• Simone Simon's birthday

  Her claim on my imagination, however, comes from her role as Belle, the demon/succubus from "over the mountain" in The Devil and Daniel Webster from 1941. There has never been a more evil sexy character on a movie screen.

• Kill Bill Resistance is futile

  There's a lot here to sift out, so it's hard telling what to think of them right away. However, he's got a lot of things going on here. These are very ambitious movies, and he's certainly done a lot of things right. Quentin Tarantino is very good at what he does.

Culture

• Bitch badly needs a whackin'

  He's alive why? This guy, and any self-identified followers need to be taken out with extreme prejudice. If what al-Sadr's doing won't get you squished like a bug, then it's pretty much open season to screw with Americans at will.

  I know it's a sucker's game parsing George W. Bush's alleged "sentences" for meaning -- he is, after all, virtually illiterate
