- Kerouac bday note: I've re-read "On the Road" or "Dharma Bums" every other year for the last 15-20yrs. It's become a tradition for me. #
- Oh, and as @JMBloustein reminds me, Kerouac also inspired the names of my cats, Sal & Dean: http://bit.ly/bznDqQ #
- If Hugo Weaving is in heavy makeup, I can see him in this. If not, it will be "Captain America vs. Agent Smith" to me: http://bit.ly/deMpOQ #

- I once wrote an article about water shortages in suburbia and found lines from Public Enemy's "Rebel without A Pause" when I proofread it. #

- RT @mtvsplashpage: The New 'Iron Man 2' Trailer's 10 Most Important Scenes http://bit.ly/aea0N3 #
- Yes, Hurt Locker was a better overall movie than Avatar, but I can't help wondering which film people will still be talking about in 10yrs. #
- Attention: I'm not saying Hurt Locker wasn't the best film of the year or that it didn't deserve the Oscar. Please put down your pitchforks. #
- I'm just wondering whether Avatar's Oscar miss is sort of like Star Wars' miss years ago. With the 3D craze Avatar spawned, is this similar? #
- [Good point.] RT @ivanjuanjohann: Star Wars lost to Annie Hall, which proved far more influential. I mean, I'm still wearing that outfit. #
- [Agreed.] RT @malki: The best live-action Inspector Gadget movie was Robocop. #
- How about this: Let's all just some together and agree that Method Man talking about comics is pretty entertaining. http://bit.ly/bu5PSu #
- "Rick" is now a trending topic on Twitter. Man, you're getting way too angry about this Avatar/HurtLocker stuff, folks! ;) #
- A brief history of the "Iron Man 2" briefcase armor: http://bit.ly/cUMYnR #
