Fringey's taut-abbed painter

I was probably a little bit out of control and tossed/deleted the whole load (other than the Swedish Eroticas).

How would you describe the feeling once you'd tossed? Release? Relief? Boy I need a cigarette?

So do I. I've sent out the bat signal, and I trust that the current sock influx will abate soon.

I hope the insurgent was not too disappointed.

Hey, man, you don't talk to Thurgreed. You listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet-warrior in the classic sense. I mean sometimes he'll, uh, well, you'll say hello to him, right? And he'll just scroll right by you, and he won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say do you know that if is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you -- I mean I'm no, I can't -- I'm a little man, I'm a little man, he's, he's a great man. I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas -- I mean --

He can be terrible, he can be mean, he can be right. He's fighting the war. He's a great man. I mean... I wish I had words. I can tell you the other day he wanted to kill me because I tried to flame him. He said if I tried to flame him again -I'm gonna kill you. And he meant it! So you just lay it cool, lay back, dig it... He gets friendly again, really does. But you don't judge him like an ordinary man.

The dead new socks. You're looking at the dead new socks. I, uh -- sometimes he goes too far, you know -- he's the first one to admit it!

Hank -

I love the AN as much as the next guy. I watch it once a year. I even like the extended Redux version. And thats why it pains me to tell you that this dialgoue was beaten to death years ago.

Move on.

PS: If you haven't seen Hearts of Darkness, the documentary about the making of AN, check it out. Its really dramatic shit. Coppolla was one self indulgent fuck. There's footage of him pitching a hissy fit over the fact that the wine in the French plantation scene (which wasn't even included in the original cut) was not the type the French in that region at that time would have drunk.

Meanwhile he filmed perhaps one of the worst (meaning least authentic-looking) fight scenes I've ever seen in The Godfather, when Sonny beat up on Carlo. And no, I don't care that that there were actual broken ribs sustained as a result of the scene.

Apparently John Mayer's dream of running through the halls of his high school and screaming at the top of his lungs will have to await another day.

In other John Mayer news, this smarmy asshole's latest song to break on radio, "Daughters," is the most vile, chauvinistic and offensive song ever produced by a non-rap, non-GWAR artist. And yet women will continue to see him as a sensitive goofball type, largely proving his central point. I'm just sayin'.

The two most vile songs of the last decade were Mayer's "Your Body is a Wonderland" and that horrendous piece of shit from Dawson's Creek that goes something like "I Don't Want to Wait For Our lives to Be Over." As to Mayer's crime against humanity, he's just rubbing our noses in it. The man is pretty cagey and has a dark side - he's not the weepy tool he'd have you believe in the lyrics to that song. Its clear he stole the lyrics from the diary of some 15 year old girl and copied her Hallmarky pap remembrance of the glop her boyfriend poured on her in order to steal her virginity. As to that "I Don't Want to Wait" song, the lyrics aren't really what makes it ear poison - its the fucking godawful wail of the singer. There's enough melodrama in the delivery to fill a year of soap operas.

Both songs move me in the same way coffee "moves" me in the morning. Who in the hell is the audience for this crap?

Here's a New year's resolution for the board...

No more unfunny cut and past picture posts like the above. If you want to post a funny picture like a hairless cat or some visual device to enhance a point, fine. But please, no more of these "A/V Club Specials." Nothing is worse than opening a page an finding that 90% of it is pictures which are 90% of the time pretty goddamned dull.

"Hitler... Uncle Fester"? You didn't really think those lines were funny, or that somehow, because you inserted a picture, that lame post would somehow be automatically redeemed, did you?

At least when I post crap, its just text, which takes up minimal space. Quit wasting my fucking screen space.

I've read your stuff, and this statement is clearly a lie.

I can't keep translating the same crap over and over again. So, once again, it's your fault.

I may be new, but I was a long time lurker. I don't remember the quote being used here.

14 year-old girls. I would think that would be obvious.

His point is, whether used here or not, quoting AN is trite by definition. It's like quoting Spinal Tap. Just because you use a moderately more obscure quote than "It goes to 11" or "What's wrong with being sexy?" does not mean it is creative or original. I'm sorry if this seems harsh, but I'm all about the tough love these days.

I guess it's a fine line. A quote has to be somewhat recognized or it's missed, yet it shouldn't be played. Like I once quoted Virginia Wolff to echo a Paigow/Slave fight, and only a few recognized it. How could Virginia Wolff not be a favorite movie of this board? It seems like several of us are living that life.
