Things That I Found Out About And Am Now Greatly Amused by
1. Alvin and the Chipmunks New Album "Undeniable" in which the Chipmunks sing "Livin' On A Prayer" and "Don't Stop Believin'." Oh, my God.

2. Your choice of Jack Bauer or CTU iPod at the Fox Shop. Oh my God, are you kidding me?

3. This will be a longer story. I watched a movie called "Sayonara" with Marlon Brando and Ricardo Montalban pretending to be Japanese. Hold on. It gets better. The plot of this film is that it's set during the Korean War and Marlon Brando is an American pilot who falls in love with a Takarazuka actress. It's sort of a melodrama and Marlon's friend is also married to a Japanese woman and let's just say I knew we were in trouble when his buddy got orders to leave Japan (and his wife) and then we went to the show with the suicidal puppets. (Also, why is it that every time I see something set in Japan and somebody just mentions suicide, I know there will be corpses?) Anyway, Takarazuka as I can gather and I will tag Japanese expert friends to shed light on this is a form of musical theater performed entirely by women that seems to be the most insane Gene Kelly movie musical sequence you can think of times a thousand. They do adaptations of well known works and some of them I followed, like Gone With The Wind, I could see how the Japanese could make a musical of that. Then, I found out they did an adaptation of JFK. That's right, the film JFK by Oliver Stone. The Japanese musical version of Oliver Stone's JFK. All I can think about now is a line of dancers tap dancing to a chorus of "Back and to the left, back and to the left, magic bullet, magic bullet." Is that just me who wishes I had seen that?
Also interesting to watch in this movie was the difference between Marlon Brando's Method Acting and Shirley Yamaguchi's Japanese theatrical training method, I guess. Not to say she wasn't very good, but the difference between the two styles was just too huge to ignore.
4. Wine gums. Anyone had them? Are they good?
