we are NOT scientists...



Excerpt from yesterday's FIRST EVER Supreme Court hearing on Global Warming...




Justice Antonin Scalia:
"Don't you have to show imminent harm? When is the predicted cataclysm?"

Massachusetts Assistant Attorney General James Milkey:
"The harm is already occurring... it plays out continuously over time. Once greenhouse gases are emitted, the laws of physics take over. So our harm is imminent in the sense that lighting a fuse on a bomb is imminent harm."

Scalia: "You say it is, once it goes up into the stratosphere and contributes to global warming."

Milkey: "Respectfully, your honor, it is not the stratosphere. It's the troposphere, from the ground up to nine miles above."

Scalia: "Whatever, I'm not a scientist. That's why I don't want to have to deal with global warming, to tell you the truth."

Today is November 30th and it's 60 degress outside.

In short.

WE ARE SCREWED

oh the weather outside is frightfull...

Well, it's November 29th and 58 degrees outside.

Today's WHAT THE FUCK?! weather moment is brought to you in part by the drivers of SUVs everywhere. Sure, this goes without saying, but did you know that our very own U.S. Department of Energy can help?

the giving tree...

The National Arbor Day Foundation makes it really easy for you to get another tree planted in the world.

Even better, they can help you to help make a difference where it's needed the most.

Donate to the Rain Forest Rescue program here. Only $10 helps save a 2,500 square foot area.

By the way, I'm still wearing short sleeves in New York City and it's November 28th.

it's getting hot in here...

It's November 27th.

It's 60 degrees right now in New York City.

Global warming sucks.

get thee to the tower...

By far the coolest thing to do is tour the Tower of London, which is officially now the oldest place I've stepped foot in, other than, like the ocean and parts of the grand canyon, which really don't count in this case.

I've never seen so much celebration over torture, treason, and tenure.

And you can buy lollypops with skulls on them in the gift shop!

Todd in the Time of Cholera

Here I am drinking from the very same water pump at the intersection of Cambridge and Broad Streets that started a cholera outbreak in 1854.

Here's Molly (yes, Molly the Bird Flu Girl) at the very same pump.

There's no television where I'm staying in London, and the papers are fixed on some Russian spy being poisoned, so I just found out now that Robert Altman passed away yesterday.

It's a great loss to Cinema, and I really hope he gets at least a posthumous nomination for the incredibly entertaining A Prairie Home Companion this year at Oscar.

If you're in need of an Altman brush up, here are my all time favorite of his in absolutely no particular order except the first one, which was his masterpiece....

• THE PLAYER
• MASH
• BREWSTER McCLOUD
• POPEYE
• NASHVILLE
• SHORT CUTS

best in [freak] show...

Well, we made it to London, but this unexpected segment playing on Virgin's in-flight entertainment system almost cancelled the trip before landing.



Seeing as how Craig's biggest fear is of standard poodles, this did not sit well with him.

He is in hospital now, as they say here.

v for vacation...


On the heals of seeing Alfonso Cuaron's incredible Children of Men, I'm off to jolly old England tomorrow morning.

I should be scared out of my mind because the film is absolutely chilling in its depiction of an all-too realistic future, where London stands as the last place on Earth for the human race.

The fact that I moved to New York City only days after seeing Die Hard 3: Die Harder (another movie where terrorist bombs detonate a major city in the film's first five minutes) makes my life-imitates-art track record a little worse for the wear.

On a lighter note though, Children of Men is an amazing film that dances circles around the disappointing The Fountain also being released this holiday season. It's also grounded in a gritty reality that V for Vendetta couldn't crack.

Highly recommended, may cause nightmares.

for your consideration, moo...

Apparently David Lynch was out campaigning for our consideration for his new epic Inland Empire in front of the closing Tower Records on Sunset Blvd.



It was Lynch, a cow, and a this banner touting Laura Dern for best actress.




All l know is ever since Rachel told be about this film last week I have seen it at least five times now in my dreams.

Fire, walk with me.

queen of the night...


Although she missed out on the premiere of The Queen, god save her, the actual Queen wouldn't miss the premiere of Casino Royale for all the tea in Twinings. And, yes her gloves are butter resistant, leaving no trace of topping, and allowing for complete popcorn consumption convenience.


This was the first movie the Queen has seen since Die Another Day at which she glazed deeply into Pierce Brosnan's eyes and exclaimed "you're not Lazenby!"

Adding further embarrassment, you'll note she wore the exact same outfit to the premiere of The Spy Who Loved Me, at which she glazed deeply into Roger Moore's eyes and exclaimed "you're not Lazenby!"

Rachel and Todd completely forgo the political wrap up and instead talk about the important stuff...

• Our new book club where we talk about books we haven't read.

• A revealing talk about Kirstie Alley's swimsuit reveal.

• Academy screening madness.

• How the snatch is back.

more fun than a gorrila blurred to a pulp...

I'm just freaking out over Damon Albarn's new project The Good, The Bad and the Queen.

The first single from their 2007 upcomming CD is called HERCULEAN and it's just amazing. You can listen to it here...

and that's the way it is...

I'm sure y'all already saw this on Inside Edition or Entertainment Tonight or something, but Craig caused quite a stir at last night's Faith & Freedom Awards. Shortly after this photo was taken, Craig asked Walter if "those were his real eyebrows" and then was quickly escorted off the stage.

All this happened about the same time Craig's friend Jill, George Clooney and I announced plans to star in the long-awaited sequel to O Brother, Where Art Thou? entited Yo, Over Here.
