I try not to post this kind of stuff, and just wait for them to meme through other blogs, but …um, well, just see for yourself. “Edward Smith, who lives with his current ‘girlfriend’ – a white Volkswagen Beetle named Vanilla, insisted that he was not ’sick’ and had no desire to change his ways.” (Plus a gallery of totally safe for work photos!)

Samuel L. Jackson is producing and staring in a movie based on JG Ballard’s “Running Wild.” There’s something in “development hell” for nearly everything he’s written, but this is only the third Hollywood-produced JG Ballard adaptation.

(A shame Five Easy Pieces-era Jack Nicholson never played Vaughn, although, as the author said of that script, “This version was set in Los Angeles …It was a genuine translation, not just of language but of everything. I didn’t really like it. It was almost Disneyfied — ‘Walt Disney Productions presents Crash!’”)
