"Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure."
Tuesday, March 30, 2004
This is one of the most out-of-your-business article I have ever read in my entire life.
The next Mrs. Tom Cruise:
Who's the perfect match for the newly available superstar?
Daily News
Tom Cruise is back on the market at the age of 41. The suddenly available Cruise is certainly a great catch. Handsome, rich, famous (even though at 5-feet-7, he is a bit vertically challenged).
-------------------
Lisa Marie Presley, 36
Like Cruise, Lisa Marie has had failed marriages, but the biggest thing in her favor is she wouldn't tower over him like ex-wife Nicole. She's only 5-feet-2!
Con: Her marriage to Michael Jackson.
Jennifer Lopez, 33
Don't look now, it's Tom-ifer cruising down the red carpet!
The 5-foot-6 star is a Latin lovely like Penelope Cruz, and, like Tom, she's also had two failed marriages.
Con: The notorious diva expects to be treated like a queen.
Halle Berry, 37
The 5-foot-7 "Catwoman" beauty kicked two cheating ex-husbands to the curb, and is looking for a faithful man whose fame can hold a candle to hers.
Con: Men cheat on her - there must be trouble in this paradise.
Nicole Kidman, 36
Though she's taller than Tom (5-foot-10), Nicole has practice slumping to give him height - and she's used to skipping the high heels.
Con: Her lack of commitment to Scientology - and red-hot career, which has begun to eclipse his.
Uma Thurman, 33
Although the 6-foot-tall Buddhist beauty is five inches taller than Cruise, he was not put off by the height difference when he first fell for 5-foot-10 Kidman.
Con: She's still getting over the split with straying Ethan Hawke - and smooching hotelier Andre Balazs.
Angelina Jolie, 28
He has two kids of different races with Kidman, while the 5-foot-8 "Taking Lives" star has a year-old Cambodian son (Maddox), and plans to adopt again soon from a Third World country.
Con: Getting together in the same place at the same time.
And if he dares...
Courtney Love, 39: Scientology could help with her drug and alcohol problems, and he'd be a good father image for her daughter, Frances.
Paris Hilton, 23: She loves flashbulbs in her face, and they would be nonstop if she dated Cruise, even though he's closer to her dad's age.
Britney Spears, 22: She likes to have high-profile romances that break up in the public eye, and she's willing to get out of a bad marriage very quickly.
Help Tom

Movie Review 19
Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind (Rating: 5)
This screenwriter Charlie Kaufman made confusing but amazing film again. This movie gave me the same impressing as Adaptation. While I was watching it, I had no idea where I was going. But as the story went on (and my friend told me the trick), I started to realize its cleverness. It is like Alice in Wonderland or Matrix kind of feeling.
Jim Carrey was dating Kate Winslet, but their relationship fell into bad shape. After Winslet eliminated the memory of Carrey, he also decided to demolish his memory about her. However, while his memory was being deleted, he changed his mind. In his brain, he tried to run away from the erasing operation.
The use of psychological scene is touchy, while interaction between Carrey's brain and doctor team is brilliant. But I am still damn confused because something shouldn't make sense. I don't want to believe such puzzle results from my luck of intelligence!!! I need DVD to figure out. Anyway, I find this movie the best so far this year. I hope Jersey Girl will be better.
The last word. I am sorry for Elijah the Frodo about such a pervert role...

Gobble Hill, N.Y.
Wayward bird's cluck runs out when it's nabbed on W. side
DAILY NEWS
A wild turkey having a wild time in the city became a jailbird yesterday after cops bagged the fowl on the upper West Side - a decidedly unnatural habitat.
(Cops) tried to tempt the bird with a carrot muffin and a buttered roll. (I wonder if they really thought turkey eats such crap.)
Animal Control Officer Mike Pastore said there have been unconfirmed turkey sightings in Riverside Park over the past year. He and other wildlife experts believe the bird, nicknamed NYCHA in honor of the New York City Housing Authority, could have wandered south from Westchester. (They should have named the birdie more tasteful name.)
"If you try to play with them, or pet them, they're going to peck at you, kick you and beat you with the corners of their wings - which can really hurt," said Brian VanWormer, past president of the Albany chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation. (National Wild....? If you are interested in this, it's here)
"I hope NYCHA's safe," said Ruth Lopez. "She deserves to live - at least until November."

Battle of kid & baby
Hilary Duff (16): Avril needs to appreciate her fans more.
Avril Lavigne (17): "Who the hell cares what she has to say about my fans? Whatever," "Hilary Duff's such a goody-goody, such a mommy's girl."
Avril mocking Hil with a sugarcoated voice: "I'm sure she's really nice and really sweet. I'm sure she's all smiles."
Hiro (28): I have both their CDs. I like Hilary better than Hillary. I think Avril is scary.

Movie Review 18
Secret Window (Rating: 3)
Story (based on Stephen King) is intriguing, Johnny Depp is hilarious, John Turturro is creepy, Chico the Dog is cute, music is scary... Each part is good enough, but somehow the combination doesn't work perfectly. I do not know why, but I guess it is because the movie is more acting-oriented rather than story itself?
A writer (Johnny) is separate from his wife, who now has a relationship with another guy. One day, some guy (Turturro), who looks like Misery-Meet-Christopher Walken type of guy, comes to Johnny's cabin, saying "Ya stole my story!" Then he started stalking Johnny like a wacko. Johnny, feeling danger of himself and his wife, asked sheriff to protect him.
As the ending is interesting and surprising, which at one moment reminded me of Smeagol and Gollum, I shall not be spoiler here. I rated it 3, but it's still worth watching thanks to those 2 actors and Chico (Chico).

Let's collect petitions for him!
Bubba: I'd love to be mayor, but ...
Daily News
"I'd love to be mayor of New York. ... It would be the second-best job in the world," Clinton told 1,300 Manhattan real-estate honchos. "But there are lots of good people who want to be mayor of New York, and they should have their chance." (Who the hell is he talking about?)
And, Clinton added, the political world may not be big enough for two Clintons.
"There is no job description for a former President," Clinton said. Clinton says his goals are pretty simple - "to stay out of trouble and be useful, and stay out of Hillary's hair." (Is this metaphor or he meant it?)

Shock & paws (Who came up with this!!!?)
Dogs survive E. Village jolt
DAILY NEWS
A construction worker watched in horror as his pet dogs were shocked into a frenzy when they stepped onto an electrified section of sidewalk in the East Village last night.
Faster than you could say the name of their breed - Kleiner Munsterlander Vorstehund - Bou and Caja bolted from the section of sidewalk they were on.
Bulvanoski took his terrified pets into nearby East Village Wines, where owner Bob Chu said, "The dogs were shaking and frightened. Their hearts were pounding. I own dogs but I've never seen any as shaken up as these."

Movie Review 17
Passion of the Christ (Rating: 4)
First of all, it is clearly overreacting and overconscious to find this movie anti-semitic. If everyone is Jewish and Jesus is Jewish, what is the point of saying Jewish is to blame for his death? Besides, what about Roman Empire and Caesar? Pearl Harbor is anti-Japanese movie!!
On the other hand, it's fair to say kids should be strictly forbidden from seeing this movie. The reason is not racial issue, but because of disgusting, bloody, and sick violence. I do not even want to describe it here. Still, the movie is very well created and emotionally moving.
It's last 12 hours of Jesus. Basically, he keeps being tortured for 2 hours in the show. I could never keep my eyes on the screen, but I had to because they have subtitle!!
I didn't notice Monica Bellucci was there. In retrospect, I think she was that hottie staying with Mary the Mom. You can also see the Satan, who looks like Smeagol and Satan's baby (?), who looks like Mini-Me.
Considering the ending (rebirth of the Christ), I bet Passion will be trilogy. Next one is expected to be "POTC: Return of the King."

J.K. Rowling Hints at More 'Harry Potter'
LONDON - Harry Potter may be set to grow up. Writer J.K. Rowling hinted Thursday that she may not stop at seven books about the adventures of the young wizard and may write a further installment featuring the adult Harry.... "Probably not. But I'll never say never because every time I do I immediately break the vow."
------------------
So, let me predict possibilities after his graduation.
Hiro's Top 5 list about grownup Harry
1. Harry fights with Ron over Hermione. But Hermione chooses Neville. And Harry marries Ron in San Francisco.
2. Harry becomes a Minister of Magic and criticizes Tony Blair that there is no such thing as weapon of mass destruction.
3. Harry turns to be a dark wizard. In order to regain the justice and order, his son has to kill Harry with a help of a Jedi master.
4. Harry becomes a King of UK and marries a house Elf queen, who has chosen mortal life.
5. Harry wakes up to find out that everything he has experienced at Hogwarts was actually dream.
