We Want To Go Where The Rainbow Ends

remember this hottie mcgee supreme that tried to tag-team a non-interested/totally gay Tom Cruise in Eyes Wide Shut that we boasted about back in the ’06 [see bottom of post for butter pics]


all we knew about her was that her name was Stewart Thorndike and that we totally have to mother her children. well after fo ages with nada nunca news about her, our belovededed Google Alerts finally came thru the looking glass! turns out she’s alive and well, a recent NYU film school grad, and that her full name is Megan Stewart Thorndike (although like Night Shaayalalamamadingdong, she goes by M. Stewart Thorndike), and we know this cause she’s holding a giant check from TimeLife for winning their 2008 Young Filmmakers Challenge


WAY TO GO STEWIE!!!

we dug up a few thangs M. Night Thorndike has worked on that you won’t find on IMDbsweeney…

‘John’s Polka’, a Converse shoe spot she shot
Tess and Nana, her graduate thesis film
People Are Children, co-director
Turning, co-director
4am, Friday, she starred in the short film
Team Queen, grip/gaffer
Shock Art, boom operator

we wish u much success in the future, cause that’ll mean more new pics of you (with or without giants checks)!! as always, we’ll be keeping our Eyes and Thighs wide open for you Thorny!

we now return to the usual poop…

Where Have You Gone Wayne Font(e)s?


The typeface Tony [Frewin] used to print it is exactly the same typeface Kubrick used for the posters and title sequences of Eyes Wide Shut and 2001. ‘It’s Futura Extra Bold,’ explains Tony. ‘It was Stanley’s favourite typeface. It’s sans serif. He liked Helvetica and Univers, too. Clean and elegant.’

from the franztastic ‘Citizen Kubrick’ article
in The Guardian Unlimited
[io9]

Wes Anderson’s also a fan of the font

and so are we

Ten Things I Col Klink I Col Klink I Col Klink Without My Klinky Boots


1) I Col Klink a rematch of Super Bowl XXXI is in our future. And who wouldn’t want to see the Pats take on the Pack again, tenish years after the fact? The Cowboys are darn good, but ultimately, their defense blows and won’t get them anywhere close to the promise land. I don’t know if they made Jason Campbell look good or if he actually is good, but the Skins’ loss last nite to the Cowpokes was easily their best game of the year. And even though they keep losing, the NFC is so awful that they’re still right in the mix for a wild card spot. Actually, so are the Dolphins. At 0-10, they haven’t been eliminated for post season play… yet

2) I Col Klink I won’t be headed to Detroit anytime soon

3) If Ebert never returns to the At The Movies balcony, I think Michael Phillips should be the only choice to replace him. He’s the perfect foil to Roeper. AO Scott is mos certainly nott

4) I know you didn’t see it in theaters, so if you rent one DVD this turkey tweakend I Col Klink you should make it La Vie En Rose (TWS review | buy). If Marion Cotillard doesn’t win the Oscar for Best Bizatch Who Can Act, I’ll give up eating fried chicken… for one whole week!

5) I Col Klink this R2-D2 soy sauce bottle is the greatest advancement in that industry since The Soy Sauce Warrior Kikkoman [Pakula Shaker]



6) I Col Klink that Adhir Kalyan could be the funniest man in America, as in Aliens In America. Who woulda thunk? Certainly not us!

7) From what I’ve heard thus far, I Col Klink Daft Punk’s Alive 2007 will go down at the bestest live album featuring pre-recorded music mt EVERest

8) I Col Klink it’s time for MTV to make the VMAs more like the EMAs. The ‘005 Borat hosted edish was probably the bestest awards show ever… not featuring boobs or slime

9) I Col Klink a Rolling Stones’ Clockwork Orange woulda totally kicked a Beatles’ Lord of The Rings‘ a$$ 17 ways from Sunday. And Stephen King, I do enjoy your wit and jizzdom, but will you shut yer trap about Kubrick’s Shining already?

10) I Col Klink I never want to get high on jenkem
