A Line That Caught My Fancy

What follows is the closing of a generally positive review of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by Roger Ebert. For some reason, I find it quite amusing...

"But it's remarkable, isn't it, that the Brits have produced Narnia, the Ring, Hogwarts, Gormenghast, James Bond, Alice and Pooh, and what have we produced for them in return? I was going to say "the cuckoo clock," but for that you would require a three-way Google of Italy, Switzerland and Harry Lime."

I also think that Ebert underestimates his readership. Though now I wonder how many of you know what Ebert is referring to without doing that aforementioned Googlesearch?

On the Whole...

In ten minutes, I cast off the shackles of work and don the mantle of the fanboy.

That is, we are off to Philcon in Philadelphia. Have a good one, and don't overload the internet while I am gone. :)
