"Lots of people claim to have a photographic memory, but nobody actually does. Nobody."

"'When we talk about L.A. having a downtown, it's a stretch, because L.A. is so spread out as a city,' Mr. Gehry said in a telephone interview. 'Our downtown probably is a linear one—Wilshire Boulevard or Sunset Boulevard.'"

system overload

I fully expect Tom Cruise to begin spitting sparks, smoke and gears any day now.

bad after bad

"Because I'd like to see the Alien home planet. Or, for that matter, the Predator home planet. I'd like to see if the Aliens have any civilization of their own. I'd like to see what sort of social structure the Predators have. There are a million things about these two franchises that I'd like to see, and I can honestly say that 'what an Alien does inside a human being' is not on that list."

ZZZat's entertainment

I highly recommend chasing A.M. Homes with Wonder Showzen and an Ambien.

how about sex and the city with actual russian trannies

"In their version, the 50-something Grownup Girls live in a Russian country house, not exactly partying in the city where the heat is on, like our Miami mavens. Two of the friends are divorcees, two are widows, and their personalities are supposedly based on the original characters, so it's safe to say there will be some man trouble." Bring it.

giving windows the boot

"But everything about Boot Camp is calibrated to position Windows-on-Mac as the next Classic-style ghetto—a compatibility layer that you might need but that you wish you didn't.... Even the Boot Camp logo ... reinforces this. It's a bastardized variant of Microsoft's Windows logo, sans color, and with the whitespace between the four panels forming a hidden 'X,' à la the hidden arrow in FedEx's logo." Nice.

sweet, sweet klonopin

Minor quibble with last night's Lost: since when is clonazepam an antipsychotic?

crash and burn

My opinion of Paul Haggis' oeuvre is so low-vre that I actually bought this phony April Fool's item.
