Yeah that was no joke. I've just been eating and drinking a lot of water hoping to even it out. Body still feels kinda weird, but nothing like last night. Hopefully everything will even out soon.
I think The Producers gets such praise because it shattered taboos. But Jesus Christ are Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs still hilarious. Spaceballs spoofed a cult film and ended up becoming a cult film on its own with its endlessly quotable lines. Rick Moranis FTW. "Eveel weel alwees triumph because good is DUMB." I think the best movie as a whole is YF. It's just so brilliantly done, and probably the best movie ever based on Frankenstein.
If comcast could find a way to turn of spanish for some of my channels that'd be great. I like watching soccer, but I'd rather not have the spanish feed on ESPN
Spaceballs is gold. It has 100% held up. I constantly use the 1-2-3-4-5 luggage joke. If Rick Moranis does anything ever again, please Satan, let it be Spaceballs 2. Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles both fall into legendary comedy film status. Timeless. Well plotted, well acted, quick witted, and entirely quotable. They also did things people hadn't seen or heard before. My friend's FB update last week somehow turned into a 40 person reply using only Blazing Saddles lines. "They said you was hung!" "And they was right!"
Even his father is now saying he hopes Johnny goes to jail. "Paul Manziel told ESPN on Friday. "I mean, I hate to say it, but I hope he goes to jail. I mean, that would be the best place for him."
Imo, that's one reason I put BS ahead of Sb, since so much of it was a direct spoof of Star Wars. I felt like BS stood on its own better. They're both f-ing gold, though. I watched 2001 recently, and couldn't watch it the same hearing the timpani drums from Also Spake Zarathrusta. I kept waiting for a cut to see the space ball guys banging on kettle drums.
So, is Taylor Swift going to be mad at Kanye for putting her naked wax figure in his video? (ugh, like, what did he do to it between takes?) Or, will she be flattered that she looks the best of those in the bed?
One of my friends has put 3 daughters through a&m. It's obnoxious. His truck is maroon. His boots are maroon. His Aggie pride is....constant and all kinds of in your face. I love the guy but IDGAF about his daughters and their ROTC at a&m (or whatever they did there).
The reason Spaceballs withstood the test of time is because it indeed spoofed Star Wars, but at the same time had all these hilarious out-of-left-field moments triggered by dialogue: "Comb the desert" "This...is now"--- my favourite gag. Moranis turns to the camera and waves, dumbfounded by the paradox. "Ludicrous Speed" "I see your Schwartz is as BIG as mine" "This isn't THEM you idiots..." And so on. What an awesome character...
I think I'll sit down and learn this tonight. Highly underrated band and Tracii Guns has always been one of my favorite guitarist....because of songs like this. I've always been a huge fan of controlled noise. EDIT: One more. If you haven't checked out Nicki Sixx's new band Sixx AM, you should. Nikki is still a great song writer.
My sister started calling me PufferCat this weekend, really an inside joke that takes a bit of a back story to understand, kind of funny though
There was a commercial on the TV just now that informed me that Bret Michaels and Vince Neil were going to be giving a concert here. With special guest War. How the hell does War end up in the same sentence as Bret Michaels and Vince Neil, let alone on the same venue? Oh yeah....they're also all playing at a fireworks stand. Must be tough times.
Bigger question is how the hell, with all the venues in vegas, do you end up doing a concert at a fireworks stand?
I just tried to give my son this nickname. My wife's response: "Ok no we're not gonna do that. One, he's not little, his muscles are bigger than yours. Two, he doesn't poot, he farts. He farts like a grown man and you taught him this and I can't stand that. Wanna call him fartface instead?
Holy fuck am I whacked out. Spent the last 5 hours in the shop applying a whack of Danish Oil to my corner bookcase that I'm building... it was a solid 5 hours of applying almost 3 large containers of the stuff. Garage door was open, fans were blowing, but yeah... I can't walk a straight line. SO.... It only makes sense to go pour a huge fucking drink (Captain and Coke) and veg out in front of the computer. Oh... and I just devoured a huge fucking boneless rib steak. It was more of a roast than a steak, as a steak should be. Betcha y'all wish you were me right now, don't ya?
