i'm feeling a bit under the weather this morning. i think i managed to break the cold from overriding my system last night. thank god. but my stomach still feels weird. i'm considering calling in sick to work tonight. this'll be a short newsbites edition:

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Special Extended DVD Edition) only $34.99 at Future Shop! amazing price (they're usually selling them at the lowest price of $37.99).

the uk international Batman teaser poster is outstanding.

Pantera's Dimebag Darrell was shot dead at a show.

and this is too insanely great -- Colin Farrell will guest star on an episode of Scrubs next month :) i hope they're not fucking with us.

Michael Stipe on Radiohead fans:
…at a Radiohead show in New York at the Beacon Theatre. It was a televised thing, and they had sold tickets for $2. The entire place was filled with fanatic Radiohead fans. Typically at a Radiohead show, everyone sings along to every song; they know every lyric. Sometimes you can’t even hear Thom Yorke’s voice over the din of the audience. But this night, when they walked onstage and started playing the first song, the audience was quiet, reverential. No one was singing along to any of the songs. It wasn’t until they played the song “No Surprises” that says “the government, they don’t speak for us.” And on that line, every single person in that room shouted out “the government, they don’t speak for us!” and on the next line of the lyric, they were dead quiet again. I was there with a group of people, including Q-Tip, and I looked over and Tip, and his mouth was hanging open. And I was like, “Did that just happen?” and he just nodded his head yes.

i actually called in sick this morning -- after i actually got sick. urgh. not a good thing to go through. it'd been a while since my body last did that to me. fucker.

i didn't know Colin Farrell's guest shot on Scrubs was a super secret thing. according to Zach Braff the episode's already been shot.
