White you’re at it, check out the Stranger’s website redesign. Major props to Anthony and Corianton, because this was truly a monumental task (you should skip the Slog/Stranger blog unless you’re desperate for more gratuitous, masturbatory, unedited hipper-than-thou writing).

Lastly, here’s a great new trailer for Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: The Johnny Depp Show.
