Two Things That Couldn't Wait Until My Next Post
1. GO SEE LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE.
Today. Satisfaction guaranteed. If you can tell me it isn't the best English-language film you've seen in the theater this year, I'll refund your money (not guaranteed). Now this is how you write a third act.
I'll even make it easy for you. Click here for Toronto showtimes. Now you have no excuse. Thank me later.
2. I recently watched the first season of Weeds. It was great. While surfing Defamer for my catty gossip fix, I stumbled upon an ad for Weeds Season 2, beginning this week. I clicked on the ad, and - GASP - this is what I got. I'm not sure disappointed is the correct word - enraged might better sum up my instant mood change. What the fuck is this? Are they serious? Who the fuck do they think they are? Or, more importantly, who the fuck do they think we are?

Hi Josh -,
WEEDS is an awesome show (witness its deposing DESPERATELY PREDICTABLE HOUSEWIVES in the recent round of US awards shows). And I share your pain about the website debacle; we had the same experience with that other Showtime chesnut, QUEER AS FOLK USA. No one understands why Showtime refuses to allow its syndicated viewership in Canada access to its official show sites. But if you ask, they will send you to the Canadian broadcaster's considerably under-produced version. Which sucks because occasionally I've been supplied a by-pass password to get into the Showtime official sites... and they ROCK. Perhaps a mail to the showrunners - who want nothing more than more web/viewer traffic, and have the ear of their broadcasters - is in order, I dunno. Th eonly way to see the stuff in Canada is to have a US friend slip you the goods via email; which let's be good creators and acknowledge -- is of course a violation of the copyright conditions of restricted sites.
Weeds is good - Sunshine good also
Just use an anonymizer.
