The Time is Now

Michael . Dear Michael .

Of course it's you, who else could they send, who else could be trusted?

I... I know it's a long way and you're ready to go to work... all I'm saying is just wait, just... just wait and please just hear me out because this is not an episode, relapse, fuck-up, it's... I'm begging you Michael. I'm begging you.

Try to make believe this is not just madness because this is not just madness.

Two weeks ago I came out of the building ok, I'm running across 6th avenue there's a car waiting, I've got exactly 38 minutes to get to the airport and I'm dictating. There's this panicked associate sprinting along beside me, scribbling in a notepad, and suddenly she starts screaming, and I realize we're standing in the middle of the street, the light's changed, there's this wall of traffic, serious traffic speeding towards us, and I...

I freeze, I can't move, and I'm suddenly consumed with the overwhelming sensation that I'm covered in some sort of film. It's in my hair, my face... it's like a glaze... a coating, and... at first I thought, oh my god, I know what this is, this is some sort of amniotic - embryonic - fluid.

I'm drenched in afterbirth, I've breached the chrysalis, I've been reborn.

But then the traffic, the stampede, the cars, the trucks, the horns, the screaming and I'm thinking no-no-no, reset, this is not rebirth, this is some kind of giddy illusion of renewal that happens in the final moment before death.

And then I realize no-no-no, this is completely wrong because I look back at the building and I had the most stunning moment of clarity.

I... I... I realized Michael, that I had emerged not from the doors of Kenner, Bach, and Odeen, not through the portals of our vast and powerful law firm, but from the asshole of an organism who's sole function is to excrete the... the... the poison, the ammo, the defoliant necessary for other, larger, more powerful organisms to destroy the miracle of humanity.

And that I had been coated in this patina of shit for the best part of my life. The stench of it and the sting of it would in all likelihood take the rest of my life to undue. And you know what I did? I took a deep cleansing breath and I put that notion aside. I tabled it. I said to myself as clear as this may be, as potent a feeling as this is, as true a thing as I believe I witnessed today, it must wait.

It must stand the test of time, and Michael, the time is now.

27 Dresses

That James Marsden is quite adorable. I never liked him in X-Men, but thought he handled the role of Lois' paramour quite well. And, pretty funny in Enchanted. Here, in 27 Dresses, he played a reporter.

Two words:marry me.

Oh, and that girl that plays Izzie on Grey's wasn't too bad either with the comedic timing.

Grandmother: Must be so hard to watch your younger sister get married before you.
Jane: Yes. Then I remember that I still get to have hot hate sex with random strangers and I feel SO much better!

Dumbledore loves the laddies

Hells yes. And I love these even more so now.

J.K. Rowling outs Hogwarts character

NEW YORK - Harry Potter fans, the rumors are true: Albus Dumbledore, master wizard and Headmaster of Hogwarts, is gay. J.K. Rowling, author of the mega-selling fantasy series that ended last summer, outed the beloved character Friday night while appearing before a full house at Carnegie Hall.

After reading briefly from the final book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," she took questions from audience members.

She was asked by one young fan whether Dumbledore finds "true love."

"Dumbledore is gay," the author responded to gasps and applause.

She then explained that Dumbledore was smitten with rival Gellert Grindelwald, whom he defeated long ago in a battle between good and bad wizards. "Falling in love can blind us to an extent," Rowling said of Dumbledore's feelings, adding that Dumbledore was "horribly, terribly let down."

Dumbledore's love, she observed, was his "great tragedy."

"Oh, my god," Rowling concluded with a laugh, "the fan fiction."

Potter readers on fan sites and elsewhere on the Internet have speculated on the sexuality of Dumbledore, noting that he has no close relationship with women and a mysterious, troubled past. And explicit scenes with Dumbledore already have appeared in fan fiction.

Rowling told the audience that while working on the planned sixth Potter film, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," she spotted a reference in the script to a girl who once was of interest to Dumbledore. A note was duly passed to director David Yates, revealing the truth about her character.

Rowling, finishing a brief "Open Book Tour" of the United States, her first tour here since 2000, also said that she regarded her Potter books as a "prolonged argument for tolerance" and urged her fans to "question authority."

Not everyone likes her work, Rowling said, likely referring to Christian groups that have alleged the books promote witchcraft. Her news about Dumbledore, she said, will give them one more reason.

Pirates : At World's End

My short review: It was fun. That's what I want from a big budget summer sequel. And that's what I got. Worth the price and time.

Speaking of returns ... Rambo!

Again, credit to Aint it Cool....



This trailer's grisly, so, you've been warned.

Man, Sly's hair looks great. And, hey, isn't that Darla? This time around, John Rambo is out to save some Christian human rights activists who get into some trouble in Burma.

Ooooh! Batman's coming back...

... and the viral sites have already begun, as noted in Ain't It Cool news.

I believe in Harvey Dent So does someone else...

It's called the Dark Knight. And Heath Ledger's a helluva choice for the Joker. I'm a geek for A Knight's Tale, but Brokeback really showed his chops. Lookin' good. Lookin' good.

The Rules of Wedding Crashing

Rule #1: Never leave a fellow Crasher behind. Crashers take care of their own.

Rule #2: Never use your real name.

Rule #3: When crashing an Indian wedding, identify yourself as a well-known immigrant officer or a county lawyer.

Rule #4: No one goes home alone.

Rule #5: Never let a girl/guy come between you and a fellow crasher.

Rule #6: Do not sit in the corner and sulk. It draws attention in a negative way. Draw attention to yourself, but on your own terms.

Rule #7: Blend in by standing out.

Rule #8: Be the life of the party.

Rule #9: Whatever it takes to get in, get in.

Rule #10: Invitations are for pussies.

Rule #11: Sensitive is good.

Rule #12: When it stops being fun, break something.

Rule #13: Bridesmaids are desperate: console them. (Amended: Groomsmen .. well, may still be hung over from the bachelor party)

Rule #14: You're a distant relative of a dead cousin.

Rule #15: Fight the urge to tell the truth.

Rule #16: Always have an up-to-date family tree.

Rule #17: Every female wedding guest deserves a wedding night. (huh?)

Rule #18: You love animals and children.

Rule #19: Toast in the native language if you know the native language and have practiced the toast. Do not wing it.

Rule #20: The older the better, the younger the better (see Rule below)

Rule #21: Definitely make sure she's
18.

Rule #22: You have a wedding and a reception to seal the deal. Period. No overtime.

Rule #23: There's nothing wrong with having seconds. Provided there's enough women/men to go around.

Rule #24: If you get outed, leave calmly. Do not run.

Rule #25: You understand she/he heard that but that's not what you meant.

Rule #26: Of course you love her/him.

Rule #27: Don't over drink. The machinery must work in order to close.(Amended: If he's too drunk, don't bother)

Rule #28: Make sure there's an open bar.

Rule #29: Always be a team player. Everyone needs a little help now and again.

Rule #30: Know the playbook so you can call an audible.

Rule #31: If you call an audible, always make sure your fellow Crashers know.

Rule #32: Don't commit to a relative unless you're absolutely sure that they have a pulse.

Rule #33: Never go back to your place.

Rule #34: Be gone by sunrise.

Rule #35: Breakfast is for closers.

Rule #36: Your favorite movie is "The English Patient".

Rule #37: At the reception, one hard drink or two beers max. A drunk crasher is a sloppy crasher.

Rule #38: Girls in hats tend to be proper and rarely give it up. (I have no idea what the male version of this is...)

Rule #39: The way to a man's/woman's bed is through the dance floor.

Rule #40: Dance with old folks and the kids. The girls will think you're "sweet."

Rule #41: Never hit on the bride -- it's a one way ticket to the pavement

Rule #42: Try not to break anything, unless you're not having fun.

Rule #43: At the service, sit in the fifth row. It's close enough to wedding party to seem like you're an invited guest. Never sit in the back. The back row just smells like crashing.

Rule #44: Create an air of mystery that involves some painful experience when interacting with the girl you're after. But don't talk about it.

Rule #45: Always remember your fake name! Rehearse it in advance and make sure you know your fellow Crasher's code-name as well!

Rule #46: The Rules of Wedding Crashing are sacred. Don't sully them by "improvising."

Rule #47: You forgot your invitation in your rush to get to the church.

Rule #48: Make sure all the single women at the wedding know you're there because you've just suffered either a terrible breakup or the death of your fiancée.

Rule #49: Always work into the conversation: "Yeah, I have tons of money. But how does one buy happiness?"

Rule #50: Be pensive! It draws out the "healer" in women.

Rule #51: Always pull out in time.

Rule #52: Tell any woman you're interested in that you'd love to stay put but you promised to help out at the homeless shelter today.

Rule #53: It's time to put your Drama Lessons in practice! Get choked up during the service. The girls will think you're "sensitive". Bring a slice of onion or artificial tears if necessary.

Rule #54: Avoid virgins. They're too clingy.

Rule #55: If pressed, tell people you're related to Uncle John. Everyone has an Uncle John.

Rule #56: Don't fixate on one woman. ALWAYS have a back-up.

Rule #57: When seeing a rival Crasher, do not interact: merely acknowledge each other with a tug on the earlobe and gracefully move on.

Rule #58: The Ferrari's in the shop.

Rule #59: If two rival crashers pick the same girl, the crasher with the least seniority will respectfully yield.

Rule #60: No "chicken dancing": no exceptions.

Rule #61: When crashing out of state, request permission from the local Wedding Crasher chapter.

Rule #62: No more than two weddings a weekend. More and your game gets sloppy. You'll also attract unwanted notice.

Rule #63: Bring an extra umbrella when it rains. Courtesy opens more legs than charm.

Rule #64: Always save room for cake.

Rule #65: When your crash partner fails, you fail. No man is an island.

Rule #66: Smile! You're having the time of your life.

Rule #67: Mix it up a little. You can't always be the man with the haunted past.

Rule #68: Dance with the Bride's grandmother.

Rule #69: No sex on the altar. Confessionals, okay. Chair lofts, better.

Rule #70: Two shutouts in a row? It's time to take a week off. Ask yourself: what is it that is getting in the way of my happiness?

Rule #71: Research, research, research the wedding party. And when you are done researching, research some more.

Rule #72: Studies have shown that women have a more developed sense of smell. Breath mints: small cost, big yield.

Rule #73: Keep interactions with the parents of the bride and groom to a minimum.

Rule #74: In case of emergency, refer to the rulebook.

Rule #75:

Rule #76: No excuses. Play like a champion.

Rule #77: Carry extra protection at ALL times.

Rule #78: The unmarried female rabbi: is she fair game? Of course she is.

Rule #79: The tables furthest from the kitchen always get served first.

Rule #80: Stop, look, listen. At weddings. In life.

Rule #81: Occasionally bring a gift: you're getting sex without having to buy dinner, so you can afford a blender.

Rule #82: Always think ahead but always stay in the moment. Reconcile this paradox and you'll not only get the girl, you might also get peace of mind.

Rule #83: Don't let the ring bearer bum your smokes. His parents may start to ask questions.

Rule #84: Stay clear of the wedding planner. They may recognize you and start to wonder.

Rule #85: Don't use the "I have two months to live" bit: not cool, not effective.

Rule #86: Shoes say a lot about the man.

Rule #87: Always choose large weddings. More choice. Easier to blend.

Rule #88: You're from out of town. ALWAYS.

Rule #89: Know something about the place you say you are from, whether be from another US state or another country. Texas is too-played out. For some reason, England, Germany or even New Hampshire seem to work. Master the accents convincingly, and you've nailed them!

Rule #90: Of course you dream of one day having children.

Rule #91: Never dance to "What I Like About You." It's long past time to let that song go. Someone will request it at every wedding. Don't dance to it. No matter how hot the girl.

Rule #92: Tell the bride's friends and family that you are family of the groom and visa-versa.

Rule #93: Only take one car. You never know when you'll need to make a fast escape.

Rule #94: Deep down, most people hate themselves. This knowledge is the key to most bedroom doors.

Rule #95: Try not to show off on the dance floor. This means you Jeremy.

Rule #96: Etiquette isn't old-fashioned. It's sexy.

Rule #97: Catholic weddings: the classic dilemma: painfully long ceremony: horny girls.

Rule #98: The newspaper Wedding Announcements are your racing form. Choose carefully.

Rule #99: Be judicious with cologne. Citrus tones are best.

Rule #100: Save the tuxes for "the big show" only.

Rule #101: Avoid women who were psychology majors in college. There is no kind of woman more clingy and persistent than a psychologist investigating your story later on.

Rule #102: No periwinkle colored ties, please.

Rule #103: Always have an early "appointment" the next morning.

Rule #104: Be well groomed and well-mannered.

Rule #105: Never cockblock a fellow Crasher. Cockblocking an invited guest--okay.

Rule #106: Eat plentiful, digest your food. You'll need the energy later.

Rule #107: Know when to abandon ship if it ain't floating.

Rule #108: Know your swing and salsa dancing. Girls love to get twisted around.

Rule #109: Always carry an assortment of place cards to match any wedding design.

Rule #110: Make sure your magic trick and balloon animal skills are not rusty. If the kids love it, the girls will too.

Rule #111: Never have sex with bride or groom's mother even if she is the hottest bombshell at the wedding. Just control yourself.

Rule #112: Have FUN! It's why you're there!

Rule #113: Don't look for opportunities; make them.

Rule #114:

3-4 months to wedding crash--funerals are year round!

Rule #115: Never walk away from a crasher in a funny jacket. (The rule that Jeremy makes up to insult John)
