not unchecked. just...unencumbered for a bit. just enough time to get some stuff done to even out the playing field after 6 years of the other side calling the shots and the last 2 years of nothing getting done. after a bit things will be deadlocked again. it's how the system works. :)
getting back on topic, Norm Coleman needs to SHUT UP AND TAKE IT LIKE A MAN. you lost, buddy. go home.
I've been bummed all week about you leaving the videogum...which says a lot about you and this board. i've never been emotionally attached to a board. emotions 2.0, i guess. anyway...thanks for starting this up and best of luck. keep on Lindsaying on. :)
thanks for the report. i'm not going to touch the self-realization stuff...but i was one of those people that got offered tickets via twitter. the actual tweet said "free show in NYC" and being as i will be going there next month, i was like "awesome!". of course, 10 minutes later he added that the show would be the next day (and being as i live in Kansas meant i was immediately unable to attend)...but since i hadn't heard anything i figured i missed the window.
so yesterday i got the invite...called the 3 people i know (like...in real life) who live in NYC to see if they can use them...and no one could. i thought about trying to alert the Videogum posters to these tickets i had going to waste...but i didn't want to threadjack Lindsay or Gabe, so ultimately i wrote them back and told them to send it to whoever was next on the list. the whole thing was kinda sad and bummed me out for the rest of the day.
anyway...thanks for the report. even if it was bittersweet. i saw Louis the last time he came through here and he did 2 hours of new stuff...all of it great. so funny. so dark (clearly he enjoys getting people to laugh at horrible things which is awesome because you can't help it). I concur...he's the best out there right now. followed closely by Patton.
maybe it's about a boy who loses his mind...he's delusional and thinks he's in a terrible kid-oriented adventure featuring Eugene Levy? i'd give that 5 doves...
actually...that would be awesome.
Mr. Show, the Simpsons, MST3K (sort of). videogum is channeling my DVD shelf. i do like like Rifftrax (not as much as Cinematic Titanic), but unless the movie is straight up old timey B-grade magic, you should probably watch the movie without commentary the first time. i'm waiting to see The Room in NYC in July. super excited.
Mr. Show was the best... i don't know if they could do the same sort of thing justice a second time around, though lightning in a bottle and all that. BUT...at this point those guys should have as many shows as they want. they've earned it.
I used the phrase "Taint Misbehavin'" earlier today, actually. :)
i was going to make a joke about Bernard Kerik (really!?) getting his SAG card (clearly what he's been angling for the entire time)...but i supposed people on reality shows aren't TECHNICALLY actors...even though they're mostly acting all the time...and therefore can't be a SAG member. my intensive 3 minute google search backs this up.
Linday...these touching recaps of Obsessed are throwing me off. WHERE IS THE SARCASM??? WHAT SITE AM I ON??? WE'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER KLEENEX BOX!!!
these Obsessed write-ups are weirdly becoming one of my favorite weekly bits on here.
i like how there are girls just chatting in the kitchen while this asshat-ery goes on in the living room. the girls are not even phased by it they're so used to those tools acting up.
i had to watch the clip a couple of times because i thought the dog owner was saying that the dog was smiling at her trying to make her "feel reassured" about being stoned. which would have put an entirely different spin on this story. too many meetings this morning...
i don't feel like reading everything that's been written thus far, so if this has been mentioned i second the previous commenters statement:
In Larry Charles I trust. I'm sure there's more to this movie than what everyone is expecting...
i've never watched more than a handful of Real World episodes...but if this turns into "Dunken Sexfest with Political Talking Points" i will watch every episdoe. it could be the funniest show of all time.
"EPISODE 2: a drunken argument about Roe v. Wade results in a late night hook-up!"
as someone who owns Transmorphers, i cannot wait for this to wrap up some of the lingering questions.
also check out the fantastic Aliens VS. Hunter...released a week before Aliens VS. Predators. filmed entirely in a basement, from what i can tell.
