The great thing about this is that here, in New York (and probably other places) you still see grown men, often in suits, riding these scooters. Just valiantly plugging along, like it is a thing people should do.
HEY HEY HEY
DID YOU SEE MY BROTHER
DIDJA
This is actually a serious question, because he's in it- he's in the orchestra, and apparently the first shot of Carrie was supposed to pan from him playing to her. I'm wondering if I should buy a bootleg DVD (just kidding!) of it so we can watch his part. Did the camera ever get close up on a brown-haired cellist at the Gay Wedding, before Liza?
Yeah, on the Ghostbusters DVD there's a thing where this auto shop repairs the original GHOSTBUSTERS car, and Dan Aykroyd comes in and checks it out and basically talks about how seeing the car again reminded him of all of those times they BUSTED GHOSTS IN THE CAR. I'm not sure if he was joking or in character, and you could tell that all of the auto shop guys are freaked out as hell, but he's basically like, YOU KNOW, DRIVIN' AROUND...WITH THE GUYS.....EGON....WE DID A LOT OF GOOD IN THIS CAR. WE BUSTED A LOT OF GHOSTS.
I think the larger question is whether the Academy would have awarded a version of James Cameron that had a vagina and working ovaries, but did not have breasts.
BIGGGGG
QUESTIONSSSS
I think that editorial meetings at ESQUIRE are just a bunch of guys sitting around a conference table, staring at last months issue.
"Gentlemen," they ask, "how can we make it SHITTIER?"
"Last months issue included an article entitled 'THE ONLY CANDY A MAN SHOULD EAT'*. It was, without a doubt, our shittiest issue ever. How can we make our monthly dose of masculine anxiety even worse?"
The answer, as it always is, was James Franco.
*trueeeee factssssss
I like how he knows that he can't just be like, "Look, we are making a lot of money on this. I clearly understand that it is creepy, exploitative and awful, but we had a family meeting and decided that we love being paid $200,000."
Haha the best part is that it went on for TWO HOURS. I'm just imagining the people at the cable company getting outraged phone calls and being like, WE'LL LOOK INTO IT, BRAH and then making the PSHHH face at eachother.
I guess I was the only person on earth to dislike KNOCKED UP for this same sort of reason; i.e. where everyone else saw a comical and touching take on becoming an adult I saw a public service announcement about killing your dreams, featuring two horror people and their Moonchild spawn. I'm starting to think that maybe the glasses I wear every day are the "indoors" model of those sunglasses from THEY LIVE.
The worst thing about EAT PRAY LOVE (maybe? not really) is that OF COURSE there's a "mens parody version" out now, called DRINK PLAY FUCK (haaaaaa) and of COURSE they're going to make a "Judd Apatow-style" film out of it.
This is why I get "rage spirals"
Who knows, you know? Who knows anymore? I am going to question the editorial policy of Duh Aficionado, because I now live in a world where hilariously terrible things happen ALL THE TIME. Is a Tommy Wiseau-directed Twilight movie really that much more unbelievable than a U2-penned rock musical about Spiderman called "Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark"? At least ONE OF THOSE THINGS is actually occurring.
I'm going to have to beg off from participating in the great Hulu Marriage Ref hate-off because every time I hear about The Marriage Ref or even hear the name spoken, my brain ceases all higher-level function in favor of exclaiming, "JESUS CHRIST IS THAT STILL ON THE AIR" and frankly it's starting to feel a little unhealthy.
Hey, southernbitch! I just wanted to thank you, both for the work that you do, and for your presence in this thread as someone who has directly engaged with these issues maybe more than the rest of us.
Don't worry about it- it turns out I get the most upvotes when I tell people about my brother's wacky adventures.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET ON HERE AND POST, JOHN.
I GUESS YOU WIN AGAIN, JOHN.
