Movie Madness

A friend of mine went to see Troy last week. He now regrets that decision. He's a history and Greek mythology buff and was quite annoyed at the things they changed for the movie. From what I've heard, most other people aren't even aware that anything was changed. I wouldn't be surprised if most people weren't aware that it's not a new story.

Which got me thinking (and that's always dangerous)…

Maybe it's time for Titanic II: The Second Voyage. I can see it now… A couple days after the first movie ends, a salvage crew manages to bring the Titanic back to the surface and tow it to port for repairs. As the time approaches to re-launch it the controversy builds. Most people are afraid to sail on her. Others are saying it's a bad idea to even try and they should have never re-built the ship. But, as the hero points out, "If we don't sail this ship again… THE ICEBERGS WIN!!!"

I could sell this… and that's what scares me.

Ew?

I've never had Buffalo Chicken Pizza, and I'll admit it sounds a bit untraditional, but it seems like it might be rather tasty -- certainly not deserving of an "EW!"

Conspicuous consumption

BBC NEWS | Americas | Diners chew over $1,000 omelette

I'm tempted to say "only in America" but it seems the only one to have bought this so far (at least at the time the article was written) is British. Picky details like that notwithstanding, I'm sure it elevates our image in the rest of the world to see such extravagant items on our menus.

It's good to know that whole world hunger thing has finally been solved.

(Okay, someone help me out here. I'm sure the French or Japanese can challenge or beat this. Find me some examples of even more wastefully overpriced cuisine somewhere else in the world.)
