How many Squabs are you now?

OK I know you appreciate the talents of Canadian film doctor <David Crone n' Bird>. Many outside of Canada recognize the brilliance of such films as <Videosquab>, starring the beautiful <Squabby Harry> as the "torture girl", and also <A History of Squab> and <Eastern Squabs> starring the very fine <Viggo Squabbason>.

However, are you familiar with a lesser known, but equally gifted Canadian film doctor <Atom Bomb Egoyan>? Last night I viewed a very fine squab he shot in Ireland/England.

It's called <Felicia's Squab>, and stars the perennial British stalwart <Bob Hand Grenade>.

A young Irish girl seeks her lover, and runs into <Bob Hand Grenade> instead, who may or may not be a serial killer.

This movie is not a horror movie, and yet it is at least ten times squabbier than any actual horror squab.

If you like this squab, I also recommend one of his lesser known films about an <Insurance Squab> called "The Adjustor".

He made another squab about a strip joint that was quite <Crone n' Bird>esque if you ask me, and got some better known Canadian actors to go in it.

It's probably his biggest "money" success but I forget the name of it now.

I also saw several of his other squabs, all shot in Canada.

I recommend <Atom Bomb Egoyan> very highly for anyone interested in great Canadian film doctors and other squabs.

Although outside of the niche genre of <Squab Films>, I don't think I have the depth.

Check out the last minute of this <youtube> vid from a <BBC Documentary> on time...

It's an experiment that has proven a microwave can transmit information faster than the speed of light!!'

I didn't know that.

WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME!!!

Isn't Viggo something? That naked knife fight in the Turkish bath ... and not a prosthetic in sight.

I have a very tenuous connection with Felicia's Journey. It's based, I think, on a William Trevor story. As a child, Trevor lived in a house where, years later, I used to play chess as a teenager.

I tried that story out on Pat O'Connor, who has also directed Trevor stuff (Fools of Fortune, Ballroom of Romance). He thought it hilarious, but not in a pleasant way - "So, you, heh, met a guy who met a guy who lived in the house where the guy who didn't meet a guy lived in 1940, that right?"

I got my own back later. He subsequently banned me from all interviews and press conferences. And he banned me from even speaking to his wife, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio - but I confess I cheated on that one.

Normally, of course, you'd need a brace of SQUIDs - superconducting quantum interference devices - for such exotic effects. But apparently you can now build a wormhole from components purchased on the net.

Did you know that *everyone* present at key historical events -- all of Nelson's sailors, everyone at the crucifixion, etc -- were time-travelling tourists in disguise.

The 22nd century ones are fine and try to blend in with local customs, but you get some real lager louts from the mid-21st century.

Time to get up for breakfast!!

Today we're having this:

The wisdom of <Dom>..

I remember you voicing some "concerns" about a certain poster that I dismissed as "inaccurate" in my mind...

However, he has indeed proven a bit "touchy"-- although you employed a much stronger term.

Heh- oh well live and learn.

Mrs. Squab

(I'm glad you enjoy Atom Bomb Egoyan, and that you got to visit the house of a cousin of a friend who stayed at the apartment where the screenwriter of <Fiona's Squab> rang once but it was a wrong number).

BTW, how <did> you get revenge on that impertinent squab who insulted you?

Tell me by EMU if the revenge story contravenes relevant international law.

In the meantime, as always, please continue to post any <squab-related> Holiday Recipe inquiries in my forum.

Oh, just the usual journalisto-rectal routine -- I wrote something vicious. I don't remember what exactly, but he did. Which was the point.

About 50 pee per hour.

HAHAHAHAHAH

Oh wait I thought if would work like

<What's a Grecian Urn>?

I will be sure to try it.

It's hard work to get the people into the "Holday Squab" spirit.

BTW, what kind of person reads

<Squabby Harry> and <Viggo Squabason> without blinking, and then only two days later gets around to asking "What's a squab?"

A person with a lot of <sang-froide>, that's what.

Why is that expression a big compliment for the French, but a big insult for the English?

Ie- <cold blooded>...

Well I suppose it's not so much of an insult among <herpetologists>.

<consultation game agaisnt ourselves> at <Woody's house>?

A quick glance at the profile and rules would suffice to let you know what we're up to.

ANOTHER SHRUBBERY!!

Last year, I kept looking in the right places but giving up too easily. Or being beaten by squabs with faster mouse fingers.

6. Aki Kaurismaki's Hamlet Goes <BUSINESS> (aka <Hamlet liiiiikemaaaaailmassssssaaaaaa>)

Polonius: How are you, Hamlet?

Hamlet: Alright, thank God.

Polonius: Do you know me?

Hamlet: Sure, You are the butcher.

Polonius: No, I'm not.

Hamlet: I wish you were.

Polonius: Why?

Hamlet: It would make you more respectable. Only one man in 10,000 is respectable and even he's nothing much to boast about.
