a severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer



well, it was certainly not cool to hear that Mitch Hedburg died...there are rumours floating around that it was a heart attack or a heroin overdose...we'll have to wait and see.

Saw the movie Chinatown today...I had to laugh at the classic line "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown" even though its at a serious part of the movie...I can thank the Simpsons for skewing every pop culture reference of the past 50 years into a joke.
I really like the film noir genre...even though it really isnt done anymore, Chinatown was 1974 and even that was late for the genre, it was mainly the 1940s and 1950s. The most recent movie I can think of in the genre is "The Man who Wasnt There". A lot of the Coen brothers movies are noir-esque in my opinion.
