The original is about eleven times sexier, and when Tommy makes his amazing slo-mo diving catch at the end of the film, you can see a special glint in his eye that says, "This egg is the crystallized brain of L. Ron Hubbard, and one day, I too will have my brain turned into a glass egg for others to put on their mantle and enjoy."
As a non-Clear, I will have to make do with a "stunning" knock-off.
I'm picturing the 2009 version with some Baker barrel chairs in white ostrich, a giant Franz Klein on the wall, and a pantsless Nicolas Ghesquiere breath-polishing it to a perfect shine. Alternately, you/I could use it to hold up your/my well-thumbed collection Sookie Stackhouse novels, with an unopened copy of Heidegger's An Introduction to Metaphysics thrown in to impress your/my internet dates.
In reality though, I would probably just pretend I was Edie from Out of this World, and use it to talk to the disembodied voice of my alien father.
See? It has so many uses! Thanks, Egg!

My family owns the egg. We're trying to find out anything and everything we can about the one made for the movie and any and all other eggs like it that exist. We were told when we bought it that it was one of three but it's the exact same design and same designer. I have a picture of it, if you'd like to see. Just e-mail me at tuxedoencore@aol.com.
