WHAT THE FUCK?! Nancy “Bart Simpson’s Voice” Cartwright gave a stunning $10M to the cause of Scientology, almost two times her annual take from the long-running sit-com. Seriously … $10M! For her efforts, she gets the Patron Laureate Award, which amount to more than the religion’s vice-leader Tom Cruise’s donations over the last four years (circa $5M). Cartwright joins the likes of Kirstie Alley and Priscilla Presley, the latter (who suffers from a fear of flying, but not Scientology) picking up Diamond Meritorious Award for a $5M donation, the former a Patron Award for a paltry $50k. Prizes are apparently handed out at a top secret ceremony in Florida.

Movie #3593
Bombay Talkie
James Ivory, 1970, UK
I added this to my NetFlix queue as my new wife and I have been listening to a song from its soundtrack, “Typewriter, Tip Tip Tip Tip”, since she heard it on the [Heavily Plagiarised] Darjeeling Limited OST. However, the film is as boring as it is ridiculously melodramatic. A love triangle between three utterly unbelievably and uninteresting characters – a female English writer, an Indian writer, and a Bollywood star – I can barely remember anything that happened because I cared so little. James Ivory – you should (and usually do) know better.
