the hole's never been filled Film critic Roger Ebert’s going under the knife again, undergoing cancer surgery on his salivary gland on June 16th. Ebert had surgery to remove a malignant tumor on his thyroid gland in 2002 and two surgeries on his salivary gland in 2003. We’re big fans of Ebert’s and wish him all the best for a speedy recovery, offering just a small tidbit of advice:

If, while you’re under anesthesia, you see Gene Siskel giving you a big smile and the “thumbs-up”, DON’T FOLLOW HIM INTO THE LIGHT.

7.10.2008    Yeah I know this is very old, but Tom Hagen and Sonny Corleone and I recently finished up both Empire and Jedi, so this seemed relevant again.

The boys were quite amused. (2)

6.3.2008    Best. Toy. Ever? Having three boys and being something of a textbook case in stunted emotional development, it’s not at all rare for me to play with and even covet some of their cool toys. But this Indiana Jones Whip, recently gifted to Sonny Corleone at his fifth birthday party, is something spectacular indeed. Yes, it’s made of China-manufactured plastic and two-and-a-half-feet of polyester, but there’s a kind of sublime joy to swinging this thing and hearing a pretty realistic whaa-tshhhh! sound result. It’s damn satisfying, and it’s not something easily replicated because most people don’t have the real thing. Highly recommended. (3)
