tone, put that big-ass size 13 on and kick it for the homies…
oh, and with all the chat about ‘snow angels’ around here, why didn’t anyone mention that it’s fucking depressing?!
– there be spoilers within –
not even the blurb on the back of the dvd hints at the wretchedness of the final act; at least they could have snuck the word ‘tragic’ in there somewhere to give the viewer a clue, they made it sound like a quirky relationship dramedy, all this rubbish about ‘family’ and ‘second chances’ (my ass!)…funny, because i almost chose ‘be kind rewind’ and went for ‘snow angels’ instead, but after watching ‘into the wild’ and ‘out of the blue’ the previous night, the last thing i needed was another sad ending (well, to be fair ‘out of the blue’ is sad most of the way through but excellent – anyone interested in a docudrama-style slice of kiwi life gone horribly, horribly wrong should check it out); now i just need to watch ‘united 93’ and ‘once were warriors’ back to back and i’ll be officially bummed the hell out.
my litte rant for the day.
Marketing people suck.
Anything about this new SAG strike nonsense?
If they strikes during this horrible economy, Jeff. They are a bunch of fucking morons. This is just not the time for a strike. No matter how aggrevate or in the right they feel that they are at the present time.
That’s STRIKE not STRIKES and that’s AGGREVATED not AGGREVATE. I swear to god… my typos are balls.
Aggravate.
Man. I am going to get one of those wussified vampyres to come over to your house, and treat you like a pop-tart Cloudy :D!
leahnz — with the notable, and incongruous exception of Pineapple Express, David Gordon Green doesn’t do “happy.”
Just in case you were considering renting any of his other movies.
You know what I did that was AWESOME?
For some of my TWILIGHT viewings, I rolled into the joint rocking some WHITE PANCAKE MAKEUP and my hair all lightly tussled with a clean shave and my SKIN TIGHT TEAM BELLA SHIRT under my zipped up coat with the neck up like the dude in the movie. I looked FUCKING AWESOME.
So after the movie was over I stood leaning up against a post waiting for all the 30-ish fat chicks to spill out into the lobby and I was all, WHAT’S UP HOT-ASS, I’m like the dude in the movie, no? Let’s go back to my PAD and DO IT, FUCK YEAH. No takers so far, but I definitely got the eye of approval from some fattish nerd-glasses TWOP types, so I think I might get lucky with this routine tomorrow– I’m mostly hitting on the 30-40 doughy types who need to get SERVICED.
FUCK YEAH, the white makeup really sells it. I FUCKING RULE.
I hate to preempt my own AWESOME comments, so please look directly above to see more LexGenius, but I have an important thesis now:
That new PAUL MCGUIGAN (GANGSTER NO. 1, SLEVIN, WICKER PARK, TOTAL OWNAGE BEST NEW DIRECTOR OF THE LAST TEN YEARS POSSIBLY) trailer for that FUCKING OWNFEST with CHRIS EVANS, DAKOTA FANNING, CAMILLE BELLE AND DJIM-OWWWWWWWN HOWWWWWN-SOU was the BEST TRAILER since WANTED, and promises to kick every bit as much ass.
Anyone who wants an early-09 WHOLESALE COMMANDING needs to get out there and support this movie, that ODETTE YUSTMAN Bay movie, and the FRI 13 and BLOODY VALENTINE remakes.
OWNAGE IS ON ITS WAY. HAVE NO FEAR, YOU WILL BE COMMANDED TO YOUR VERY BEING.
BOW. GET ON YOUR KNEES AND BE RULED BY THAT WHICH IS GREATER THAN YOU.
lyt, thanks for the warning. i’ve actually seen several of green’s movies, and i wasn’t expecting ‘happy’ from ‘snow angels’ but i wasn’t expecting slit-your-wrists-depressing either. i’m still trying to get my head around that messed up ending. she should have never taken her shoes off.
Over/under on how long this Rosie Live business will last? Any takers? Is it me or is this idea embarrassingly bad and passe??
One week and out.
I thought it was a one week deal for Thanksgiving week.
Yeah, “Rosie Live” is sort of a trial balloon to see if American is ready for the return of 1) live variety, and 2) Rosie O’Donnell. If it gets ratings, Rosie envisions a series that would be ordered in six-episode batches.
So do your part, America! Watch anything but NBC this Wednesday night. 🙂
P.S.: TypePad can officially kiss my ass. This is ridiculous.
dear typepad,
you suck.
sincerely,
leah
PS: If I could hit you with a bat. I would hit you with a bat. If I could hit you with a car. I would hit you with a car. If I could use heavy grade building materials and drop them on your head. I would. So, yeah, you suck typepad. You… you… horrible asshole.
Sincerly;
Wee Sissy Pants of the Third Squiring Pants Battalion, East Westershire, London.
PSS: My brother Captain Archibald Ballchaffer also shares my disdain for your existance. As does my sister Leftenant Barbara Flagellanceabuser and our cousin Jerry Porndeer.
Please note that while are names are overly silly. We do hate you, we would beat you over the head with a mallet, and we would not treat your wounds.
POLAND YOUR BLOG IS OFFICIALLY *FUCKED.*
OK THIS POINT IS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT:
Tonight I watched CHASING AMY on DVD and FUCK was that depressing; Depressing movie to begin with, but HOLY SHIT I remember seeing that at the LAEMMLE SUNSET 5 in early ’97 and LOVING IT and thinking FUCK YEAH THIS is my scene, THIS is my time, I should be in movies with THESE GUYS and ANY DAY NOW all my sending out headshots and cold-calling ACTING AGENCIES will pay off and in NO TIME I’ll be SAG elligible. And in mags like DETAILS they’d have all these WRITEUPS of the new Brat Pack type actors and all these fuckers were breaking out in 1996 and 1997, WHEN I WAS GOING TO CATTLE CALLS FOR EXTRA WORK in a certain WES CRAVEN Horror Series that was the biggest game in town.
CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE how it feels for 11 YEARS LATER to have never landed anything but fucking EXTRA WORK and OPEN MIC NIGHT and UNSOLICITED WRITING INQUIRIES that were returned to your door UNOPENED, so you have to go to a BULLSHIT ASS FUCKING VAN NUYS OFFICE to do posthouse techie shit that, yeah, pays well, but you sure as shit ain’t fucking no models or getting RECOGNIZED and you don’t have entree to the clubs and you’re a miserable NO NAME MOTHERFUCKER”?
I JUST WANT MY CHANCE MOTHERFUCKER, but now I’M 36 YEARS OLD and everyone in my age bracket has been ACTING and IN MOVIES and IN SAG for like TWO FUCKING DECADES and NOTHING IN MY LIFE HAS ANY MEANING WHATSOEVER/
FUCK I AM DEPRESSED.
I AM THE BEST ACTOR IN THE HISTORY OF FUCKING TIME.
MY TIME WAS 1998, now I am old and drunk and my soul is burning away. THE PASSAGE OF TIME is the most depressing thing EVER and anyone who CAN’T COMMAND MODEL SNATCH through SHEER POWER OF THEIR INNATE GOD-LIKE FAME is a fucking FAILURE in life.
HOW DO YOU TIE A NOOSE?
I HAVE FAILED AT *******EVERYTHIN********.
LIFE IS BULLSHIT
HEY what happened to FIONA APPLE?
FUCK did she OWN ALL; In 97 I thought she was the awesomest thing ever; She would SO get me.
FUCK YEAH.
Since it’s TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS and thus THE SEASON OF GIVING and I haven’t thrown this out here in a while,
The offer STILL STANDS:
Any Hot Blogger can arrange for THE LEXMAN a SCREEN ACTORS GUILD CARD, and I will refrain from posting on the COLD BLOG again.
ONE SAG CARD FOR LEXG = No more Lex.
WHO CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN? You would change my life instantly and alleviate 99% of my depression?
LEX FOR SAG. MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Please God. Make Lex’s wish come true.
Lex, a SAG card will do you even less good because you’d still have to get off your ass and work for jobs, which you’re too lazy and chickenshit to do. And then since you’re not getting jobs and boning starlets even though you HAVE a SAG card will make you feel like even more of a loser.
So, trust me…you don’t want that card.
Can’t you get a SAG card if/when they strike and you go log enough hours on the picket line? Of course, that would require work, as well.
