Yes, I did like the movie. I'm trying to re-evaluate Sandy Dennis's performance. At first I thought she was the weak link in the cast, but I just learned that she won an Oscar for it.

I think Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn could do a kick-ass Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?.

Honey is a tough part because it's not as fleshed out as the others. It's the weak link in the writing, I think.

― Eazy, Monday, 9 April 2007 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

I think I agree. She's not given much to do.

― jaymc, Monday, 9 April 2007 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

No no... Tom Waits and Lily Tomlin.

Eric, what did you think of the Honey in the production we saw? I liked her. I actually felt like she had a little more substance than Sandy Dennis did in the movie. I don't know if that was her acting or what, but I had a lot more empathy for Honey during the play that in the movie.

i woke up yesterday and realized i didn't have any actual food in my house but i did have baker's chocolate, sugar, eggs, and flour so i made brownies. i had soup and brownies for dinner last night and am polishing off the rest of the batch right now with my horrible bus station coffee.

that's kind of awesome.

― kenan, Monday, 9 April 2007 15:31 (nineteen years ago)

here's a food tip: drinking a half gallon of V8 juice in one sitting will do... odd... things to your digestive tract. Be warned.

― kenan, Monday, 9 April 2007 15:32 (nineteen years ago)

So will eating nothing but meat from the Romanian Kosher Sausage Co. for a week (has anyone been there btw?).

― Jordan, Monday, 9 April 2007 15:34 (nineteen years ago)

No, but I want to go now!

― dan m, Monday, 9 April 2007 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

My moms had her friend bring back a bunch of meat, it is seriously the best salami and bologna I have ever had. The pepper steak and the corned beef is not exactly shabby either.

I'm trying to re-evaluate Sandy Dennis's performance....I just learned that she won an Oscar for it.

And as with Ruth Gordon in Rosemary's Baby, she went on repeating that performance until she died.

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 9 April 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

even in Harold and Maude?

― kenan, Monday, 9 April 2007 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

xpost Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, I assume. I saw that at Borders the other day and allllmost bought it. But then thought... what would the re-watchability factor of this really be?

Very high re-watchability factor.

Can anyone answer Kenan's question about Blockbuster's online selection?

― Jesse, Monday, 9 April 2007 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

The ham was delish. Dan, sendspace me some leftovers.

Oh shit. Guess what's in my murse that I forgot about till just now. Hint: I bought it at Hot Doug's.

― Jesse, Monday, 9 April 2007 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

I've had a corn dog in my murse since Saturday afternoon. Not so genius.

― Jesse, Monday, 9 April 2007 15:59 (nineteen years ago)

I've been told that Blockbuster's online selection is very much comparable to Netflix's.

― jaymc, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:00 (nineteen years ago)

It took me a few minutes to realize that Sandy Dennis != Sandy Denny.

― jaymc, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:01 (nineteen years ago)

xpost Still, how fast is their turnaround? Because the "getting videos directly from the store" bit is a non-starter, as far as I'm concerned.

― kenan, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

The Cunty Bitches' songs include:

"Fist My Pussy"
"1 More Abortion"
"Eat UR Baby"
"Kiddie Porn"

― Jesse, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

No idea.

― jaymc, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

aw... jesse has a new favorite band!

― kenan, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:05 (nineteen years ago)

oh noes more boring grammar questions:

exploitative or exploitive?

― kenan, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:21 (nineteen years ago)

That band sounds like a 3rd rate A.C. at best.

― dan m, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:21 (nineteen years ago)

That's not a grammar question, it's a spelling question. Webster's 11th has a full entry for "exploitative," while "exploitive" is defined as "exploitative," which suggests that it's an acceptable variant but that the first is preferred.

― jaymc, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:24 (nineteen years ago)

I would say exploitative.

At every reading, David Sedaris pitches a book. Last night, in honor of Easter, he was promoting The Zombie Survival Guide.

― Jesse, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:25 (nineteen years ago)

I would say exploitative, too, since exploitation is a word, but exploition is not.

― kenan, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:27 (nineteen years ago)

And he made comparisons between the lie of WMDs and writing a fake tell-all about being a fucked-up alcoholic. "People were shocked, saying, 'What? That fucked-up alcoholic lied to us!?' but when they heard that the President told us that Iraq had horrible weapons that turned out not to exist, we felt that it was as understandable as say a typo."

― Jesse, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:28 (nineteen years ago)

did he mean the junkie?

― kenan, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

Do you ever have a day when you are browsing the web and you feel like there's nothing on?

― Jesse, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:33 (nineteen years ago)

A friend lent me this record the other day, it's fun!

http://www.dustygroove.com/images/products/z/zzathomewiththegroove_101b.jpg

― Jordan, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:33 (nineteen years ago)

Haha, I totally remember that record. I don't think I ever actually heard it, but it sounded like a cool premise.

― jaymc, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:35 (nineteen years ago)

I hate those fucking ads on MySpace that show an animated person on their computer, typing, laughing, etc. They're creepy.

― Jesse, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:36 (nineteen years ago)

One of my college housemates had a Groovebox. I got really pissed at it at first but then had a good time making beats.

― dan m, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:38 (nineteen years ago)

One of my college housemates had a Groovebox.

Mine too! It was thumpin.

― Jesse, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know why I did that. Sorry.

― Jesse, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

Dan will explain. He owns that domain.

― Jesse, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

I hope the Beck track on there ('Boyz') got played in some gay clubs.

It would be fun to have a Groovebox party with a couple people making real-time dance music on it (or maybe that would be asking too much, I've never fucked around with one).

― Jordan, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:50 (nineteen years ago)

Why do I have to explain a joke from a party that only a few people here were at?

It'd be a little difficult to make real-time music on a Groovebox. You'd have to be really good and organized to get it done.

― dan m, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe an Acid or Garage Band party would be better? I haven't used those either.

I also found out yesterday that a small studio in town here did most of the sounds/loops for GB, at least the first few 'jam packs'.

― Jordan, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:55 (nineteen years ago)

Eric, what did you think of the Honey in the production we saw? I liked her.

I was distracted by her accent at first (or maybe it was the amplification), but she was good once she was helpless and drunk. I wonder if those moments work better onstage, just because the audience is in the same room with this person (someone we've all been or seen at a party) instead of seeing them onscreen.

Jody Nueva uses Blockbuster and it seems fast, plus she can get a few free store rentals per month, so if she doesn't want to wait a day for something she can go to the store and get it.

― Eazy, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:58 (nineteen years ago)

I've totally gone to Specialty Video when I want something NOW.

― jaymc, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:03 (nineteen years ago)

I've got a dentitst appointment. I don't want to go.

― Jesse, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:07 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, the hell if I was going to wait four days for more Wire (Sunday, my dvds to ship back on Monday, get sent out on Tuesday, and arrive on Wednesday).

I hadn't been to Hollywood Video in forever and forgot about their weird late fee policy.

Video Woman: You've got 18 bucks in late fees. Do you want to pay that now?
Me: Um, not especially?
VW: Okay. Do you want to pay some of it?
Me: Sure, how much do I need to pay?
VW: Whatever you want.
Me: How about...zero?
VW: How about a couple dollars?
Me: Sweet.

And now I won't go back there for another six months.

― Jordan, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:08 (nineteen years ago)

I have a membership to the Hollywood Video up by the Howard stop, because it was the only video store I could find that had Mariah Carey's Glitter. Fuck if I'm driving all the way up there, though.

I don't have a single picture of me when I was in college.

― Jeff, Friday, 20 April 2007 02:49 (nineteen years ago)

I wasn't there for very long.

― Jeff, Friday, 20 April 2007 02:49 (nineteen years ago)

I've dredged a few up, but I'm not a picture person. They all come from other people and I remember seeing them, then ask for them later.

― dan m, Friday, 20 April 2007 02:55 (nineteen years ago)

you're gonna get old and wrinkly some day too.

And when I do, I will probably happily have sex with old women who have so much makeup on they are are starting to look like drag queens, but why rush things?

omg kenan your college photo

an old ID photo. I wish I had a shot of me with a long goatee and a do-rag! (PS I am not kidding.)

When did digital cameras become omnipresent anyway?

Depends on the college, but I guess total saturation was acheived about three or four years ago, even in the filthiest state schools.

― kenan, Friday, 20 April 2007 03:11 (nineteen years ago)

I don't have a single picture of me when I was in college.

You're in college now. Do what Evan does--post pics of yourself as you are now.

― Jesse, Friday, 20 April 2007 04:27 (nineteen years ago)

I was sick of this thread because if I missed over 50 messages, the conversation here is consistantly compelling enough for me to load ALL unread messages, and with all the images, that was taking way too long. But really, more importantly, when I loaded all the messages it all in italics after a certain point.

Let's not let that happen HERE.
