Roger Ebert’s new partner Richard Roeper dissects the success of Jennifer Lopez. I love it. Here’s a quote: “Jennifer Lopez is an undeniably beautiful woman who has shown promise as an actress in films such as “The Cell” and “Out of Sight,” and she’s a mildly talented singer/dancer of at least “Star Search” semifinalist caliber–but…

AICN has a another great report from the set of Kevin Smith’s latest movie, “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.” (part 1, part 2) You know, Joey Lauren Adams is a nicer person than I give her credit for being. Maybe she isn’t the bastard mutation of Jewel and Renee Zellweger after all.

Are you a Simpsons fan? Are you dating one?My Snookums is a big fan of the show, and I reeeeally wanted to get him a “I Choo-Choo-Choose You” card for Valentine’s Day. (Lisa gave one to Ralph Wiggum in a memorable episode.) Unfortunately I couldn’t find one anywhere on the Net, let alone a frame…

So, I was just in the pub for lunch and I heard a remake of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams.” Who the heck recorded that? I wondered. Turns out it was The Corrs, back in 1998. I tried in vain to find a copy online, but I had to resort to my fallback. (Thanks, Aim.)

Former Amazon employee Mike Daisy’s film and one-man play make the on-line bookseller sound a lot like Microsoft, at least the version depicted in Douglas Coupland’s brilliant “Microserfs.” Sounds like they’ve got their own little “Cult of Jeff” goin’ on. And that part about the prehistoric cave bear is just too delicious. Suddenly I’m very…

“Smelly T. Rex on display in London.” Sweet! Well, not sweet. Pretty damn gross supposedly. Ooh, I can’t wait to see it. Our Natural History Museum really is one of the coolest museums I’ve ever been in (and it’s one of the prettiest buildings in London).

Kickass. My sister’s finally updating her weblog on a regular basis. Did I mention that she’s one of the most hilarious writers I know? “The Chicken Curry Caper” made me laugh and laugh.

These things disgust me! When is America going to get good gun laws? Screw the NRA. Screw Charlton Heston. We need to keep weapons of destruction out of the hands of everybody. And where the hell do people get AK-47s??
