I wouldn't expect you to be aware. Too busy focused on what you think you know.

Ironic.

Minneapolis is getting light rail. The tracks run right through downtown. I predict disaster. Drivers around here are generally barely competent.

1) I like the fact that despite the headline, it appears that three people were injured, not just one.

2) On further reflection, I think this difference actually says it all -- only the people in the car count. The other two injured people were in the train.

Good God man, how could he fit a hat over that 'fro?! Must've been like a size 10 hat or something. I always wondered the same thing about Billy Sims and his football helmet. Of course, the helmet has more strength to compress the afro, so I would think that would be easier, albeit uncomfortable.

Oh my GOD will you please shut the fuck up.

Get a sense of humor and move on. Not everything in life is a dig at you and your admittedly incredible lack of knowledge about life.

What kind of wacko are you, living vicariously by other people's flames, sitting by the sidelines, just egging on the bloodsport?

if it helps, I agree with you wholeheartedly about Forrest Hump.

Hanks was amazing in Philadelphia and that shipwreck movie with the ball.

Not only was that Forrest performance a mailed-in carboard job, but that friggin pablum movie beat out LA Confidential for Best Picture

edited to add that RT kindly reminded me it was not that friggin pablum movie Hump that beat out LA Confidential, but rather that friggin pablum movie Titanic

You were talking to Coltrane, right?

Then you were wrong.

Huh. I thought "Philadelphia" sucked and was a classic example of an Issue Oscar.

Plus, it had the effect of making me think of Jason Robards every time I hear the words "hot yogurt." Which, thankfully, is not often.

This reminds me of that scene in When Harry Met Sally where their two irritating friends (Bruno Kirby and Carrie Fisher), after taking simultaneous calls from the title characters after the pity fuck, turn to each other and say "I'm so glad I'm not out there."

Speaking of Bruno Kirby, one of my favorite movie lines, and bear in mind that I don't remember many, was in City Slickers, where Billy Crystal and Helen Slater say hello to each other at dinner one night, and Bruno gives Billy a what's- going-on look, and Billy says something like "we just said hello," and Bruno says, "Hello? That wasn't hello. That was 'I like your ass. Can I wear it as a hat?'"

Highbrow indeed.

Not all of it sucked. I liked his hair.

I would accuse you of breaking the board (since it's been, like, an hour now - much like I was accused a while ago) but I think we all know what happened now don't we?

Everyone is on Google, looking for pix of Mel's Hamlet hair?

C'mon back guys.

What was I thinking?

Things I learned from William Shakespeare's entry on IMDB:

1. An astonishing number of movies based on his plays fail to credit him at all, which seems kinda ballsy.
2. He is currently unrepresented, but someone is tracking his PR.
3. There was a Maori production of The Merchant of Venice, which must have been very confusing to the anti-semitism angle.
4. There is a Nina Hartley film called "A Midsummer Night's Cream." WS received a bona fide writing credit. Less will have to fill us in on whether there were any groaner puns on his name.

Wow
 

Good god. Apparently, there was even a 2003 remake of this film with Sydney Steele

"What Horny Fools These Mortals Be! You've never seen Shakespeare like this! In the wildest-ever adaptation of Wlliam Shakespeare's epic tale, a love charm turns an enchanted forest into a sensual fantasy you won't believe! From mistaken identities to mistaken mountings, it's all here! With elaborate costumes, exotic settings, amazing special effects, and scorching sex, this Shakespearean interpretation is destined to be a carnal classic!"

better line.......
Jack Palance's charecter tells Billy crystal's character" I shit biggar'n you" (or crap, can't remember).
Does this mean Jack has BMs that are bigger than billy's BMs, or does it mean that Jack's BMs are bigger than Billy's body(obvious puffery, but still a great insult).

New Pork Advisory Board findings: Pork is delicious!
 

A survey by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery says America needs more plastic surgery. In other evidence that the survey is total bullshit, it found that men were more likely than women to take suggestions about plastic surgery as an insult, and that women were more likely than men to take suggestions as gestures of love.

Maybe these survey respondents were disproportionately likely to need plastic surgery after beating the shit out of each other in fights worthy of a "Cops: Too Hot for TV" compilation.

here's my bitch. We, or really scientists, keep spending time on global warming or erectile dyfunction, when plastic surgery isn't near perfect.
The recovery time from any face work is a week or so. It needs to be much shorter, like hours.
i would like to be able to tell my wife, "you know with that dress, it would be nice if your earlobes were a little longer", and she could do it, and recuperate, and still not miss appetizers.
Or if I'm wearing a double breasted to am important meeting, maybe I would like my nose made wider, just for the day. Why isn't anyone on this?

Wow
 

What? You mean there's dialog in that movie? Hmm. (I was going to say story line, but that would have been pushing it.)
Suffice it to say, I'm sure there's not a lot of research that takes place before someone comes up with a title. There's no table discussion of "I wonder if anyone has used Forrest Hump, or Bitches of Eastwick, Blair Bitch Project already?"

Wow
 

A quick online search indicates the answers are, as you might expect, Yes, Yes and Yes...

Hollywood scandal brewing
 

Matt Drudge has leaked word about one of the juicier tidbits found in Joe Esterhazs' new book.

http://www.drudgereport.com/mattha.htm

Paramount Pictures Chairman Sherry Lansing's husband, Billy Friedkin, is a "director." To get her husband the directing job on repulsive-piece-of-dog-crap "Jade," and to minimize the appearance of nepotism, she asked Esterhazs to insist on Friedkin, which he agreed to do as a favor. When Esterhazs saw the finished product, he went nuts and demanded his name be taken off the picture. To play ball, Sherry Lansing gave Esterhazs what amounted to $4 million in hush money.

Hollywood scandal brewing
 

The guy who wrote "Showgirls" was embarassed by "Jade"? What's next, Woody being embarassed that he's dating his cousin?

I'm curious to see this. If he really followed the Bible, it wouldn't be anti-Semitic. But then again I don't think of Mel as one of the great theologians of our times.

As for the GGs:

Jennifer Garner has a small (for Hollywood) busom and her stylists don't seem to grasp that in choosing dresses. And the ruffledy fufu look doesn't suit her well either.

Renee Z looks good with some meat on her bones but that dress was for the lollipop Renee. Not good. She should have worn a dress that was made for curves.

I liked Brittany Murphy's dress but think it needed someone with a little more innate elegance to pull it off.

Why was Fergie a presenter? That made no sense to me. And she looked haggard.

Uma looked great. Loved the dress but wish she'd gone with a more elegant 'do.

Mary Louise Parker showed what kind of boobs a woman needs to wear a deep decolletage. Most (nonimplanted) actresses end up looking like they have boy chests -- she hit a grand slam in hers.

Peter Jackson needs a haircut and new glasses.

Al Pacino needs a haircut and a new attitude.

Nicole Kidman: a rare fashion flop. Hated hated hated the dress. Mystified by the hair and head band.

Sofia Coppola either needs a haircut or needed a blow out. Too straggledy. And, as mentioned, the shoes were all wrong.

Cate Blanchett was the best looking pregnant woman in many awards shows. I love that she didn't do the black dress thing.

Michael Douglas and CZ-J are pod people.

Golden Globes Fashion Review
 

She would be more tolerable if she didn't come across absolutely coked out every time she appears in public.

Do the Patriots cheat? I haven't watched enough games this year to comment, but I will be paying attention on Sunday.

Golden Globes Fashion Review
 

I hate award shows, mostly because I loathe celebrity acceptance speeches with every fiber of my being, but it was on in the background, so I had to watch and/or listen to some of it.

Cate Blanchett always looks great.

My personal vision of hell is populated only by Sarah Jessica Parker and to be sure that it's hell and not just heck, they'll set it up so she WON'T EVER SHUT UP!

CZ-J may be pod people, but she'll have a place on my laminated list at least until she's 55. Get more, indeed.

Ditto for Jennifer Garner, small bust for Hollywood and bad dress or not.

No designer on earth could have made Peter Jackson look good. He looks like he's lived on Bratwurst and Miller High Life for about ten years. Which of course takes nothing away from his talent.

I will never understand the appeal of Jack Nicholson.

I wanted to vomit when they were giving out an award of some sort, and the nominees were Jack Black, who looked like he was coming off a three week bender, Johnny Depp, who has always creeped me out with facial hair, this being no exception, Jack Nicholson, good god, and I forget who else. It was almost enough to make me wish for the whole (passe, I know) metrosexual thing to hit Hollywood.

That must have been best male something, because Bill Murray was also in the category, won and totally phoned in his acceptance speech. Speaking of Bill, in five years, he's going to go all the way with his current look and wear only peach-colored chiffon robes. He'll wander about scattering birdseed and mumbling incoherently.

Screw Hollywood. End rant, out.

It's been a while
 

Since we have done a test.

Here's a good one. What is your personality?

I, of course, am a shark.


Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types - your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type. You are a Shark which means you are a Seeker / Success Your primary sub-type is defined by "Seeker" characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by "Success" characteristics.

That means you've got a robust love of life and a killer instinct. Chances are you hate rules, and don't plan on getting old. You're flexible and friendly on top of being innovative and smart. In short, people respect you.

How do we know all this? How do we know you're extroverted and love being in the spotlight? Or that your mantra is "work hard, play hard"? How could we have divined that dull parties make you weep?

Because while you were taking the test, you answered four different types of questions — questions that measured confidence, apprehension, willingness to take risks, and your focus on experience versus appearance — the primary traits that determine your personality. Based on your responses, we determined your personality type, Shark.



I think these tests just suck up to you.

Wow
 

I would like to see a cross between this and the Kirsten Dunst teen musical version ("Get Over It") of A Midsummer Night's Dream, particularly if they give Kylie Bax's larger parts a larger part.

Unintentional comedy and porn could be a great mix.
