h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*The nice thing about having nothing is you don't have to worry about losing it*

Now that's either very zen (and no, I'm not going to use the 'zen' smiley because 2legs will appear and do the whole n-i-g-h-t-h-o etc. etc. rant thing) or it's a bit gloomy. In the first case , in the second case

Now, I'm sure I came round for a reason...

Oh yes. I read something in the paper today about Eddie Izzard getting a part in the new film John Turturro is making with the Coen Brothers, with lots of other big names in it. I thought you'd be interested. And then I thought, as soon as I started to write, that you'd almost certainly know about it already and I'm probably the last person on the planet to hear about it.

Er...er...something funny. Probably with squirrels in it.
*Stands around looking embarrassed*

Sadly, it's the second case. Thank you for the I'll enjoy scoffing it, want to join me?

I'd not heard about it actually, did it mention the name of the film? <s off to 'source of all izzard info'>

"and squirrels always hol nuts with two hands and occasionally stop and look around as if to say...."did i leave the gas on?....ohhh, no! I'm a in squirell!"

"Romance and Cigarettes

Susan Sarandon, Christopher Walken and John Turturro are about to have the inestimable pleasure of seeing their forthcoming Cohen Brothers movie graced by the inclusion of a cameo performance from Mr.Eddie Izzard. Filming is taking place in NY over the coming few weeks. Karon's going across: explicit, exclusive off-shoot pics to follow next week."

Thanks for telling me

No problem

'Romance and Cigarettes' - damn: I was going to call my film that.

Sorry to hear it's the second case and yes, I will have some . Any time it's the second case, I'm always available to eat

The thing I read said the Coen Brothers were only producing it and Turturro was actually directing it (and may even have written it) and it was he who wanted Izzard. A fine actor and a fine man, that Turturro

A whole year ago

I'm still talking about squirrels

Well, some things go in and out of style, but squirrels are always fashionable. They have a kind of timeless quality which keeps them ahead of the pack.
