Hillary Clinton said: “I’m just very grateful we kept this campaign going until South Dakota would have the last word,” but Bill said: “This may be the last day I’m ever involved in a campaign of this kind.”, and I’m thinking: Is today really the last day Hillary and Barack will bore us with their endless meaningless, empty promises and speeches? Will tomorrow be a new day, in which we’ll get to hear real news for a change? The answer is probably NO, but it’s OK to dream isn’t it?
I thought that the whole thing about Eli Stone was that George Michael appears in all of his visions/ hallucinations.
Now I’m curious to know where George is. We he is not so good in hiding. A permanent role for the singer, will improve the show greatly.
Just to think of the long way Sick Boy had to go, from a drug addict to Eli Stone….
Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life… But why would I want to do a thing like that?
The question is not who will win an Oscar but if the event will ever take place. If to judge by Hollywood’s outspoken I know how to fix the world wannabe George Clooney, the Oscars will only happen if the Writers Guild of America and TV and film producers will reach an agreement that will end the writers strike, and he offers to help solving this issue: “When the strike happens, it’s not just writers (affected)… Our hope is that all the players will lock themselves in a room and not come out until they finish. We want this to be done. That’s the most important thing.” He told Hollywood.com. Oh come on George, you got your nominees, let go will ya? It reminds me a South Park episode from a couple of years ago, when a cloud of smug, carrying Clooney’s Academy Awards speech, was threatening to destroy society.
Daniel, Javier, don’t lose hope, Michael Clayton is not such a great movie…
And besides, Day- Lewis always wins!
This week, in our usual Amy Winehouse update, its all about the The Prisoner, The Blond, and The Burger.
“Love you handsome, gorgeous one” shouted the now blond Winehouse to her husband Blake Fielder-Civil in a London court where he had his hearing. Amy almost missed Blake’s court appearance, and arrived just five minutes to the end. To the reporters she only said: ” I am not talking to you.”
Then she was led out by Georgette Fielder-Civil, Blake’s mother, who gave her take on Winehouse condition by saying: “She’s fine, thank you.”
The good news is, that after this drama, instead of getting a drink, Amy went to one of her favorite places: McDonald’s. These are good news because if to judge by what she looks like in recent photos, a burger is exactly what she needs.
Yesterday I wrote about me developing an eye for Showtime’s Dexter. Today I read that I’m not alone. According to Reuters, CBS CEO, Leslie Moonves, said that CBS is planning to air edited version of Dexter, because of content shortage, due to the ongoing writers strike. Reuters also points that CBS is the leader in the forensic crime drama genre with the “CSI” franchise.
On a different note, the latest issue of the Rolling Stone Magazine covers the Led zeppelin reunion. Last night a got a chance to go over the piece and it is highly recommended if you are a fan of the band. Here is a taste of what Jimmy Page had to say about the reunion: “It was immediate, Everybody went in with a will to work and to enjoy it. It was a delight.”
Our dear Amy has canceled her UK tour by her Doctor’s order…, and said that she can’t do it “without my Blake”. Her Blake (her husband- Blake Fielder- Civil) is now in prison and waiting to see what will happen with his case. Meanwhile, NME reports that Amy’s dad, Mitch Winehouse say that his daughter is considering entering rehab to take care of her drug problems. And I say Yes Yes Yes.
“To appreciate the beauty of a snow flake, it is necessary to stand out in the cold.” (No idea who said it found it on Google…) Sometimes it snows in November, and for someone who grew up in a very warm place, it’s always some sort of magic. So conflagrations to Boston’s first snow of the season!!!
That’s how it goes, from public enemy No. 1, to a saint. That’s what is happening to Michael Jackson these days. As we approach the 25th anniversary of Thriller, the album who broke any record in the record book, Jacko is back in business with an exclusive interview after 10 years to “Ebony” magazine. Harriette Cole, editor of “Ebony” magazinesaid on The Today Show that: “The thing that was most impressive to me about him (M.J.) is that he is so loving and generous to everyone, we photographed in the Brooklyn Museum. It was the guard he made sure he spoke to, the elevator operator, everybody who was there was someone he wanted to treat with kindness.” Rumors about a new album were also thrown in the air.
In 1982, as a little kid, in the land of far far away, I had a small cassette player with Thriller on it. Michael Jackson just before going nuts was my hero. I can’t believe it’s been 25 years.
If he can make a comeback, everyone can.
What would have happened to me, a non celebrity, if I was to use a racial reference lets say… lets not say… just to any minority? Most likely, if I said it at work, I would get fired. If I said it on TV, someone will sue my ass. Jay Leno reaction to Halle Berry’s Anti-Semitic comment on The Tonight Show was: “I’m glad you said it.”
Why Leno? Why are you so glad? Would you be just as glad if someone made a similar joke about African- Americans? Jay Leno must apologize or he is just as racist as stupid Berry.
P.S. Halle f@#$ing Berry, your tears may be good for all the awards you got for taking off your clothes in movies, but please, please do not use this bullshit on us, it doesn’t work.
Sarah Silverman told Macleans.ca that: “I never consciously decided to be the way I am or do the material I do it’s not a game plan.” But just before we develop any high hopes she ads: “So, I figure if I grow and change and continue to do stuff that makes me giggle, I should be good.”
I found this picture on Sport5 website, and I knew I had to put it here. The sign is in reference to David Beckham, and the guy who hold the amazingly resembles Walter Sobchak, John Goodman’s character in The Big Lebowski my all-time favorite. And the writing on the sign has the same attitude, as if he was saying: “This is what happens when you f#$% a stranger in the ass!”
I spent a big part of my youth fantasizing about going to a Led Zeppelin concert. I spent hours listening to a 24 minutes Dazed And Confused on my old record player, and thinking to myself, how much I would give to see Jimmy Page doing his psychedelic guitar thing live. Not understanding how the fuck does John Bonham does what he does, especially in Moby Dick. Watching John Paul Johns reading a bedtime story to the kids when he is called to duty- a tour. And as I grew older the dream faded and faded and was almost gone until a couple of days ago, I found out that there is a good chance that the greatest rock band in history will reunite for a world tour!!!! Yes, they are doing a tribute show for Atlantic Records, and then, with Jason Bonham (son of the late drummer) on drums they are on their way!!! I don’t have any details on when and where, but I have a world map and a calendar…
Sarah Silverman grilled Paris Hilton on MTV Movie awards. I’ve expressed my thoughts more then once about Silverman’s sense of humor, however this time I want to offer her a quote as a piece of advice: “Be nice to people on your way up, because you meet them on your way down.” Jimmy Durante (Quotation Page)
Idea for post inspired by Boing Boing. Actual link credit: Boston.com. Post-Read Commentary: Priceless.
In a scene reminiscent of the Cartoon Network bomb scare that paralyzed the Boston area in January, police shut down a strip mall yesterday in this small western suburb after employees at a Bank of America branch mistook a botched fax for a bomb threat.
Frustrated shop owners said the branch overreacted to the strange fax, which turned out to be an in-house marketing document sent by the bank’s corporate office.
“The women at the bank should have handled it a little better,” said Nick Markos, owner of Townhouse Pizza and Roast Beef, who estimated that he had lost $1,000 to $1,200 because of the lunch-hour evacuation. “She blew it all out of proportion, and all of us business owners had to pay for it.”
There is a new book out called The Enlightened Bracketologist: The Final Four of Everything. It’s co-written by a sports journalist and a literary agent. The former makes sense since Bracketology, a method for sports fans to keep track of which teams they are betting on to win, is traditionally associated with basketball, March Madness, and determining which collegiate teams will make it into the NCAA Finals.
Authors Mark Reiter and Richard Sandomir were recently interviewed on “The Today Show” where they talked about applying their Final 4 methodology to pop culture and most specifically illustrated one of the studies from their book in which they determined which bald-headed figure in modern culture was the most popular. No, it was not Homer Simpson, but he was a finalist. Other studies found in the book include “A Jew/Not A Jew” and “Women’s Magazines Sex Cliches.” If you’re shaking your head about now, you get where I’m coming from with my frustration with this ridiculous study.
Wait, there guys were actually paid to write this book and are collecting phat royalties off it?
Ok, so maybe I’m just jealous that these guys thought of a clever way to pitch their bogus, fun-filled project to a major publishing house and get paid a wad of cash to indulge their fancy. It’s conceivable. But I’m also concerned about the consequences that such ideas bring forth into the world. Why must we reinforce the idea that people need to be sized up and classified on the basis of superficial criteria? Who and what determines that criteria? Why judge people at all on the basis of some artificial construct?
While you can claim I’m rushing to serious accusation here, insidious as it might sound, such manufactured ideas have a way of seeping into the underbelly of our day-to-day conscious decision making. While in fact schema are necessary to function in everyday life (yes, I took my Psychology back in college) as they help us digest the world around us without sensory overload, they have a way of causing frequent errors in our judgment.
There was a line last night in “Reign Over Me” I held close to my heart. It was said by Don Cheadle’s character to his daughter when she called to her father (something along the lines of), “Your friend is here. The one that acts younger than JoJo.” Perhaps it wasn’t so much Cheadle’s words but the manner he affected when he retorted, “Don’t do that. Don’t judge him like that. It’s not kind.”
So shoot me. I’ll opt for a bit of kindness and a little understanding over shiteology any day of the week.
Tonight’s double episode of The Office was not a new one. I’ve already seen it before, and I can prove it!
However, it was worth watching it again and if for one quote from Michael Scott’s mouth:” I don’t want somebody sucking up to me because they think I’m going to help their career. I want them sucking up to me because they genuinely love me”.
This quote combines so much stupidity, geniousity, and deep understanding of the human soul. It also defines in few words, the show.
