In '300', which one is George Bush?

You know, I love my analogies as much as the next person, but this one just made me go "wha-huh-ha??" Bush as Xerxes? Bush as Leonidas? HA! It is to LAUGH!

It's obvious any war movie that comes out now will be discussed in terms of the Iraq war. I probably shouldn't be so surprised. Plus, it sounds like some of the additions to the story from the graphic novel might have caused this comparison. And the reaction in Berlin was a little unsettling...

Ah well, hopefully I'll be able to post my own thoughts on all this on Sunday :D

this thing on?

Is anyone else having trouble with LJ notifications? I didn't get an emails from livejournal today even though I see responses to my posts...

...of course, if something is broken, I won't get the email that you responded to this either. *headdesk*

*EDIT* Ignore me, I'm a dufus - I turned on the junk mail filter in Thunderbird and for some reason it ate all the lj replies, even though it was working FINE before! Silly thunderbird!!

Naughty Thunderbird decided to eat emails! Bad thunderbird! You almost made me miss this wholesome nugget of information:

Young Indy DVDs coming (we think) in 2008!!

The best part about that blurb? Lucas can't keep his damn hands off ANYTHING!

"The DVDs will include the reedited versions of the series previouslyavailable on VHS, which took the 44 episodes of the show and turnedthem into 22, 90 minute, feature length stories."

FINALLY! I mean, it's still over a year away (to tie in with the Indy IV release) but still - at least this date seems solid!

In other TV news - Aardman Entertainment fans rejoice - Shaun the sheep gets his own TV show! Well, actually he has his own TV show right now in the UK, goodness knows when I'll get to see it. But still. Shaun is just so adorable.
