[Filmforensics.com] Film Forensics » Blog Archive » Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: There were a few “features” of the series that were beginning to get tired by the time we reached the third film. Indy’s slash ”˜n burn archaeology may be period-accurate, but it is somewhat appalling when he uses champagne to wash clean an ancient stone tablet, or smashes the stone floor of the library, goes into the catacombs, and immediately uses the femur of one of the corpses as a torch. The oil on the surface of the water made this an idiotic move as well.

[Rabbitblog.com] rabbit blog: I think the rabbit is a very lonely, very sick person who feels compelled to broadcast her mediocre thoughts in order to feel that her life has some semblance of meaning. She claims she "just wants to write a lot" and enjoys "writing whatever the fuck [she] feel[s] like writing whenever the fuck [she] feel[s] like writing it" but clearly there's a toxic blend of obsessive-compulsive behavior and narcissism at play.

 [Hurryupharry.bloghouse.net] Harry's Place: Blogland Archives: Yeah, I might take this blog offline and keep it to myself, and when this blog was dead, then you'd be sorry. Yes, then you'd all be like, "Oh British Spin, why didn't we praise you and put you on our best weblog lists and show you love and respect when we had the chance, and now you're gone and we miss your trenchant yet lucid reportage on the minutae of politics and we've missed our chance to tell you" and I'd be watching you and laughing becuase I could see that you were sad now, but it was too late and there was nothing you could do, even though you'd all the website editors would realise their mistakes and beg me to come back with tears streaming down their faces, but I'd just stalk off and start a new blog and you'd never know it was me even after it won all the blog awards ever and I was more famous than atrios or anyone.

[Theostrichsyndrome.blogspirit.com] The Ostrich Syndrome : blog: Journalism is dead my friends, most papers don’t check facts anymore, so if your local celebrity gets caught in an under age sex scandal, send in a letter on his behalf. Make it believable, for instance you can mention that he thinks he was brainwashed by the CIA into liking women 15 year old girls, but don’t say aliens said he could go to their mother planet if he first impregnated a 15 year old girl, while she was still wearing her school uniform. We want it stupid enough so the paper looks stupid for publishing it, but that they still actually publish it.

[Mattmchugh.com] Matt McHugh.com - Blog - March 2005: However, the one thing that bothers me in all this is simply the quantity and potential waste of it. All those Chinese peasants making all that plastic so all us flabby Americans can have more junk that we'll just throw out. Cute, inexpensive knick-knacks to suprise the kids with have an almost seductive appeal, but I really do try not to simply acquire and discard mountains of small toys.
