It’s wonderful how the internet connects people when geography, language, and culture have natural divisions.  An artist (and law professor?) at Trinity in Dublin, Fergus Ryan, sent me the above drawing of The Rick of Cahsel in Ireland.

This is my all-time favorite mockery of that movie. And the other one.
 
My “Movies that didn’t happen” page is still one of the most popular pages on this site, thanks to Google Image Search.  Yes, I know that there’s an ontological problem with the title, thank you.  In November of 2003, I stole half of […]

“X-Men 3:  The Last Stand” had the second-highest grossing single-day box office ever yesterday.  I was a part of that.  You’re welcome.  Of the top 20 highest grossing days, they are all fantasy except for “The Passion of the Christ” at number 20.  Mostly Star Wars, Marvel Comics, Harry Potter, Shrek, LOTR, and assorted varieties.

It is 16:29 here in Tokyo (3:31AM in Louisville), and I have explored the terminal.  There was not much to see.  I cannot see any part of the Tokyo skyline from the windows.  Tokyo security was friendly and efficient. 
The flight was longer and worse than expected.  The crew in Louisville made me check my bag […]
