Ah now there was one of my startling realizations:

Shredder and Wil Smith's Uncle Phil played by the same guy!

... OH. MY. GOD.

He's done a lot of voice work; he was also Jim Rhodes/War Machine on the 90s Iron Man cartoon.

Startling realization:
I am completely convinced that in the future, Shia Labouf (I don't know how to spell his name) will find himself in the director's chair. I just realized it. Whether he'll be making good or bad films, he'll be directing. It's just a feeling.

I just realized that "Shia LaBeouf" is NOT, in fact, French for "show me the beef."

If you went up to a frenchman and asked what Shia Labouf meant, he'd either pass out of clot you.

Wait, he would send out thousands of platelets to your location and cause them to stick onto you and harden until the bleeding stopped?

I'm confused.

Look, any reasonably blunt word can be used to mean "hitting someone with your fist."

French people are weird.

After observing that:

A) Andie McDowell is now considered too old to be a film love interest for Hugh Grant, and

B) that Drew Barrymore is now considered the right age to be a film love interest for Hugh Grant,

I've come to the disturbing realization that

C) Dakota Fanning will one day be a film love interest for Hugh Grant.

News outlets are reporting the Lance Armstrong/Olsen twin (I forget which one) romance like this is perfectly normal....  Or Demi Moore/Ashton Kutcher....

Seriously, there has to be some limit.

Alice Cooper's stage act is based on vaudeville.  He regularly uses vaudevillian routines as setups and transitions for songs, just modified slightly to make them darker, but not disguising their comic value.  Each show also ends with a mock execution of Alice, which is always a vaudeville style stage magic trick, like a trick guillotine.

When I heard Alice talking about this on his radio show once, it made sense to me.  The part that shocked me was when he talked about George Burns coming to his shows and recognizing the routines, then bringing his old friends to the shows to enjoy them too.

George Burns was an Alice Cooper fan!   :scared:

If you haven't had a chance....and you can find a copy.....read "Billion Dollar Baby" by Bob Greene.

I know everyone hates him for "Wired"....but that's probably because the truth hurt.

(damn, I wish I still had my copy....$57?!?!?!)

Did you know Alice Cooper owns a piece of the Friendly's restaurant chain?

Didn't Bob Woodward write Wired?

You're right.

That's weird.  I could swear that people close to Belushi were pissed off at Bob Greene for something.  That Greene had become friends with Belushi while Belushi was still with Second City and that Greene had told a lot of tales out of school.....

Maybe to Woodward?

Makes me wish there were some more Friendly's around here.  Damn it, I want ice cream now.
