned a couple of times after getting home and discovering I've bought the fullscreen version. Urgh. "But ... but ... I don't care if you've got those black bars on your screen, you're missing stuff if you watch it fullscreen!" I'll just be over in nerdland by my DVD collection.
While I'm going link-happy, the Sci-Fi Channel admitted its commercials for "The Buried Secret of M. Night Shyamalan" were full of crap. Good. Maybe that means they'll take those annoying things off the air now. (I was really getting sick of hearing, "Oh, my God, how could you do that to him?!" every ten freaking minutes on the radio at work.)
( Cut for political stuff )
EDIT: You know, I hate the fact that my hair is at its nicest the day after I wash it. I'm just saying.
