I actually have that website that Jonah linked to in the form of a coffee table book. My favorite is the Orleans cover of the five shirtless and likely naked dudes. The guy second from left is repeating “Please let this never end, please let this never end” over and over.

On the upside, we actually enjoyed two movies recently out on DVD, and I know that’s news because I rarely have anything positive to say about movies that don’t feature a certain austere sect of superhuman space knights. One, covered by Derb yesterday, is Team America, which is just high-larious. Derb’s spot on — very gross, very funny, not for everyone, though my wife loved it. Kim Jung-Il steals the show.

The other is House of Flying Daggers, which is a love story with spectacular martial arts sequences, as opposed to a kung fu movie with some kissing. Ziyi Zhang is the female lead, a blind girl who is part of an austere sect of superhuman non-space knights who vex the autocratic Chinese government by throwing dozens of knives of them.

Ziyi is also cute cute cute. The story has a number of good twists and the fights have that Crouching Tiger ballet thing going on. First rate.

Also, both movies feature a “Mendoooozzzaaa!” moment, one in Chinese and played straight, one with puppets and played for laughs.
