I rise from the dead simply to show people a funny: "My Blackberry Is Not Working"
I don't often see sketch comedy so funny that British actors are betraying smiles.
EDIT: Well, while I'm up and about anyway, I'll give y'all a movie review too. True Grit was a mix of good stuff and meh stuff. The humor was very well done and dry as a mummy. The actors performed their very limited roles excellently. One high point there was Bridges' portrayal in a scene where his character is quite drunk and trying to prove what a great shot he is. I enjoyed the voice acting and accents, though I have no idea how 'period' they were. There was almost no characterization despite the title that implied profound character (e.g. about two thirds of the sentences uttered by the Texas Ranger were made to defend or glorify the Texas Rangers rather than to make a more real person). Props, costuming and sets all seemed too clean and prepared, removing some suspension of disbelief and cheapening the theme of "life on the trail will show you if you've got grit". It's not one I'd buy, but it was fun to see once.
