Today was Talk Like a Pirate Day, and I missed it. I have a legitimate pirate book post, but it will have to wait. Damn.
In other news, the movie for Everything Is Illuminated is out yall. Nextbook points out that there have been some changes (warning: link has spoilers). For example, that whole shtetl half of the book? Gone. Actor Liev Shreiber directs. The role of the hilarious Ukrainian guide, Alex, is played by Eugene Hutz, the Ukrainian singer/frontman for the group Gogol Bordello. Holy shit are they good. Sort of a Clash-meets-the-Pogues-puts-on-a-production-of-Fiddler-on-the-Roof kind of thing. Really. Someone babysit for me so I can check it (the movie).
