Their
story about a clown fish that loses his son and battles impossible odds to find him is funny, smart, thrilling, sweet and heartbreaking.
Lets
forget about that clown please, repeatedly mentioning his name on our forums will just make him feel important.

Honestly, how can you go wrong with a
story about a clown that goes nuts and goes on a rampage.
Now The Guardian reports, in an item with a fantastic headline («Schrader to direct death camp clown tale» — sounds like a great name for a Northwest band) that Paul Schrader will direct Jeff Goldblum in an adaptation of Israeli writer Yoram Kaniuk's novel «Adam Resurrected,»
about a clown who entertains Jews on their way to the gas chambers.
Should we have warned
