It's Sunday January the 13 around 8:05PM and

Tidbits of Monday Ridiculousness:

Last weekend I watched the entire informercial for the Magic Bullet Countertop Magician. It was too hard to turn away. This is what happens when you don't change channels while watching Sunday morning news shows. This week it was the one for US Gold. Believe you me, knowing about "Nuclear threats from Iran & Korea" totally makes we want to buy gold. Duh.

This is good news. Jeffrey Wells on Cloverfield: "This movie is REM madness. It is Guillermo del Toro on a tab of brown acid with a little crack thrown in."

Hoping to convince her to post a full fledge rant about Atonement I give you not-very-often-contributing editor Josee's reaction via text to the news of it winning the Best Drama Golden Globe: "Serious? Son of a bitch."


Ana Marie Cox's Twitter from the campaign trail is worth the read for gems like, "There was a McCain event today at Andiamos Celebrity Showroom: "Vegas-style dinner theater with a taste of Detroit."

Certainly readiing this sentence on all of the books about George W. Bush by James Wolcott in the latest Vanity Fair made me crack up: "One exception in the guilt department is John Bolton's Yosemite Sam memoir of his stint as United States representive to the United Nation, Surrender is Not an Option - reading it is like being lectured by a ham sandwich for 450-plus pages."

Which leads us to this amazing part of the terrible movie Hot Rod where a giant Taco fights a giant grilled cheese sandwich. Natch.
