Random things.

-This is a great headline. On the ESPN.com front page, it says somewhere in the middle of the headlines "Favre 'may not' be up for all 16 Vikings games.' It was a fantastic way to get my attention. Suddenly I was filled with so much hope that the headline would then lead to an article about how Favre might consider retiring during the middle of the season, then decide to come back a few games later. Which would probably make the season, for the record.

Unfortunately when you actually click on the link the story within is about how Favre might not be durable enough to play all the games. Which isn't as cool.

But still. This is going to be a fun season for the Vikings. Seriously, win or lose, I can't imagine not feeling somewhat OK. Cause if the Vikings win... well, the Vikings win. But if they lose, I can spend all my time complaining about how Tarvaris Jackson would be a better fit than Brett Favre.

And this will be the only season ever in which I could possibly make that claim.

Bam. Teaser trailer for something that apparently is building good steam towards the Oscar season. It has a nice rainy-day feel to it.

1) I saw the book at a garage sale today. I was like "hey! That book is about to come out as a film and everything! Maybe I should get it!" But then I realized I probably wouldn't read it, and if I bought it, didn't read it, and then went to go see the movie, the book would probably torment and ridicule me for being a lazy ADD jack*** who can't be bothered with reading. Although if I didn't buy it, it'd be resulting in the same outcome (not reading the book), so maybe my guilt would be that I'd be needlessly spending money.

2) Didn't really care for Thank You For Smoking. Enjoyed what he did with Juno (although like many decent human beings, was annoyed somewhat with the script). So it's great that people are getting behind a dude with a long career ahead of him, but I'm not completely convinced he's the second coming of *insert whatever here*

Dr. Parnassus trailer

Hmm.

Needs more Tom Waits.

Also, Heath Ledger is in this movie.

Heath Ledger is dead.

Did you know that?
