Deja Vu?
 

Coltrane: you may now join TM as posters who've made Diet Coke come out of my nose in the past few months. Congrats.

I've got a fever. And the only perscription is . . . more cowbell.

I'd like to take them in reverse order please:

Nissan is the name of the venue Sting/Ms. Lennox are playing.

I'm not a big Sting fan, but you get a free membership in the fan club with buying tickets, which I did back in November for his LA shows this spring, which I then sold at a small profit, thus enabling fans to get tickets without paying scalper prices. I'm doing the same thing with this latest batch of shows.

Ix-nay on the ayaking-kay.
 

New lawyer soap, set in 2030, airs Tuesday on CBS.

SF Chronicle review of Century City. Apparently, the future-tech thing is downplayed quite a bit compared to, say, "Minority Report," but the set design alone is worthwhile in its subtlety --- mid-century modern will be the antiques of choice when you're 64.

Mel sitting in bar with Wife tracks what the Producers do. they tried to do a fucked up play to bomb, and are shocked by how it turns out right?

All season long in the back of my head is "What is Mel Brooks thinking about. Larry will so clearly be a disaster. Why would he take Larry's side against Ben Stiller and against the investors?" but see he was counting on Larry being a disaster. I really didn't see that coming.

It occurred to me in that everything you post is an attempt by you to run every word you use ad nauseum into the ground. But that hardly makes you clever. It really just makes you annoying, private.

Isn't it ironic that one of Thurgreed's posts is the first to be credited for causing Str8 to involuntarily expel liquid. I bet some landed on his keyboard.

Why Curb was clever
 

SPOILER





PP: The storyline of "The Producers" (both the movie and the broadway musical) is that a flailing producer and a meek accountant discover scheme to put on the worst show on Broadway, which will make them rich because they recruit little old ladies to invest lots of money in the show, thus financing the production many times over. If the show is a flop, they'll never have to be paid back, and Max and Leo can pocket the money. The problem is that the plan backfires when their production, "Springtime for Hitler," becomes a comedy sensation.

Thus, when we find out that Mel Brooks has cast Larry David to ensure a flop, and it backfires, it's very very clever.

I thought other posters would have realized that, since you're basically a ticket broker, you're a member of fan clubs for potential arbitrage reasons and not b/c you're a fan. I was wrong.

Do you realize who you are talking to? What you just said went about 30,000 feet over her head. And I'm behind, but I'm pretty sure her response will be, "Whiff."

Wow, so you are like a nonprofit org! Excellent! At what point does the increase go from "small profit" to scalper price? Isnt it anyhthing over the face value of the ticket plus any bullshit "service fee " that ticketmaster or clear channel or whoever lops onto it? WOudlnt the fan be able to avoid paying any profit to middlemen such as yourself if you did not buy up tickets and meke them unavailable in the first place? You are trying to make money on the "you snooze you lose" theory making people have to get up early and often to get the fucking tickets which really is a shitty thing to do. And you dont provide any service so dont pretend that you do it for the fans. The people you do it for, if anyone, are the last miinute people who are probably ambibalent about the show at best.

That's why its clever? I still dont think so. I thought it was sort of a post hoc that wasnt realistic. i was hoping it had to do with the plot of the producers

Deja Vu?
 

How do you think she knows when a phrase has hit its sell-by date? B/c she's the one who has sold way too much of it. It's easy to inform everyone that a phrase is dead when you single-handedly kill it yourself.

Whiff. The whole point of the exercise is to saturate the board with said term so that it becomes really annoying so that nobody uses it anymore). And thats why your scrotal sack is in a twist, bc I am doing this to your only invention. Pretty clever, no?
