"We had been working for four years on this project we cherished, and he arrived for two weeks and destroyed everything. Now I can't even give this film to a friend, because I'm ashamed to hold this horrible cover. And I hate this guy. If I see him someplace now, I will kick his balls off." - Michel Gondry on Human Nature (Onion AV Club)

"The city deactivated most of the pedestrian buttons long ago with the emergence of computer-controlled traffic signals, even as an unwitting public continued to push on, according to city Department of Transportation officials. More than 2,500 of the 3,250 walk buttons that still exist function essentially as mechanical placebos, city figures show. Any benefit from them is only imagined."

The Great Gatsbys
"If you're giving something away free, inevitably you're going to draw a lower clientele, which are street people and people who are homeless," says Tony Joseph, co-owner of Gatsby's bar and restaurant.
Joseph suggests the Salvation Army park its van on Gottingen Street, near Uniacke Square. (CBC News - Nova Scotia)
"It's a great spot for them if they're really interested in serving people that are homeless and need free meals," he said during a CBC radio interview. "Mount Grey Park, Maniac Square, there's a lot of poor people down in that area." (Halifax Herald)

Bubba Ho-tep (USA, 2002, R, 92m)
Based on the Bram Stoker Award nominee short story by cult author Joe R. Lansdale, Bubba Ho-tep tells the "true" story of what really did become of Elvis Presley. We find Elvis (Bruce Campbell) as an elderly resident in an East Texas rest home, who switched identities with an Elvis impersonator years before his "death", then missed his chance to switch back. Elvis teams up with Jack (Ossie Davis), a fellow nursing home resident who thinks that he is actually President John F. Kennedy, and the two valiant old codgers sally forth to battle an evil Egyptian entity who has chosen their long term care facility as his happy hunting grounds.

My Bitch's Bitch
A tip of the hat
I'll keep this simple so you'll be sure to understand. First, to all the morons who insist on wearing a toque indoors: perhaps you don't understand how a toque was designed to work. It's supposed to keep your head warm when it's cold. And where is it mainly cold? That's right, outdoors. So unless you suffer from a rare disorder that prevents you from being able to regulate your own body temperature, TAKE OFF THE STUPID TOQUE INDOORS! YOU LOOK PATHETIC! Secondly, to all those idiots walking around outside these days without a toque: perhaps you don't realize this is Canada and it's winter. I know you're probably very worried about messing up your "funky hairstyle" but it's time you realized that when its -45 degrees out and you're out walking around without a toque, you don't look hip or fashionable. You just look stupid, almost sad really, like you never learned how to properly dress yourself. SO PUT ON A HAT FOR CHRIST'S SAKE! YOU'RE MAKING ME COLD JUST LOOKING AT YOU! Lets review: toques are for outdoors when it's cold....class dismissed. -Toqued off
