In terms of marine life, the dolphins and whales have always been lauded as the most intelligent. It is only now that some of that praise is being bestowed upon the octopus. They don't lack in the personality department either as shown in this article.

The official theory is that this curious octopus fiddled with a valve and flooded the office. Personally I believe it was aiming for something better. I think that thing was trying to escape. Had that thing been successful the movie re-enactment would be the octopus version of Deep Blue Sea.

An article in Newsweek has detailed how Japan has the capability to save the world through financial means and their ability to train other groups in certain activities such anti-piracy techniques and environment conservation.

I'm honestly surprised that an article should point out the obvious since I've known this fact since I was a kid. Ok, so I basically thought this because of all the hours I've watched Voltes V save the Earth from all the robots deployed by the Bozanians to kill us. However if you really think about it; there is no country closer to creating a super robot to protect us from alien invaders than Japan. And if they can do that then they can do pretty much everything. Well, except boost their population. But hey, there's always cloning.

Joaquin Phoenix

Just when I was hoping that Joaquin was being all witty by pranking the masses on his so-called voyage to rap he has to go and do confirm that it's true.

All hope is lost!

Tupac Shakur must be turning in his grave over this travesty against rap.



















Christian Bale vs. Isaiah Washington

Christian Bale is certainly one of my favorite actors. His talent, though not yet recognized in the form of an Oscar win, is undeniable. So if he has an ego, well that is to be expected though I've never pegged him to be the egotistic type.

This rant of his that is supposedly caught on film is something I'm not going to hold against him because I don't really see this as being an ego trip. Reading the transcript, it was clear that his beef was the other guy's inability to be a professional. He never mentioned anything how he's better than the guy or that the guy should be somehow grateful to be working with him. No, the argument was all about work professionalism. This is something a regular person would do when a co-worker has distracted him one too many times. Work, no matter what it is you do, takes time and concentration. Having unneccessary distractions can get to you no matter how small, especially if the day has been long and hard. Dude, I've gone off on someone for being extra dense and I'm usually patient and helpful to newbies when teaching them the ropes. These things happen and unfortunately for Christian, his episode was caught on tape.

Since this is a topic of on-set blow ups, I am reminded of that thing over at Grey's Anatomy awhile back. Whereas I am forgiving with the Bale incident, I'm still ticked off with the Washington bruhaha.

The articles that reported the incidented were never really disputed by Isaiah except for the part where the f-word was directed at TR Knight. So going with that I have to believe that most of it was true.

The whole incident would be something I would side with Isaiah since he started off being mad at people for being late to shooting scenes. That is unprofessional and anybody would get ticked off on behaviour like that. But then he started ranting about how some of his co-stars had no talent and then choking one of them.

Going off on someone is one thing but choking someone is a whole other ballgame. And even if he says he didn't direct the f-word towards TR Knight, the fact remains that he used that word as description of something negative. The fag-hag in me can't forgive him.

The whole spiel about how some of his co-stars had no talent, I have to agree with though. I can't stand Ellen Pompeo.
