Another typical Sunday where I did little and should've done a heck of alot more. Anybody with any ideas for what I can do on my Sundays are greatly welcomed.

I had the most surreal dreams last night, mainly involving a series of books I follow and I going into the book store and seeing on sale (and it was like ultra-low cost sale) dozens of books in the series that I never heard of (and don't exist in reality).

Oh how sometimes I wish that was for real.

Got the original 1960 version of "Little Shop of Horrors" sitting next to me to watch. I bought it at one of those massive DVD warehouse sails back in January but I never got around to watching it. Jack Nicholson's name and face alone takes up half the space on the front cover even though he is only in the movie for a few minutes (he was the sado-masochistic Dental patient that was played by Bill Murray in the 1986 Musical Version).

It is funny that they advertised the movie through him even though his role is really tiny. But this isn't the first time I have scene this done. Normally though I have scene it on ads for various movies that are played on television, even though the actor in question only has one scene at best. A few years ago I remember an advertisement for the showing of "Brewster's Millions" on television and they gave Rick Moranis higher billing then Richard Pryor or John Candy, even though he had maybe two lines in one scene (at the party). I have scene it a few other times normally with X hot star at the moment being heavily advertised even though they are barely in the movie.
