MTV Movie Awards – Snakes on a Plane!!
Watching these awards – it’s obviously pretty old, so don’t know why Channel 10 has only just got around to showing it; maybe it’s cheaper that way. Samuel L Jackson is presenting the award for Best Movie (I’m sorry, The Wedding Crashers ??)… but he’s claiming that next year, Snakes on a Plane will be winning next year.
Pft. As if.
HELP! snakes on a plane!!
The bro took a picture of a huge billboard in the US advertising the movie; pretty funny.
My GOODness, Jessica Alba is soooo tacky,
BUT WOW for good timing! I was about to go to bed… but Wolfmother just appeared at the end of the awards! YEH!
Hitting triple figures
Yeh!
Doing the proofreading for Distributed Proofreaders – the Project Gutenberg thingo – and I’ve got into triple figures in the rankings! I’m at 995, which means that overnight – when the Americanos get in – I will presumably be kicked back a way. But I’ve got in once… now my aim is to stay in the triple overnight. J thinks I am getting obsessed…. I’m just having fun.
Hamlet at the printer
On this show, some pop-science thing, there was a throw-away comment about how 400 years ago, Shakespeare would have been sending the final draft of Hamlet to the printers.
ARGH!!
Marlowe
Am listening to the BBC4 programme on Christopher Marlowe at the moment. I had no idea that he was born in the same year as Shakespeare. Interesting discussion on how they influenced each other – apparently Shakespeare actually quotes Marlowe somewhere, which is very cool. And Marlowe is the one who first really exemplifies blank verse and long soliloquies, taken up by Shakespeare. Very cool. I always did love Faustus.
