DVD Day

Big week. The Dr. Strange direct-to-DVD animated movie looks really good. There are new two-disk editions of Taxi Driver and the Branagh Hamlet. For the musicians and inventors and fans thereof, there's the American Masters episode from a few months ago, Les Paul - Chasing Sound. But the really big 'uns are the newly restored two-disk versions of The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.

Anything on your video horizon?

Baby Steps

LJ/6A is attempting to clarify their position on non-photographic art.

It's a beginning. I think a screwed-up beginning, because they are so veddy veddy concerned about Teh Evil Child Pr0n, especially the Nonexistent Children Variation. But a beginning nontheless.

Thoughts?

Happy Birthday, huskiebear

Ohhhh, dat Pest. One of the bestest people I know, my bestest friend in the whole entire universe. Literally one of the people I could not do without. So much love, so many hugs. And bears. Lots and lots of bears.

The FuMP Sideshow

Busy morning. New goodie at The Funny Music Project: The Sideshow! See, we've had many people submit songs, and our membership is already kinda tight... so we thought, "Let's put up an area where everybody can submit stuff".

The first offering, "Sheep In The Morning" by TV's Kyle, is too damn catchy for its own good.

Holy Cow

One of the classic acts of baseball has left us. Phil Rizzuto, five-time All-Star shortstop for the New York Yankees and legendary broadcaster, has passed away at the age of 89.

In his honor, let's [a] recall our favorite baseball calls -- mine would be Ernie Harwell's "Let's listen to the bedlam, here at Tiger Stadium!" when the Tigers won the pennant in 1968 -- and [b] cue up Meat Loaf's "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" (see, you do know what he sounds like).
