8 Days Til Christmas
Tom Cruise is on Regis and Kelly this morning.
This is what my life is reduced to while unemployed in the Winter. Morning television, fighting with my cat, and dreading the trip to the grocery store. Also, wondering if Regis and Kelly are in a fight this morning as I watch Regis bat away any attempt Kelly makes at humor...
And now I can direct my rage toward my nemesis. Tom "Soul Full of Assholes" Cruise.
Let's start with his new movie. Valkyrie. Where he plays an Eye-patched Nazi (presumably the BEST Nazi, thus rounding out his "Top" franchise.) Only, he doesn't even attempt to authenticate the role with any kind of acting whatsoever...most obviously by cleverly omitting an accent of any kind.
OK, he's on.
I think he's been heavily medicated.
He also looks like he's lost about 20 lbs.
That's about all I can report as it was the most uninteresting interview ever.
But I did learn that Valkyrie is rated PG. Awesome. It's going to be the Pearl Harbor of Nazi Films. I really hope there's a cute dog someplace that I can root for.
NEWSFLASH:
I was watching A Charlie Brown Christmas last night, and in the 2nd half hour they played an updated special. Most notable was the absence of Linus's blanket. Well, according to Wikipedia, in 1989, Schulz decided that Linus had outgrown his blanket.
I don't know how to about that. I've always considered Linus to be an iconic champion for security blanket owners everywhere. I guess Schulz decided to let the icon grow up. I dunno.
But anyone else out there think this is like Milne giving Pooh a PhD?

Once I'm out of this job we should spend our cold days together making fun of daytime tv. And knitting. And on Labor Watch.
Regis... medicated stars... Dr. Pooh, M.D...
You need to find some good video podcasts and ditch the daytime garbagefest, my friend. You're slowly melting your brain.
Um...
If all the characters are German, and it takes place in Germany, no one would have an "accent," because they're all speaking German.
So, if you make the conceit (and blame stupid American audiences for this, not Cruise) that they're speaking German, and we're hearing English, well, I see no need for an accent.
