Oh, I see. I just actually bothered to look at the picture at the top of the page, she's had her lips "amplified". The trout pout strikes again and unsurprisingly, it looks absolutely dreadful. Still, mystery solved.

Didn't Anna Faris used to be somewhat cute? On Entourage, she looked awful.

Henman won, now 'bout that? If there's any justice in the world, the ol' tiger will have a plucky run to the quarter-finals. And then lose. But with dignity! Too bad Hantuchova's out, that's cut down the cute and sexy factor significantly. Go Ivanovic!

Glen Johnson fails to steal a toilet seat - 19th January, 2007 Apparently, Per Mertesacker turned Villa down. So we're gonna get Zat Knight instead. Well, he did score for us at the weekend. <_<

My good weekend is going to be spoilt by Villa signing someone silly like Glen Johnson. Watch it happen.

Hey, Smolarek got sent off on his debut for Santander. You can take the boy outta Dortmund...

You know, I had a feeling that was probably wrong but I didn't check. Pardon the lazy error. Regardless, American Beauty undoubtedly served to influence awful dreck like Desperate Housewives.

This film is another dull, suburban "commentary" that gets even more irritable the longer it smugly trundles along. Sweeping and utterly contrived character contradictions that are really predictable and a third act that relies on some stupid innuendo shots; hardly surprising that the guy who wrote it went on to create Desperate Housewives. :yuckky:

She doesn't even have her own thread here, which is crazy. Someone should make one. Someone who isn't lazy, like me.

Excellent weekend with both Villa and BVB recording their first wins of the season. I thought it was going to be one of those oh so typical games where Villa create a hundred chances but end up settling for a draw against clearly inferior opposition. But no, not this time! Same for Dortmund, I was worried all the pressure would amount to nothing but the lad Klimowicz was awesome. Ah, good times...

Superbad. What a tremendous motion picture.

Actually the <_< face was for liking Bayern and having a soft spot for Schalke. Being the Borussia Dortmund loving son of a gun that I am, I'm just not sure I can tolerate such madness. In fact, I may have to break up with you.

<_<

Rafael says: Probably not going to happen?

They shoved Martins out on the wing, which didn't work. Viduka looked fat and disinterested yet still received the traditional standing ovation from the "Toon Army". Owen came on and had maybe two touches of the ball. They'll finish 12th and the rest of the world will carry on as it ever did.

How bad are Newcastle? We shoulda and coulda whooped dem boys, they can't keep possession to save their lives. Still, we're off the mark and we've got Fulham at home next. Spurs beat Derby. I guess that means they're title contenders again. 4-0 against Derby, whoopdefrickin'doo. Losing 3-1 to Duisburg was hurtful. But 4-1 to Schalke. Schalke! Schalke! I can't articulate my disappointment. Awful. The pits. I hate the Bundesliga season already. Bayern winning 4-0 at Bremen? What's the point?

Citizen Kane shouldn't be classed as overrated. If anything, the film seems to get nitpicked at all the time because of lists such as this. The significance and longevity of Kane can hardly be stressed enough and as a stand alone film, it is damn fine. For it's influence alone it should quite clearly be in the top ten. Is it the "best" film of all-time? What does that even mean? Its great, its Orson Welles and cinema would be a lot poorer without it.

The one positive that I take from the return of Sven to these isles is the reappearance in the modern lexicon of one of my favourite tabloid phrases: Svensational.

Mark Delaney, Villa right-back and one of football's nice guys has sadly had to retire at aged 31. He hadn't played for a year so it was to be expected but it is nevertheless a sad day, especially as he had given us some eight years service. On a brighter note, Spurs are bottom of the table. Proof that while life can often be unfair, it can also provide wonderful surprises.

Taken out of context, this sure looks funny. Another (less funny) National Treasure: Book of Secrets shot

Taylor had a good game, I felt bad for him because he had no chance with either goal. If you look at Gerrard's free-kick, you'll see how well Taylor does to even get within the same postal code as the shot. Ironically, he's struggling to be fit for the Newcastle game so it looks like Carson will be playing regardless.

So I finally put Penny in my fantasy team and suddenly his hot streak ended. Typical. Papelbon is awesome. I wanna see John Lackey pitch live one of these days. When Lackey's on fire, you best bring a hose with you!
