Libertango - May 6th, 2008

About May 6th, 2008

What's in a name? 01:54 pm
As James Fallows has pointed out (among many others -- here's a sample Google search) -- It's Burma, not Myanmar. Just like it's Cambodia, not Kampuchea (and for very similar reasons, if you care about human rights).

Alternate tagline for "Iron Man" 02:00 pm
"Victor Gonzales is Ned Kelly"

*^*^*^*

I first noticed it in A Scanner Darkly, but I swear, Robert Downey, Jr. is as spookily like Victor as Sean Connery is like Jerry Pournelle during his drunken, safari jacket scenes in Lisbon in The Russia House.

It's uncanny. (Oops, wrong superhero group)
