babelfish--goddamn yes! great monsters who begin with 'i' think alike.
how about a spin-off for Pugsly Addams and Donkey-Gums McGee as white house party-crashers who run a Bangkok child brothel on the side while helming American Apparel? it'll be called either NEPOTISM or GAY BLINDNESS.
A-fucking-MEN, brother bear. i dvr'd that ep., cut out all BUT the office scenes, and got a sweet 19-minute-long MAD MEN finalé!
i looked at the examples, and it looks more like MM used monotype grotesque than arial, for what it's worth. but weiner says some weird shit about his characters, that's for sure.
"Roger, this is a philanthropic organization. Don and I think it best if we approach from the rear."
yes-- i think of these painfully unfunny situations as 'irritainment'-- someone somewhere thinks of them as comedic or suspenseful, while i just cringe and hit FF to get past the predictable shitstorm outcome.
this is true-- also-- the only gilly skit i ever found funny was the one with drew barrymore as the italian gilly-- but any episode hosted by certain people like her, hamm, or baldwin will be good because either the writers love them or they're just that good.
if i must-- EXPLAIN! (please)
my first memories of simpsons marketing were of bart shilling for church's chicken. then and there i decided to never buy any licensed simpsons stuff, and receive as little as possible (family knows i watch the show)-- but then i relented a bit once i discovered ebay. so, impure as i am, i still would like to see more responsible marketing/tie-ins. really, the things about the banksy bit were: 1. it was only a more extreme version of the korean-care-worn-animator bits they--and others-- have done in the past, and... 2. his name appeared not once, but twice, as graffiti in the beginning of the sequence-- i know 2 seems like a small number, but in a highly concentrated format like a title sequence, that's pretty much a hammer to the forehead-- the second 'banksy' made me roll my eyes, "ugh, i get it!"
"(Other ways they kept it back then: racist, drunk, slim-fitting.)" = best MM summary. "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose"-- except for the slim part
julia stiles oh-so-thoughtfully reassured jon stewart that it was ::not:: a "feminazi" movie during her interview on the daily show. thanks, jules! avoiding you forever starting now!
T.R. quote from wikiPEDia: "At first, I'd just want to do a few nude shots, so I'd take off my clothes, too … I'd even give the camera to the model and get her to shoot me for a while. It's about creating a vibe, getting people relaxed and excited. When that happens you can do anything. I don't think I'm a sex addict, but I do have issues. Maybe it's the psychological thing that I was a shy kid, and now I'm this powerful guy with his boner, dominating all these girls". had a photog. instructor try this same shit on me in college-- only he was stupid enough to inform me ahead of time that there would be nudity, and that i could shoot him. no thanks, creep, and no, that's NOT an equal exchange.
thanks for highlighting "the family." these are the REAL homegrown american terrorists. NO FUCKING BULLSHIT.
yup. old-school sex-ball was: 1st = french 2nd = fondle (over the bra) 3rd = finger home = fuck -- the 4Fs, if you will, and, unfortunately geared toward only female recipients, but a finger is part of the hand, so ... whither the oral? i say home; that's right, it's Real Sex.
좌회전 후, 복도를 이동합니다.
thanks for the recaplet. kept coming back here to decompress (here, this recording, basket of kisses, imdb, but you get the idea) and ended up with only tangential entries. you summed it up nicely.
(I also like rape jokes and 9/11 jokes sometimes, even though I hate rape and 9/11 always. But now I am getting into the "explaining and defending" territory that I wanted to avoid.) --gabe i can't fathom liking rape jokes, so i have to ask, what jokes and why? i guess if i agreed with you, the "why" would be self-evident, but the "what" isn't going anywhere.
indeed. i thought he was about to ram don's nose bridge up into his brain; hence the ref. to kills in okinawa.
Angry Don Draper mmm-- yes! much sexier! of course, EVERYTHING is sexier than napalm death/kiddie porn, so...
@that One: one--of--us... not only do we have friends, but we would try to out-do each other. i once bonded with a friend who had moved to new orleans by competitively collecting jesus/last-supper kitsch.
ugh! see what sticks-- out of practice... [IMG]http://i35.tinypic.com/51sbva.jpg[/IMG] http://tinypic.com/m/beu2ol/3 http://i35.tinypic.com/51sbva.jpg
that book, however, like many a tale used in the twilight zone, bends toward the sinister and offers *not* a sappy, mushy ending. rather, like the clichés of horror/fantasy writing, the "island" is always "hell." my first memory of this trope comes from here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077382/ in which a pleasure cruise is not so pleasurable; for more of these, see http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IronicHell.
doug benson called that brad pitt"s "triple-death-lutz."
the ultimate comment. none higher.
oohh yesss... there was no barf bag big enough-- and it was a 5+ hour-long barf-a-thon!
"bought the film rights to Stephen Kings Dark Tower books for $19." that's quite a bargain.
@DuckDuck-- sure. animal heaven. at least there would be likable characters there.
this video was so incredibly damn funny to me because i have been decompressing online from the all-too-predictable goddidit finalé of lost, and i have robbed myself of sleep once again. i really do hope that laughter is the best medicine, because i was having trouble breathing. after nearly choking on my own laughter-tears, i read his comment on youtube: "orangeshock88 1 month ago is that malcolm Mcdowell after ecaping a buring building then getting hit buy a manure truck. " [sic] i would have to say close-- but more like adam west (after hanging out with seth macfarlane), getting their faces set on fire, then put out with a backhoe (apologies to tim thomerson for many, many years of stealing this line--but no apologies for wishing it upon seth macf.)
"...ahnahl nathrach uthvas bethud dochiel dienveigh..." thus morgana spake the charm of making unto its horrifying conclusion.
how can the statue be taweret with a man's torso and legs? -- and i mean MAN'S, not just human's. my egyptology is rusty, but i can tell the difference between gods and goddesses; also has there even been an official darlton naming of the statue?
i had the same question re. the plot-hole of appeasement -- as someone who actually has had a very minor, brief-but-scary bout of temporary blindness, i was anticipating a better story. the allegory was lost on me, especially since the moore character had the power to resist all along, what with her having sight...(maybe the nobel should have gone to frank l. baum) if i was supposed to learn to hate julianne moore, mission accomplished. feh.
BEATING ME AT CHESS WON'T BRING BACK YOUR GODDAMN HONEY!
never play scrabble with a rogue dictionary! ("sox," indeed.)
this reminds me of my thought process whiile watching ancient reruns of candid camera as a kid; why didn't i ever get to see someone throttle fannie flagg or alan funt? of course, it was explained to me that they would never show that, but i still wonder why my retaliatory, cathartic sadism is any less marketable than the sadism of the original prank? decades later the jenny jones show controversy would happen, and be treated as a shocking surprise. my guess is that the prankee needs a sufficient payoff in order to not go postal, but in the event he/she does, the sponsors of the nightlly news are happy, so the network wins either way.
