Hey there ladies! I’m listening early this week because I’m cleaning up my office -you know those 3 stacks of paper that you have that grow and grow and you never know WHAT might be at the bottom!
Pee-envy – hilarious!
SuperBad – I’ve been trying to forget that one ever since I saw it! But I wanted it to be better because I really like Micheal Cera – Did you see Arrested Development? I really loved that show!! I’m wondering about Juno….
Ha! A phone installed in the porch. Let’s say a prayer that the neighbors get a phone.
Stennie – “Do you know where I can get some batteries?” I am still laughing!! And yet crying for your pain 🙁
Scrubbing Bubbles Shower Cleaner & Easy Off Microwave oven cleaner (never heard of this one) – thanks for the recommendations!!
Chores vs. Alice – now there’s the things to consider!
Wow – ya’ll were so mean to Helen!!
Against better judgment, I watched Superbad this weekend. It wasn’t much, but I did get some pretty good laughs out of it. Right now I’m watching the bonus stuff, and there’s a table reading from 2002 with Seth Rogen, Jason Segel as Evan, and Bet’s old bf Haverchuck as Fogell. Wild.
If Stennie would enjoy anything in this movie, it’d be the opening title sequence.
Partridge Vs. Bradys? I have a purely hetero-male reason for it:
BRADYs, totally, I would want to be one of the Brady boys. Why?
SSS (Step Sibling Sex).
Three blonds in the next room—THREE.
The possibilities boggle the mind…
There is too much potential with Danny—I mean, that kid was heading for trouble. The show ended before Danny could really get into drugs and booze.
Laurie was hot, but she’s only one woman…
Waltons Vs. Ingalls: Ingalls and I’d run away
Cleavers Vs. Andersons: Cleavers so I could sneak into Ward and Junes bedroom in the middle of the night and watch them do what you guys described way back in the early days of the HB!
The reason I suggested a live show was so that we could hear all the fun stuff we never get to hear.
How about doing a clip show made up of your favorite moments and why they were funny.
That’s all I’ve got this week!
Great show as always!
Can’t wait to hear what your fake memoir is going to be. That should be fun….
About the posthumous fuck off for Heath Ledger for not updating his will when his daughter was born, I am a little shocked he had a will at all. I’m older than he is, and I don’t have a will. Then again, I don’t own anything of note (I’d be shocked if I owned more than $100,000 worth of stuff), so there we go.
I like the way ThePete thinks.
Venice is right—I don’t have a will and while I don’t have a huge amount of money, I do have worldly possessions that I want to make sure TheWife gets possession of.
Mike: Haha, thanks—good to know I’m not alone in this!
Oh yeah and I meant to ask if anyone had seen “Napoleon Dynamite” and what you thought of it. I imagined “SuperBad” to be similarly unfunny to me. I only saw “NP” at a friend’s and bit my tongue when other folks there were giggling at it. Really didn’t like that movie.
Bet, now you, Mr. M and I can be counted among the “lucky” to have watched Fishing with John. I seem to recall Willem Defoe was a good guest. Also, Tom Waits got seasick. That’s about all I got.
Not to bring up the Olsen Twins again, but I really have no idea if they’re against capital punishment. They don’t tell us fans about it in Tiger Beat, no matter how hard I pray.
I have no opinions on sex with any of those TV characters. I’m waiting for the Knots Landing conversation.
BTW, the twin bad-neighbor stories made me laugh so hard I almost drove off the road. I’ll recall them fondly when I’m calling the cops on mine. Your neighbor agony = our benefit!
It’s too bad SUPERBAD didn’t sit well with BET. It really grabbed me from the “get-go” and had me in stitches for the rest of the film. It had the same affect that the original Bad News Bears film had on me. My dad was a coach for youth sports leagues and my parochial grammar school. The kids my dad coached spoke and acted just like the little puds in BNB’s.
I can see how BET could be turned off by Seth Rogen and his cop partner but those scenes should not take away from the teen characters in the rest of the movie. This is how kids talk. I have teenage girls that I am forever shuttling to and from some school or leisure activity. I hear them speak or I overhear them when they don’t know I’m around. They speak and sound just like those kids in the movie.
That’s where this film draws it’s humor from.
BTW… visit my drive-in website. A very important announcement is posted there. http://www.socaldims.com
Oh yeah, Fishing With John is awesome. I need to see that again. It’s worth it just for the announcer, who’d randomly throw in non-sequiturs like the people speaking in Wings Of Desire. “Why am I here?” I’m sure it was all written for him, so I wonder what he made of it all.
“The fishermen are covered in sores and boners.”
I’ve seen (and hated) Napoleon Dynamite, but I wouldn’t put Superbad anywhere near that one. ND was cruel and mean-spirited, while Superbad is just supremely raunchy.
Mike, what non-sequiturs in Wings of Desire? Every line in that movie is poetic – it all belongs. *Sheesh*
I totally forgot to comment on HB this week because of the trip to the Chester Diner. I’ll make up for it this week though. Just you wait.
