I don't know about you, but he always seems weird (not in a good way) when I see him in interviews. Don't know if something happened to him between his heyday as a heartthrob and the years thereafter, but I don't particular trust what he says about it either way.
I saw Curtis in a live interview at the Film Forum here in NYC about ten years ago, between a double feature of Some Like It Hot and Sweet Smell of Success (Now that's a double feature!), and he was entertaining but clearly almost certifiably insane, sporting a platinum-blond shoulder-length wig, an even blonder girlfriend (wife?). and a super-weird demeanor. It was fun but rather sad. |

OMG!
And I agree with you about that double bill. |

Further proof that every generation strives to become what their parents were not. Jamie Lee appears to be the epitome of well-adjusted normalcy. |

Yeah, but according to everything I have ever heard, her mother Janet Leigh was one of the most likeable and well-adjusted of movie stars. Leigh was clearly acting smart to dump Curtis, even though I think they remained friendly through the years. From what I've heard it was practically impossible to dislike Janet Leigh. |

How long do the ides last? It's already the 16th here and although I had to weather the remnants of a hurricane that had wrought havoc across the south Pacific, so far I have survived the weekend unknifed or otherwise unharmed. |

I ate a Caesar salad, but otherwise did not observe the Ides.
I, too, have wondered about the plural usage.
Friday was International Pi Day, and also Einstein's birthday. I took an interesting ride in an elevator. |

Very cool stuff. Now, just tell me what dark energy is. |

One theory that a physicist friend of mine likes is that dark energy is composed of mass-varying neutrinos. If you google that phrase, you may find some hints (of varying intelligibility) on just what those MVNs are.
Also, this blogger at Caltech manages to write fairly lucidly on the subject....

You can skip the parts where he starts spouting math, and still get a good sense of the theory that dark energy is essentially an aspect of space itself (Einstein had an early take on this, which was called "the cosmological constant"). |

It's the dark side of the force times distance. |
