Where does "ix-nay on the Itler-hay" come from? I've been wracking my brain and trying to find it on Google, all with no success. Gah! It's driving me crazy!

I finished Blankets yesterday and was really impressed. Craig Thompson is very talented. I'll definitely be watching for more of his stuff.

As for Adaptation, I keep wanting to write more about it, but most of what I want to write doesn't make much sense to anyone who hasn't seen the movie. Like how screamingly funny the chase through the swamp was. And the alligator attack! Oh my god! The alligator attack! I had tears streaming down my face! And the bright green flower drug powder which she snorted in this gigantic pile through a huge tube. Ha! I thought it was a wonderful movie until the last half hour or so, during which I was in hysterics almost constantly. But the end wouldn't have been funny at all if it weren't for the earlier stuff in the movie. I think I love Charlie Kaufman. :)

I've never watched any of the "Hetty Wainthropp Investigates," though our TiVo is set to tape "Mystery!" and it often catches Hetty Wainthropp episodes. I won't watch a series if I haven't seen it in order from the very first episode, and I've never happened upon the first Hetty Wainthropp. Perhaps some day the TiVo will catch it, and then I'll check it out. :)
