WatchNew Jeunet! How can you tell it’s really him? Not a flesh-tone in sight.
While I have little idea what is happening in this French trailer (a man gets shot in the head… with hilarious results?), the film stars French comedian Danny Boon and is directed by a man who has waited far too long to step behind a camera again. (via CHUD)

On NPR’s “Morning Edition” today, they had two American pundits debate the impact/grandeur of Prezbobama’s speech today. Then Rami Khouri of the American University of Beirut entered the fray with an interesting viewpoint: he stated his desire for Mr. Obama to realize in his speeches that the “Muslim world” extends beyond the Middle East. One does not define...
