Miscellaneous

1. U2 on Letterman every night, March 2-6. Here's a 12/08 acoustic version of Van Diemen's land.

2. R-rated trailer for Observe and Report. New Seth Rogen movie, basically the R-Rated Paul Blart. Danny McBride cameo.

3. Trailer for The Taking of Pelham 123 - John Travolta kidnaps a subway train car and talks through it with Denzel Washington, the head of the subway system. Directed by Tony Scott. Maybe.

4. Full length trailer for Angels and Demons. Supposedly a better book than its successor, The Da Vinci Code; this looks good.

5. Trailer for Land of the Lost. Will Ferrell and Danny McBride. No further analysis necessary.

6. Twitter is weird. Here are the twitter pages for Luke Wilson, Jimmy Fallon, Kevin Smith, Tina Fey, and Diablo Cody .

7. Chris Cornell is back on tour. Not to be missed - dates here. March 27 : Austin, TX, March 28 : Dallas, TX, and March 29 : Houston, TX (Doc, do yourself a favor)

8. The Carpetbagger talks Penn, PTA, Day-Lewis and Plainview - my Sunday moment of zen.

9. Great list and write ups from National Review: The top 25 conservative movies of all time. Worth your time.

I am sooooo nerdily excited to see "Angels and Demons".

Not counting Toy Story 2, Angels and Demons is the first sequel or prequel for both Tom Hanks and Ron Howard.

The 1974 version of Pelham is really good. Tarantino got the color code names in Reservoir Dogs from it.

Land of the Lost looks good. So does Will Ferrell as George W Bush in the upcoming HBO special "You're Welcome, America".

I'll think about Chris Cornell.
