"Cheesy" movies are not limited to Spaghetti Westerns. Why not specify the type of cheese? If the film simply stinks, it undoubtedly qualifies as a Limburger, Vieux Boulogne, or perhaps Gorgonzola. If there are too many plot holes, call it Swiss Cheese. If the film suffers from stiltedness, why not call it a Stilton? Overly dry humor or wit suggests a Parmesan or Romano, while bland or insipid content might be called Buffalo Mozzarella. A film made quickly and cheaply (even if glossily) recalls American Cheese, while overly mushy emotionality suggests Cottage Cheese. And, of course, so-called "blue movies" would be Bleu Cheese. Cheesy movies are often quite entertaining and good in their own way, in which case we might call them Gouda.

This coloring book contains 89 images of white things, printed on white paper. Is one to fill in these images with a white crayon? Or is one to let go of the crayon and practice the Taoist concept of wu-wei (actionless action)?
"Happiness writes white. It does not show up on the page." —Henry de Montherlant (1895-1972) (via DJMisc) Happiness also colors white.

Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley were considered for roles in Disney's remake of The Parent Trap, but they were rejected because even identical twins have some differences. (In this morphed photo, Natalie's face is on one side, and Keira's face is on the other. Can you tell them apart?) Lindsay Lohan ended up starring in The Parent Trap, only to be criticized for being too one-dimensional to play two roles. (Thanks, June!)
