“It’s Christmas, Theo, it’s the time for miracles.”
You’ve never really experienced Christmas until you’re assembling a $150 tricycle with the Sounds of the Seasons channel on TV, while you’re wife is applying decals to the Train and Track Table and finding out that was actually the longer and harder job.
Longer and harder?
Tomorrow we’re shooting the Christmas Conversation for Break A Leg, and I have not unfortunately read the script more than twice and a half. I’ll get by. Then we still have grocery shopping and house cleaning to do for the party on Monday.
Yes, we have a Christmas Eve party every year. I don’t know how we ended up roping ourselves into that, but it’s the kind of thing that you just know you’ll be doing every year, for the rest of your life, as long as you both shall live. What are you gonna do?
Cory and Tyra sitting in a tree…
I am so damn sick of Cory Doctorow talking about himself that I am completely canceling my subscription to Boing Boing. Yes, I’m missing out on hundreds of otherwise impossible-to-find-on-your-own internet gems but I just can’t stand to listen to this guy anymore.
He’s like the intelligent, political, socially-conscious Tyra Banks.
Notice how I selflessly linked to his blog? That’s where you’re supposed to talk about yourself, your own personal blog. Leave it off of Boing Boing.

30-Second Review: Spiderman 3
Watching it is now the single greatest regret of my life, and I include the time I probably almost died from alcohol poisoning.
Ghostbusters 2 bad.
Fantastic Four (either) bad.
Pearl Harbor bad. That’s insulting to Pearl Harbor, it was so bad.
Spiderman 3 bad. Yes, Spiderman 3 is so bad, it’s as bad as itself.
60-Second Review: Live Free Or Die Hard
Acting: Die Hard
Action: Die Hard + Wire-Fu + Ridiculously Preposterous
Dialogue: Die Hard +25%
Villain: Alan Rickman -50% (sorry, Timothy)
Technology: Laughable
Plot: Enemy of the State +50% more plausible.
Sidekick: Surprisingly Not Totally Fucking Annoying
Reginald Veljohnson: 0
Quotable Line: “Now there are only five of them.” – McClane’s daughter, being held hostage by the bad guys, when given a chance to talk “some sense” into her father.
Pithy Comment: It actually becomes the original Die Hard for a portion of the final act.
Bottom Line: Watch it.
