Danny Boyle (and Stephen Daltry, whoever THAT is) has been selected as the creative director of the 2012 Winter Olympics in London. Good choice! Unrelated: remember that part in Slumdog Millionaire when that kid jumped into a toilet? Oh, on a totally different note, remember that part in Trainspotting where that baby died?

  8. Remember that part in A Life Less Ordinary where that movie was such a mess.

    • Shallow Grave was pretty good, though. When I found out they were a trilogy (SG, ‘spotting, Life) I was kinda all, “Really, Danny Boyle?” Are you sure it’s not, like, a decent pair with a really limp Cameron Diaz vehicle thrown in to make the other two look good? (TWSS?)

    • That movie has a place in my heart, Ewan McGregor singing “Beyond the Sea” is what I wanna hear right before I die.

  9. They select creative directors after mascots were chosen for the 2012 olympics?

  10. Don’t forget Trainspotting’s toilet diving scene! Danny Boyle has a toilet fetish.

  11. I really don’t look forward to listening to people complain about how the last events are a convoluted mess and turned into a slasher flick for no reason, when really, there was a reason, I had it all worked out once.

  12. The 2012 Olympics should start with the opening scene from 28 Days Later, where Jim wakes up in a hospital to a deserted London. After wandering around for a while to swelling post-rock he gets to the stadium and realizes that the streets are deserted because everyone in the world is at the Olympics. Then Jim is happy.
