Support the Spiggott fund - buy Bedazzled today!
Bedazzled comes out on DVD today in the United States! If you're an American who's interested, then you need to get out there and purchase it. (I ordered it on Amazon.com in advance, so it should be at my house in a few days, although I don't get to watch it until Easter. Am I the only one who sees the irony of getting a movie about Satan George Spiggott on Easter?)
I was at my friend's house for dinner last night, and one of her relatives had seen Peter and Dudley live on Broadway in a production of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. What I wouldn't do to see that...She said they were hilarious, though, which is, of course, to be expected. I'm extremely jealous. Why do they have to be dead?
By the way, if you can't read the icon, it says, "My grandfather loves me." I made it quickly on a whim the other night, so it could be a bit better. Eh, it's Marco (and his legendary grandfather), so I'm still happy.
EDIT: The best Sharpe fic I have ever read. I was lucky to find it again. It's just brilliantly funny (especially what Harris and Cooper are doing in the background).
EDIT 2:
There is a long story behind nearly everything on this list, I assure you.
~ Peter Cook vs. Dane Cook (because we just need to prove that Peter is funnier by a mile)
~ Peter Cook vs. Liz Hurley (because we just need to prove that Peter played the better Satan)
~ Peter Cook vs. David Frost (because we just need to prove that Peter was the better satirist)
~ Dudley Moore vs. Liberace (because we...never mind, that was just me being silly)
~ Itzhak Perlman vs. Yo-Yo Ma (snickers to herself)
~ Eva Unit 01 vs. Optimus Prime
~ Edward Elric vs. Dudley Moore (short people killing each other apparently makes for good deathmatch viewing)
~ Justin Timberlake vs. Gackt
~ Itzhak Perlman vs. Uryuu Ishida (go to FF.net and search for 'Favorite Interruption')
~ Miki Fujimoto vs. Peter Cook (another Battle of the Satans)
~ Peter Cook, comedian vs. Peter Cook, the Cambridge Rapist (this one is best left undiscussed)
~ Tucker Carlson vs. Jon Stewart
~ Bill O'Reilly vs. Stephen Colbert
~ Heather Mills vs. Sanjaya Malakar
~ Bill O'Reilly vs. Keith Olbermann
~ Anderson Cooper (no relation to Francis) vs. Wendy Blitzstein Wolf Blitzer
~ A melee featuring all of the potential fathers of Anna Nicole Suck's Smith's baby (a.k.a. every male who has ever existed, including those who are dead, homosexual and virginal due to test tube baby technology)
EDIT 3:
I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful, baby
And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry, baby
And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
-Music pause-
And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign
I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly, baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chicken shit
I'm sick but I'm pretty, baby
And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing a piano
And what it all comes down to my friends, yeah
Is that everything is just fine fine fine
Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab
I mean, she even mentions being short and the piano bit. And that's pretty creepy.
