Mystic River

Matt says: Go see it! There's no kung fu, no hobbits, no pirates, no ghosts, no superheroes, no eunuch sorcerers, no dancing furniture, no bug-eyed monsters or any of the rest of that bullshit. Just good acting, good direction, and a good story. Forget that fanboy crap and go see it.

43 Homeless Gnomes

Years ago, the Garden Gnome Liberation Front "liberated" dozens of gnomes outside the French city of Strasbourg. 75 of the kidnapped gnomes were later abandoned at the Saint-Die-des-Vosges cathedral. Two years later, most of the old owners don't want them back, leaving 43 gnomes in the care of the French foster-care system.

I'm sure this will inspire a D&D adventure out of somebody.
