  • Did you know ANGELS AND DEMONS involves the pope parachuting from the sky riding out the concussion wave of an anti-matter bomb? REALLY. #

  • I've been at work about 3 hours now. That means my sweater's been on inside-out for about 3 hours. Yes, I'm a real grown up and everything. #

  • Sorcerer's Apprentice looks like another Nicolas Cage CLASSIC: http://bit.ly/6yH9N4 #
  • From certain unflattering angles, Anna Kendrick looks like SNLs Seth Meyers. That bothers me greatly. #

  • Viet joint opening in Beverly Hills called… 9021PHO. I wonder how Absolutely Phobulous and Pho Show feel about this. #
  • Managed to oversleep by an hour. My new alarm clock is completely useless against my hibernation skills. #
  • My software trainer has a giant moustache and some soul glo going on. It's like learning from AC Green. #
  • Taiwan has cracked the case of Tiger Woods with sophisticated computer simulations http://bit.ly/4Lzg5G #
  • THE LEGION OF EXTRAORDINARY DANCERS looks like Heroes with dancing instead of superpowers. Baffling. http://thelxd.com/ #
