The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Joy & I saw this on Broadway last weekend, and absolutely loved it. Both funny and moving, and the theatre is brilliantly decked out like a school gymnasium, inside and out! Highly recommended.

Is nothing sacred?
The (rather poorly-received) movie version of trippy 70's on-before-the-BBC-evening-news French animation, The Magic Roundabout, has been re-dubbed for America.
Some of the (mostly piss-poor ex- or current-SNL) vocal talents are horrendous. Whoopi Goldberg as Emintrude? Jimmy motherfuckin' Fallon as Dylan?!?
(Jim Broadbent vs William H Macy as Brian, on the other hand, is too close to call)
But worst of all is the bastardisation of Dougal's name for the movie's title. Clearly America is a little *too* hooked-on-phonics.

I ♥ Carnegie Deli
A pound or two of turkey, pastrami, swiss cheese, coleslaw and russian dressing, on pumpernickel. A wee snack.
