Hey, it just occurred to me that I never posted here on how much I really enjoyed the last Deadpan Ep.
Kudos. That one was really spot-on !
Top 50 Best Fictional bands:

Billy and the Boingers is #30! Woo Hoo!
*hack*
Mint Chocolate Chip
Billy and the Boingers! That’s a pretty great list.
Goodnight :mucky pup:
And, naturally, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.
Though, most of that list would better be called “random movies we could think of while drinking at the bar that had bands in them so we could produce an easy story.”
Well just ordered the first two books in the Scott Pilgrim series, they will arrive hopefully after I’ve seen the movie, and thus prevent any Blaerunner flashbacks.

Crap joke sent to me by my supervisor:
With the astounding success of the movie the expendables, the director got arnie bruce + sly 2getha + said “wud like 2 do a action flick based on composers, + u can choose who u wud like 2 be”. Sly said he wud like 2 play mozart. Bruce said he wud like 2 play chopin. Arnie replied… I guess i be bach!
Kinda funny!
Good quality promo photos for 2001:

My coworker is listening to Billy Joel. I may have to off myself.
Car was totalled in what was maybe a 10mph crash. Of our $2000 down we will get maybe $650 back.
Grrrr.
Rhett, maybe you should tell her about it.
JB, that sucks, man. I hope you’re able to get the family and yourself where you need to go these days?
“Him” actually, but point taken. LOL
JB: That does suck hard.
Rhett – I think its a matter of trust.
Look I’m innocent man.
you could be listening for the longest time.
Dammit JB. Sorry to hear that. Chin up, m’boy.
Wo oh oh, for the longest time. *make it stop!*
Draft us a floorplan, you’re the architect.
Draw us a plan tonight.
That sucks balls JB.
Some people have too much talent and determination:

^Cool!

JB I agree that sucks balls
V.v.V
reaper: That’s still pretty damn funny
JB – I’m sorry to hear such news.
Rhett….. it could be worse – a friend of yours could have posted a picture of you on facebook WEARING a Billy Joel shirt then tagged you in it….
with a really bad haircut
feathered.
http://ow.ly/2ubp9
I rest my case.
And yes… that is a picture of me.
Circa 1990
And that guy there with me…. Yeah, I married him 3 years later.
So, bad picture of me with my ex-husband…
and my Billy Joel t-shirt
*sigh*
The amount of how much I dislike that picture ………….
I think that just goes to show that no good can come from anything Billy Joel related.
AND you were in front of coin-op video games. All you needed was one sparkly glove and boombox on your shoulder, blasting a Hall & Oates cassette tape.
And maybe a Cabbage Patch Doll wearing a Devo hat.
Has there EVER been a good wrestling arcade game?
I don’t think so.
What’s with all the hate on Billy Joel?
BJ…
OK… I guess that sort of made me figure it out
Seriously.
I mean, a bottle of red. A bottle of white.
Billy Joel starts sounding right.
What’s wrong with BJs?

Narcissistic moment: This Billy Joel mockery is somewhat reminiscent of “The Unsolvable Deathtrap”.
Fuck. Why do I do this to myself?
http://www.weirdworm.com/the-4-most-bizarrely-difficult-languages-to-learn/
Yes, I’ve been learning Japanese for quite some time. I refuse to give up at this point.
Ah the large format Interzones..those were the days.
Sorry Lejon,
Billy is one of those artist I liked a little back in the day, but not so much now.
Rhettro: I agree.
I don’t mind listening to old stuff on occasion, but I’d much prefer listening to new music.
CP: Give A Little Bit – Supertramp

You ain’t seen me right ?
Let’s see, in college one semester when I was feeling particularly brutal on myself I took German, Russian, French, and attempted to get into a conversational Japanese class (didn’t succeed, though).
I dropped the French class when the teacher showed up one morning and tested us over stuff she hadn’t assigned. Her forgetting she taught French and speaking Spanish one day also didn’t help.
I flat-out failed Russian. Not so much because it was so difficult, but I didn’t put in the work. You really have to memorize your word endings (cases). I would have dropped, but the teacher didn’t become a blazing Bolshevik until after I couldn’t get my money back for the course.
I passed German with a B.
I’ll make this addition to the above: I learned more English taking foreign language courses (even the ones I failed) than I ever learned taking English.
-vocabulary accepted, of course.
CP: Promise Me – Beverly Craven
I took one semester of Russian and got a D. I spent more time with my girlfriend than my studies at the time.
CP: Kiss with a Fist – Florence + the Machine
Okay this is driving me mad, maybe a one hit wonder from the late 90′s early 2000, looking for the singer.
She was American, blonde, and the video of her ‘hit’ was her fighting a larger bloke in a sumo ring, and it ends with her knocking him out of the ring with her backside.
Or maybe it was all a dream…
So, will Captain Jack get us high tonight?
Van: Doesn’t ring a bell.
I’ll have to see if there is any life left in my Creative Zen mp3 player, I’m sure the album is on there..but the HD was failing the last time I used the bloody thing.
There is a scene simular to the one you describe on Duran Duran’s “Girls on Film” video from 1984.
Maybe they ripped of the DD video Rhettro, but this was much later.
Could be a parody of the DD video.
Hmm, I can picture what you’re talking about, but I may be thinking of the Duran Duran video as well.
“Girls on Film”
I luv Billy Joel because my girl do.
Got my Rolling Stone today. Oh my . . .

… and yet more
girls on film
So tonight I decided to choose between “Hot tub time machine” and “Hot Fuzz” …
I picked the time machine movie.
I believe I chose poorly.
If someone plays Loverboy’s “Hot Girls in Love”, I’m leaving.
I enjoyed the silliness of Hot Tub Time Machine… however…
Tonight – I saw Scott Pilgim and ZOMIGOODMOVIES!!!
Loved every second…
LOVED. IT!
Wow. Whoever wrote the blurb about the Rolling Stone cover needs some help. That’s as bad as demoncat.
I took a few -weeks- of German before getting kicked out of high school. Like Lejon, I learned more about English than at any other point in my life. I really wish I’d taken a foreign language years earlier.
Like, say, in second grade.
Wow. That may be the most poorly written article I’ve ever seen.
Good night :editor:
Morning Pan, I knew from my experience at trying to learn french at school that when it comes to learning new languages my brain is as malleable as block of fossilised wood.
I’ve read that SP movie is doing poorly in the US, I will be doing my bit for world wide revenue for that movie tomorrow.

An RPG when you don’t have time to play RPGs..watch out for the geometry.
it’s dark.
that article was painful to read.
“Additional stars have found almost everything on the cover of Christina Aguilera…”
What did the stars find? With “almost everything” does that mean they didn’t find a kitchen sink?
What’s more, I could have written the same article in 3 sentences:
True Blood stars appear nude on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine. This has been done before. Many time before.
I was more “oh my”ing the picture. I didn’t even read the article.
Anna Paquin.
It’s all about the marketing,baby!
Rolling Stones wants to cash in on the franchise … and I suspect the franchise is trying to “re-brand” itself as “all growed up!” in the hopes of increasing their audience.
I’m still not buying though.
Not buys RS? or True Blood?
I’m a huge fan of the Sookie books. I can’t explain why, because I’m not a romancey type. But I love em.
The TV show is something else, and I’m also a big fan of it.
I also subscribe to RS, but will probably let that lapse this go-round. I find myself totally uninterested in 99% of it.
re: Hot Tub Time machine.
The humor in that film was too heavily base on “gross-out” jokes for me. That stuff just doesn’t make me laugh and if you took those gags out of the film it would have been much shorter. In fact, now that I mull it over it is like there was two competeing scripts that were going on in that film.
There was the “gross out/ asshole guy keeps creating increasingly awkward moments” film that Rob Corddry was making … and there was the almost sweet, sci-fi comedy that the rest of the cast was making.
Maybe I should have watched “The Hangover” instead. Can anyone compare the two films?
ROTFL !!!!!!
Okay, I just went back and actually PAID ATTENTION to what the Rolling Stone cover SAID.
When I followed the link the other day I was doing three other things at the time and clearly not focusing on it because I THOUGHT they were showing us the TWILIGHT cast. LOL!!!!
Perhaps the vampire genre is suffering from too much exposure right now.
Twilight = boo
Tried to watch an ep of True Blood. Was at a hotel where they had HBO. Either its too far in that I don’t get it, or it’s just not my thing.
I’m leaning towards the latter.
OH, and Paquin and her fellow lead just got married, so that picture on RS just got a bit creepy for me.
Creepier, that is.
CP: Gold Lion — Yeah Yeah Yeahs
I dunno, I think the picture is pretty hot.
The Misses and I are big fans of True Blood. Although we don’t subscribe to HBO, so we have to wait for the DVD’s. I’ve never been a big vampire fan, as the genre itself has been overplayed through-out history. But True Blood is a fresh take on the nature of vampires and their place in society.
Crap. One of my favorite anime directors, Satoshi Kon, passed away at 47.
http://www.boingboing.net/2010/08/25/rip-satoshi-kon.html
47! Wow, how sad.
Haven’t read the books but I’m a fan of the True Blood series, just like the vibe it gives to the depiction of Vampires.
Especially the scenes during which Van closes his eyes.
If you are fan of shootthemups, you may want to pony up as a couple of corkers get released tonight:

CP: Jurassic Park — Weird Al
Just watched the following movie. Holy crap is it spine tingling. I know it was fake but still it was well enough filmed to have that creepy real feeling.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1179904/
Who the hell greenlighted Stallone as Judge Dredd anyway?
Bunny, Coathalia and I saw that in the theater. I figured it would really work best in your own home, even better right before bedtime.
Or curled up in a dark living room with a kitty on your lap.
I gave that one a miss at the cinema.
I thought Judge Dredd was OK, but I had no background to compare against.
Demolition Man was much better, though.
Quiet days gives me the jeepers.
It’s been very quiet for a Wednesday, anyway, ZP directs his ire at the latest Transformers game:
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1951-Transformers-War-for-Cybertron
I am considering “The 5th Element” for tonight.
Somehow, I’ve never seen it.
Demolition Man is one of my favorite movies to re-watch.
I can’t believe I don’t own that one.
C: Grilling pork chops and hangin’ with my girls.
Joe, how can you not have seen “The 5th Element”????
Do correct this at once!
Justa j0e – O.O
You are in for a treat. A ridiculous, colorful, over-the-top treat.
I have also never seen The 5th Element.
Oh and BTW
Jeepers
Creepers
Where’d ya get those Peepers?
I expect Jack to entertain us with this at the next PanConThing
http://pictureisunrelated.com/2010/08/23/wtf-photos-videos-overkill-9000-mandolin-madness/
Demolition Man is a pretty fun flick.
The Fifth Element was the only movie I ever fell asleep watching in the theater.
Fifth Element is simply wonderful. Id watch Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman take a dump on screen for 2 hours, and a film with both of them gets my standing ovation. Also its a fucking great popcorn film. I own 2 copies.
You know what a great film is? “Chocolate”. That shit is tight.
re: “Chocolate”
Lo Pan speaks great truth.
Ended up watching “Hot Fuzz” tonight.
Sort of “dark humor”. Rather enjoyable actually.
No where near as good as “Inception” but a TON better than “Hot Tub Time Machine”.
HF was somewhere in the middle.
I shall save “Fifth Element” for another night.
OMFG I love Hot Fuzz. Graphic violence mixed with Pegg’s writing and humor. Fantastic!!!!!!!! And loves me some Dalton in that. I own 2 copies.
Oh I dont think yous can compare HF and Inception. One is a wonderful fun film and the other is fucking art.
Also, Hot Tub Time Machine was indeed a pile of steaming shit.
I cant believe I just saw Chocolate for the first time tonite. Im going to own 2 copies.
Why stop at 2?
I’m surprised y’all liked Blood and Chocolate so much.
Im surprised you…you…you…. oh I aint got shit.
I love Marina. I love her Diamonds almost as much.
Palooza is almost ready.
Chocolate the Johnny Depp Juliette Binoche movie??
This is not a test.
When I added Chocolate to my Netflix Instant Playlist, it suggested that I might also like Chai Lai Angels… billed as “a Thai spoof of Charlies Angels”. Sounds like the kind of thing that could be really good or really bad.
