Don't Be Stupid, Be A Smarty, Come And Join The Blogging Party

Only in the 21st century could Mel Brooks make a movie about two Broadway lowlifes based on a Broadway play about two Broadway lowlifes based on another movie about two Broadway lowlifes. Yes, the trailer for the new movie version of " The Producers" — as opposed to the old movie version, y'see — is our no. 38 top link today. (Oohh, man, Uma Thurman is in it!) From all appearances, Brooks' new version of his old story will be a toe-tapping, goose-stepping good time, as the advert blurbs might say. The flick doesn't drop until December, but the feeling around the Prognostication Department is to expect a run at the box office comparable to the one the play had. Blogcitement is high, as evidenced by this poster, who is so pumped she can't even form traditional sentences: "I = quite excited." More traditional syntax and construction from this blogger, who writes, "I can now officially die, ladies and gentlemen, for life has just been made wonderful." But that ability to form words seems only localized; if you want to see some emphatic non-words, see this cat.
