On Saturday, it was Grace's debut at the ComedyClub4Kids. She was awesome.



And here is host Iain Stirling, giggling over it. As well he might.

Andrew Collins (andrew_collings) was sent to review Red Riding Hood this week. He did not really enjoy it, neither the screening nor the movie itself.

Seyfried looks pretty enough in her red riding hood but the soap opera storyline about who’s-the-real-daddy? isn’t enough to prop up 100 minutes of mediaeval running about with flaming torches and hiding in ( Read more... )

I read the journal of PZ Myers, American biology professor and professional loudmouth. He's totally okay with that. It's online and everything.

He was particularly entertaining about the Palin hand-note prompt incident. More so even that White House spokeman starting a briefing by carefully showing his own hand notes - "hope"! "change"! - the next ( Read more... )
