Hey, congrats to all ballin' monsters.
I'm actually heading to New York City (if it still exists) for a few weeks in September. Do any NYC monsters have any recommendations of things to see? Comedy clubs? Restaurants?
Um, how is it that the best part of the entire story hasn't been mentioned? Depardieu's friend handed him a 'miniature Evian bottle' when it became obvious he was going to pee. But it was too small and it overflowed, so that's when he peed in the aisle.
Gay for Gosling.
I am serious about this. He's the only dude I've ever looked at and thought 'I would actually like to kiss him'. Just to see what would happen.
Gabe's right. Every single one of us is a sociopathic criminal.
But just like Wilde wrote his greatest poem in prison, our criminality has gifted the world some important treasures. Need I remind everyone of RAED and Bangs?
Papa Smurf came to power on the back of his natural charisma and his book 'Mein Smurf'. His decision to invade Poland in 1939, plunged the world into 6 years of vicious war. Eventually, broken and still full of hate, he married the love of his life, Smurfette Braun, in a Berlin bunker before taking his own smurf.
When I was at law school (ladies), the school used to organise a graduate employment guide. My friends decided to do a joke guide as an issue of the law studnets' magazine.
Ordinarily, the employment guide featured ads from prominent law firms and one of these ads featured a guy whispering into the ear of a laughing woman saying 'psssst, I heard a graduate placement at XXXXX is a great way to start your career'.
These dudes photoshopped the ad so that it said 'pssssst, I heard you got spit-roasted at the Christmas party'. It got through and all hell broke lose when it emerged that the woman in the ad was actually a lawyer. And a prominent one with a keen interest in defamation.
It was funny though.
I really like the Ball (standing on the outside, looking in like the shivering leaf of a commenting waif I am).
Just to give my 2 cents (2 cents Australian = approx 2.4 cents US), I think Capu was correct to say that the same comments seem to be trotted out a bit on comments pages. I'm thinking things like Spiderman pie, Danny Devito Pic, 'she's pretty' (no disrespect to Winwood) and a few others. They're funny, definitely, but they kind of become lazy and they still get heaps of upvotes.
Maybe it's just my own issue but I find catchlines lazy comedy. That's why I fucking hated everything about Little Britain after Season One.
In-jokes are great (and an inevitable part of any community) but I wish the comments threads would keep a lid on it.
Beyond that everything's dope-rad in Videogum town. It's ruined my life (in the real world) but I'm really glad I found this corner of the internet.
True story: I haven't seen this film.
Other true story: when I was in high school in Sydney, my friend told me there was a girl studying drama at his school who was so mind-blowingly gorgeous it would give me brain damage to see her. We went along to see her in a play and my mind was suitably blown. Her name was Rose Byrne and I'm still amazed.
