I've got a couple of movies to write about, and I want to see another if I get up early enough (it's 1:36 am now). But I've got a couple of thoughts first.

For one thing, this commercial (well, it's actually the full music video version) is a lie. Oh, Megan Mullally, how could you?



Okay, let me clarify. The original version, the light version, the Mediterranean Blend version, they're all fine. However, the other day I picked up a fat-free version which has only 5 calories per serving. It tastes awful! I think it tastes worse than old-fashioned margarine (which, granted, I haven't had in a long time). I'm almost suspicious that I got a bad batch or something, it's that bad. I've hardly used it and I think I'm just going to throw it away.

On a happier note, the 76ers have climbed all the way back to the .500 mark. Even though my interest in the NBA is so low, as I mentioned in my last post, I still want the Sixers to do well, so it's a nice thing. This is a testament to the job Doug Collins is doing as head coach. Too bad they didn't go after him a year earlier. Imagine how much more improved they'd be.

Oh, and guess which baseball team is a Mess off the field as well as on?

Hounded by a multimillion dollar lawsuit filed by the trustee trying to recover money for victims of the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme, the New York Mets acknowledged Friday that they received a loan in November to help cover expenses.

Makes sense. Because, after all...
