golfing johnny englander?

Wandered out to the movies to catch Johnny English, which opened in the US yesterday, and.. yep, disposable, dumb, and reasonably hilarious, just the way I like it. Naturally, Rowan Atkinson does things right, but top marks for the sly plot, the use of corgis as hostages, and John Malkovich's accent _and_ haircut.

On the videogame bargain front, watch out for the GameCube title Swingerz Golf, otherwise known as Ace Golf in the wife-swapping-unfriendly European lands, which is an entirely fun Hot Shots Golf-style super-deformed, uhh, golf game, and can be picked up for the princely sum of $10, at least at my local KB Toys. Interesting control method, too, pushing the yellow analog stick back and then forward in a straight line at the right time. Now I just need to find the time to sit down for a round.. And if you're in the US and are looking out for videogame bargains, Cheap Ass Gamer is a great help nowadays. Not that I'm a cheap ass. No, honestly.

[Oh, and thanks to Loonyboi for hooking me up with a source for the comments RSS addition - seems to be working now. But now I have no excuse like 'they can't see the comments box' when people don't comment. Curses, foiled again.]
