Pinch me. Please.

I am happy today. Because I saw this:

Christopher Walken Will Play Zeus in Modern Day Comedy Gods Behaving Badly


First, the movie itself should be good. Second, anything with Christoper Walken is worth the price of admission. He makes an appearance in an attraction at Universal Studios Florida that would otherwise suck but is brilliant thanks to how he says "Hello" to the audience. (He does more than that - but he had me at "Hello.") Now he plays Zeus? Just awesome.

Mostly, though, I am happy because this will make a hell of a red carpet for the premiere. Think about it - Walken, Edie Falco, John Turturro, Phylicia Rashad and... wait for it...

Sharon Stone.

Yes, Sharon F-ing Stone will play Aphrodite in this movie. And then she'll walk the red carpet for that. I am dying to see what kind of crazy she brings for that, the contrast when Edie rocks it as she usually does, and the "WOW-uh" from Christopher for each.

I wonder if the gods like the sound of cowbell.
