Remember 17 years ago (Christ, has it been that long?) when Robin Hood came out and did the 'follow an arrow in flight' camera trick a couple times? From there to Wanted curving the path of bullets over and over again. This movie should have been better, but it wasn't unwatchable.
I give good gifts to my wife. It's not bragging if it's true and all. I spend all year listening carefully, on the look out for hints. Then, come gift time, BAM, perfect gifts.
This year, however, was a bloodbath, a total decimation. I got her 2 necklaces and a dress and she couldn't get them out of the house fast enough. They were at the post office first thing Friday morning on their way back. I'm choosing to take it in stride, though, and blaming the current administration. I'm going to regroup and retool for next year. And come holiday season next year, BAM, perfect gifts.
Esquire seems to be cycling through a bottomless pit of "What I've Learned" features. Despite that they seem to be written to be SEO linkbait, I like short articles with small paraghraphs. I liked this one with Chuck Klosterman.

We've been getting hits to my Demetri Martin better than Dane Cook post with the keyword 'stolen joke' so I thought I'd check it out. Lo and behold!
While I think this it's possible this is a case of what Malcolm Gladwell wrote about earlier this year (the "phenomenon of simultaneous discovery—what science historians call “multiples”"), I'm not inclined to give Dane Cook the benefit of the doubt. That's what he gets for those "There's only one OCTOBER" commercials in '07. I'll never forgive him.
Another birthday present, another bacon related treat. I haven't had it yet, but I bet it tastes syrupy and smoky. We'll see how it goes. Thanks, Ally!
A friend gave me bacon mints for my birthday. While expected just a bacon flavored candy, I was surprised to find so much more. There's actually some mint in there - smoky, salty mint. Thanks, Will!
In the Esquire article about Roger Ebert a few weeks back, Ebert mentioned his interview interview with Lee Marvin as one of his favorites, and now they've republished it online.
