Random thoughts:

I've got a feeling Tomb Raider will sink fast. It's been getting a lot of negative marks from both reviewers and random people, not to mention that (according to some random review I've read that I've forgotten where it's from) the heroine doesn't even jiggle enough to please teenagers.

Atlantis did a little weaker than expected, but at least it topped Shrek. Hopefully it'll have reasonably long legs at the box office.

I'm somewhat relieved that Titanic II... excuse me, Pearl Harbor, isn't becoming an absolute smash hit.

That's the best thing I've heard about it so far.

Just try to imagine a flesh-and-blood woman with the circumferences of the computer-generated Lara.

Pretty danged freakish, eh?

Gracias to a lot of padding, a tight suit, and a sports bra. As the wife of a poster at another board I frequent observed, if those things were real, they'd smack Laura in the face when she ran.

The scary thing is, I don't need to. Not in a world with Pamela Lee.

On his show, Howard Stern brought in several female exotic dancers who had had themselves augmented to massive proportions. Fred Norris played the sound of cows mooing as they entered the studio. One in particular interested me most; she was the largest of the lot, and the one who most enjoyed her size (the others said they'd done it just for their career and would have the implants removed after they quit dancing. Her name was--snicker--Jessy James.

Then again, Angela Jolie is a bit of a kook anyway. Didn't she kiss her brother full on the mouth onstage after he won some sort of award? "I am so in love with my brother right now," she purred, causing some to wonder if they were a little too close for siblings....

Oh, you haven't heard the half of it. She and Billy Bob each wear a vial of the other's blood. They want to adopt a beaver. They want to put a trailer on their property for no apparent reason. And, yes, they've drunk each other's blood. It's all in this week's Rolling Stone if you think I'm making it up...
