Insane with Butterflies

The back yard was full of orange butterflies this morning. I'm not sure what they were; this site didn't have anything that looked exactly like it. (Why isn't there a butterfly equivalent to Identifont?)

The foley-only soundtrack to Monsters, Inc. is almost hypnotic. No voices, no music; just footfalls, creaks, slams and various other sound effects.

Speaking of voices, I wonder why David Hyde-Pierce wasn't listed in the credits for Hellboy? At first, I thought Abe Sapien's voice was done by Maurice LaMarche, because through the speakerphone in his water tank, he sounded just like Gus from Tripping the Rift. Once Abe was on dry land, however, his unfiltered voice was clearly that of Niles Crane.

Oh, while on the Hellboy subject — if the world was ending due to all Hell breaking loose, would a newspaper have the time to print up an issue about it? (Moira, if you don't like tentacles, you might want to skip this movie...)

I've been watching the Cirque du Soleil intermittently on Bravo all weekend. The acrobats are astounding; the contortionists are horrifying, but I can't tear my eyes off them.
