Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
I find her to be a competent actress, and I’ll even go so far as to say she is “pretty.” If she were naked in my bed, yeah I’d do ‘er alright, but if she got a case of the munchies and asked me to make a midnight run for some sunflower seeds or cigarettes I’d probably kick her out. This is a problem. Andie MacDowell tends to appear in movies from the early 1990’s, in leading roles. Sexual/romantic roles. She’s the woman for whom some guy wants to sacrifice…everything.
Her crinkley forehead and enormous teeth just ruin it for me. I think she’s cast by straight women and gay men. No, a good role for Andie MacDowell is the wife of the eccentric next-door neighbor in some madcap feel-good summer comedy. Or the best-friend of the love-interest…the wallflower girlfriend with the annoying laugh. Someone in Hollywood seems to have been laboring under the delusion that straight guys want to see this woman naked. Groundhog Day doesn’t work — not completely — unless straight guys want to see Rita naked.
The guys at the office don’t think highly of my idea to remake Groundhog Day with Hugh Laurie and Kristin Kruek. Something about an age gap. I fail to see the issue. Other candidates for MacDowell’s replacement:
1. Lauren Graham
2. Zooey Deschanel
3. Kate Bosworth
4. Jessica Biel
5. Elisha Cuthbert
Update: Okay since everyone wants to see the groundhog movie, and while you’re at the store you probably want to pick something else up, I’ve converted the Movies You Ought Not Spoil post into a permanent page. Also added three entries that had been rattling around in the back of my head all along, one of which had to be re-brought to my attention, the other two just kind of gurgled up. I’m sure I’ll keep thinking of more, so this was probably a good move.

Groundhog day is one of my favorite movies. And I think Andie is very pretty.
I kinda like her crinkley face and larger than average teeth — not in and of themselves, but they are a part of an endearing package IMHO. Hey, she was cast across from Bill Murray. Not excactly Pierce Brosnan. It’s a personality movie.
In the alternate “I’m not married” universe, she could lead me into a “roll” any day 😉
