They should make a thing that plots all of the Craigslist listings on Google Maps.

It's the future, after all.

lamp that wasn't a zing, that was honesty

jazzgasms (Mr. Que), Saturday, 21 November 2009 20:44 (fourteen years ago) link

I knew it! Lamp's comment made me doubt myself.

bamcquern, Saturday, 21 November 2009 20:45 (fourteen years ago) link

xp ikr - you're not the only friend of mine that likes Phil Collins. Now I feel mildly guilty at breaking my silence on the subject.

sarahel, Saturday, 21 November 2009 21:10 (fourteen years ago) link

just wanted a little balance in the interest of fairness, no guilt needed u

have you seen American Psycho? curious if you have what you thought of it?

sarahel, Saturday, 21 November 2009 21:20 (fourteen years ago) link

i read the book but i didn't see the movie but I do <3 chloe sevigny, fully agree with about 90% of patrick bateman's music reviews btw esp the whitney houston one

plaxico (I know, right?), Saturday, 21 November 2009 21:46 (fourteen years ago) link

I <3 Christian Bale - it's weird thinking that he's the same age as me. I think in some ways the movie is actually better than the book.

sarahel, Saturday, 21 November 2009 21:47 (fourteen years ago) link

the book made me crack up a lot when I read it one summer during secondary school, every time my mam asked what i was laughing at i kinda had to be "i would have to explain a lot of backstory" cos usually they would be lines abt hacking up some workmate

plaxico (I know, right?), Saturday, 21 November 2009 21:49 (fourteen years ago) link

glamorama is my favourtite B.E.E., it's the funniest and most violent

plaxico (I know, right?), Saturday, 21 November 2009 21:50 (fourteen years ago) link

Christian Bale. He's decided he doesn't mind being typecast.

bamcquern, Saturday, 21 November 2009 21:51 (fourteen years ago) link

wld not want to see him play someone with a sense of humour ever

plaxico (I know, right?), Saturday, 21 November 2009 21:52 (fourteen years ago) link

EXACTLY

bamcquern, Saturday, 21 November 2009 21:52 (fourteen years ago) link

but he kinda has a sense of humor in the way he plays characters without one

sarahel, Saturday, 21 November 2009 21:54 (fourteen years ago) link

I don't know because I've been avoiding his movies for one reason or another. Mostly the seriousness and a splash of uptheassness.

bamcquern, Saturday, 21 November 2009 21:55 (fourteen years ago) link

the thing is - in a lot of his roles - he comes across as a real person, as opposed to a caricature - the Machinist is a good example - maybe he does less so now. The Batman movies I can't help seeing as Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman as Batman.

sarahel, Saturday, 21 November 2009 21:57 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah his bruce wayne is Patrick Batman tbh

plaxico (I know, right?), Saturday, 21 November 2009 21:58 (fourteen years ago) link

it's actually pretty fitting though.

sarahel, Saturday, 21 November 2009 22:00 (fourteen years ago) link

however I can't watch a movie with Christian Bale in it without thinking of the line, "I have to return some video tapes." from American Psycho. Like in the one that came out last year that was the fictional remake of Little Dieter Needs to Fly, and Bale is in the POW camp trying to escape, I kept imagining him saying, "I've gotta get out here. Look, you need to let me out of this camp. I have to return some videotapes."

It's similar to how I can't watch a Keanu Reeves movie without imagining Keanu saying, "You killed Ted, you medieval dickweed."

sarahel, Saturday, 21 November 2009 22:36 (fourteen years ago) link

we sorted the movies last night - completely amiably - only a handful of things that I'll miss that are his. More things he'll miss that are mine.

sarahel, Monday, 23 November 2009 02:42 (fourteen years ago) link

it was weird going through everything and realizing the differences between our tastes, which are pretty similar. All the demonic children movies were mine.

sarahel, Monday, 23 November 2009 02:47 (fourteen years ago) link

in my last breakup i got all the cds and now i have a stack of lame twee juno-indie

plaxico (I know, right?), Monday, 23 November 2009 13:08 (fourteen years ago) link

is there any store where you are that buys used cds? Getting rid of them and getting some money in return sounds like the best outcome of that.

The books are the next thing to sort - looking at the shelves, I bought him a shitload of really nice art books over the years.

sarahel, Monday, 23 November 2009 17:16 (fourteen years ago) link

Bryce - you are right about Jennifer Herrema

sarahel, Monday, 23 November 2009 19:29 (fourteen years ago) link

Wait wait. I don't remember discussing Jennifer Herrema with you. What did I say about her?

bamcquern, Monday, 23 November 2009 19:45 (fourteen years ago) link

it was on an 1p3 thread - you said you didn't think she was that attractive under the glasses and accessories. she isn't. But then, I think I have some sort of instinctual utilitarian aesthetic where people with a lot of drug or alcohol damage just aren't that physically attractive to me.

sarahel, Monday, 23 November 2009 19:46 (fourteen years ago) link

Oh. That must've been a long time ago. I talked about this with Katie a couple of months ago, and we could not find an unflattering picture of her, even though I swore at the time that I had seen some.

bamcquern, Monday, 23 November 2009 19:56 (fourteen years ago) link

I've seen her in person.

sarahel, Monday, 23 November 2009 19:58 (fourteen years ago) link

Oh, God, Alexa Chung. I like how she does not give a fuck about her own show.

bamcquern, Monday, 23 November 2009 20:31 (fourteen years ago) link

I don't even know who that is. I think sometimes that Tuomas is more knowledgeable about American culture than i am.

sarahel, Monday, 23 November 2009 20:33 (fourteen years ago) link

I'm gonna go to the big used bookstore in Berkeley to look for some more of those things I couldn't find - also to get the donuts with the cream cheese frosting and chocolate chips on top.

sarahel, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 00:25 (fourteen years ago) link

if only alexa chung was american culture

my fave thing to do on the computer is what im doing right now (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 24 November 2009 00:26 (fourteen years ago) link

is alexa chung better than donuts with cream cheese frosting and chocolate chips on top?

sarahel, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 00:28 (fourteen years ago) link

Now that I can transfer photos from my cell phone to the computer, I will take a picture of these donuts.

sarahel, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 00:30 (fourteen years ago) link

That kind of donut I would think too sweet?

Cream cheese frosting - seems like someone on ilx would already have played the cream cheese frosting is the insufferable indie version of buttercream frosting card.

Yeah, Alexa Chung's an import. She's great. I took some pics of her and DeRulo to post and be suitably ignored later.

bamcquern, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 00:33 (fourteen years ago) link

I think I've been to that bookstore. I bought Nightwood there. Probably only thing I got there.

bamcquern, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 00:33 (fourteen years ago) link

it's two doors down from the donut shop which is almost across the street from Amoeba.

sarahel, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 00:35 (fourteen years ago) link

the cake part of the donut is actually a bit dry, and not super sweet, so it works well with the frosting -- if the cake part was sweeter it would probably be too sweet, but it isn't. At least I don't think so.

sarahel, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 00:43 (fourteen years ago) link

3/4 of the books sorted - more traumatic than the movies - unexpectedly

sarahel, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 05:54 (fourteen years ago) link

i think i will make that cartoon i was thinking about - but later

She Is Beyond Food In Weevil (Mackro Mackro) unbanned

I was kinda sad when this guy asked to be banned, because I really liked that display name. Whenever I hear that song now, I almost always think of it as "She is beyond food in weevil"

sarahel, Friday, 27 November 2009 21:18 (fourteen years ago) link

I think Robert Smith should record a cover of "I've Written a Letter to Daddy" from Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

sarahel, Monday, 30 November 2009 20:02 (fourteen years ago) link

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck its 70 degrees out and my stupid brother just turned on the AC.

I don't know that song. I never saw that movie.

bamcquern, Monday, 30 November 2009 23:36 (fourteen years ago) link

basically the "joke" of having Robert Smith cover it - is that in the movie Bette Davis is doing this song she did as a child star - but she is clearly old - but she is still doing her hair and dressing like she did when she was younger.

sarahel, Monday, 30 November 2009 23:37 (fourteen years ago) link

I read nested. I'm a Scoop power user.

bamcquern, Monday, 30 November 2009 23:54 (fourteen years ago) link

I felt bad that I didn't go buy my friend Jen another bag of kitty litter before she got back. She was out, and probably when she got back she was tired and hung over and the cat had pooped on the floor, as that cat does. And it would have been really nice of me to get her more kitty litter, but I didn't.

sarahel, Monday, 30 November 2009 23:56 (fourteen years ago) link

I hope they're arguing about who ate the pumpkin bread again.
