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

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."

so that's what the subtle nuances are

well done

ppl upthread are crazy, life aquatic is his best film

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

well, it's as good as anything Jong's ever written

woooooow :D

I left halfway through Rushmore back in 1998, but thought the badger movie was pretty fun.

lol, funny to read a funny follow-up to one of my posts here before i see it in the OT

ps megalolz at someone voting in a genre he explicitly doesn't care for dismissing one of the genre's acknowledged classics as "a silly little horror film."

You'd think that people would have had enough of silly horror films. But I look around me and see that it isn't so.

/I think I've told this story before but my college roommate has a super obsessive mother who rented Eraserhead one weekend and made the entire family watch it 10 times in quick succession. She also painted Disintegration-inspired murals all over their bathroom after my roommate brought home copies of my Cure albums.

An ex co-worker was really into SJP, to the point of having her picture as his desktop wallpaper on his work computer. One day he was like "So, what do you think about SJP? Don't you think she's hot?" and I was "no way, she looks like a horse!"
