One of the many varied weird and wonderful places I regularly visit on the IntarWeb is The Sneeze - "half zine, half blog, half not good with fractions". The author - "Steve" - has an excellently twisted sense of humour that appeals to the weird in me.
And bizarrely, reading his blog reminds me eerily of my other pal Steve whom you may remember from such delights as our garage band, or the Princess Bride Underpants Substitution game.
Anyway today's Sneeze update (which funnily enough I was reading while having a sneezing fit ... hmmm..) is laff-out-loud hilarious. I just couldn't keep it to myself.
Follow the white rabbit and enjoy ...
but that, my children, would be cannibalism
1 comments Published by butercup on Thursday, October 13, 2005 at 9:00 pmOne of the best movie quotes I've heard lately: Johnny Depp as Wacky Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Obviously these bears who ate their owner didn't see the movie. (and on a side note: eeew!)
Johnny Depp really is a fabbo actor. I only recently realised just how excellent he is. Apart from the above-linked excellent IMDB resource, his wikipedia entry shows some more of his coolness. Here's another hint as to the deppth [sic] of his coolness: He's going to play Jean-Dominique Bauby in the film adaptation of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. As Neo would say, "Woah".
Anyway I ranted about movie critics a while back. Last night I managed to watch a whole episode of Margaret and David "At The Movies". I've gotta say, I find myself trusting David a lot more than Margaret. He seems more my style, though being a critic sometimes what he says just makes *no* sense to me.
Last night they reviewed the new Pride and Prejudice, a Russian flick called Night Watch and a South African film called Yesterday. And they have convinced me to check out these films (if they come on for 8 bucks at cinebuzz anyway). There's my 8 cents for yesterday going to good use.
