U.S. Men’s Water Polo win silver.
While this might sound like a dissapointment, they were ranked 9th in the world coming into the tournament. Congrats to Rick Merlo. Maybe it was the video (which looked suprising like the Visa “Go World” commercials though Curt’s came first.)
What Bush and Batman Have in Common
I don’t necessarily agree with the article, but it’s an interesting read.
I didn’t walk away form the movie believing it was a bastion of conservative and moral principles. However, I did find myself thinking about the lack of liberalism expressed in the film. I guess I’m so used to hearing President Bush quotes and 9/11/War on Terror references in every movie I see now (including this one, unfortunately), that I was slightly taken back that Batman wasn’t this anti-establishment hero that never had to kill* and Joker wasn’t the leader of a religious organization looking to take away your abortion rights.
I think art raises great questions, it’s not always the best place to seek answers.
What do you guys think?

All the Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
Layin’ in the sun,
Talkin’ ’bout the things
They woulda coulda shoulda done…
But those Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
All ran away and hid
From one little Did.
Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda by Shel Silverstein
This is rumored to be a clip from Where the Wild Things Are directed by Spike Jonze who also directed this. It seems to simply be a camera test, because the audio/dialog is pretty poor.
The costumes are pretty great so far (if this is in fact from the movie).
You think asking the girl who cuts my hair to make me look like Robert Redford from Butch Cassidy is too specific?
Forget buying expensive clothes and toys to make a man feel good. Give me a heavy mustache that curls down slightly around the lip and some greasy long gunfightin’ hair. Suddenly I want the Rib and Chop House.
