Hum...somehow, I don't think Jared Leto is doing 'Housewives', because a newsletter that I get from his band (30 Seconds to Mars) said that he's now working off the pounds because they are on tour now. Unless they film after the tour is over...

Da Vinci's Brown Testifies.

Okay, I need new glasses, but how did I manage to read that as 'Dan Brown's Testicles'?

I'm sorry, but I couldn't stop laughing at comment for something like 10 minutes. XD

I will slaughter Roger Ebert. With spoons.

In my apartment, Roger Ebert is known as The Man. Why? Well, my pool boy started it, but for the most part I join in because I find his reviews to be both clever and truthsome. There's a reason why he's so tremendously popular. I especially enjoy it when he tears down a movie that deserves it. I looked forward to the ridicule that was sure to come to the film She's The Man, and the sad, lonely half-star that I was sure it would richly earn. I arrived home, read the review for V for Vendetta, and clicked on the link immediately below.

Cut to two minutes later, me bursting into the living room. "I'm gonna KILL him." I read the review aloud to my perplexed pool boy. The puerile phrasing and contradictions were bad enough, but that Roger Ebert - a man who had garnered at least a smidgen of respect from me - found merit in such a movie ... it is, for all intents and purposes, as though someone deemed the Mona Lisa 'not modern enough' and painted a Hanson t-shirt on her.

I have no objection to echoing timeless themes. The fact that The

The thing you have to understand about Ebert--who I also adore 85% of the time--is that he has a blind spot. And that this blind spot is labeled "boobies." All bets are off when boobies are involved (check both his Tomb Raider reviews if you don't believe me), and while I'm sure as hell not going to see the movie to check, Amanda Bynes may have laid some breasticular hoodoo on him.

Dear god, woman, you're right! "Here is a movie so monumentally silly, yet so wondrous to look at, that only a churl could find fault." On one hand, I'd really like to slap the bejeezus out of him for being so patently male. On the other, I too - a registered girl - have been blinded by boobies in the past (namely, the boobies of an ex who turned out to be a Scary Drunk and frightened the living daylights out of my little brother. That's what I get for bringing them home.)

Also, you win me for use of the words 'breasticular hoodoo.' I'm sure you get a lot of fangirling, but I'll use this chance to get my two cents in, as well. Namely, that you rock. Hardcore. I laughed myself to tears over your Troy parody, the first I ever read. And your Phantom parody totally made the movie for me. It lightened what would otherwise have been a rather stifling and overdramatic film, Emmy Rossum's thighs or no Emmy Rossum's thighs. My hat's off to you, darling
