$500?

Stew has/had $500? Who knew? Was it Canadian?

Also, I may or may not have a post this evening. The missus and I are celebrating our 13th wedding anniversay today. So it's dinner and a movie. Unfortunately, The War of the Worlds isn't out yet. I read somewhere that Tom Cruise's character gets squirted with an extraterrestial water gun and counterattacks by leaping from a giant couch onto one of the saucers, which he then batters repeatedly with a copy of Dianetics.

It may not be good cinema, but it is unique, in its own hairbrained, lunatic, cultish way.

Also, I heard that Katie Holmes makes an uncredited appearance in the film as a rather shapely floor lamp that Tom keeps turning on and off during a crucial scene. What's up with that?
