On this day, I took another giant step in fandom.

I bought Johnny Depp.

Of course, when I say I bought "Johnny Depp," what I mean is that I bought the life-size cardboard standup thingy of him as Captain Jack Sparrow. It's amazing. And it's so coming back to Huntingdon with me; I've just got to figure out how to keep him nonkidnapped over the next year.

To complete the obsessed look I'm apparently going for now, when I bought it I was wearing my [glow-in-the-dark] Pirates shirt. Salesclerk was a little leery of me.


Other news: finally bought and watched Time Bandits. Realized that the last ten minutes are the ten minutes of film that have haunted me since my very very young childhood, almost as horrifically scarring as the part on Ghost when the blobby shadow things take the bad guy away. Ick. Terry Gilliam is amazing. I must now track down and buy Brazil and Baron Munchausen. Anyone know if The Brothers Grimm is worth watching?

I've told you we have to see The Brothers Grimm. Maybe we can do so this week!

I'm just worried it won't measure up to his previous movies and I'll be disappointed and stuff.

Well, it's very much on crack, if that helps. And it has pretty mens in it.

Crack and the pretty are good... You haven't seen any of his other stuff, have you? I've probably asked you before, but I can't remember the answer.
