ScoreKeper Asks If Grusin's Score For THE GOONIES Is Good Enough For You?
Greetings! ScoreKeeper here with a subtle reminder that what's good enough for you is good enough for me! Every major soundtrack collector and film score enthusiast throughout the world maintains a wish list of holy grails and cherished treasures that percolate their own fantasies of movie music bliss. For years my own personal wish list was crowned by THE RIGHT STUFF (1983) by Bill Conti. My dream turned into reality last year when Varèse Sarabande finally announced the release of this heart-pumping, adrenaline surging, flag-waving collection of anthems worthy of the moniker "the right stuff."
With THE RIGHT STUFF firmly ensconced in my collection, what new coveted film score would rise up and take the seat at my number one slot? For me, it was an easy choice: THE GOONIES (1985) by Dave Grusin. I have wanted to own this music for so long! It is one of Dave Grusin's finest and a staple adventure score of the 1980s.
Ask and we shall receive. Who is that who was come to the rescue yet again, but none other than Varèse Sarabande!
Varèse Sarabande just announced this morning that they are releasing THE GOONIES as part of their limited edition Soundtrack Club series. The bad news is that this is a limited edition title and will most assuredly sell out as most of their Soundtrack Club titles do. The good news is that the limit is 5000 copies and not 3000, 1500, or 1000 as are the majority of their other titles. This means that it probably won't sell out tomorrow (hmmm? at least I hope).
I'm utterly ecstatic! This is such a wonderful score and it has been neglected for far too long. Legal entanglements kept this off the market for nearly three decades while wistful fans longed for the day when they can enjoy this fantastic film score!
Here is a track listing for the new disc:
1. Fratelli Chase (2:49)
2. Map and Willie (2:16)
3. The Goondocks (Goonies Theme) (2:04)
4. Doubloon (1:47)
5. Lighthouse (1:19)
6. Cellar and Sloth (1:41)
7. Restaurant Trash (:55)
8. The "It," Fifty Dollar Bills and a Stiff (4:36)
9. It All Starts Here (1:30)
10. Plumbing (1:25)
11. Skull and Signature (3:25)
12. Boulders, Bats and a Blender (2:33)
13. Wishing Well and the Fratellis Find Coin (2:49)
14. Mikey’s Vision (1:52)
15. Oath and Bobby Traps (1:06)

17. Pee Break and Kissing Tunnel (2:06)
18. They’re Here and Skull Cave Chase (3:03)

25. Sloth & Chunk (1:58)
26. Mama & Sloth (1:58)
27. The Fighting Fratellis, Sloth's Choice and Ultimate Booby Trap (3:24)
28. The Reunion and Fratellis on Beach (3:39)
29. No Firme and Pirate Ship (2:42)
30. End Titles (Goonies Theme) (3:06)

32. Triple Stones and a Ball (original version) (1:54)
33. They're Here and Skull Cave Chase (original version) (1:55)
Octopus (original version) (1:03)
Varèse Sarabande also announced this morning they would be releasing THE SPIRAL ROAD (1962) by Jerry Goldsmith (limited to 3000 copies), THE SCOUT (1994) and DREAMER (1979) by Bill Conti (limited to 1000 copies), and THE MANHATTAN PROJECT (1986) by Philippe Sarde (limited to 1000 copies).
Thanks Varèse Sarabande for keeping up your due diligence in order to get this score released.

Nuff said...
-
I don't love it.
-
THE RIGHT STUFF - yes! 10/10 classic flick imho.
But THE GOONIES... i'm sorry to say ive just never 'got' the geek love for this film. I don't want to be a downer cos I know alot of people are crazy about this movie - so can anyone articulate why it's held in high esteem? -
Cobra-Kai, it's the sense of adventure that I love the most. It's not a masterpiece but puts a smile on my face. I grew up with it so I'm a little biased.
-
The same reason abortion 'A Christmas Story' is the GREATEST MOVIE EVER. People just associate it with their childhoods which are usually a "better" time in their lives. It's the same reason everybody hated Indy 4. The original three were JUST as ridiculous, but the films reminded people of days long since past, thus romanticizing their memories of said films.
-
In an age where the CD is already dying, they want $19.98 plus $4.50 to ship it. Glad I've already had this soundtrack for years, because otherwise I'd be tempted... but not at that price.
-
is Grusin's terrific score to My Bodyguard (Matt Dillon, Chris Makepeace).
-
As long as there's no Cyndi Lauper songs, this will be awesome.
-
My Science Project, or Joe Dante's Explorers. That is, I remember it, not bad, watched it a few times. But nowhere near the quality of same-era fare like Poltergeist or Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom or E.T.
-
It's about time. "Fratelli Chase" ended up being used in tons of trailers for other movies.
-
It appeals to my nostalgia because of the era and style of film-making it evokes, even though I didn't see it for the first time until I was in my late twenties. Maybe thirty. I still love that film. I saw the Goonies, first run. I don't have the same nostalgia for that film.Speaking of Chris Makepeace, whatever happened to that guy?
-
that's a really nice cover design. Much better than the UK's theatrical poster.
-
... of Goonies theatrical posters.
-
for this film. I mean, if you saw it when you were 6 years old, I can understand a certain amount of nostalgia....but this isn't that great a movie. It focuses mostly on whiney brats who scream CONSTANTLY at shit that's not scary.
-
Goonies was immensely better than Explorers which was good until they got to the alien spaceship and then the movie took a horrifically awful turn - the worst alien designs and portrayals I have ever seen on film.
-
So fuck off.
-
I don't blame you for being late to the party... I blame your parents
-
Ordered. How you can't love this film , I have no idea. Your loss.
-
Also, the Fratellis were bonafide killers, who were basically chasing the Goonies to kill them for being witnesses. And also Chunk came face to face with a frozen stiff. Definitely scary stuff for a kid.
-
I downloaded tracks from this soundtrack back during the Napster heyday of 2000-2001. Where did those tracks come from if there wasn't a proper release? What I had was really the Fratelli Chase (AWESOME bit of music there) and main theme, but I wonder now where it came from. A foreign release maybe? Cant wait for this. Consider it purchased.
-
Love this movie. It always makes me feel like a kid again. I long for a sequel with the original cast.
-
And that's the important distinction here.
-
just not in the US. I've had a full score for a few years now
-
I don't give a fuck what all you negative types say. That film is a brilliant piece of escapism that is much better than Harry Potter and 90 % of the crap that is aimed at kids today.
-
Not the movie. Discuss the score, idiots! This is a landmark release - this, BTTF and the upcoming Spartacus release are giving me many orgasms!
-
Ordered mine. I've wanted this music for home movie/photo montage soundtracking for a long time. Looking forward to this coming in the mail!
-
Nobody gives a fuck if you can't understand why people have fond memories of The Goonies.
There's tons of movies people love that I find particularly awful. The difference is I never feign ignorance and pretend not to understand why people like them in the first place. -
so great that it's finally getting a release, and a proper VS one, at that!
-
I'm not an expert on this, but I believe there was a limited release in the late-80's. But it was only select portions of the score, not the whole thing. I think it was packaged as a 2fer combined CD with selected music from Harry and the Hendersons (also Grusin.) But this VS release looks to have at least 65-70 minutes of music on it. I'm SO in score-geek heaven!
-
waited so long for a decent release of this one. Thank you, Varese!
-
for the alert. Without which, I might not have heard about this until it was too late.
-
you said it. The BTTF double disc set was another "holy grail" checked off the list this year. A-MAZING! Didn't know about the Spartacus release. Thanks for the tip!
-
SCORE-GASM! SCORE-GASM! SCORE-GASM! SCORE-GASM! SCORE-GASM! SCORE-GASM!
-
I'm going back to work, now....
-
Fuck the haters, your all retarded.
-
= whack-off material..Martha Plimpton= not so much
-
Goonies was the bomb
-
that's what i said! Booty Traps! and nolan bautista...the redheads ALWAYS should win out.
-
I guess there is an audience for children running around and fake Home-Alone-style-screaming for 2 hours. Have fun with that. I'll stick with stuff that doesn't suck pointey-headed retard dick.
-
I think your timeline is a bit off there, chief.
-
Original SoundTrack that is.
If it were the original then they would SCREAM it.
I'm sure it will be fine though. -
I mean, they're all fairly cliche characters (the mouth, the frail one, the techie, etc) but they all come across as fully realized people. I think that's one of the reasons The Goonies has stuck with so many people.
-
I remember us playing Goonies on the playground in gradeschool. Everyone wanted to be Data (because what young male doesn't love awesome gadgets?) and we'd always make the kid we hated be Chunk. Truffle Shuffle!!!
-
its the cheerleader outfit that got me..cool name btw
-
"The Goonies" was one of my favorite movies growing up. Yes, it does have something to do with being young, watching the movie when it came out in theaters (twice in one weekend for me) and wishing for a type of adventure like that. It's not to do with "films from a better era" or anything like that - it's more to do with the fact that this movie is perfect rainy Saturday afternoon viewing. It's a lot of fun and certainly a fuck of a lot better than what passes for kids' fare these days. Also, when I was young, I had the soundtrack album, which had all the pop music on it and one instrumental score track by Dave Grusin, which happened to be called "The Goonies Theme". I thought for sure it would be the aggressive leitmotif of the chase sequences, but it turned out to be the "reflective" theme that was played over, like, maybe TWO scenes in the entire movie. Having this score is a must for me; it's one of the film's ingredients that draw me to it over and over again. I've ordered my copy and wait eagerly for its delivery. Thank you very much, ScoreKeeper - your presence on this site is invaluable.
-
GREAT site nick. I wonder how many people actually get that? Besides yourself and Nolan Bautista...
-
Every film in your collection is a masterpiece I'm sure. Your shit stinks just like everyone else on here.
-
That consists of prepubescent brats running around screaming their asses off like fucking MaCauley Culkin (obviosly I wasn't saying they were copying him. If anything it was the other way around) for 2 fucking hours at Halloween costumes.My impression of The Goonies:All kids: (screaming)Chunk! Stop eating that!Chunk: (screaming) I'll eat it if I want!Chunk turns around and sees a giant retard.....he screams.Chunk: (screaming)Hey guys, there's a pointy-headed retard!Kids: (screaming) Oh shut up Chunk there is not.Kids see retard.....they scream.They all run screaming.Stereotype asian kid: (screaming) hey guys, I found a secret lever!Kids run for the trap door while screaming.Fat kid gets stuck in hole.Chunk: (screaming)Guys! Don't leave me!Kids: (screaming) Come on lardass!Spider lands on Chunk's face........he screams.Repeat for 2 hours.
-
The girls did most of the screaming. Sure, everybody got one in (Even Brand, when his bike flew off the road), but it was mainly the two girls in tow.
-
It's quite apparent by your "impression" that you've never even seen The Goonies.
-
Jango won't let lil' boba watch it yet.
-
from a movie that is tops in my opinion.
-
but it's incomplete without it.
-
I saw this movie opening weekend and was old enough to remember it vividly :(
-
that was the grail for me. Finally found it on a Spanish torrent site last year. No, I don't mean the Bon Jovi one.
-
Troy Perkins! Always trying to shit on the Goon Squad like the little bitch he was.
-
I'd rather spend $25 for an actual, pressed CD than $10 for a crummy internet download with no artwork or liner notes. Fuck you, Disney, for not releasing Michael Giacchino's OSCAR-NOMINATED Up score on an actual CD.And soundtrack "Holy Grails" are popping up left and right lately. BTTF, Predator, Black Sunday, and now The Goonies. "You know, guys...I am wondering what is in that bag."
-
I was in my mid 20's when I first saw it, and I loved it. I was a kid that that didn't even celebrate Christmas, so there's nothing about the film sparking my nostalgia. It's just a funny, well made movie with alot of heart, and it's become a Christmas tradition in my house.
-
That is the complete score to The Black Hole.
Though the complete score to Moonraker does come a close second. -
It's like hating on 'The Monster Squad.'
-
Harry... you can afford proper talkback software man.
-
So? Fuck off... Go spout your pseudo-intellectual movie babble somewhere else so the rest of us can revisit this brilliant kids movie from the 80s and enjoy the nostalgia.
-
If you have iTunes, you can download the score of "The Black Hole". I don't think it's incomplete, and it's a fairly decent download. Or you can get the record on eBay or something. I just did both, personally...
-
to those claiming they've had the score for years, guaranteed it wasn't an official release. most of bootlegs floating about were cobbled together from a laserdisc release, which had an isolated music track.
-
just wanted to type it again
-
His dad lost his head and lil Boba lost his sense of humor.
-
One reason the movie is so beloved is precisely because of the score! As opposed to Gremlins where the score was pretty much standard issue stuff that wasn't particularly noteworthy (it WAS by Jerry Goldsmith after all), it's impossible to imagine The Goonies being as entertaining or even having the same feel without the utterly original and totally indispensable Grusin score. The Fratelli chase sets the perfect tone for the movie right off the bat, with its sense of tongue-in-cheek thrills, chills and spills. The music in the attic when they discover the map is absolutely haunting. It adds a surprising amount of dramatic weight to the quest, reminding us that this movie isn't just a comedy but also a real adventure where people we care about are in real peril. The fantastic score even papers over some of the movie's flaws. I'm not sure Mikey's speech in the well is all that inspiring as written, but the Grusin music is so touching and inspirational, there almost didn't need to be any dialogue at all for the scene to work. There are plenty of suspenseful action cues during the underground chase scenes, lighthearted interludes like the waterslide and absolutely breathtaking crescendos during the final scene as the pirate ship sets sail. This is one of the most inspired and inspiring movie scores I've ever heard. It was one of the few that tried to compete in the same arena as all the John Williams' adventure classics (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Superman, E.T.) and truly held its own. Many of us film music fans have been waiting for this CD for a very, very, very long time. For me, there is unlikely to be another entertainment event this year that will match the release of this CD for anticipation, excitement and (expected) satisfaction.

Woah, that was crazy. Where are my friggin' pants?
-
You got all your molecules?
-
We can claim the whole thing.
-
I love ScoreKeeper's articles though- let's give him a post count that he can tell his mom about.
-
Uhhh.... TURKEY!!!
-
Coming to an IMax near you. This Summer!
-
where I won't be able to claim first typo.ScoreKeper, indeed.
-
So you hate The Goonies... So? Fuck off! lol Personally, I love the Goonies, but hadn't ever really thought about it's score all that much. I remember it being orchestral and pretty loud.
-
I think what happened to him is fate. By that I mean, it seems to happen to all the comics, even the "edgier" ones. If they yearn to be in movies, eventually, they just jettison their youthful style and volunteer for Hollywood and family-friendly comedy.
-
great post on your blog about the NFL. I don't watch as much of the Rams as I used to. One reason...Leonard Little. Killed a woman while drunk driving. His sentence: 90 days in jail, four years probation and 1,000 hours of community service. He later was arrested again for DWI and found not guilty, despite failing three Field Sobriety Tests and admitting to drinking to the Police. He should be banned from the NFL and still in prison.
Makes me sick what sports figures can get away with.
(reposted due to BAMF) -
I love GOONIES. I love Kerri Green, which, incidentally is how my Japanese friend Kaz pronounces "Kelly Green." I love that guy- damn near killed me when he tried to say "Lloyds of London." Try it out.
-
Robin Williams seems to stick out as something a little different to me. As a stand-up the dude it just the embodiment of a 100 speed binges gone wrong. But as an actor he's been able to reign that in all the way back to 'The World According To Garp'. But most comedians definitely fall into the trap you describe above. Murphy fell really deep, though. I guess a lot of people dig those movies where he does ten different character and/or talks to animals. They aren't my cup o' tea.
-
I'm glad you see where I'm coming from- it's not about moral preaching because I'm as flawed as the next guy. I'm just done investing my time, money and emotions into something that I feel is an illusion of something that was once great.
-
...further up the thread. Just made me laugh.
-
When he was starting out, he had an attitude but that was part of his act- you know, to raise a little hell. But he was experimental, he pushed buttons (my favorite SNL skit of his was when he went undercover as a white guy). But at this point, he's all "I'm Eddie, motherfuckers!" and he's completely unable to drop the ego and do really funny stuff.
-
And it's big!

where to begin with my relationship with my main girl natalie??? should i start with her deciding to slum it up in those indie ventures collectively known as STAR WARS? or should i tell you about how and why im not allowed within 200 yards of her? no. perhaps we should start at the beginning like every good story should...
i remember flipping thru the latest iss of EW in some boring high school class and came across the review (A- if i remember correctly) of THE PROFESSIONAL, nee LEON. i was hooked by the premise and having liked LA FEMME NIKITA (lured by landis' INNOCENT BLOOD--but i digress) i was on my waay to the movies..my natalie gives a sensational performance as an abused and orphaned child who is determined to avenge her brothers death.i was in love with this petite girl at first sight..that choker didnt hurt either.
onto a little film named HEAT..wow this girl has a kickass agent for getting her roped into great films..playing off her teenage manic schtick, she did her part, though unfortunately, its the weakest part of the film.
she more than redeemed herself with her next film, ted "anyone down for a game of hoops" demme's BEAUTIFUL GIRLS..such a great little film and a very mature performance from ms. portman. literally stole the film from all involved in my opinion..if i ever have a girl, her name will be marty because of this film
after her stunning turn in BEAUTIFUL GIRLS, woody allen chose to use his perceptive skills of using actresses before they REALLY HIT IT BIG...hence the musical EVERYONE SAYS I LOVE YOU..a quaint lil film from the wood man. shes respectable..
next is MARS ATTACKS, arguably tim burtons last real film..where she holds her own against glenn close and jack as their daughter..so much is going on in this film that really no one really makes an impression, which i think is the point..everyone is playing an outdated overblown stereotype, and if thats the case, she brought her A-GAME.
after her born to play role on broadway of anne frank, she played whats-er-name in THE PHANTOM MENACE..oooh a dual role..say what you will of the film and the wooden delivery of the lines..she looks great in the kabuki costume..natalie has to eat too!
didnt see ANYWHERE BUT HERE or WHERE THE HEART IS..so we dive into ATTACK OF THE CLONES..yikes..ok ok she doesnt get to wear the kabuki costume anymore and goes for a more natural look..the lines are stiff still...dont worry i think it gets better with..
COLD MOUNTAIN..another ensemble piece and damn even she looks luscious as a civil war widow (?) who takes in jude..this film is great and works suprisingly well..and natalie does great in a small part..
GARDEN STATE..officially her first manic pixie muse role..i will say for the record that i hold no ill will towards zach braff but i think i exclusively wrote and directed this film so he could hook up with natalie..all in all its good, but an introverted mope fest.
with a giant gasp of relief, natalie chose to star in CLOSER..a powderkeg of a film and i really cant tell whos side im on in that film..damn shes so cute in this film...and her acting chops FINALLY earned her a nomination..all around a great film, just not one you wanna watch a lot.
REVENGE OF THE SITH..she finally cashes her last paycheck for her role as a doomed wife of lil ani! the best of the bunch, acting wise...
V FOR VENDETTA was good but i noticed in this film that my girl needs to eat more starches. i eally liked the shaved pate look..but hte script fell flate towards the end..
i missed her next few roles in PARIS J'ET AMI and GOYAS GHOSTS..and have been wanting to see MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS, with norah jones...
HOTEL CHEVALIER was a notable WTF moment that made a lot more sense when you watch its sequel--THE DARJEELING LIMITED..which even though natalie has a blink and you miss her shot, was awesome. very understated and paced the way a nice film should be.
missed THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL but my mom loves it..as did she like MR MAGORIUMS WONDER EMPORIUM, which i did have the (mis)fortune to see...hoffmans doing a depp-like turn as a toystore owner and natalie is the bright spot as an employee who just wants nothing more than working there..i think she played music too..radiant as ever..but the film sucked.
NEW YORK I LOVE YOU (a counterpart to PARIS...) followed which i havent seen and BROTHERS is coming out next week, so im sure ill see that happy little film..
which brings us to THOR and BLACK SWAN, another comic film and a darren aronofsky film...i repeat the girl knows how to pick them...
next time on "...OGRAPHY"----> ?????
-
You can even see it unfold in the AUSTIN POWERS series. The first movie was quirky, absurd and hilarious in my opinion. The third one was almost a cynical retread, like Meyers was sitting there thinking "Is this what these fuckers wanna watch? Fine!"
I'm sitting here trying to think of a comedian who has sustained his or her appeal over the course of decades... someone that has not lost that touch. George Carlin is all I can come up with. -
Hehehehehehehehe.
-
Are you going to announce it at the Shelter?
-
does it make a sound?
-
I'm actually pretty negative on Natalie Portman's acting, so I'm holding my fire. I do love the summary though, good work.
-
I hope I haven't jumped on his gun.I was just too happy and excited.

I already did my investigation.

Fire away..I know she ain't the greatest but she just seems so adorable

Looking at the Official Pedalback. It's about 500 posts long. Question: how do you get to the last page to see the most current posts? I know if there are new posts, there's a link to view them, but if there are no new posts, you just have to keep clicking "next" until you reach the end. What am I doing wrong??

Click Options, then click View As Tree. After the tree has expanded you can scroll to the bottom.

Favorite McQueen movie: BULLITT
-
Peckinpah playing cupid for steve and Ali in Mexico...too bad it didn't work fro
Baldwin and Vicki vale -
Wanna elaborate?
-
That is one of the best Natalie Portmanteau I have ever seen.
-
Most Revered McQueen: If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around, does it make a sound?
-
BULLITT comes second.
-
McQueen had the benefit of being in some major ensemble movies- GREAT ESCAPE, MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, etc. But the movies he did where he was the main star have a different feel, in my opinion. It would be like saying your favorite Marlon Brando movie is THE GODFATHER when he was only one of several integral parts. It would do Brando more credit to choose something where he dominated, like STREETCAR or WATERFRONT. I just wanna give McQueen his due.

Any beer left?

I type almost every day.
I just wish it was GOOD writing... -
I just kicked off a book myself yesterday. I'm keeping myself to at least 5 pages per day. So I'll have to have ten pages by the end of tonight. Is there still a writer's pact going on?
-
But I've got my own little pack with some friends of mine.
If you want to start up a new one, or maybe join the one I already got existing, I think you can hit me up my email at the shelter. -
to GOOD writing all the time, every page. As long as you keep typing.

Gimme a week to see where I land with this- thanks.

Hey, guys. I was actually laughing when I did the (apparently not) suicidal attack on Harry. I knew it was going to look ridiculous, and the humor in the following posts didn't let me down. I thought if I was to get banned, it better be funny.
There was an unintended twist to it. I didn't even read the headliner, let alone the article, so people thought I was the one who directed some stinker.
I have no hatred nor love for Harry, so it wasn't anything against him. I also wasn't stark raving mad like some thought, nor was I weepy-eyed and cutting my wrists. It was kinda freeing, in a funny way, though. -
...would anybody hear it?
First thing I'll say about Nats is that I never expected her to have a career after Star Wars. Because that's what happens, more often than not, to actors who didn't have some kind of established career prior to Star Wars. Since I'm on Star Wars I'll go ahead and comment on her work, there. I don't hate it, but I think it shows how wooden the actors were DIRECTED to be. We'd already seen that she could actually emote in The Professional, a film I really enjoy. In general I‘d have to agree that she‘s not an exceptional actress, but I don‘t think she‘s a bad one either. Jury‘s still out for me. She‘s still young and doesn’t appear to be going anywhere. Heat is a favorite of mine. It's a meditation on it's own genre. I love that Pacino and DeNiro don't speak to each other until the climax of the movie. And I'm a Val Kilmer fan. Wish the guy worked more, actually (guess the rumors are true). But I had honestly forgotten she was in that movie. I'm sure I've seen Beautiful Girls.. I mean, I know I have. But I don't remember it at all. And I may have a hard time re-watching it if Rosie O'Donnell is in it for any length of time. I dig Dillon, Hutton, Thurman, Rapaport and Plimpton, though. Man, why can't I remember that movie?For sure I've never seen 'Everyone Says I Love You'. I have no kind of a mission to see every Woody Allen film. When it happens, it happens.I'm a huge Tim Burton fan, disagree with what most people think of his more recent work, and I never liked Mars Attacks. Just never dug it. That, Sleepy Hollow and Charlie are my three least favorite Burton films. I liked Cold Mountain. Nice depressing little period piece with great acting from all involved. But again, her part isn't really sticking out in my memory. Probably because Nicole and Rene were so strong in that one.Garden State. I too hold no ill will towards Zach and I actually enjoyed this movie quite a bit. Friends and families do this kind of shit to each other... at least mine do. And I've stood on a cliff and screamed with a group of friends before. Wasn't raining, though. I guess I'm a fan of quirky little mope fests.I watched Closer once and I remember it being a tense and well acted study of the shitty things people do to each other in relationships. But here’s the thing, and I’m not sure if this has been gone over yet, I can’t stand Julia Roberts as an actress. I mean, DAMN! Can’t even watch her onscreen most times. Just bugs the crap out of me. So I think I’ve put most of this film out of my memory. I remember Nat’s ass looking particularly spectacular in the strip club scene, though. And I remember wondering, “what was Clive Owen thinking during the filming of that scene to keep things appropriate?” Because I would have failed. http://tinyurl.com/ylnxq6u
Hotel Chevalier was a huge WTF? for multiple reasons. One, it’s just a weird scene that doesn’t make a lot of sense on it’s own. Two, she gets all nekkid and stuff. Three, are the bruises all over her body real? That‘s what I remember most. I just figured, because of her hair cut, that it was filmed post V for Vendetta and they were. *shrug* http://tinyurl.com/dm7csa
I used to try and hate The Darjeerling Limited. But that was only because I was still angry at how much I REALLY hated The Life Aquatic (and still do). See, I was a huge fan of Bottle Rocket and The Royal Tenenbaum’s (one of my very favorite movies) and The Life Aquatic was just such a huge letdown for me (and still is). Nat’s not really in Darjeerling so much, so I won’t talk about it any longer than to say that I’ve grown to like it quite a bit.Dude, stop missing The Other Boylen Girl! Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson, what could be wrong with that? I really dug that film. It’s a bit of a “chick flick”, but it looks great and there’s plenty of Tudor era backstabbing going around. Plus, I think it may be Nat’s best acting this far. Mr. Magorium’s. Really, you think it sucked? I don’t know if I’d go that far. Not great, but I can’t give it suckage. However, it is one of those that I caught on a slow day of cable movie watching. Definitely seemed like Hoffman was trying to hard, but Jason Bateman being in it kinda made up for that. Sheeew. OK. Haven’t seen anything released since then, nor any of the things I didn’t comment on.

Estarcion's third aardvark, who has lived several lifetimes and has shaped the history of Estarcion. It is also a very common name and several people named "Suenteus Po" appear in the story in various roles — one as an enigmatic illusionist and another as a historian who narrates a sizable portion of Cerebus' first reign as Prime Minister of Iest (though it is very strongly implied that both these Pos are the aardvark). It is mentioned in High Society that some of the followers of the original Suenteus Po named their children after him. The name may be a playful mis-spelling of the name of Roman historian Suetonius.

Speaking of making love, I'll let you all in on a funny anecdote
by yackbacker
Saturday night, the lady and I are peeling off layers and I roll over to my nightstand to take out the condom and place it by the bed for quick access. I say the exact words aloud "Hold on babe, before I get jacked-up on a boner-rage, I gotta tee up this rubber."
I was immediately amazed at the sentence after the fact. I look over at my girl and she's crying laughing at me. The laughter goes on for about a solid minute. She asks me "What the fuck is wrong with you? Who says that?" but she's laughing the whole way through. Unfortunately this ground all hormones to a halt. But a half-hour later, we figured it all out again. -
Problem is, I probably won't be able to watch it until Thursday. You want to do a "Some Guy" on Friday?
-
Good anecdote!

The Rules, not yet ratified. Amendments are being heard.
by subtitles_off
THE FIRST RULE OF PEDALBACK
Scrape your fucking shoes! That shit can't be Dysoned out of my 70s-retro shag! No matter what your personal history with some other Talkbacker, you leave that childish crap at the door. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you and the other guy probably think there's a Right and a Wrong. So find yourselves a fucking STAR TREK or AVATAR thread and go to it over DEƒUCK® there!
That's how we can seperate The Noobs from The Peebs.
THE SECOND RULE OF PEDALBACK
Peebers are human. Humans make mistakes. It's the INTENTION that's important, not the word.
THE THIRD RULE OF PEDALBACK
Pop culture is TRIVIA. Discussing it is fun. Passion about it is good. Typing "Your Favorite Whatever sucks" is NOT the same thing as typing "You suck because you like Your Favorite Whatever." However,each Peeber, according to Rule #2, can only be in their own Peeberhead and can never really know where another draws their personal Line In The Sand.
Peebers will remember that at all times. We have thicker skins, and with thicker skins comes the responsibility of looking out for and protecting the thinner skinned ones, when we can.
THE FOURTH RULE OF PEDALBACK
We don't pile on. Yeah, drama can be funny. But, you poke too many grizzlies, and eventually Flick's art-school professor is gonna have to get his dick out. When a Peeber sees two others reaching for matches, a Peeber MEDIATES. A Peeber doesn't instigate.
THE FIFTH RULE OF PEDALBACK
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, leaves Pedalback for good without a two-day notice.
THE SIXTH RULE OF PEDALBACK
We take Steve McQueen as our guide, not Christian Bale. Steve McQueen didn't give a shit about Professionalism. Steve McQueen cared about class. Steve McQueen looked out for the little guy. Steve McQueen had a good relationship with all of his D.P.s. Steve McQueen knew how to treat a lady. Steve McQueen wasn't ever a pussy, either. it ain't about the size of your dick. It's about the fit and the gentle way you use it until you're given permission to use it rough.
THE SEVENTH RULE OF PEDALBACK
Anybody who leaves can backpedal anytime. It's our fucking name! No questions asked. No grudges held. No laying in wait for a good opportunity to pounce and get revenge. You scraped your shoes when you came in. If you were hiding some shit in a pocket, hoping to fling it later, you're a poser.
THE EIGHTH RULE OF PEDALBACK
There is a choice, when confronted with another Peeber who is drunk, fiesty, temporarily ill-tempered or otherwise breaking the rules. The choice to engage or to walk away. Peebers always choose wisely.
THE NINTH RULE OF PEDALBACK
Peeberhood is a sacred thing, but it is not exclusive. Peeberhood cannot be coveted, since it is offered freely. You only have to ask. A sense of humor helps, as does patience with (sometimes drunken) silliness.
Anyone invited by an O. P. (Original Peeber) is immediately accorded the Priveleges of Peeberhood, providing they agree to follow The Ten Rules of The Pedalback. We do not Black Ball another Peeber's chosen Brother. Black Balls are for arrogant coonts. Blue Balls are another matter entirely and the only weakness of a Male Peeber In Goodstanding.
THE TENTH RULE OF PEDALBACK
Kurosawaness is next to McQueenishness. If you've never seen a film directed by Akira Kurosawa, you better see one within three days of yesterday.
-
My dad laughs soooooooo hard when he talks about the WKRP ep when they start throwing turkeys out of the helicopter..tears man tears!

by cheeses_of_nazareth
Just type a long dissertation with out the assistance of and see how many people read it...
-
...my only suggestion is that maybe too many of them are RULES.
Rules make me itchy...rules are meant to be broken.I bet there are a couple three four core rules in there, and the rest are The Principals of Pedalback.I generally like principles better than rules. Breaking rules is cool. Living up to principles is cooler.Just my two cents. -
Yet, our belief in each other is strong. So is it thus with . never asked to be worshipped. Never asked to be followed. didn't ask nobody to shish kabob his baby boy as proof of fealty. just tapped us on the shoulder and said, "Hey.

I often enjoy trailers more than their films. They sometimes have just the right music, editing, voiceover, etc. that they thrill me more than the films can possibly hope to.
Speaking of 300... The Clash of the Titans trailer(s) is one of my favorites right now. It obviously has that post 300 look, but that has little to do with my liking the trailer. I love the editing, the dramatic "DAMN THE GODS" text, and even the Mickey Mousing music. It makes the movie look like a lot of fun. A trailer for a movie like this has to achieve that and I think it has.

You ol' Trek Softiee...Shoulda know...I been in love with Kirk, Spock and McKoy since 1975...Too bad TUC sorta let me down...

I had misgivings after I first saw it, but overall I've grown to adore the film. But the misgivings I had were mostly about Kirk being a bigot through 2/3 of the movie. Kirk and Spock fighting was also kind of a tough thing to deal with too- these guys have been through Hell and back a dozen times over. I guess people have their bad days, it just sucked that they had it in their last movie. But yeah, Kirk being suddenly hateful to Klingons (especially after saluting them at the end of STV) didn't work for me.
But now, I really love the movie for all of the things it got right- particularly the final scene which is perfection. -

but I used to watch all (then) five Star Trek movies back to back twice a year when I was a teenager. Something about the middle-aged Shatner spoke to me, even then... I always knew the greatness he would become. Nimoy, on the other hand... not so much... but Spock was my favorite character. Go figure.
-
So terribly cheesy. I apologize in advance. But it changed my wee little 14 year old brain forever. http://tinyurl.com/rdkd5u
-
Love it for all the reasons you've already listed. Hard for me to rate them, but it's up there amongst my favorite Trek films. And I can overlook the Klingon problem from ST:V because that movie is kind of a pile.
-
who thinks so? My favorite of the original 5 movies was TVH. Thought the writing and the characters were the snappiest... that was pretty tight.
-
He's only in a couple books, and there's only one official Star Trek: Excelsior book (although it ties into some OS books very nicely). I would have loved to see a Captain Sulu movie. The Voyager episode works better than it should, but it was kind of forcing the issue at that point.

...that start with S and end with K. It honors Surak, the Vulcan who first brought logic to their race, thereby helping them control emotion.
-
I objectively know of its flaws, but that movie was vintage TOS, like an episode from the 60s, bad special FX and all.
Scary, I had a hetero crush on 80s Shatner myself. The man is mesmerizing. -
...really.
-
But The Final Frontier is by far the weakest, for me. I don't have any real love for it. Where I can find things I truly love about all the rest of them. Even Voyage Home and Nemesis. Although it hurt me to say that about Voyage Home.
-
It managed to make an absurd concept work- and it really showcased the charm of the characters better than most other TOS material.
-
It's probably the dumbest story I've ever seen in STAR TREK. It's infuriatingly dumb- just go watch that YouTube dude's 4 part review of it (the guy who did the infamous PHANTOM MENACE review)- he hits all of the points.
-
The scene where he made out with Iman was totally gross to me. He is so very cool, but NOT in a sexy way. He needed to quit the whole playa' thing when he moved up to a 46-waist pant.

Ok, Scary- you got me to admit a crush for 80s Shat. I loved the guy's toupee. I've spent more hours staring at that thing than probably... wow, more than any other recreational activity I can come up with! -
It was Roddenberry's dying wish.

Ehh, probably haven't mentioned it, but I'm a ginormous Prince fan. A large part of that probably stems from seeing Purple Rain in the theater. I know it's a cheesy movie, now. But seeing that movie in a theater in 1984 was so unlike anything I'd ever experienced. Just fully rocked the shit out of my world. Prince and I have had our issues over the last decade, but in general I remain a huge fan.

It's TREK meets 2001- it's the only science fiction movie of the series. Every other movie's core story could be transplanted to another genre. I love 70s hardcore sci-fi (books and movies), that's why I'm a sucker for TMP.
-
...ever published directly to my left, including that one (if I get inspired enough to move my computer desk I'll take a pic and post a link to it). I just don't think The Final Frontier is a well made film. The studio didn't care, it was a Shatner vanity issue (because Nimoy was directing) and they just went with it. And in regard to Generations, it's actually the books around the movie that make it better. Not the actual novelization.

About TMP being the only science fiction movie of the series. A lot of people feel that way. All the others are Star Trek movies, doing their own thing entirely.

At the time, it was sort of a letdown for people (I always loved it) but it's become the Harry Truman of TREK movies since then- people have come around on it!

-
The world jumped off Prince after "Raspberry Beret." Even though he'd hit after that with "Kiss" and "Batman" and, arguably, the best double album besides LONDON CALLING, SIGN ☮ THE TIMES, he stopped being a world-beater with "Raspberry Beret." All to the good, I think.Even when he was being a pouty little symbol and making indecipherable albums, he was still able to make killer track after killer track. At least two or three per year.He toned down the need to shock, and, therefore, he ceased to become the lead article. But, as he proved at The Super Bowl, he's a musician. It seems kind of proper that he's still on the fringe during the era of posers.
-
Go to 17 minutes and 25 seconds in the video.
-
I always liked that link- 1) It made V'Ger more consequential-- what really happened out there between the probe's launch and its return to Earth, right? and 2) there's something cool about a machine invented by humans creating its own race, which in turn becomes the mortal enemy of humans. V'ger's mentality in TMP matches the Borg's pretty closely.

I'd just like to think that the Borg were invented sometime before V'Ger made it back to Earth in TMP. I'd like to think that once it merged with Decker it became a loving Christian father to a group of three hot teenagers and one awkward boy.

Therefore, I really can't contribute, though I've seen probably most of the episodes of the first two TV series.I have no interest in the re-boot, for no reason other than a complete disinterest in reliving my youth.

...quite a bit and at great length, so I'll give you a short version (as short as I can). First, I've seen a couple big pieces of it on Blu-Ray at a friends house. I'm not one of those people who bashes it because of the way it looks, or lens flares, or JJ Abrams. I'm a JJ Abrams fan, so that's not the issue at all. From what I've seen it LOOKS fantastic. Especially the ship in space scenes, which were pretty spectacularly breathtaking, actually.But it was unnecessary and it was lazy. It's the studio following trends like studio's do. There are a ton of Star Trek stories still to be told AFTER the movies and series that have already ended. There are actors that have expressed their desire to continue telling these stories. The suits just brushed all that aside as if it didn't matter to anyone. Now, I understand that it was very successful and that they brought in new fans. Great. Mission accomplished. But they also lost some, and believe me, they know this.My biggest gripe though is that, to me, it's just as much revisionist history as 'Enterprise'. Kirk and Spock (and Pike for that matter) have EXTREMELY well documented back stories in the books. Many of them are considered to be some of the best Trek books ever written. ST 2009 just shits all over them, especially Kirk and his relationship with his father. Last, how in the world can you so flippantly recast one of the most iconic cast of fictional characters ever created? I mean, we're all sitting here discussing them and all of us aren't even Trekkies. People just KNOW those characters. It's insulting, especially considering many of the actors are still alive (not that they could play those parts any longer, but it doesn't change the fact that they're living and breathing and now being ignored). More, although I think they did a great job of re-casting McCoy, and a decent job with Kirk, I absolutely HATE the rest of the cast. Lastly, I'm so tired of time travel plots and in particular, Star Trek time travel plots. It's old, it's an easy out, and I found the random inclusion of Spock as a character completely contrived and unbelievable.But like I said, it looked purdy. : ) And not Lost is on and Sawyer is back, so I'm going to have to ignore any posts I want to respond to for the next hour. See ya then.
-
On its own, it's not terribly good sci-fi- it demands that you appreciate TOS on some level (casual or fanatic). It's a cinematic version of a cover band. It's a good cover band, but it still relies on some pre-existing affinity on the part of the audience.

Like with my love for STAR TREK V, I eat this stuff up with gusto. But your gripes have run through my head as well. This new timeline poses some problems/opportunities though- for ex: does V'Ger (or the whale probe) still show up?
I read a rumor that this new movie series is set for three movies and that the third one will end with this timeline actually being closed off- as if it never happened. I cannot remember where I got that info, but I kind of hope it's true. -
How the hell is Sawyer a cop and Miles connected to him. This season of Lost annoys me as much as it fascinates me.

If it helps, just imagine that JJ's Trek takes place a half octave between the Original Series and the Mirror universe, in a galaxy where the Tholian capture of the USS Defiant shunted it into a universe where Vulcan was a decimated planet and Scotty was a Zombie killer..

From the Wiki entry for Borg (Star Trek). http://tinyurl.com/3xmynb For better or worse (worse, imo) there are ST books written outside of the official canon. I've found most of those books to be disappointing and confusing. I'm pretty sure they've stopped releasing them all together since all the series had book re-boots a few years back. Everything is canon now. Here is the paragraph about V'ger from the Borg Wiki page, considered non-canon.
"The extra section of the game Star Trek: Legacy contains the "Origin of the Borg", which tells the story of V'ger being sucked into a black hole. V'ger was found by a race of living machines which gave it a form suitable to fulfilling its simplistic programming. Unable to determine who its creator could be, the probe declared all carbon-based life an infestation of the creator's universe, leading to assimilation. From this, the Borg were created, as extensions of V'ger's purpose. Drones were made from those assimilated and merged into a collective consciousness. The Borg Queen was created out of the necessity for a single unifying voice. However, with thoughts and desires of her own, she was no longer bound to serve V'ger. This explanation, however, is not canon."
Further down the same page you get a couple paragraphs regarding the books I mentioned above. Evidently they were late 2008, not 2009. In the novel Lost Souls (the third book in the Star Trek: Destiny trilogy) the Borg are revealed to be the survivors of the Caeliar city Mantilis. Thrown across the galaxy in the Delta Quadrant and back in time to approximately 4500 BC by the destruction of Erigol. At the climax of Gods of Night, the first book in the trilogy, a group of human survivors from the starship Columbia NX-02 and stranded Caeliar scientists try to survive in a harsh arctic climate. Most of the human survivors die of exposure, while several Caeliar are absorbed into their race's gestalt to give life to the others in their groupmind.
The Caeliar offer the remaining humans a merging of human and Caeliar, to allow both groups to survive. The human survivors are resistant and as time goes on, the Caeliar called Sedin becomes the sole survivor of her group, her mental processes and her form both degrading as time goes on. When the humans return to Sedin for help, she forces them to merge with her, unwilling to allow herself to die when a union can save her life. The forced merging of the humans and the mostly-decayed Caeliar results in the creation of the first Borg. The gestalt group mind is perverted to become the collective, driven by Sedin's desperate hunger and need to add the strength, technology and life-force of others to her own. Ironically, while the Caeliar were - albeit accidentally - involved in the creation of the Borg, they also provide the means to end it; in the 24th century, the Caeliar absorb the entire Borg collective back into themselves, ending the cyborgs' centuries-long reign of terror." A little bit more about this great trilogy can be found here. http://tinyurl.com/yfgeeb4 Without a doubt, those books created more change to the Star Trek universe than any before. As I mentioned before, the Borg get pissed off about losing all the time and finally make a full out attack on the Federation. Not one cube sent to Earth, but thousands of cubes transwarping into Federation space, destroying many planets outright, as well as huge parts of many others (including Vulcan). 82 billion lives are taken, and it's not pretty. In fact it was quite sad, messy and very dramatic. Now referred to as "the mess that Mack made", I think David Mack did a more than admirable job of shaping the future of Star Trek in the realm of all the books outside of TOS. All of the series - TNG, DS9, Voyage, Titan (Riker's ship) and the whatever they decide to do with the USS Aventine (Ezri Dax's ship - a new class) - are in the same time frame telling the same ongoing, interconnected story.Of the books listed that are already released post Destiny Trilogy, I've finished 'Losing The Peace', a great follow up on TNG side of the story. In case you've missed my previous ramblings. Picard and Crusher FINALLY get together and Beverly is pregnant. So Picard can finally be at peace about his family line continuing. I'm in the middle of A Singular Destiny right now and have the rest of the follow up books for all the series sitting on the shelf waiting. ... I'd get through them a little faster if you Peebs weren't so damn fun to chat with. -

Cheeses, if she wasn't putting her pudenda out there so blatantl
by yackbacker
You'd be more interested, that's my theory.
I just banged out 5 more pages, so I popped in to see what was going on. Now, I'm going to bed for real. -
the shaky cam (actually used effectively here)lighting and context of the scene sucked me right into a frantic drug addled foot chase. It was gritty and raw and the tragic out come made me insanely interested in the rest of the movie. Although the rest of the movie is only slightly above average.
-
Isis...the mom/femaleBlackbeard...dad/maleAbraxas...son/male (duh?)
-
I don't know about Cheeses but the minimal amount of creative writing I do on here is draining.
-
I don't remember much about the rest of the movie, other than Ray Liotta being in it. But I have a clear mental image of that entire opening scene in my head. Also agree on the shaky cam, it was used to great affect there.

Jake and Fatty Lumpkins are brothers. They've been together since the womb. Their mother and father are my sister's cats. The mother's water broke on my lap and I stayed for the birth. They're only 11 months right now, still kittens, really (but big ass kittens). My Moms names Jake after Kevin Costner's character in Silverado. She was over for a family gathering and noticed that he kept doing stupid acrobatic stuff, like hanging upside down on the underside of the couch arm. I thought it was fitting. Full name is actually Jakeford Costner, because it makes me laugh.Fatty Lumpkins started out as Skinek, or Skinenk of Vulcan, because he had the skinniest neck EVER, and really weird tufts of ear hair that made him look like he had curved, point ears. However, he got hella fat and the ear tufts disappeared. On any given day he gets called Skinek, Fatty, Fatty Lumps, Fatty Lumpkins, Floppy Cat and Asshole Face. He responds to all of them.

Keep at it, writing definitely gets better with practice and repetition.

I just don't feel like I have the drive to give one the attention it would deserve right now. My cats are indoor.

and have enjoyed most of the episodes this season, but for being the final season, and knowing an end date 3 years ago, they could have written this season a bit more concise. It's dragging a$$. I still anticipate the show each week, but I'm as engaged with this "showdown between good and evil", especially since we as viewers still don't know the stakes. We're in a 6th season and have no idea what the island is, or what all of these factions are about.
Yes, I'm not a hollywood screen writer. I'm sure it's a difficult job to write these shows and keep continuity. I just feel it's progressing like a non-series ending season. -
Flick...pull yourself together, man!

i think this season is pretty good so far..i think its building towards somethihng great that we, looking at it now, are prolly thinking that its not all its cracked to be..in the end..i think these eps will be better (if thats possible) after the finale.

i am thoroughly enjoying the parallels and alts of the show this season..makes you think..

March 16, 2010: Part I ...Teddy is an Original Series Trekkie who enjoyed the 2009 re-boot enough despite a little "shoddy scripting" - ★★★☆☆. ...Cheeses recommends "Morel Orel," the Adult Swim claymation parody of that old Christian show with the kid and the talking dog. ...Cheeses and Flick have the fourth simultaneous post of The Pedalback @ 12:35:49 A.M., and it qualifies as a simultaneous thought - the second. Cheeses, having been a party to three of the four, declares himself the "Tiger Woods of Simultaneous Posting." ...Cobra shares a "Salmaography," dedicated to the work of Salma Hayek, concentrating, of course, on changes to the size of her breasts over time. (http://tinyurl.com/ydn3w5u) ...The Future Mrs. Col. nursed him through his cold with constant attention and THE FISHER KING. Feeling better, he mock evangelizes , preaching "AVATAR as the True Path to Geek Redemption following the Fall that was the Prequel Trilogy." ...Flick wants to see Robin Williams in a Quentin Tarantino movie. I wonder if William's improv would combust in contact with QT's dialogue, resulting in a Big Bang of language that would birth a new universe of rapid-fire communication or a flame-out. I see two heads exploding from laughing at themselves too hard, and a set covered with the smoking viscera of giant forehead and hairy parts. ...Orange juice all over my keyboard inspires Pulp Fiction sequel. See what I did there? ...STLost shares The Five Creepiest Sex Scenes in Comics (http://tinyurl.com/yafwvsh), and threatens me with watercording if I don't get the Subbary® posted. ...Stabby sees Michael Moore's CAPITALISM: A LOVE STORY, which just makes him angrier about the effect of corporate greed on America. He says it's probably the least Mooriest of the Moore documentaries, with less comedy than the previous ones and the director leaving himself out of the picture until the end of the movie and concentrating more on the substance of the issue. ...I told you we'd get new rules!

It's one of the "inside" bits of the series I've always found interesting. I've always had a love/hate with Lost, though. This season is somewhere in the middle, for me. I'm holding out hope that it will knock me on my ass by seasons end, but I don't want to get my hopes too high, either. Not sure who reads or posts in the Lostbacks, I don't any longer. But my belief is that the flash sideways (which are kind of strange and slightly contrived to me, but starting to make more sense) are the show we're going to be left with after the island sinks due to some mistake made during the finale battle. I don't know if this will ever really make sense, it's just what I think is going to happen.

-
I found last night's Lost a little underwhelming, but I'm satisfied with the season so far. It all seems like a natural progression from what they've been doing. Of course, I'm naturally skeptical that the ending will hit all the marks, but I'm a little more confident after these first eight episodes. Last night's episode was light on mythology but heavy on setting things up. There were no "ahhhh!" moments, just plot and character mechanics. I'm expecting a big mythology dump next week, though.

It's a lot of things, and chief among them is that it's entertaining.

STLost- I can't take anything that involves dogs and sadness
by yackbacker
I saw MY DOG SKIP and fucking lost my mind. SEVEN BELOW is like a husky snuff film to me. I love dogs to a fault.

Just started it on the stove- 3 hrs until awesomeness. Cabbage is teed up like a rubber. Now, I go to run a few errands in town.
-
was in one of my old TMNT comics. I thought he was just a guest character. I just went to Wikipedia and didn't realize he had such a history.
-
the Republicans must be taking Duke.
-
...not at you... I swear. But, ya know, "husky snuff film" is kinda funny. I don't have the movie tear gene. Don't get me wrong, they make me sad. I just don't get watery all that often. Colonel, I'm expecting a large mythology dump next week as well. Or at least a classic episode. The dynamite scene with Jack and Richard was gold last week. I agree about the character development last night, too. And it makes sense after the previous weeks ending. I thought Kate's evident capture was a big point. And Sawyer playing Locke against Widmore is interesting. But I just can't get over the feeling in my gut that all the coincidental meetings of characters LA X time (some of whom had very little to nothing to do with each other on the islands) are a little forced.

Media interviews are a valuable part of govt transparency.
by colonelfatheart
But Fox will try to cheap shot him, and he'll do fine. Dealing with the media, acting as a figurehead, staying in the public's eye IS part of the president's work, Jaka. And anyway, as he said during the election, a president should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.
-
Bwa-Ha-Ha-Ha-ha-ha-ha!
-
I babbled way too much yesterday, so I'll save it for another time. But, yeah, Cerebus (although it's now complete) has a long, long history. Even that TMNT issue (number 8) has a history.
-
"why..how should i put this, are you black?"
-
....he's getting enough actual work done. Coming through on campaign promises. Affecting change. I don't really think making college basketball picks have anything to do with that. And if the interviews are all the same talking head answers to all the same rehashed questions without discussing any real results (because there aren't any to be discussed), I find them useless in the extreme. I'm sure they'll talk about health care... that'll be interesting...
-
a great issue on owning yer character..so to speak
-
Not a single thing. I follow pro basketball to obsession levels. Watch it everyday. College hoops just don't interest me at all. Too many teams filled with too many players who I'll never hear about after they graduate.
-
It's all peaceful now, but that issue created a huge mess, too. Spawn issue 10. "Gah! Color!"
-
been meaning to catch up with ya today...have you heard the NEW prince album..the 3 disc one?it aint bad..its actually harkens back to his heydey..pretty funky..i actually saw it on sale at target $5.
-
the characters that originated in that issue became huge parts to spawn-iverse..and moore owned it!those two issues arent part of the reprints..
-
I just thought it was funny the President is picking brackets on ESPN. I also think those college kids play with more heart and desire than any pro athlete.
-
Oh yeah. First, I got it as a download when I paid $77 to join he completely useless Lotusflow3r website. Then I paid the full $15 (plus tax) price for it when it was first released. I dig it. It's way better than a couple of his other recent releases. But it I think it suffers from Princes inability to self edit. It should have been a double disc set, at best. Of course, I don't really dig most of Bria's disc, so that would make it a lot easier to edit. Heh.
Hey, have you checked out Cerebus TV? http://www.cerebustv.com/ It's an interesting look into Dave now, with Cerebus finished as a devout man of faith. He'll probably be talking about a lot of stuff you haven't read yet. But I don't think it takes away from reading the books for the first time. In fact, it probably adds to the experience, knowing what he's talking about and where the ideas came from. -
Meh. I'm not going to get up in arms about it. He's not a chronic vacationer like the last guy, and he seems to take the job very seriously. I really don't give a shit about college basketball, myself.
-
...heart and desire any day. I don't necessarily agree, though. The NBA season is more than twice as long as the college basketball season. They need to pace themselves much more to stay healthy and injury free for the entire season. Add to that the NBA playoffs, which can be almost another entire college basketball season, where they literally beat the crap out of each other every night. And it really depends, some teams hate each other, and they play exceptionally hard no matter what time of year it is. Some teams just aren't very good and they always look lazy.

Also: Obama put off his big Asia trip for three days

-
I agree 100% Give me Derrick Rose in a Bulls uniform taking it to the hole against the Celtics over a one-off year at college any day.
-
As do all the teams he invites over to the House. But I agree with you about it being better than the Bush vacation schedule. I also understand inviting teams to the House is a longstanding tradition. I'm just frustrated with how little has been accomplished. Not really bashing.
-
Definitely not a "jock" type. But I do love me some pro basketball.
-
It was good. It took me off guard though because I was expecting a sports movie but it wasn't that at all. It was just a "coming to America" story set against a sports background. I almost have to watch it again because when you are expecting The Rookie and you get something more akin to Maria full of Grace (with less drugs)you are watching the movie with a distracting preconception.
-
They had a supermajority in the Senate and a big majority in the House. Much has been done, but it's all under the radar stuff, not huge reforms, or at least they're not evident. Or it's stuff that's targeted directly at bandaging the myriad wounds left by Cheney and Co. The stimulus certainly doesn't get the credit it deserves, and most of its effect is supposed to be felt this year. But the Dems in Congress sure got a firecracker lit under their ass when Scott Brown won in Mass. We've seen one "jobs bill" after another since then, and health care is on the verge of passing. Things are happening, Jaka.
-
to do something, anything with their majority in the House and Senate. We're still in Iraq. the war in Afghanistan has been escalated. No one on Wall St. has been held accountable for their thievery. Gitmo is still in operation. The health care bill is a disaster. They will not have the majority after next year's elections.
-
from now on. Unfortunately, I really believe that the only way things are going to change is if the system collapses. The 2 party system we have now is not functioning and certainly is not representing the majority's interests.

pretty impressive show..compliments my ModFam perfectly.

It's a tabletop device shaped like a cylinder. They hope to develop it for signs, photo frames, TV, telephones, medical equipment, etc.
-
in our current system. And we see how well that is going. We need a third party or a true democracy. This representative democracy is no longer working. They do not represent us. They represent the banking industry and corporations. I'm done with them.

Although I still have a soft spot for the movie.

that we couldn't have a true democracy. Representative government made sense in a world without instant communication. It no longer does. AND IT'S TIME TO GET RID OF THE FREAKING ELECTORAL COLLEGE!
-
and dignity wants no parts of running for elective office. And if they do they get lambasted and ridiculed like Jimmy Carter. Only the sleazy slimebag scumbags who have no values or are willing to compromise theirs can get elected.
-
with our political system. TERM LIMITS PLEASE!
-
its real good..at least so far..
basically the premise is the same but theyve tweaked it from the film..and i LOVE the film. its a film that, as you grow older, realize how great it is. THAT is a film that grows UP on you. -
But I definitely agree about the electoral college. We do have more than a two party system. Most people choose to ignore this fact to make the choice easier. And the "big two" have made it very difficult for candidates from other parties to be taken seriously. Yes, Parenthood, the show, is quite good, I think. I've been enjoying it thus far and I'm a huge fan of the movie.
-
information the less freedom we have. Now more than ever we as a people know that the government is fucked and yet we have no ability to illicit change. Our outrage is meaningless to the people in charge.
-
the Government. It needs to be knocked down so we can build something better from it's rubble. Master-Blaster for President!
-
And now it is painfully apparent. How much longer do you think they can keep this ruse up? Fortunately for them they have people like Limbaugh and Beck riling people up and keeping us fighting amongst ourselves.
-
Most people are ambivalent regarding the current state of big government. They know it's a problem, but don't want to do the work to fix it. Big government knows this and uses it to their advantage.
-
Because when change does come it will be from a small group, while he big group continues on with their lives as if nothing has happened. Does the cable still work? Are the church doors open? OK then, leave me out of it.
-
If there was a vote for universal health care coverage put to the people it would pass. THEN WHY THE FACK IS THIS NOT EVEN A POSSIBILITY IN THE CONGRESS! Maybe because of the influence by the Insurance Industry and Big Pharma?

Abortion! Gay marriage! Gun Control! Global Warming! Death Panels! Socialism! I'm done with it all.
-
There's a pervasive sense of superiority in this country. Race is a big part of it, as is class. Even the teabaggers who decry Obama's supposed "elitism" are themselves guilty of a type of elitism against people in need, people who need "handouts." In many ways we're still fighting the Civil War.
-
be willing to raise taxes on the top 1% who own over 90% of the country's wealth to pay for it. And that is why they must keep us down and fighting amongst ourselves.

1. Term limits in Congress
2. flat tax, or fair tax, which leads to elimination of the idiocy that is the tax code and tax forms.
3. Steps to reduce/eliminate the Nation's debt. -
Legalize marijuana. Tax it. Rinse, Repeat. Oh, and free ham sandwiches for all!
-
We need to introduce some real civility into the national discussion. We've got leaders and pundits from every ideology dragging the debate into the gutter. The culture needs to change- I don't know how that could happen, but without it, no structural modifications or policy can succeed because no one is truly acting in good faith.
-
I of course agree with you. The iniquities of the way we're taxed in this country has been a problem for a very long time. But again, we all know this, yet nothing changes. Talk gets us nowhere. One side is no better than the other side. This is the frustration that led to me starting off on a rant about politics this morning.Agreed, Colonel. I actually believe it's getting worse, and will continue to do so as America grows rapidly more diverse.
-
We will install Steve McQueen's face on Mt. Rushmore, we will roll back the much-hated pudenda tax and Congress will consist of Some Guy & Some Other Guy.

I watched the premiere episode and enjoyed it well enough, but I just can't keep up with too many serialized dramas. It's my memory thing. I like one-and-done shows.Catching up...Obama's rep as a "do-nothing" is sort of unfair as he's been painted with a brush by Fantasy News while being handicapped by a legislative majority of sore-genitalled Democrats who have spent most of the time arguing with each other over how to bitch-slap the bad guys from the past. The public was serious when they voted for change, but Politics is set up to work against change. Stabby's ideas for radical change would never be endorsed by career politicians, even if the people all wanted them. Add the expectations that were set too high for Obama to begin with, and you have the recipe for Malaise Cake.Prince post-comeback: "Musicology" was aimed squarely at radio when radio was busy looking at other things, like hip-hop and Disney pop. The tour, however, succeeded beyond expectations, making The Lazy Hippie market accept Prince into the pantheon of Post-Boomer Rockers That Matter, alongside Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen. "3121" is a much better record than "Musicology" and represents Prince's first completely-successful integration of contemporary R&B into the Purple Rock. After his Super Bowl triumph, I wish Prince had done a live album of new rock or of wild covers, so kids could buy his version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" somewhere. "Planet Earth" turns up the guitars! It's got some filler, but it's an album in the old-fashioned "Purple Rain" mode. The "lotusflow3r" thing is a mess. There's a lot of really good stuff on it, but it's sequenced terribly which makes it seem like you have to wade through a lot of garbage to get to the good bits. Imagine if he had dumped the Santana fetish that he was waving around to get Salma Hayek's attention and just made a protest record out of "Colonized Mind," "The Dreamer," "Chocolate Box," a few more tight guitar songs,and some of the funky, "you kids don't know what you're doing" stuff from "MPLSound." That would've blown some minds. His NFL song for The Vikings was painful, but his newest stuff, "Cause & Effect" (http://tinyurl.com/y9n9oay) has a good old "Let's Go Crazy" feel.Basketball? Got nothin.'
-
Term limits will flush out good ol' boy politics and allow fresh blood into the system. Term limits also deter lobbyists from befriending congressmen and attaching their agendas to policy.
And I realize all lobbyists are not evil bloodsuckers. -
Been preaching all of the above for years. Our debt is so ridiculous as to not be real. The numbers are too large to even fathom. What's most important is that we focus on clearing are debt with China. Because they basically own us. The fact that we owe the Federal Reserve for each bill they print is also a large part of a hugely broken system.
-
Public office should be a call to service not a job. How much does not get done or even considered because everyone is constantly campaigning for the next election. The Republicans have done nothing AT ALL but campaign for the next election since the last. IT'S DISGUSTING! We voted these a$$holes into office for this?
-
that is UNFILTERED, and that's key. Since children are no longer taught critical thinking, they absorb opinion as if it is knowledge. And that's all you get from "News," a steady diet of opinion that has been spun and nuanced by some rich merfer trying to sell you something.
-
Well, backward first. Despite the messages and the annoying vocal overdubs, I think The Rainbow Children is best thing he did last decade. I wanted his music to continue in that organic funk vein, but he quickly moved past it. I agree with some of what you said after that. First, I don't think 3121 is better than Musicology, but I rate them pretty much the same when all is said and done. No big deal there. However, I despise Planet Earth. Haven't listened to is since shortly after it's release. Pure laziness. A bunch of leftovers tossed out on a CD to take advantage of the momentum created with the previous two albums. Sounds like we're pretty close on Lotusflow3r. It just needed an exec producer to edit and arrange it down to two discs. I mean, great, you've got a new girlfriend. Most of her songs are wack, dude. I dig Cause & Affect, but won't speak on that other track you mentioned.
-
are elected and none of them have constituents beyond Corporate Boardrooms. Lobbyists - every single fucking one of them - should be bannished like terrorists from anywhere near a government office.
-
...that there were five albums and two eps released through the Club between 2000 and 2003. A lot of that material takes big poo-poos on the albums that follow.
-
But you have to consider how both political parties will operate under such a system. Will they hold even more power over elected representatives because they possess the money needed for these "fresh faces" to run, or will campaign funds start coming in through new channels directly to individual candidates? Term limits addresses one aspect of the problem, but it could create new challenges too.
-
I've been watching less and less TV. I just don't see the need to follow shows anymore, and as the weather changes, I anticipate season finales so I can finally free myself and go outside and do things with my daughter.
Plus we don't have cable/satellite anymore, so it also limits the shows we watch.
Right now I watch 3 shows on a consistent basis: LOST, CHUCK, and THE OFFICE. I watch AMERICAN IDOL and KITCHEN NIGHTMARES with my wife. She doesn't watch much TV either.
I've found that my decreased TV involvement has led to a less stressful life for me and my family. Stressful might be the wrong word, but I feel more relaxed and less tethered to the boob tube.
I'm not saying TV is bad or good, and not putting anyone down who watches a lot of TV. Just noting my experience.
I visit rec.arts.tv sometimes, and wow, there are a few people on there that watch a TON of tv. They watch so much, they DVR a lot of it. Then they complain they don't have enough time to watch them all, and get backlogged and stressed out. It's kinda funny. -

The Tea Party is nothing but a traveling Fox News infomercial, created to stay relevant after the election had them feeling impotent.We have to dismantle the two-party system.We, also, have to something about The Justice System. It's rotten at the core.

legalizing of Marijuana. For the record...I don't smoke it. I've never tried it. I've been offered and declined. Not my cup of tea. However, legalizing and taxing it makes sense. And then enforce usage laws like you do with alcohol and driving.
-
They all need to go get new jobs.
-
I watch 24, OFFICE... and a lot of Military History before I go to bed. Otherwise, I'll pop in movies-- my preferred diversion. I do go on show binges once in a while (watch a season for a week) but I haven't done that in a while.
-
Prince is an artist greatly appreciated by the dojo... I still make CD's (remember them)... and this is the track list for my last Prince compilation, which chronologically covers Emancipaton to Musicology (haven't got his latest yet). Basically I listen to the albums 3 or 4 times, then whatever sticks out as cool and memorable gets a slot on the CD...
JAM OF THE YEAR, IN THIS BED I SCREAM, MY COMPUTER, STYLE, THE HOLY RIVER, NEW POWER SOUL, DINNER WITH DELORES, GREATEST ROMANCE NEVER SOLD, RAINBOW CHILDREN, DIGITAL GARDEN, THE WORK, EVERYWHERE, SENSUAL EVERAFTER, FAMILY NAME, LAST DECEMBER, DEAR MR MAN, CINNAMON GIRL, MUSICOLOGY.
Out of that little lot i'd say my 3 faves are IN THIS BED I SCREAM, NEW POWER SOUL, and LAST DECEMBER.
The man's still capable of producing some fantastic tracks, but as others have said - the ratio of glory to forgettable is highly askew. For every great track there are at least four or five that are meh. -
Legalize it and tax it, but don't expect the tax from it to solve any real issues, because as soon as it's legalized, it loses all of its rebel appeal and much of the younger group that partakes of it, now, will move on to chemicals. To the woe of all.
-
to a halt.
-
details. :) No, I get what you are saying. Term limits look great on paper, but we'd have to figure out the ramifications of implementing the policy and what effects it would have with the two-party system.
In my perfect world, I would hope people would fund campaigns not by what political party they are affiliated with, but by the person they feel has the best ideas to make the country a free country, a civil country, and a prosperous country. *cue fireworks and patriotic music* -
The U.S. Government is still beholden to the U.S. people. The people are the problem. Somebody said motivate? Yep. All the people do is complain, complain, complain. Ask them for their "fix," and all you get is "um, I dunno, let's vote for the other guy."

I wrote my Honors Thesis on the role of the 2 parties in developing foreign policy. That was a while ago though- when I had a brain. In any case, as much as I personally dislike the 2 major parties, they provide order to chaos in a lot of ways. Mind you, I wrote that thing 13 years ago-- there was acrimony in DC, but nothing like we have today. If I sat down to really think about it, I may view the 2-party system differently now.
-
One night alone(diff than live album)C-Notethe slaughterhouse Xpectationthe chocolate invasion.. then the man ALSO had the NPG albums Goldnigga and something else
-
Because $5 plus dollar a pack cigarettes hasn't stopped people from smoking those. People still drink alcohol like water. I fully believe that legalizing marijuana would cause/allow/bring more people to smoke it. Regardless, the taxes on it would be ridiculous, thereby creating a massive new revenue stream. It would stop nearly all spending on the fight against illegal growing and importing. It can be used for about a thousand other products. It would go a long way towards saving small farms. And it creates twice the oxygen of trees. But back to Prince, I'll email you the continuation of that conversation.
-
Gold Nigga is a waste of time. One good instrumental track, the rest of it is ruined by Tony M rapping. Ugh!
-
my pshaw post was regarding the term limits that you talked about earlier above
-
Just because it's legal young people won't think it's cool? Nah, I don't think so! That is not the case with alcohol. Just check out drunkgirls.com

...are on about as bad a terms as could ever be possible, and because Prince likes to pretend he never made those albums, unless he's performing the songs live, such is the dichotomy that is Prince.

Alcohol is still illegal for teens. THAT'S why they want it.
by subtitles_off
And that's when they develop the habit for it. Look at European countries where kids are drinking from Toddlerhood. An entirely different relationship with alcohol.Tobacco was this nation's economy in its early years. And, nicotene is addictive. That's why people smoke. "Cigarettes are cool" is an advertising gimmick.Marijuana is not addictive, so there's no need to continue it once you've started it. You can stop any time. The appeal of marijuana is its hippie chic and its danger due to its being illegal. Take that away and all your left with is the intoxicant, which, being lower-key and more relaxing, doesn't hit the same notes as alcohol and other drugs.Of course, I could be talking out of my ass. I've never really studied any of it. I just think, if you take away the danger of pot as "illegal drug," all you're left with is the hippie aspect. And, we've seen what the current generation thinks, for the most part, about that.
-
Yes and no. There are definitely reasons why they haven't been remastered and re-released when everything else on the face of the Erf has. It's my understanding that there was even quite a row over the best of Ultimate set that was released a couple years back.
-
...that I'd rather see them try it than continue to spend money fighting it.
-
...as well. I wouldn't really expect the legal age for purchase to be less than that of alcohol.
-
Mar 17, 2010 2:22:59 PM CDT
Yeah, Prince doesn't want warner Borthers to make any more money
by subtitles_off
Also, he wants to concentrate on new music. He's following the career advise of his idol Joni Mitchell, who absolutely saw "Best Of" collections as the end of her career as a viable musician. You give the people a "Best Of" of your most popular work, you can expect to eat forever but never sell anything new. It was no coincidence that soon after releasing a "Hits" and a "Misses" collection, Joni Mitchell announced her retirement, which she's stuck to, uh, sorta, making a slight return with music for a ballet a couple of years ago.
-
Was it you who said you saw Joni with Bob Dylan? If so, was that the tour they did with Van Morrison? I caught that one in San Jose. Joni was scared and pretty much said so. Worst Van concert I've see (and I've seen a good number of them). Bob rocked so hard he almost fell over, twice! I guess I caught Bob on a really good night. I've heard he's hit and miss, but I was really impressed.
-
Bob was a disappointment, but I think that's because I saw him with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and preferred that show. Joni was perfection when I saw her.I don't know if Van Morrison was part of that tour on the West Coast, or if it was a different tour. I've always heard Van is notoriously hit-or-miss in concert. he doesn't like doing them, I've heard.
-
Regardless of the illicitness of them young people are gonna do them because they're fun. Kids don't drink because it's illegal. They do it because it's fun.
-
Other than the fact that he's probably an alcoholic as well as a pothead it is most likely because he gets enjoyment from it.
-
ever performed together live. The Dylan and The Heartbreakers tour was the closest thing to that, if I'm correct.
-
He rehearses them to death and has cancelled shows when he didn't think they were up to par. I think he lets that get to him while performing. Plus, evidently, he's shy. That always trips me out when somebody has been doing something for that long. But you can see it on stage. Not a lot of movement, black sunglasses. It had to be the same tour, because I think that's the only time Joni toured in like, forever. I've seen transcendent Van shows, and I've seen ones that literally made me angry. It's worth the risk, though. Anyway, yeah, Van was part of it on the West Side. Because I know somebody who saw them down south, as well.
-
But that was something different, and kinda sucked pretty bad, actually. The whole tour, imo.
-
I wanted to chime in on the marijuana legalization but I don't want to just barge in uninvited....
-
Doing the Wilbury's tunes a couple from each of their own catalogs together. Lovely thought. Too bad it never happened.
-
I know quite a few people that don't indulge simply because it is illegal. Legalize it, and you'll see the floodgates open.
-
You can't deny the element of rite of passage that is represented by doing something "wrong." And "fun" isn't the issue. Socializing is. Hangovers aren't fun. Wrecking your car isn't fun. Waking up after sleeping with a stranger isn't fun. Well, um, yeah, all those things ARE fun, and the element of danger associated with all of it - and, escaping danger, most of all - adds to the fun. I never said kids would stop drinking alcohol if the legal age were lower. Alcohol hits different buttons. That's why you can get hyper on alcohol. Pot doesn't have that effect. It has a mellowing effect. Buzzed on pot, you're completely satisfied in a dark room, playing vids and listening to Floyd. That's not the big go-to FUN experience for most kids who want to go out, get loud, see some boobies and break shit.

There are a load of ex-hippies and the next generation - now in their forties - who smoke pot. Like me. But, I don't think we smoke it in the mass quantities we used to. And, I stand by my theory that it's not something that attracts the younger generation in a big way.

"Wilburys" was a slang term coined by Harrison and Lynne during the recording of Cloud Nine as a pet name for various types of equipment in the recording studio; Harrison, referring to errors caused by malfunctioning equipment, jokingly remarked to Lynne: "We'll bury 'em in the mix".[1][2] The term was used again when the entire supergroup was together. Harrison suggested "The Trembling Wilburys" as the group's name; instead, Lynne suggested "Traveling", which was agreed on by the group.[1]

Her cancellation coincides with recent Tabloid rumors of infidelity involving the Oscar-winner’s husband Jesse James, 40.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your continued support of the film.”why should she promote the film anymore? she got hers.

I just sampled the corned beef I was cooking all day- it's perfection. I only wish I bought a bigger cut, because this brisket is going down fast. The cabbage and potatoes are boiling as we speak. We are about a half hour from a feast.

...a couple of towns up the river...artsy-fartsy, but just one little main drag of antique/curiosity shops. I lived there for a while years ago...I like it because it has some of that flavor, but it's still a real town.

Sith, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR is my favourite movie musical bar none... and im actually a guy who does like his musicals!
It all comes down to the cast, the score, and the less is more direction... but in particular the three leads - Jesus, Judas, and Mary - are AWESOME. Actually fuck that, im wrong, Pontius Pilate, Caiaphas, Herod, the whole cast in the movie is AWESOME!
And I also agree with you on the face-off between Jesus and Judas (Jaded Mandarin) being the highlight. Electrifying stuff. -
...but how does one make that exactly?
-
See, earlier I just said I didn't have FaceBook and just watched the video. Entered my name this time. Heh.
-
I think part of the appeal of the SUPERSTAR movie is that i've never seen any of the cast in another movie... so to me, they *are* the roles they play. They own them.
-
But I like the song I posted quiet a bit. I must admit I'm actually a bit shocked by all the JCS love.
-
...for Facebook.
That I will not do. -
...two piles of folder laundry... and failed. :/
-
I will put it on my list of nearby places that I should have been to but never have. I went to the Flower show a couple of weeks ago because I'm huge into plants, it was pretty nice once I actually found an overpriced parking spot.
-
Jaka, I think musicals in particular are 'one mans meat another mans poison'... what works for one doesnt always work for another.
-
I feel better now.
-
If you log in to Facebook, your photo gets inserted into the video as well. Just click "I'm not on Facebook," and enter your name (or any name).
-
...musicals really aren't my cup of tea. I like the Rogers & Hammerstein musicals. I like The Music Man, and Singing In The Rain. But anything after that period doesn't do much for me.
-
I agree, all of those people are completely unknown to me so I have no trouble buying them in their roles, but I get the feeling it's so well acted that wouldn't be a problem even if I did know them. I own the original rock album and the movie soundtrack (and the dvd), and even though I like the soundtrack better, I tend to listen to the original more because the sound quality is waaay better. JCS will forever remind me of Spring, because they always seem to play it around Easter.
-
Is there really a recipe for that?
-
But he'll keep an eye out for the carrier pigeon.
-
...and Colonel posted a link the other day that really did rock.And as someone who kinda loved PRINCE OF EGYPT when if first came out, I can't pretend to be too cool to like it...
-
I hear a lot of his influence in JCS.

You know it probably suffers from the Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber stigma, and any personal Jebus Chrissy baggage you might carry-on, but it's not a joke. The lead singer from Deep Purple is Jesus, for crying out loud!

Teehee.I have no carry-on baggage regarding entertainment dealing with religious subject matter. I can check it from an objective place. JCS just never moved me. Always seemed a bit silly, which is probably some of the ALW syndrome creeping in. Not a fan of anything he's done. Please, no punches!

I suppose you could take some firm tofu, drain and pat it dry, roll it in the "corning" spices, leave it in the fridge overnight and bake it the next day. Yes? Seems like it would work.

You want to know the secret? You want to learn how to SimuPo any talk backer on any talkback?

We're just having a little inoccuous chat, that's all. No big HEY! Watch those hands!

when there are several conversations going on at the same time …The key is to notice when you post, (and you have to post like crazy)…but, after you post, yours should be the last post you can read…If you post and there is someone underneath you, you just SimuPoed them…

But that's par for the course today, I reckon.

Hey man, saw you over in the comic book TB. You a Marvel dude or a DC dude?
-
...more a Vertigo dude. And really, an indie dude. I'll check out just about anything somebody recommends, though.
-
Your name always reminds me of Jane's Addiction, btw.
-
“The Right Stuff” is a GREAT movie…Those guys, the first astronauts, were the kind of sky jockeys Hal Jordan would have been friends with…
-
...THE RIGHT STUFF...fuckin'A.Sorry about that. Wasn't thinking.
-
But I'm reading 'Scalped' in trades. It's great stuff if you're not reading it.
-
Start thinking Flicka!
-
I've read Scalped up to issue 34, which was pretty bad ass.
-
...that I've started getting Aaron's Wolverine series. That's pretty huge, as I'm not even that big a Wolverine/X-Men fan.
-
Just, never went there. Sometimes I think I will, but then I'm get overwhelmed by the massive amounts of material. Can't decide where to start and I get a different answer each time I ask somebody. I figure at this point, after 28 years of comic book reading, I probably don't need to worry about it anymore.
-
I bought the movie today for like 5 bucks at my work…also, Watchmen and Hancock…It is my ultimate goal to own every superhero movie ever made…no matter how bad...I’m not even a quarter of the way there yet…
-
But that's a good thing, as it's full of X-Water, and you don't want to get that shit all over you.
-
...umm, yeah. Anyway. I actually liked the movie quite a bit. But I hate the ending soooooo much. Terrible ending.
-
At least on Wolverine you did. Then again, I never deigned to watch the damn thing, so maybe I'm totally wrong. But some of the stuff I know is in that movie really pisses off my inner continuity whore.
-
Will always be the definitive X-Men for me…And I got to experience them as they hit the shelves in the late 70’s…
-
The water is kind of muddy looking and moves around on it's own. Plus, it smells like sweaty spandex. I'll skip that pool.
-
You get those answers a lot when you tell people you're a newby and ask where to start. Problem is, that's actually a lot of material.
-
I'm one of those,too, Tedster...I just imagine they take place in the an alternate universe…hopefully the same one as the X-men movies…I just hope one of them has some action…I saw Watchmen TWICE in the theatres…I could have fixed that movie with three or four editorial decisions…
-
The second time a group of us drove to San Antonio to see it in IMAX. Man, when "All Along the Watchtower" starts playing, that there is one of the greatest Visual/Sound matchups I have ever seen. Getting goosebumps as we speak.
-
...so I understand where you're coming from. But I've have serious issues with it some other times. Like, as much as I really, really love the LOTR trilogy, the few little things they changed or added still piss me off each time I watch them.
-
I got into the run right as Cockrum left and Byrne took over…I think my first issue was the one with Firelord vs. Pheonix, and I was like WTF!!!! This is cosmic…The whole M’Krann Crystal, Legion of Imperial Guards episodes followed by a ’get to know every body' episode that introduced ’Major Maple Leaf’ himself and led to Alpha Flight….
-
I was just re-reading some of that from my roomie's trade paperbacks.
-
...on cable while we were pedalbacking. I know it's very close to the source material. Too close some would say. But I still don't like how different Ozy (how much of his story is left out, at least)and REALLY hate that Dr Manhattan ends up being played as a villain. I can't even argue that it doesn't work, because it does. I just don't like it. Oh, and the guy player Night Owl 2 gives me the heebies. Anyway. I'm sure this has all been gone over before.
-
...My roomie has the Dark Phoenix Saga, but it's only like three issues! I'm sure that there's a lot of subplot stuff in earlier issues, but the main story is so freaking short! It seems to me that Claremont shoulda drug that out a little longer.
-
I can say 'Phoenix Saga' and name all the characters from the movies. Beyond that I'm really pretty X-dumb. But the excitement everybody has for the eras/writers/books that were good always get me interested again. Just your little paragraph makes me interested. Then I think about how many issues it is and go, "ehhhh, maybe another time".
-
Ozy is. The guy who played. I need to start proofreading. Seriously.
-
And it makes you look more smarterer.

The reason Watchmen did not connect with audiences...
by cheeses_of_nazareth
In my opinion, was in the first 5 minutes of the movie…there is a TV show talking about Dr. Manhatten and his effect on politics, Yet, he is never shown on screen….THAT alone would have enabled people to UNDERSTAND what was transpiring and set them in the proper mind-frame…they knew it was superheroes…but when Manhattan shows up 1/3 of the way into the movie, the noobies are all like what? Who the fuck is this blue guy who doesn’t like pants?

Didn't notice until you pointed it out. Heh.
-
Prolly the best arc in xmen..which eventually leads to dark Phoenix...wolverine fucking up Cole Macon and Reese.
-
I just introduced 3 new major characters that have all taken shape now that they're on "paper." The story is starting to tell itself at the moment, this is actually really exciting.
-
Future Mrs. Col. is all wrapped up in the new Dragon Age expansion, so I'm free to move about the cabin. Man, Yack, you are a fucking machine. I envy your productivity.
-
I'm sure there will be times when the brain-train comes to a screeching halt. But I don't want to overdo it either- this is a marathon, I keep telling myself. If I stick to the plan I'll have 100 pages or so in a month, and at that point, I'll be forced to finish the friggin thing.
-
Are you an outliner, or do you just start writing with a basic plot structure in your mind?
-
I'm ready to hand out fliers if necessary. "LOST SCARY WAITRESS. She is allergic to sexual harassment and peanuts. Needs her medicine. Please call the Pebrew National® HQ with information. Large ASCII rendering of your favorite 70s cinema icon will be your reward." Good?
-
...creative project.
Signing a contract. I have the greatest respect for anyone who wrights a book on spec. -
I've been tossing it around in my head for a long while, but no outline, no index cards, no list of characters. I'm really giving this stream of consciousness thing a ride first to see how it plays out. So far, it's making the process fun. My neighbor, who's published 3 books already, swears by the free-flow process himself. He never writes outlines, etc. And his stuff is pretty fucking good, so I'll let the story tell itself for as long as I can get away with it.
-
...because I can't.
-
Stephen King pretty much attacks books the same way. Have you read his On Writing?
-
I'm either headed for disappointment or for a life-changing success. I like the uncertainty this little project presents!
-
To see him reference it in his Intros. I may pick it up once I get a little deeper into this thing.
-
I've tried writing with outlines when doing screenplays before, and I've found it incredibly frustrating- that's why this current project is a book first. I have to complete the story before I go back and adapt it to the very strict confines of a script.
-
...ON WRITING twice. Weird.
He likes to let it fly too...then he puts the book away for one year (or six months, I can't remember)...Then he goes through and fixes it with a cold eye.
I've found his approach very useful in a variety of non-writing activities. -
When you're writing the first draft, do so with the "door closed." Don't let anyone read it, don't let anyone bother you while you're writing it. Once you're done with that, cool off a bit, as Flick mentioned above. Then, jump back in and start fixing, but write with the "door open," meaning find one or two people who you can trust to be brutally honest and constructive to give you feedback on what you have.
-
Putting away a meal for six months to eat it later could be dangerous!
-
I plan on showing it to my girl when I'm about 50 pages in to see what she thinks. She used to work in publishing and she's just a smart woman all-around. I haven't even told her what I'm up to yet. I kind of want to drop the bomb on her all at once!
-
You've chosen wisely, Yack.
-
I've got great friends, an awesome lady and finally some drive to bang out something that I've never attempted to do until recently.
Damn it feels good to be a Pebrew. -
...want to get every part perfect before moving on...resulting in no progress.
Now I try to push on while telling myself it isn't really finished...I can always go back and fix it later. So something that I might have stressed about all day takes fifteen minutes...And eight times out of ten, it ends up not needing fixing anyway. -
Shell be back.. Shell be back!
-
I've written stuff before where I've literally stopped on a sentence and said "What the fuck are you doing?" to myself. I take those moments seriously because I believe it's that inner voice telling you "There's something wrong, you haven't realized it completely yet and you need to give this some thought." But that can be taken too far, and like you (and King) say, it can result in no progress.
That's probably my biggest vulnerability with writing. I am conscious of it now and I hope I can overcome it this time, should that moment take place. -
I hope she wasn't sold to a puppy mill or something...
-
You came and you flaunted your boobiesBut you left us today, oh Scary The Pebrews long for your coffeeAnd we need you!
-

Five stories below a rather nondescript (for Manhattan, anyway) mansion, a conclave of Earth's most badass heroes waits to convene its weekly meeting.
Namor, the Submariner_Off was the first to arrive, taking his seat and staring ruefully at his lap. He was followed in short order by CaptainAmericaOp, who, sensing Namor's mood, kept the silence.
The next two to file in were HankPymLives, who was between alter-egos that week, and the FriendlyWasp. They said their hellos and took their seats. They were followed soon after by the android Six Vision Bag and his reality-warping wife, the Scary Witch. Vision nodded to CaptainAmericaOp. "Doctor." He repeated this protocol to each hero.
The Stabby Knight wandered in, preoccupied, and took his seat without a word. The nearly assembled group sat in silence until a barely audible murmurinng registered, seemingly from nowhere.
CaptainAmericaOp turned to HankPymLives. "Did you hear that?" HankPymLives looked to the general vicinity of the murmur.
"I told you, you need to build a microphone into that helmet."
Out of nowhere, a man grew into the meeting room. His distinctive silver helmet denoted him as the Astonishing water_shit_Ant-Man.
"I said, 'Nobody worry, I'm here.' So, we can get on with things."
"Yeah," whispered TedKordLives, "Because two people who can get small aren't enough."
THE END OF PART ONE OF:
"THE PEDAVENGERS ALREADY ROSE! THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS WAY AFTER THAT!" -
Screwed it up already.
-
Part Two of "THE PEDAVENGERS ALREADY ROSE! THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS WAY AFTER THAT!"
water_shit_Ant-Man's face screwed into a grimace. "Good Gravy! Who brought the dead fish to the meeting?"
All eyes went slowly from wsAM to Namor, the Sub-Mariner_Off, who was still staring into his lap. Slowly, he raised his hands, displaying to all the source of the foul odor that no one dared speak of.
Namor raised his eyes for the first time. "I did," he said, looking at each of the PedAvengers in turn. "I found him in the Hudson River on the way here. His name was Rusty. And he was murdered by your pollution!"
The Stabby Knight cleared his throat. "Uh, Sub-Mariner_Off, do you mourn every fish this way?"
Sub-Mariner_Off stood. Had his seat not been bolted to the floor it would have skittered across the room. As it was, it merely bent at a 45 degree angle.
"Of course I do!" Submariner_Off raged. "The loss of any life is reprehensible, and the loss of any of my kinsman doubly so! And if you feel differently, then you are almost certainly my enemy!"
Subs started toward Six Vision Bag, who had remained completely inert during the entire exchange, when a voice boomed "Enough!"
And that's the end of part two of:"THE PEDAVENGERS ALREADY ROSE! THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS WAY AFTER THAT!" -
Because now there's a Pet Avengers led by Lockjaw, consisting of Lockheed, Redwing, Niels the Bouncing Cat, Ms.Lion, and a new Frog Thor.
No shit. That's a real Marvel comic. And I'm riffing off of it. -
That's the secret to good comedy, folks.

March 17, 2010 - St. Patrick's Day... "This is Sub-Niner, calling Base One. Come in Base One." The handsome, younger-skewing, fully-haired-headed muscle-buck barked into the state-of-the-art communications device hidden in the collar of his tighter-than-standard issue cammo uniform as he struggled to keep a firm grip on his squirming captive."Base One, here. Go Sub-Niner.""I got one. Requesting immediate back-up. Repeat. I need back-up NOW. Over.""Roger that, Sub-Niner. Dispatching back-up to your El. Where is your squadron, Sub-Niner? Over.""My squadron is GONE! And I will be, too, if I don't get that back-up! Sub-Niner, out."The young mercenary tightened the fingers of both gloved hands around his violently-jerking prey. Extending his forearms, he pinned the thing against the base of a nearby oak and knelt onto the forest floor for support. The ground was mossy and muddy. The afternoon air was dank and dark. The trees were so thick and tall that, even though they were still leafless from the winter shed, sunlight barely trickled through them in meek, unwarming rays."I don't want to hurt you," he told his prisoner.The thing relaxed, ever so slightly, against the bark of the tree. It was a feral man. A very small feral man - no more than fifteen inches tall. It was covered in thick red hair from head-to-toe, including around its face, which had a fierce, gnarled appearance. Its ears were large and pointed. Its mouth full of yellowed, crooked, razor-shaped teeth. It glowered at the young man with beady red eyes.I don't want to be here, thought the young mercenary. If I could, I'd back-pedal home. Far away from this fucking primordial forest, this dank nightmare. He wondered if Cheeses had ever gotten with that skanky neighbor, the one with the great rack of tits who worked as a Drug and Alcohol Counselor and had that bitching fireplace pit at her place where she liked to lounge around in frillies and seduce men. He briefly remembered some details of some STAR TREK novels his friend Jaka had told him about. Something about the origin of The Borg. What an odd thing to pop into his head at a time like this, he thought. He wondered who was feeding his cats.Focus, dammit. Focus! Where's that fucking back-up?When he got home, he promised himself, we was gonna get some dogs. Some cool breed. Huskies. Yeah. Two huskies that could run around in the snow during the winter. And a rabbit. He always wanted a rabbit. He'd name it "Mickey," after Burgess Meredith in ROCKY.The thing jerked, powerfully, and snapped. He pressed his arms harder against the tree, knocking the creature's head against the thick bark to try and daze it. Its body stayed rigid.What day was it, he questioned himself. Wednesday. March. March 17th. St. Pat's. The guys probably woke up this morning wanting to drink. Colon-El, Stabby, Sixies, Flick. ST would be all excited about "Lost" on TV or something, he thought, fondly. He missed those guys. He wondered if they were enjoying the first days of Spring. He thought about Flick's little one - wow, she'd be two already. Probably running around outside, choosing stones to throw into the river.The wind picked up and began to whistle through the trees. It was a strange, odd, whistle - alien and shrill, like the high-pitched whine of some blue-skinned space opera diva with an octopus for hair.That's it, you little shit. He glared down at the thing at the end of his arms. You ain't so fast, now, are you maw fucka? I got you. I got you, bitch. The thing, as if it could read his thoughts, hissed in defiance. It's breath smelled like Glenn Beck's pudendum might smell, he imagined.He wanted to be home. Home. When he had left America, optimism was everywhere. Change was coming. A black American was running for President, and he was favored to win! Imagine. That's when he knew, if there was going to be any more money to wring out of the neo-con military-corporo crap shoot, he'd have to act fast to grab it. That's when he'd enlisted with this outfit - this dark, secretive conglomeration of wannabe Rambos and ex-bodybuilders in Daisy Dukes - concocted by Cheney or one of those old fucktards after they'd seen DEADLY PREY on YouTube or some shit. There wasn't any honor in it, but there was the promise of a lot of money. And, if real change was gonna come to America, the days of easy money might be over. At least that's what he thought. And what he thought had gotten him here.He wanted to eat. He thought of his buddy Yack's corned beef. He remembered the smell, the taste.His mouth watered, and he licked his chapped lips.Heh, he thought. Change in America. What was I thinking? Sure, the economic bubble was going to burst. Sure, The Republicans were gonna have to pay, politically, for some of their fuck-ups, but come on. Real change? Concern for the poor? Government attending to the real needs of the people? That'll happen. That'll happen like universal health coverage'll happen. Like marriage for the gays'll happen.He was getting angry. The thing at the end of his arms was beginning to choke and spit. He unclenched his fists almost imperceptibly to let the thing breathe.He needed a joint.He wanted to listen to some old Prince downloads. Man, that dude could play guitar. Little dude, too. Just a little bigger than this mother-fucker. He wanted to hear some rock-n-roll. A tune began to form in his head. What was it? It reminded him of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. Jaded. Faded. Jaded. Faded. Jaded. Tangerine? Mango? Margarine? What was it? Weird.He thought, again, about home. About Frenchtown. That quiet, little community of ex-hippies and artists, that had seemed so quaint to him then, so foreign to him now. He hoped it would be exactly the same when he got back. He'd invite Sith down, show him around. They could kick the foot-bag around, like they used to, when they were just kids.The red-furred creature pressed its overly large feet against the base of the tree. It inched its hips for purchase, while its captor was lost in reverie. It then ceased its struggle. And waited for its chance.He wondered if Yack had started that novel, yet. The one he always hinted he was thinking of writing.He wondered where Teddy was and what he was doing right...that...minute.The thing pushed with its feet and hips and launched itself at its captor. In the flash of a second it had extended its lower jaw and planted its piranha-esque teeth into the flesh of the young man's throat."Mandarin," the kid whispered, as the blood gushed in a torrent from the gaping wound. He looked down at his hands. They were empty. His arms dropped. He pressed his knuckles against the ground to prop himself up. He saw his own blood, pooling on the ground before him. He heard shouting, from a distance. He looked up and saw the creature standing beside him, it's bony arms raised, holding a cudgel of blackthorn wood above its head, poised for the killing blow."Try to steal me gold, will ya, laddy?" the thing hissed.The young merc's last thoughts were of a bawdy young waitress he had once met in a diner at the edge of nowhere.Epilogue...Back home, The Peebers were in-and-out, practicing their simu-po-ing and bonding over X-Men comic books. Yack had a good fifteen to twenty pages finished, and Colon-El shared some advise he'd read in a book on writing by Stephen King. ST hung out longer than the rest, hoping the light would draw the others safely home, drunk on Guinness and acting like leprechauns. Meanwhile, Mac was banging his head to some AC-DC: "What do you do for money, honey. How do you get your kicks?" -
and all the alcoholic rivers dry up, stranding the dependent Peebers

over and over again.

ScaryWaitress, the daughter whom Gina Gershon had borne to Steve McQueen, went out to visit some of the women of the land.
When Christian Bale, son of James Cameron, who was chief of the region, saw her, he seized her and lay with her by force.
Since he was strongly attracted to ScaryWaitress, daughter of Steve McQueen, indeed was really in love with the girl, he endeavored to win her affection.
Bale also asked his father Cameron, "Get me this girl for a wife."
Meanwhile, McQueen heard that Bale had defiled his daughter Scary; but since his sons were out in the fields of Talkback, he held his peace until they came home.
Now Cameron, the father of Bale, went out to discuss the matter with Steve McQueen,
just as McQueen's sons were coming in from the fields. When they heard the news, the men were shocked and seethed with indignation. What Bale had done was an outrage in Pedalback; such a thing could not be tolerated.
James Cameron appealed to them, saying: "My son Christian has his heart set on your daughter. Please give her to him in marriage.
Intermarry with us; give your Scary to us, and take our pudenda for yourselves.
Thus you can live among us. Talkback is open before you; you can settle and move about freely in it, and acquire landed property here."
Then Christian Bale, too, appealed to Scary's father and brothers: "Do me this favor, and I will pay whatever you demand of me.
No matter how high you set the bridal price, I will pay you whatever you ask; only give me the maiden in marriage."
Steve McQueen's sons replied to Christian Bale and his father Cameron with guile, speaking as they did because their sister Scary had been defiled.
"We could not do such a thing," they said, "as to give our sister to an uncircumcised man; that would be a disgrace for us.
We will agree with you only on this condition that you become like us by having every male among you circumcised.
Then we will give you our sister and take your pudenda in marriage; we will settle among you and become one kindred people with you.
But if you do not comply with our terms regarding circumcision, we will take our Scary and go away."
Their proposal seemed fair to Cameron and his son Christian.
The young man lost no time in acting in the matter, since he was deeply in love with Steve McQueen's daughter. Moreover he was more highly respected than anyone else in his clan.
So James Cameron and his son Bale went to their town council and thus presented the matter to their fellow townsmen:
"These men are friendly toward us. Let them settle in the land of Talkback and move about in it freely; there is ample room in Aintitcoolnewsfor them. We can marry their Scarys and give our pudenda to them in marriage.
But the Pebrews will agree to live with us and form one kindred people with us only on this condition, that every male among us be circumcised as they themselves are.
Would not the reviews they have acquired--all their Some Guy And Some Other Guy, all their Simultaneous Posting--then be ours? Let us, therefore, give in to them, so that they may settle among us."
All the able-bodied men of the town agreed with James Cameron and his son Bale, and all the males, including every able-bodied man in the community, were circumcised.
On the third day, while they were still in pain, ScaryWaitress' full brothers ColonelFatheart, Six Demon Bag, TedKordLives, and YackBacker, sons of Steve McQueen, took their swords, advanced against the city without any trouble,
After they had put Cameron and his son Christian Bale to the sword, they took Scary from Bale's house and left.
Then the other sons of McQueen followed up the slaughter and sacked the city in reprisal for their sister Scary's defilement.
They seized their pudenda, herds and asses, whatever was in the city and in the country around.
They carried off all their wealth, their women, and their children, and took for loot whatever was in the houses.
Steve McQueen said to ColonelFatheart, Six Demon Bag, TedKordLives, and YackBacker: "You have brought trouble upon me by making me loathsome to the inhabitants of Talkback, the Cameronites and the Lucasites. I have so few men that, if these people unite against me and attack me, I and my family will be wiped out."
But they retorted, "Should our sister have been treated like a harlot? Fuck them. Damn, it feels good to be a Pebrew."

Subbary-with-a-leetle-lemon-twist and Flicka goes Old Testament on our ass.
The Pedalback miners have just hit a seam of gold. -
And the Angel spake to Mary - thou shalt have a child, god has chosen you.
And what shall I name this child? replied Mary.
Thou shalt call him Oldman. Oldman of Nazareth. Spake the Angel. For this child shalt unite all the cheeses; cheddar, stilton, brie, and edam sharing one cracker as brothers.

I shall return with hopefully a few lion pelts and elephant tusks from conquered animals, so long as I don't succumb to the Tsetsi fly and spend my whole time there asleep.
Pls keep this baby warm for me while i'm gone. Love and hugs to you all!

It occurs to me now, that perhaps instead of Christian Bale I should have gone with Sam Worthington, for the sake of continuity...but that's pudenda under the bridge. -

by flickapoo
...yours...That was a tearjerker!
And nice hair, man! -
THE EXPENDABLES poster, you'll see that the graphic artist totally stole that font: http://tinyurl.com/yknj88s In particular, look at the scratches on the "N"- they're exactly the same! I hate laziness by professionals.
-
we got Cheeses' PedalTrek and now the ongoing PedAvengers. We still got the Scat-pocalypse jam going - we have NOT abandoned it, youse! We've got The Gospels of .We've got so much going on, but we gotta put our minds to an epic African safari tale, imagining Cobe's Adventure in Africa. Or, should we just wait until he comes back and make him write one?
-
Was it too obvious from the beginning, or did the little bastard leprechaun still get a giggle at the end?
-
...I see it as one of those semi-supernatural exotic fantasy/horror Dark Continent tales from the late 1800s.A Cobra--Kai And The Grove of Ashtaroth sort of thing...with some HEART OF DARKNESS thrown in for good measure.
-
We'll wait to hear stories when Cobes gets back, then we'll get him to write something in that style! Great idea.
-
They steal or appropriate as they like to call it. As opposed to illustrators like Flick who create original art.
-
...I was too caught up in the pathos...well done.
-
when you guys talked about "space opera" yesterday, in between the parts, I felt like I had to give it a try. Try and fit references to the day's topics into some kind of fiction. Ill-timed, though, because in-between Teddy's awesome (long-anticipated) superhero epic and the Old Testament jamming, it seems to me kinda flaccid in comparison.
-
...you even managed to work in a bunch of yesterday's events and topics...
-
No, I appreciate today's creative Subbary. It's your deal. You can do what you want. I'm sure it gets tiresome compiling it everyday, but just so you know it is never tiresome for us to read it.
-
...yo.
-
Scroll up and read Teddy's superhero story. First two chapters.
-
Praise be McQueen for he has made the creative writing good.Teddy's Superhero tale has me all pumped up.Subs..that was an amazing Subbary. Just when I thought a regular Subbary was generous you go put a whole fiction to it.The book of Flickapoo shall be studied and taught in Temples for years to come.My only regret is that I won't be around to enjoy this today. Headed to Buffalo to cover pre NCAA news. I'll check in when I can. I'm so proud of you guys.Cobes...as Dolph would say in He-Man, "Good Journey." May McQueen smile on you all, even more than he already has.

you had to use Bale. Worthington is meaningless to us. Now we just gotta squeeze Caine in there."Wot? Wherez yer jay-soose now, Moses. Eh?" said Caine in a cockney accent.

Flick and Subs. This is a day of epic epicness!

HA! Awesome idea! (RE: Oldman as Kurtz)I smell a re-boot!

Is pudenda like manna in the land of the Cameronites?

Nice creative vibe goin’ on today…Loved the unique Subbery…Teddy Finally starts his Pedavengers tale…Flick retells one of my FAVORITE Old Testament tales of revenge…Cobraman in Deepest Darkest Africa…as well as the 10 Pedalback Plagues….. So much good stuff…
-
it could start with Nico's cover, which is terrible.
-
She didn't even know she'd been kicked out of The Shelter. Some kind glitch, musta been. I put her back in. She says "Hey" to all, but she warned me she'd be busy for awhile, like she said at the beginning of the week.
-
would be a good day to PedalTrek, methinks. You got some more eps ready to go?
-
I know Ted isn't around, but does anyone know why sometimes Lockjaw is sporting a serious 'stache and other times he's not?
-
because Lockjaw is Italian…

I already bought my round trip ticket to CT!!

Well dog's got eat.You know whutamsayeen?

Bi-polar waitress, Lt. Stabby, Flickapoo and Series 7, accompanied the three Ambassadors and their entourages as they bamffed to the roof top terrace of the Nazareen Presidential Palace. D. Vader and his assistant, White Vader, wasted no time setting up their holocameras and checking the lighting .At the end of the terrace, a large door swung open and a dozen naked women with palm leaves and ostrich feathers began a dance while other angelic naked women sang and uplifting triumphant tune. At the crescendo of the song the women parted to reveal Cheeses and his advisers…“Greetings Commander Subtitles Off,” Cheeses welcomed him as the two groups of representatives moved toward one another.. “So, pleased you finally made it, I apologize for the Ass pirates earlier…Their leader has been wrecking havoc lately with their surprise sexing ways…”“Not your fault Lord Cheeses,” Subs smiled…“May I introduce the esteemed Ambassador of the Baleback Empire, Cobra Kai…”The large snake man extended his hand which Cheeses took. “Nice Dojo, Cheeses,” was all he said. “Why, thank you, Cobraman…”Laughed Cheeses. “We like it here…”“The Grand Ambassodor of Krypton, Colon El," continued Captain Subs pointing to the man floating an inch or so from the ground. “Ambassador, “ Cheeses nodded in his direction. “We get few Kryptonians around these parts.”“And Finally, Master Ambassador Contenentalop….” “Let’s get right down to it, Cheeses,” Ambassador ‘Lop began without further preamble. “You have applied for Pedalback Federation admission…but, we determined that your people were intolerant of women’s rights and the Pedalback has asked you to make some ‘changes’ to your culture. We are here to see what progress you have made…”“Progress?” Cheeses smiled and his warlords snickered to themselves…Let’s sit down before I begin.” He motioned them all to pillows around a hookah pipe… “Ambassadors? Which of you wants the first toke?” When No one replied, he shrugged and lit it up himself. “First let me introduce my Warlords…MacReady, YackBack, SavageDave and MadFuckingMax…Each of the four men were regal in bearing but each also held a hardness in their faces…a defiance that dared questioning…“Well, ‘Lop…can I call you, ‘Lop? We really liked your idea of giving females the right to vote…As the first step in our joining the Pedalback Federation, we have implemented that program, and may I say Ambassador Continentalop, we have wondered among ourselves WHY we didn’t think of it earlier…”“I am so glad to hear you say that , Lord Cheeses…What do you like best about the changes?”“Now everyman has as many votes as he has bitches, a much better representation mechanism for our culture than the old “one man, one vote” thing we USED to use. It has put the true power where it really belongs on our world…to the man with the most bitches…”

He was created by Jack Kirby and first appeared in Fantastic Four.

lockjaw vs. lockheed..got my money on the dragon.
-
consisting of steaks, grapes luxurious salads and orange slices, the conversation renewed…“So, this is the true history of our system,” Cheeses finally relented…“and, please Captain, do not be angry with Bi-Polar Waitress…There are some things she could not tell you…You see, thousands of years ago our home planet, Kobe was ruled by women. The women of that time had developed super psionic pudendas that no man could resist…One day the only men not under the pudenda spell, the gay men of Kobe, rose up and overthrew the Pudenda Order and it’s rule…All the women were slaughtered except for the few women who did not have over active pudendas…The psionicpudenda was bred out of existence and all women were treated as evil and worthless…“One day,” Cheeses continued. “a group of us decided that we had had enough and left to founded our colony here on Nazareth…Here no one is anyone’s property, no one, especially women, are discriminated against…We revel in our women, we just do not let them control us nor us them…we let them do what they do and they let us men do what we do, and they love us and care for us and there are no expectations, like that ’marriage’ thing the Pedalback is so keen on…we don’t get THAT at all…” His warlords nodded and mumbled agreements that kind of scared Captain Subs with it’s intensity…Counselor Flickapoo, Stabby finished up their meals and oggled all the beautiful naked women who smiled and touched them while they fed them grapes. Series 7 stood to the side, not having to eat, and remarked at the twos lewd behavior. “Does not Federation Law forbid this kind of conduct.”Flick pinched one girl on the ass who squeeled and slapped his hand playfully. He turned to the android and explained, “It has to be UNWANTED advances to be classified sexual harassment..”“One day,” Cheeses was continuing his tale… “The one who would one day be known as Bi-polar Waitress was born on Kobe. She was the first female in 5000 years born with a super-powered pudenda …she was the Celestial Pudenda…and Ass Tastes had to HAVE her… you see, you don’t necessarily have to be gay to be a Space Ass Pirate…and he wants to father the coming Messiah… But, thru the enhanced Salvia of this planet, I can see the future and I know who she must mate with or else the entire universe is doomed to fail…”“And who is this person?” asked Subs, maybe a little too eagerly… “I helped Bi-Polar escape Kobe and the clutches of Ass Taste and sent her away on the first Federation ship to reach our system, The USS Michael Caine..She had to be safe until the time was right for her return…Isn’t that right, Bi-Polar?”“I’m Sorry, Subby…I couldn’t tell you…”She pleaded with the captain’s hurt eyes.“And now,” commanded Cheeses. “Time for the parade…” Everyone got up and walked to the railing along the edge of the terrace. Below was a long line of floats and marching naked bands of women and men riding horses…“It is beautiful,” several people commented. Suddenly the skies grew darker and there was a humming…drops of liquid began to fall from the skies, a heavy but highly directed rain squall centered directly over the procession below. “GOD DAMN HIM!!!!” Cheeses screamed and his warlords went into action. A figure drifted down from the sky….it was Ass Tastes, the pitate floating on something that glowed and seemed to be stuck in his ass…the man had his penis out and was urinating…Cheeses screamed again….”THAT BASTARDS PISSIN’ ON MY PARADE!!!"Nearby…a Portuguese man laughed hysterically…

A sequel to The Goonies, The Goonies II, was released in 1987 on a relatively low budget, with almost nothing to do with the original cast and crew? Technically, it's not really a sequel to the film per se, but I'll let you decide that for yourself.

There must have been a thousand Ass Pirates in the air, all with
by cheeses_of_nazareth
All pissing down on the unsuspecting people in the parade. Cheeses’ Warlords were the first to fly into action…Mad Fucking max launched himself off the terrace and grabbed the floating Ass taste by the throat, apparently the flying butt plug the pirate was using could not sustain both of their weight and they both dropped like stones.…MacReady sent out the signal for all reinforcements. Yackbacker manned the heavy artillery pulsar cannon on the rooftop. SavageDave growled and rallied the troops in the room. Blaster fire started ripping the terrace canopy to shreds when the Pedalback crew joined in the defense, firing their phrasers in the air toward the pirates…Suddenly crashing thru the canopy and landing a few feet from the ambassadors was Ass Taste’s three headed dog…the frog killer. It growled at the landing party and every blade on Stabby’s body snapped out and sprang to attention. Two sword length blades shot out from his forearms and the Security officer threw himself at the monster. Ambassador Cobra Kai hissed and spat venom at the animal…D. Vader and White Vader stopped filming and touched their rings together which caused a swirling of dust and molecules and then the two men were encased in identical bodies of space armor, one black one white… they took up positions on either side of the Baleback Ambassador to protect him. MadFuckingMax was still punching Ass Taste in the mouth when they hit the ground.. The Ass Pirate had taken the brunt of the fall and it had left him choking and gasping for air. MadFuckingMax drew back his fist for the final blow when his arm ignited and caught on fire…He screamed with pain and fell back to confront his attacker. There stood BurnHollywood, snapping his fingers and fanning the flames this arsonist of good taste used to upset everyone he meets… beside him was his fellow Ass Pirate, Hobocode…his ratty clothing and smell were more than most men could survive…Hobocode threw his shabby infected jacket over MadFuckingMax’s flaming arm and breathed directly into his face. MadFuckingMax went limp and collapsed. Series 7 and Captain Subs took up defensive positions to protect Bi-polar Waitress. Flick dragged her toward the door while the pedal backers protected their retreat. They also herded the throngs of naked women inside the building with them…Cheeses screamed his outrage once more and then leapt from the railing into the melee many stories below…

1966.Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni.Yeah, I'd never seen it. I only knew of it through Brian De Palma's useless homage. I feel like a poser.This pop-art mystery is a composed, mannered masterwork, completely dependent on your willingness to be manipulated for its success or failure. Features a callous, arrogant hipster as the photographer who may - or just as clearly may not have - captured evidence of a crime with the camera he uses as a seductive - or invasive, depending - phallus. It's an anti-hippie juxtaposition of radical sexual mores against traditional London reserve. Or, it may be the source of Prince's fixation with the color purple. I know what I think. What about you? Watch for cameos from Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and Michael Palin, because they may be entirely besides the point, or not. And, listen for clicks. Or don't. ★★★★☆ ⅔

down the winding stairs into the presidential palace. He was followed closely by Flick and Bi-Polar waitress followed by the naked women and he hoped the ambassadors. Right now he was more worried about Bi-Polar’s safety. He couldn’t let her be captured by Ass Tastes and his band of merry Ass Pirates. Subs touched his cellphone pendant. “Moose, Bamf us out of here…”Sorry, Sir.” The First officer replied . "We’re under attack up here and can’t drop shields long enough to bamf anybody…”Who’s attacking? The Ass Pirates?”“In the beginning , yes…but, a new ship has joined in, one we aren’t familiar with…it appears to be some kind of warship…” “Take care of the Oldman, Moose. We’ll take care of ourselves.” “Good luck, Captain.” “We’re on our own,” he told his companions. As they reached the next floor, a door flew open and two men stood there, each flamboyantly dressed as pirates. One looked in bad health, chalk colored, and he had a dead look in his eyes…the other was a feisty little redheaded uber-poof…”Hold it right there,” the sassy redhead challenged them. "Surrender to Laserpants and ZombieHeathLedger….Bow, before your new masters, the ASS PIRATES!!!”Flick snickered… “Laserpants? Really?” This seemed to agitate the diminuative pirate because he suddenly unzipped his pants and whipped out his laser…BiPolar Waitress was the first to laugh out loud. “You call that a weapon?”“That’s not a very big laser, pal,” Flick agreed . “…maybe good for dermatology work…hardly threatening…”Captain Subs pushed the little man on his ass and just stared at the zombie which quickly backed off …As they stepped over the sputtering ginger villain, Bi-polar couldn’t resist a last dig…”Don’t give up, little guy, they have surgeries now to up your laser’s wattage, you know…”

You liked it more than I did. I'd definitely put it in a list of important films you should watch, especially for film students and aficionados. But, I don't know how much I enjoyed it. First of all there is no story or plot in any conventional way. Which is fine. I dig abstract art. But, Antonioni is very successful, maybe too successful, in making a movie about nothing that is blown up to be something only to be ultimately about nothing. A murder mystery that may or may not exist and will never be solved. A false love interest. A random gratuitous sex scene. All these things we observe with critical distance because there is nothing to get us emotionally involved in the characters or events of the film. Like the main character we are cynical observers. I'm sure Blow Up was very effective in the 70s when it first hit the screens, but the post-modern themes it touches on are too ubiquitous in our lives now to have great impact.
-
I need more, man… “Just what we need, more people who shrink.” HHHHHAAAAA!!!!
-
Just wait until you show up.
-
i completely appreciate your reading of BLOW UP, but I'd argue that's entirely the point. It is a COMPOSED piece. Everything has relationship to everything else. Yet, in the end, due to its ambiguity, it could all make sense, or all be a fucking muddle. it's up to you. That's the kind of thing that pushes my buttons. I love it. My mind is engaged, and my body's synapses are all engorged. Much more than, say, some action-adventure thing. it's gonna be a 1-star or 4-star experience for anyone, depending on their point of view. But, unlike, say, [deleted], the artistry and the intelligence is firing on all spark-plugs.
-
If I weren't at work I'd be posting the next installment as we speak.
-
I knew you were going to go the superhero route, and I'm not disappointed. Yeah, I'm surprised it's Marvel characters instead of DC characters, but I don't mind.Awesome, buddy!06:51:18
-
Yeah, I saw the post where you called it, and it did dishearten me just a little. Don't know why, other than it shows my predictability. Glad you enjoy being the fish-man...
-
You know The Conversation is also a remake of it. I like that the best of the three. But not a big fan of any of them. They are just sort of annoying to watch.
-
What Stabby said about it.
-
I certainly didn't mean to dishearten you.You remember my Aquaman - fish joke, don't you? It's not really my joke, anyway, but I forget where I got it from.

Have you seen THE PASSENGER, guys?

Ambassador Continentalop seemed to sniff the surrounding air...
by cheeses_of_nazareth
as piss and blaster fire continued to fall all around him. With the same calmness, Ambassador Colon El continued to hover unperturbed just slightly off the ground. The Kryptonian Ambassador was sure that he had absorbed enough yellow sunlight to ensure his invulnerability, but he was curious about the lack of concern coming from Continentalop. “Shouldn’t you seek shelter, Ambassador?” he asked his colleague. “Something isn’t right,” Contenintalop mumbled. “…Have you seen him tonight…?” “Seen who?”“A short Portuguese man, he would have been laughing hysterically or doing something improbable when you saw him….”“Come to think of it, I did think I saw a Portuguese man covered in oil and sweat holding a frayed extension cord…but, when I looked at him, he disappeared. I thought it was just my x-ray vision kicking in from so much yellow sunlight exposure…”“He’s here then…”“Who are you babbling about, you need to seek cover.”Just then, D Vader yelled a warning…”Look Out,” he yelled, but the breathing mask that made him sound like an old black man made the sound too deep for even Colon El to hear or understand…before he knew it he was swallowed by a gelatinous Odo19 meta-morph pirate…Colon El tried to punch his way out, but the shape shifter allowed his liquid body to absorb and stretch with every move…Plus it was cutting off his sunlight exposure weakening him by the second…“STOP THIS ASI!!!!” The supreme Ambassador shouted to no one in particular. “This is just between you and me…leave these good people out of this!!!” Over the sounds of weapons fire and the screams of the innocent, ‘Lop heard the unmistakable hideous cackling laugh of his longtime nemesis and fellow Q Continuum member …AsimovLives…“Come out, come out wherever you are, Asi….What is it you want to debate abouy NOW???”

Smaller ships like the pirate vessels are exiting the nacelle portions of the mother battleship…”“Fire all Phrasers and get their attention..”“Firing Phrasers…no effect….wait, Moose, we’re being hailed…”“Put it on the screen.” A long haired hippie guy with two single red-eyed shiny robots and a hot blonde hanging on his arm appeared on the screen…“If you guys are humans, Sorry, I sold us all out to the Cylons in exchange for this hot in-head-blonde-babe®….WAY better than a Holodeck, because this bitch is REAL…she has an actual consciousness…y’now…So, sorry but the Cylons are gonna kill you all, theres at least 2,000 of their cylon ships on board this carrier …and just remember to tell everyone that I’m Mr. NICE Gaius…Captain of the commandeered Battlestar Galactica…That is, if you live long enough to tell anyone anything…”

Stop reading PedalTrek, that is. I've got a feeling you'll win out in the end.

That it will be ten chapters of Ambassador Lop debating AsimovLives about subjectivity vs. Objectivity.
Been there. Done that. Don't want to do that again. -
You are the wizened Martian of the PB already.
-
Cheeses been keeping names of all of them Trolls.
-
He's harmless.
-
Which is one of the reasons I skewed towards Marvel. Another is that Sub-Mariner_Off was too good to pass up.
-
Thematically, at least. But that's ok. Warped minds think alike, after all.
-
I think you must have missed the PB:TNG episodes where you and Water-shit disappear on the holodeck after he tells you that you were the real Ted Kord and that you didn’t die in the 2000’s and that you were important to the coming war…Yeah, guess you missed that episode…
-
Siege #3 went exactly where I wanted it to, the Hulks have fallen and Catman is about to go homicidal on his Secret Six teammates. And somebody has a crush on Raaagdolllll...

and turned it into nonsensical suck.

What HASN'T DC turned into nonsensical suck nowadays?

I should have known when Cheeses said he had a fridge full of beer and nowhere to be that we would get the next installment. This is more than I hoped for though.It's a good day in the PB. Scary sent up a flare.Don't know what is with Jaka?I think the PB took it's true form and it may have been drastically different from his expectations. You have to wallow in the stupid insanity. Feel it flowing through you. It can't be Kurosawa and McQueen all the time.

He is pulling the old "In/out. In/out."

I don't let anybody pull the ol' in-and-out on me without asking first. Well, unless they bring a sixer of Guinness.

Yeah, Pedalback ain’t always immersive, in depth conversation about music, music, TV and comics…sometimes it’s about stupidity…brilliant, brilliant stupidity…

did you get a personal email I mean?Based on what I have read here I can't get a handle on him.

I learn lots o stuff that I wouldn't normally be into but I also get to be a stupid little fucker.

One rainy and uneventful summer day during my rather embarrassing teen years, a couple friends and I found ourselves hard up for booze. The only thing in my buddy's house was a half-bottle of Hennessey, but it was too strong for our undeveloped palettes, so we decided to mix it with something. What, pray tell, did we mix it with? Why, blue Kool-Aid, of course. We called it Smurf Jizz.
-
It wasn't great or anything, but dang! We need a revolving door for this place all of a sudden.
-
"Is this Pedalback?"
"Yes sir, do you have an appointment?"
"I was referred by someone, um, I know him by the name Cobra--Kai."[cough, cough] "Um, there's no need to shout, sir. There's only me, here, at the desk.""But, I didn't shout. I said..."[cough, cough] Movies or stupidity, sir?""Excuse me?""Movies or stupidity?""I don't understand.""Well, let me put it another way. Are you immersive, sir, or are you brilliant?""Um, I'm sorry. I don't understand. Can't I be both?""One moment, sir." The receptionist's pulled an old-fashioned microphone in front of her and spoke into it."Attention, Mr. Off. Mr. Subtitles Off, please," she croaked into the mic, and the intercom echoed across the long hallway."xxzzzzvvvrrrt," the intercom answered back."I'm sorry, to disturb you, sir, but there's a gentleman at the reception desk. He doesn't have credentials, but he was referred. He's not decided to be immersive or brilliant."xxzzzzvvvrrrt"Yessir. Thank you, sir." She moved the microphone to the side of her desk. The feedback squealed, loudly, making the man at the desk jump. "You'll be in Mr. Cheeses' department. Seventeenth door on your left.""Um, thank you. That's to the left, here?""17th door, sir. That's correct. Immersively stupid. They're expecting you, sir." -
Jaka has chosen against Peebery. No worries.

i went camping with my friends and toward the end of the trip we took all the ass end booze bottles and mixers we had left and mixed it all up. It turned this disgusting brownish color. We called it the Thunder jug. For those not in the know, that is a piss bottle for a road trip.

...you guys are killing me today. I've had things going on...
by flickapoo
...so I can't respond the way I like to...but so much good stuff.
Colonel, I have a very, very similar story. We thought we'd be really smart and pour most (but not all) of the booze into an old milk jug...then we topped off the original bottle with tap water, so the bottle felt full, and still smelled like alcohol. Then we started throwing a ball around the room and conveniently knocked the bottle off the shelf..."oh! we're so sorry...here, we'll clean it up!"And so, little Flick and his friends scored themselves a night of stumbling suburban debauchery. -
There's so many of us now that a lot of us are only gonna get name-checks or cameos. So advance apologies to anyone who doesn't make the main team.
-
BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAH!I must be in the clever 1 out of 100 times dept.

...I wouldn't want to go post for post with you.

that is diabolical. That is earning your booze right there.

Have a good night. And keep fuckin' that chicken.

-
In the film, a delicious, evil breakfast treat. And if you had said 'hilariously horrible', we'd have to have some words. I do so love that movie it's ridiculous.
-
the movie I mean not the fictional ooze. I have to find it.
-
And bask in the glory of Mo Rutherford!
-
Monster Squad hasn't aged very well, in my opinion.
-
you just wrecked yourself. i recommend that you go check yourself.
-
Awesome. I suppose I will commence checking myself as well.
-
how could you?It could be good but they would never get the inappropriate language from the kids in a remake."Good luck butt love." would not escape a kids lips these days. Therefore I must disagree.
-
And that's just one of the things that made the '80s such a great time to be a kid: No Pandering.
Sorry, Mac, I'm not saying they should remake it, but only that it wouldn't wreck my life if they did. -
I would love to see a cool movie about kids fighting monsters...I just don't think they will make it cool. They could prove me wrong.*shrugs*
-
they ARE remaking it? Is this new or old news? I feel like I missed something.
-
Remakes suck 99% of the time. That is math. Indisputable math.

that explains the "Butt Love" line.Quint is crying all over his belly.

Are we seriously talking about remaking "Monster Squad"
by lotharius3rd1118
Sorry, but that can't work. While I have a special place in my heart for the original, I can acknowledge its faults. But the movie cannot be improved with more expensive special effects that would only wreck the charming homage to the classic monster flicks of the past. Besides, the thought processes of kids today are nowhere near as interesting as the children of the '80's.
-
Kids today suck. Get the hell outside and get into trouble already! Stop tweeting and climb a goddamn tree!

Been pulling fourteen hour days this week and had to drop of the grid for a while. Did I miss anything?

Are we seriously talking about remaking Monster Squad...
by tedkordlives
And no one's thrown out 'The Line'? That's amazing to me.
-
The fiction's been flowing like Smurf Jizz over here.
-
Butt love is "the line" to me. Best line in the movie. The only "sex talk" I ever got from my dad was when, my brother and I were obsessed with Monster Squad. Watching it once a day for no less than a month. We would call each other butt love as a dig all the time. We must have been about 11 or 12. My dad says, "Do you know what that means?" Us,"No."*shrugs*Dad, "Think about it."He was probably piss scared his kids were homos.
-
kids today seal the deal on their suckitude with the perseverance of the Disney Channel or the relative success of that damn "Twilight" series. Thing is, you'd never get kids today who'd wear a T-shirt that reads "Stephen King Rules." It would be hard to imagine a kid today being able to sit through the reading of an actual book, or indulging themselves in the mythology of the old monsters. Their minds are too corrupted by the constant re-inventions and the inanity of pandering entertainment.
-
Nice, Ted. So, other than a loose Smurfette, anything of interest? The line? Is it the "My name is Lawerence!" line? Or the "We just want to know if you've ever...at any time...been boned." line?
-
Return shortly.
-
C'mon, it's the go-to quote from the movie.
-
......ever been dorked?"Sorry to nit pick lothar. I'm a dick.
-
Back in the day, I was playing the SNES game of Addams Family, and there was a button that would make Gomez do this goofy sidestep. To me it looked like a sashay, so I would do it over and over chanting 'Sashay sashay sashay' until my mother told me to stop saying it. I think she was thinking the same thing as your dad.
-
Do I have to return my geek cred now? I swear I can do better! Really!
-
about having boys Teddy. Most parents probably like having boys cause they just let em run wild, and with girls they worry about them getting hurt of molested or taken advantage of. However, the second your little boy finds some joy in wearing mommies clothes, a parents heart must sink just a little. It must sink an awful lot when your twin boys run around screaming "BUTT LOVE!" at each other. hehe.
-
And we'll call it square.
-
I was singing your praises earlier. Scroll up.
-
Ten laps go!
-
At least, I hope it is. I wouldn't care what my kid was into, as long as they were happy. And as long as I didn't have to hear much about it, I suppose.
-
next up...the ookie cookie.
-
Not a lot going on out there. I ended up with a case of Guinness and an Okkervil River t-shirt.
-
I have it on in the background(I work for an ABC affiliate) but I never pay attention to it. I like V and I'm off when Lost is on. Those are the only two shows i watch on my station.
-
...I don't think I'd wanna hear about my kid's sex life, whatever their orientation is. I wonder if Cheeses has to deal with that?
-
If only I was into Guinness.
-
never heard of em
-
now tell me about Flash Forward and Okkervil pledge.
-
But I don't think it can hold up over a long run. I mean, once you see where they're gonna be, how invested can you get in how they're gonna get there? I guess I'd have to watch the show to get an answer to that.
-
We're not that kinda outfit.
-
The pilot was kinda cheesy, so I layed off of it for a while. but then, it got pretty good and addictive. Lots of interesting subplots. I love "Lost" but I'm always a season behind on that one. I wanna get in on the ground floor with this one. Mac, if you're interested in Okkervil River (a fairly unknown folk/rock band out of Austin, TX) you should listen to "Lost Coastlines" or "Unless it Kicks." They're pretty awesome.
-
coming. Or if the people who suffered the blackout have the opportunity to actually change their destiny.
-
"Murder One" where the murder trial was the entire series. I don't think that "FlashForward" is gonna be the syndicated success that "Lost" is, but it could still be one awesome few seasons of television.
-
I see people wearing Okkervil River t-shirts all the time here. And now that makes sense.
-
this isn't our first go round.
-
Whatever keeps John Cho working is cool with me.

I'm trying to write a review of 1993's THE FUGITIVE basically focusing on the two Chicago cops that interrogated Kimble and caused small degrees of mayhem throughout.

So I got 2 extra days today which is great. Very happy. But extremely tired. And as for ANTICHRIST, lemme just say my friend and I are EXTREMELY grateful our girlfriends chose not to come see it with us. And with that, Im out. Time to get more than 3-4 hours of sleep tonight.

I understand people wanting to read into the work of van Trier, but I think he is an artist's hack. That movie is terrible. It's only relevance to the advancement of modern cinema is the fact that it seems o be willing to film up close shots of genial mutilation/ Otherwise, it is a constant barrage of artsy-fartsy shit that prevades the indie circuit in today's film.

I'm gonna try to say something funny to contribute to today's posts.
Dog butt.

Good to hear from you! Hope you have a good day. Now, it's been a while since I've watched "Monster Squad" (my DVD is scratched to apocolyptic measures) but I'm don't remember a butt-sex line.

Everybody's been busy today, it seems. After the orgasm of creativity earlier, we all smoked and napped.Hehehehehehe. he said Dog Butt.Have any of you seen the things people are tying onto dogs tails these days?

I'm about to leave work and try to score some SXSW tail, so we'll see. I'll prolly just stumble home and crash out, but if I can walk the line between buzzed and hammered, I just might pound out another (longer) chapter.
I'm out. Wish me luck, guys. -
Good luck. May the many blessings of McQueen guide you on your quest for pudenda.

Here we are, finally PBing at the same time today. So... how was your day?
-
tie anything to your dogs' tails, would you?
-
High 60s, sunny, kids running around yelling and screaming. Still waiting for a few more days to burn off the left-over winter gunk, though.
-
Another two dozen hour day ahead of me and I regret the need to recieve my standare amount of sleep. Vader, good to see you in the TB again. Mac, talk to you later. Subs, you still have awesome sneakers. Everyone else, a non-essential "see ya."
-
No, I wouldn't. I would just hand them the bacon. My dogs are civilized. And even if a dog is uncivilized, it does not give us permission to tie things to their tails, no matter how entertaining one may find such a sick act.
-
That last one was so good but it was not nearly enough given my lifestyle. So, this weekend, brisket 2.0.
-
Their tails always got clipped.
-
Is that really a 4+ hour slog?
-
And like certain aspects of high school, they are foggy memories now. I do recall it taking 3 days to get through though.
-
4 hours!I suppose I could treat it like a mini-series and break it into a two-parter.
-
Youse have a good night, ya hear? Dream of Reubens, McQueen and dogs with unencumbered tails-- I know I'll be thinking of those things...

High school was foggy to me when I was in high school.
by subtitles_off
I hated high school. All the movies that romanticize teen-aged years just seem like rosey-colored bullsh! to me.
-
We'll BAMF! in the morning, so follow the crumbs.

I'm not a Goonies "hater," but I'm so glad I'm not the only one who remembers only an hour and a half of unlikable kids screaming. In other news, Hot Topic now carries Goonies wear. Make of that what you will.

Yackers, pick one.
