Pajiba Love

A list of “21 good books that need to be great films” — or, more realistically, “21 good books that haven’t been bastardized and ruined by Hollywood yet.” (A.V. Club)

Got a mild physical deformity? Well, hide in your basements no longer, freaks — for Star Trek wants you! (Agent Bedhead)

Nicole Kidman tries her darndest to contort that face of hers into some sort of expression at the CMAs. (WIMB)

Whatever. As long as the birth control pill keeps me from getting pregnant I don’t care if it makes me grow a tail. (Feministing)

I had no idea there was such subtext to Curious George. (Whoa, Camel!)

The craziest story you’ll ever hear about Conan O’Brien, a priest and stalking. (Celebslam)

It’s about time something comes along to burn the image of Screech “porking” out of our collective brains and imaginations. Fabulous! (Yeeeah!)

Michael Jackson wearing a NY Yankees cap, Dracula cape and sparkly vest the way only Michael Jackson can. (IDLYITW)

“Why don’t you have a seat over there…” This time, a former children’s services lawyer gets caught with his pants down. Well, not literally, thank heavens. (QuizLaw)

What the Paranoia Terror Level up to today? (The Liberal Avenger)

Normally I would give Vermillion shit for making such brazen demands. However I’ll let it slide this time, because this product needs to be made, STAT — after the jump.

Litely, it really DOES EXIST. That was an actual commercial for it.

I couldn't agree more about The Long Walk. Have been recommending that little gem since I was 12 to pretty much anyone I know who has ears. I bet that within 5 years I'll see a trailer for it likely produced by Bruckheimer and directed by Bay. If that happens, I may just be forced to kill again.

Having Sam Raimi do the Hobbit sounds like single worst idea in like, ever.

Well that just made Christmas shopping a lot easier this year. But question: what if it's the lower portion of the seat belt that causes discomfort? Do they make Vajiddy Bears as well as Tiddy Bears?

V -- Shutdafuggup! For serious? I literally cannot even wear tank tops in the summer because my seatbelt chafes my collarbone so much. I would wear that fucking stupid thing on my tidder in a heartbeat.

A Jonathon Strange and Mr. Norrell movie would be very hard to pull off because the footnotes are so integral to the overall experience. I think it could be done though. But the idea if Tim Burton doing it makes my brain hurt. I like Burton a lot but I don't think his style lends itself well to the understated style of the book.

I'll reserve judgement on Long Walk until I see The Mist. If Darabont doesn't screw that up, I'll let myself hope.

I'm with you Perfect, if either of those two nameless schmucks have anything to do with a film version of Long Walk, they should pray for grim death, which is not far off.

Anyone know if the new shiny version of The Bachman Books contains "Rage" in it? It's probably one of the best school shooting stories ever written. But I heard that King refuses to allow anyone the rights, and banned it from future publication. Did Stevey Speedbump see the error of his folly?

Okay, it's not exactly teddy bear-shaped, but a similar product is carried by any decent Asian market/shopping mall (I own one). It's a piece of fabric with velcro on the side. The one I have happen to be light brown (now faded to yellow) with a teddy bear face stitched on.

Curious George is actually pretty odd. At the end of the first one, George was supposed to live at the zoo, but then he lived with the Man in the Yellow Hat...for some reason. My nephew seems to like the one where he visits the hospital because he eats a puzzle piece, and then the Moron in the Yellow Hat takes him to a human hospital for treatment in the children's ward. Some people shouldn't own monkeys.

I really didn't believe until I dialed the 1-800 number... wow really? And you had to call it a "tiddy bear"?

["Do they make Vajiddy Bears as well as Tiddy Bears?"

My response: (and I want royalties if they make this ;) Call it Testiclitty Bears. Could that be considered "gender Neutral"?
