One of my favorite films is ‘The Shadow’ starring Alex Baldwin. It’s a campy, rather dumb film, but the visuals are quite good, and so is the dialogue. Just to be clear, Alec Baldwin is Lamont Cranston who is ‘The Shadow’, the titular vaguely evil superhero:
Margo Lane: “Oh, God I dreamed.”
Lamont Cranston: “So did I. What did you dream?”
Margo Lane: “I was lying naked on a beach in the South Seas. The tide was coming up to my toes. The sun was beating down. My skin hot and cool at the same time. It was wonderful. What was yours?”
Lamont Cranston: “I dreamed I tore all the skin off my face and was somebody else underneath.”
Margo Lane: “You have problems.”
Lamont Cranston: “I’m aware of that.”
I never get tired of that exchange. Baldwin delivers it in such a deadpan manner that it kills me every time. … I’m just sayin’.
At first this made me laugh.
Then it made me feel badly for any man who would find one necessary.
And then it was funny again! This product was even worse.
Hold her and have a good sleep…. The Girlfriend’s Arm Pillow, shaped like a woman’s torso with right arm and breasts, is designed for the single boy in need of some comfort while he sleeps.
Just another peek into the kind of television programming Hamas creates for children.
No, this is not a joke.
Russian strongman Vladimir Putin’s mid-life crisis continues apace.
Putin recently divorced his wife in order to marry a 25-year-old rhythmic gymnast, and he’s been spending a lot of time in the wilderness tracking and shooting wild tigers, and fishing bare-chested. He’s man dammit, a great big burly Russian man, and the world needs to know it.
Also, he invaded a much smaller nation. And you all just avoided seeing a picture of Putin fishing sans shirt.
But here’s the video of Putin showing off his Great White Ninja maneuvers!
I’m hoping to see the “Learn Metal-Detecting With President Carter” video.
But wait, it gets even more funny! From the article above:
Putin is a one-time judo champion of his home city St. Petersburg, called Leningrad at the time, and he doesn’t hesitate to promote the sport.
For instance, the former Russian president has disclosed that French President Nicolas Sarkozy wants to take some martial arts lessons.
“He is interested in martial arts, and we have decided to do some training together,” Le Figaro, a leading French newspaper, quoted Putin as saying in an interview published last month.
“Let’s Learn How to Get Thrown to the Ground with President Sarkozy!”
Which reminds me — I haven’t mocked the French in some way in several minutes… has it occurred to anyone that Sarkozy looks a lot like that one guy from ‘The Kids in the Hall’?
