You are about to embark on a great crusade to stamp out runaway decency in the west

One of the peculiarities of Boston is that it's actually somewhat difficult to find fresh seafood around town (though it's somewhat easier than it used to be, thanks to Holy Foods, and, to a lesser degree, Roche Bros.). You'd think there would be little seafood shops in every village, between Starbucks and the local haberdasher, but you would be wrong. Sadly, James Hook, our favorite place to get fresh lobsters, burned in the early hours of the this morning. Pretty sad. We got a 20 lber from them last summer and had enough lobster rolls to feed the Red Army.

Is it possible that none of our readers saw IJATKOTCS over the weekend? Raphy, can this be true?

A package from Amazon.com arrived yesterday afternoon. Thinking I had perhaps gone too far in yesterday's post, I ripped it open. Blast--it was the new James Bond book, which I don't recall ordering. Alas, apparently it sucks. (Bram has links to a couple of reviews in yesterday's comments.)

RIP, Harvey Korman. Here's a clip from Blazing Saddles, the funniest movie ever made:

Got no real interest in seeking out Indiana Jones. On DVD, sometime maybe, sure.

Last weekend? Iron Man.

Way too much fun. Best Marvel's done yet, which may not be saying much. I repeat my endorsement of it — it works because it's about Tony Stark, and because Tony Stark's Robert Downey, Jr. I have subsequently felt guilty about enjoying it.

Sad but true. We tried to find a theater showing it, but the staff I used to locate the theater was too long.
