Jay and Silent Boris

Quote of the moment:
Look. Please. I know it is always undignified when a grown man begs, but I woke up recently and had a horrifying thought. I seemed to see Tony in power for another four years. There he was, once again on the steps of Downing Street, with Cherie draped all over him like a flannel, and then the camera zoomed in for the tight head shot, and the look of holy rapture on Blair's face started subtly to mutate, and omigosh, I thought, it's coming, here it comes, here it comes... And aaargh, I thought. This is it.

The lips drew back; the corners of the mouth went up, and there it all suddenly was, that gigawatt dentistry, grinning a smile of luminous and incandescent prime ministerial triumph, like a cross between the Joker in Batman and a sex-crazed chipmunk.


How do I love Boris Johnson? Let me count the ways...

I watched the Champions League replay last night, knowing what the score would be. It's definitely the way forward. The night before I watched Chasing Amy, which is notable for two things:

1. Ben Affleck saying "I know how to settle this. We all have to sleep together".
2. The appearance of the awesome Jay and Silent Bob(my personal hero) as the guys on whom Affleck's cartoon book is based. I was inspired to make a To Pork Watch list:


Silent Bob has the badass beard

1. Clerks, 1994
2. Mallrats, 1995 (check)
3. Chasing Amy, 1997 (check)
4. Dogma, 1999 (check, own VHS)
5. Scream 3, 2000
6. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, 2001
7. The Passion of the Clerks, Pre-production
