First, Dr. Who spoilery of the visual kind, this picture from "The Christmas Invasion" is definitely worth a look. Is the Doctor wearing jammies or is it just my fevered imagination? In any case....very interesting. Looks like Ten's going to be a bit action hero-y. Cool.

I'm so glad I recorded TDS yesterday as Jon Stewart's smackdown of Bill O'Reilly was so worth it. I may re-watch it a few dozen times. And I've come to the conclusion that the Colbert Report should just release a dvd of all of the "The Word" segments because they are, without doubt, amongst the funniest things ever aired on t.v. I always have to watch them a couple of times to get all the jokes, although last night's "War Against Humbuggery" was pretty damned hilarious.

Pye was in a fiesty mood last night, the culmination of which involved Kage trying to peacefully use the litterbox and him stalking her. As soon as she'd gotten inside and couldn't easily turn around he ran over and smacked her on the ass, then took off before she could retaliate. He then zoomed into the living room and crouched down around the corner waiting for her to come through so he could pounce. Alas she decided to actually use the litterbox instead and Pye got bored of waiting for her and gave up. He may not be able to out fight her fairly, but he's mastered the sneak attack, I respect that.

Sounds like we're doing Narnia on Sunday and I'm trying to think when I'll have time to see Memoirs of a Geisha (Michelle Yeoh and Ziyi Zhang? Hell yeah), but I suspect that may have to wait until after Xmas at this rate. Although, hmm, maybe Xmas eve...

Edit: Just found the video clip of Jon on Media Matters so if you missed it you can catch it now. My favorite bit:

STEWART: If Bill O'Reilly needs to have an enemy, needs to feel persecuted, you know what? Here's my Kwanzaa gift to him. Are you ready? All right. I'm your enemy. Make me your enemy. I, Jon Stewart, hate Christmas, Christians, Jews, morality, and I will not rest until every year families gather to spend December 25th together at Osama's homo-abortion-pot-and-commie-jizzporium.

Glenn Greenwald does a little searching around and lays out the arguments made by the administration during Vietnam and now during the Iraq war the similarities are downright spooky. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it, indeed.

Ok so I got sucked into trying out the Fantasy Film League, where you cast and produce your own film and see how it does. You start out with $70,000,000 and the casting couch. My line up so far:

Elijah Wood $12,000,000
Bruce Campbell $10,000,000
David Thewlis $7,200,000
Billy Boyd $4,700,000
Christopher Eccleston $4,500,000
Anthony Stewart Head $2,600,000
Jeffery Combs $2,600,000

I originally had Alan Rickman too, but damn he's pricey these days. And the film I've chosen to produce? Why none other than the movie version of Stephen Colbert's Alpha Squad 7: Lady Nocturne: A Tek Jansen Adventure, because it must be done.

I am way, way too amused by this.
