Thoughts: I'm into changing the world and becoming famous. I'm currently only working at that at about 50%. Butter tastes so good and is very important in making other foods; but I still can't finish an entire stick when trying to eat it on its own.

Casino Royale (1967) tribute/review -- I'm not quite done with it yet, but I've put it up. I'm really pleased with myself because of the pictures. I got a hold of this old 1967 Playboy with a 13-page pictorial on "The Girls of Casino Royale" so I scanned them all and put them all online!

Roger Ebert takes a break from films to write an essay entitled: Public Prayer Fanatics Borrow Page from Enemy's Script.

Hollywood@War News! (The greens and browns I used in "Hollywood@War" is supposed to look like camouflage.)

Speech by former Director of CIA James Woolsey in re impending war. Unlike the above Hollywood at War story, this is not an attempt at satire, but just an actual reprinting of this story. Interesting. You should keep up on current events.

You might also like to take a look at this The Salon Interview: Camille Paglia. This is from February 7, 2003 and it's in re the possibility of war in the Middle East.

We are (still!)... Under Christian Attack!

Earlier this week a born again Christian person emailed me about my review of the movie Signs and I responded, and then it kept going like that -- you know, it's impossible to use reason with these people. He cannot comprehend that I don't see how the Bible can be proof of God's existence, and he's all like, "you need to read the Bible, because it proves that it is in fact the word of God." And then I'm like, "but that's like me saying I'm president, and my telling you that is proof enough."

It's really somewhat upsetting; these people just refuse to think any further than a certain point. When they realize that their argument is falling apart they always say, "well that's where FAITH comes in..." But it's like, why do you have faith in some old make-believe, oft-changed-through-the-centuries story? Their faith is grounded in nothing.

So, anyway, then this guy, or woman, got his whole Christian corporation to flood me with fanatical Jesus freak protests, condemnations and superiority...

I was talking to my friend Deana on the IM one day, I think she was stuck at work on a Saturday with nothing to do, so she asked me to recommend sites.

Then I thought, hey these are some good links, I think I'll put them on my links page. My links page was originally a movies links page, but I think I'll expand it to include any links I like.

Problem is, as this grows it's going to be very difficult to index. Oh well. Of course a lot of these links won't be around forever, if you notice they are dead links, send a note to tedstrong@ tedstrong.com.

FOREST GREEN SHIRTS -- SUPERFLUOUSITY AT WORK? I don't think you can ever wear a dark, forest green shirt. Because, there is no pair of pants in existence that will go with it.

Not khakis, not even jeans, and nothing else. I have a forest green shirt and I never wear it. Do you know why? Because it doesn't go with anything.

I don't know what I'm going to do with it. If you have one, I suggest you just throw it away. Because you're never going to wear it. Because you can't. Because it doesn't go with anything.

SUPERFLUOUSITY -- A WORD? No, not technically. Yet. But for now, we still have to be held by the constraints of "superfluousness."

Mean People Suck Alert.

This is my new "Character," or alter ego, "Teddy." He's an animated dog that often lives in a "live action" world. He's a model/actor on the way up. Let me knows what you thinks... at tedstrong@tedstrong.com.
