there are subtle nuances in every single one of those EXCELSIORS, I'll have you LOL

With each passing movie revealed, I get nervous the next one's gonna be The Human Centipede. The higher we get, the higher go the nerves.

Would watch a version with Napoleon, Kip and Pedro sewn together. In that order.

St. Elsewhere
Roseanne
Newhart
Dallas

what else?

The "it was allllll a dream!" bit wasn't the finale of Dallas, though.

i kinda want to watch the last few seasons of Roseanne.

also remy: Lost, duh.

oy. life on mars (american, kind of...)

xpost

I honestly do think there's a direct link between Roseanne's plastic surgery and the beginning of the show's decline. They're almost shockingly concurrent. It devolved very quickly into Roseanne's Snipey, Call-And-Response, Boilerplate Sitcom Jokey-Joke Time right after her face lost the ability to form anything but vaguely disgusted expressions.

I never saw the last few Roseanne series' but that's one hell of an ending.

I think so, anyway..

i just think "oh remember Hardees?" "oh they're called carl's junior here!" "have you ever had a hoagie?" "hoagie? its called a grinder!" "my cousin worked at burger king one summer!" "one time i puked at burger king!" is the usually the dumbest most boring shit ever and it happens to good threads

hardees were a totally diff restaurant until they were bought by carls jr in the mid 90s, ive never eaten at hardees and I made up the part abt the mid 90s, but its true they used to be dif, iirc, I def ate at carls jr a couple times, also the girls in front of me on the airport shuttle from lax last week were commenting on every west coast specific fast food place like we dont have that in Tennessee I heard Carlls. jr is good, little did they know its the same as hardees, they were prob too young to remember the pre sale carls jr, also they took a picture of the shuttle before it left the airport then later the borrowed my phone because theirs was out of batts I guess because of taking pics of the shuttle etc

^^^ effortfully but successfully summarizes the etc.

didn't see the last episode of roseanne, but that closing monologue is amazing

xxp they're called 'takeaways' over here i don't think we have any carl jrs or arby's tho

third world problems

I remember watching roseanne religiously, but have zero recollection of the final season. I remember everything up to Dan's heartattack.

Maybe I died too.

That last season was a real hate letter to the fans. Every other episode was a 'fantasy' episode, the family won the lottery and turned into the Beverly Hillbillies, Dan was off galivanting around with another woman for half the season. And yet they still expected the odd dramatic moment to have emotional resonance. It's no wonder you blocked it out.

or maybe he just didn't watch it, like the overwhelming majority of people who watched the first 7 or 8 seasons. i think i got off the bus gradually during season 5 and 6.

Smart man.

I'd pick you up
I'd take you back to my lair

hahahaha

awesome

I mentioned upthread that when I saw Sabbath a decade ago, I thought Ward was having trouble keeping up. This was after his return from his heart attack. But then, he did keep up, so I'm not sure what the prob is. Maybe he got worse? But of course, if he couldn't do it, it's not a "I think I can, I think I can" situation. If he couldn't do it he couldn't fake it, so it seems unlikely that performance is an issue.

Geezer and Ozzy have it easy. All Geezer has to do is sleep through his rote-simple (but don't get me wrong, still awesome!) riffs, and Ozzy just has to be subtle about peeing his pants.

at least he's being subtle about something for once

By "subtle" I meant "subtly dumping buckets of water over himself to hide the fact that he is incontinent."

― Josh in Chicago, Friday, May 18, 2012 1:35 PM (1 hour ago)

so that's what the subtle nuances are

well done

ppl upthread are crazy, life aquatic is his best film

― Mordy, Saturday, May 19, 2012 10:17 PM (7 minutes ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

it's his best movie with the word aquatic in the title but if you then go on to include all of the movies he has made that do not have that word in the title then it suffers badly by comparison

idk I thought the aquatic tenenbaums was just a tad better than the life aquatic

aquatic mr. fox >>> all other aquatics

Aquatic Rocket all the way.

I'll take The Darquatic Ltd.

Aquatic Life Aquatic

no fooling though, aquatic mister fox is funniest

Especially the part where he drowned five minutes into the film.

no, that was the hottest part

10.0

he couldnt deliver a show his bosses were satisfied with?

like idk i had this whole sarcastic thing about how rare it is in hollywood to find a verbally abusive writer with a drinking problem and an inflated sense of their own importance or w/e but harmon fought publicly with the shows biggest star and 'privately' with other writers/producers delivered shows late had problems managing budget/time seemed to actively delight in not compromising w/the studio blah blah blah

Re: Erica Jong's discussion of 40 Shades Of Grey's implausibility and poor use of coital exclamations:

“Argh,” she says, losing her virginity.

this is hilarious

I love that she says "argh" like she's Cathy.

"Ack!" she says, losing her virginity as she crams chocolates into her mouth.

Wait, is "'Argh' she says, losing her virginity" really a line in 40 Shades?

Yes, and I think it's 50 shades

I believe that's Jong's summation of that particular passage, but I believe the dialogue was translated faithfully.

I totally forgot about ten of the shades. My bad.

this killed me:

maybe she's a pirate?

I think it's 50 shades

Shade inflation's terrible, n'est-ce pas?

There must be...fifty shades to lose your virginity.

I think I was getting mixed up and conflating 50 Shades Freed with 40oz to Freedom

50 Shades of ambiguity

Just let out an "Ack!", Jack
Utter an "Oy!", Roy
Blurt out a "Yikes!", Mike
Then forcibly put your wang in her pooper

omg dying

Hall of Fame right there.

omg

bwaahaha
