I have faith in you
Netflixed "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" and laughed all the way through. It's stupid but it's dead-on satirically stupid, and John C. Reilly is perfect. I like the extended version better than the theatrical cut, what with the cameos from Cheryl Tiegs, Cheryl Ladd and Patrick Duffy. The Beatles LSD sequence is perfect and the trampoline -- don't get me started on the trampoline. And the extended recording session with the didgeroos. My favorite line: "Of course I have faith in you. I just know you're going to fail." For whatever reason the movie tanked, but now that I've sent it back, I wish I'd ripped a copy - er, bought my own.
Also, this is the funniest thing I've read on the web in weeks. It's about Dan Brown and the upcoming release of a revised The DaVinci code, which the publisher says will fix some minor errors that got through the production process:
"It’s true that I let a few little mistakes go in the first edition," said Brown. "Factual errors about Biblical history, early Christianity and Judaism, Catholic theology, Egyptian mythology, Mithraism, the origins and language of the New Testament and Gnostic Gospels, the Nicene Council, Emperor Constantine, the Dead Sea Scrolls and Nag Hammadi texts, the history and modern organizational structure of Opus Dei, the history of the Vatican, interpretations of Leonardo’s Last Supper and Mona Lisa, Leonardo’s sexuality, the history of the Knights Templar, the history and architecture of Rosslyn Chapel and the Church of Saint-Sulpice, the history and geography of Paris, the location of Versailles, the position of Curator of the Louvre, the design of the Louvre Pyramid, the French education system, the French language, Andorra’s rail system and propensity for seismic activity, the geography of London and the procedures of the Metropolitan Police, the astronomical position of Venus . . .
