• Questions about the Montage Resort Killings in Laguna

  Initial media reports about Sunday's improbable double killing at a ritzy Laguna Beach resort didn't mention who did the killing. Call me jaded, but that's odd. Always pause when journalists fail to provide answers to the basics: Who? What? When? Where? How? In this case, the Who? and the How? were missing or wrong. Oops. Based on Sgt. Jason Kravetz, a Laguna Beach police spokesman, first reports in the Orange County Register suggested that a "wild . . . crazy" married couple may have perished

• Comic-Con 2007: Beowulf Cummin' At'cha

  It's not clear how aware the rest of the world is of the new Beowulf movie, but it's quite the huge deal here. Coming out in November in 3-D, 3-D IMAX, and plain old regular (not the way to see it if you can help it), this is a performance-capture animated film, a la Polar Express. I'm going to assume "spoilers" aren't a huge issue in the story of Beowulf, but if you don't know the names of the monsters he kills, possible spoilers ahead. First, though -- the obvious question on most people's m

• Comic-Con follow-up: See Naked CG Angelina for Yourself

  No doubt some readers recall my description of the Beowulf footage shown at Comic-Con, featuring a photo-realistic 3-D naked Angelina Jolie as Grendel's mother. While you won't see that exact footage until the film comes out later this fall, you can get a glimpse of all of Jolie, and much more, in the new Internet-exclusive, age-restricted Beowulf trailer. As you'll see -- assuming you can get past the age filter -- some of the CG people look better than others, to put it mildly. But Jolie lo

  Orange County Register: OMG, these Los Alamitos middle school Noobs were busted passing around nude photos of an eighth grader on their cell phones. LOL!

• Kogi at Diamond Jamboree Tonight. You've Been Warned.

  As you know, OC is now serviced by a dedicated Kogi truck nicknamed Naranja. But tonight, Kogi will land at Diamond Jamboree (10:30 p.m.-midnight). This sounds like either a very very good idea or a very very bad idea. I vote bad, because parking at the Asian minimall is hell as it is. Add a few hundred people standing in line for a taco truck? That's more hysteria than if aliens decide to make first contact at a sci-fi convention. Suffice it to say, I will not be there. It's past my bed
