http://www.someecards.com/upload/april_fools_day/i_really_wish_i_didnt.html Thanks to Mrs. Great Weekend Gloater for the reminder that today is April Fool’s Day, which I celebrate by avoiding all blogs and news outlets, and giving myself over to full cynicism capacity. I’ll be a sizzling, popping puddle of bile by noon.

100 Best Movie Lines in 200 Seconds | Liquid Generation
http://www.liquidgeneration.com/Media/Videos/LG_Originals/Top_10_Lists/100_Best_Movie_Lines_in_200_Seconds/ Cute concept, but in the first 17 seconds I saw Adam Sandler, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Mel Brooks and Chris Farley, amongst other regrettable “stars”. Their idea of best movie lines does not match my idea of best movie lines.

http://www.cinemaroll.com/Cinemarolling/Making-Movies-Beyond-the-Call-of-Duty.456075 Crappy list of actors who went “Beyond the Call of Duty” in preparing for screen roles, by doing things such as eating bugs or doing patrol rounds with cops.
