Ebert gets seriously pissy about Ben Stiller’s new movie.

A British father is pissed at FHM magazine after his 14-year-old daughter saw some “grotesque” pictures in it, fainted, hit her head on the pavement, and died. I’m very sorry for his loss, and I’m not trying to belittle that in any way. But how on earth is this magazine responsible? What if I’m reading…

To the BT user who voted six times in my poll: Yes, I know who you are. And yes, I’ve cancelled all of your votes. I’ll assume it was a mistake and give you a second chance, but if you can’t play nice with the other kids, I’ll ban you from the site. Thank you.

I got a strange little e-mail the other day complimenting me on my site and inviting me to check this person’s out.

I met up with Jann and a few co-workers last night at a bar in London to reminisce about the good ‘ol days of 2000. Well, that was the plan anyway.
