Trunk Monkey: a revolutionary idea (via Blort)

Congo Kid, a very useful restaurant review site for London, arrived in my mailbox a bit after the fact, but should come in handy for my next trip. Read the review of Belgo Centraal. Funny, I don't recall any monk's habits, just little pink elephants on the sides of my beer glass.

I saw the trailer for Lemony Snicket: a Series of Unfortunate Events before the Harry Potter movie last Sunday. I don't know about you, but I think that Jim Carrey is going to suck hugely in the role of Count Olaf. Oh, he looks the part, but his constant mugging is going to ruin the character. [sigh] If only Vincent Price were to become undead.

after seeing the trailer i definately won't be seeing the film. the trailer makes it look like the film is all about jim carey, and maybe the film is. but the book certainly wasn't. the kids look really bad. not at all the way they were portrayed in the books.

I agree, william. Hollywood is all about stoking massive egos like Carrey's.
