I describe a film plot based on two movies.
You tell me the combined title.
For example: Plot: suburban family gets mad at a hairy mountain-beast for satirizing them in his roman-a-clef.
Title: Deconstructing Harry and the Hendersons.
So reblog or comment with an answer to the following, but ONLY if you write your own too.

This is just a taste of what would happen if the budget were to go through as proposed. My wife works for JCFS, and I can tell you, they are just a small piece of the social service spectrum.
Without proper care and support, thousands of children are going to fall through the cracks, and most of them are going to end up costing the state much more in the long run if we abandon them now.

Fueling the Beast Within: gourmet.com →
Gourmet Magazine takes on the inanity of energy drinks:
“Julia, can I get you a coffee?”
“No, I have a ton of editing to do, I need the venom of a Death Adder which has the power to strike back.”
“How about an espresso then?” “I will bite you in your neck if you do not leave me immediately to the challenges of my intense life.” “Look, we all have a lot of work to do.” “You may have a lot of...
Twitter litter →
I think Kottke’s hypothesis is correct. I always find it interesting the people who follow over a couple hundred others on Twitter. How is it possible to use twitter in a meaningful way when you do that?
Plus, Robert Scoble and Mashable really suck.
The problem with all of the “we’re tracking the most popular links on Twitter” sites is that link sharing on Twitter...
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen ::... →
This has got to be the greatest opening paragraph of any movie review I’ve ever read:
“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. One of these involves a dog-like robot humping the leg of the heroine. Such are the meager joys. If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the...

FiveThirtyEight: Worst. Damage Control. Ever. →
For all the complex series of statistics that have been run on Iran’s election, it’s the simplest that might prove to be the regime’s downfall. More people “voted” than were eligible to vote — in a lot of places.
FiveThirtyEight on the recent revalation that there were more votes cast than there were eligible voters in over 15% of the jurisdictions in Iran....

My thoughts on Fever
I’ve been using Fever for about 3 days now, and apart from some small problems, I’d have to say I’m very impressed. After my initial problems with it, I’m starting to see it for what it is, and I can fast see it becoming my sole feed reader.

Building a Greenhouse: The Service →
My good friend (and the pastor who married Elizabeth and myself) Dave is starting a new service at our church this fall called Greenhouse. I can’t tell you how excited I am to see his ideas coming to light.
This is going places people. Definitely worth checking out.

I’m really digging this band, this song and this video right now.
