Other Tuesday Stuff

1. Razor Magazine is dead. Damn. There goes one of the magazines I snagged a free subscription to.

2. In the movie meme from yesterday, I omitted a film(well, I probably omitted plenty, especially in the "underlooked" category). A truly despised film that I love is the 1996 version of The Island of Dr. Moreau. It starred Brando and Kilmer, possibly the two least fun people in Hollywood to work with at the time, and was slammed by everyone. But I adored it. Saw it in the theatre twice, even. Assholes or not, the leads did a great job, and Brando's late-career mumbling and overacting was actually put to good use. The cast included Ron Perlman and Fairuza Balk, and it was directed by John Frankenheimer (who gave us the good version of The Manchurian Candidate*). A film that's a lot more fun than most people remember it being.

3. First class of the year is in an hour. Ick. My voice is still a wee bit raspy from last week's cold. Maybe I can convince them I'm Tara Reid. Only sober, and with better (man) boobs.

4. Awesome Slings and Arrows news, courtesy of muse0fire: Season 2 will debut on Sundance in February! Woohoo! Not that I want to wait that long, but at least we now have a specific date!

5. I meant to mention this a while ago, but over in Kingdom of Loathing, I gave up on being Hardcore. I'm still Oxygenarian, but I don't have the patience for hardcore. Currently, my Turtle Tamer is at level 9, and has completed all the available quests (including the Felonia-related ones).

6. Finally, for anyone else doing the clues over at The Nameless Novel for the next Lemony Snicket Book (and I love the current Amazon cover art for it!), they've now revealed both a page of text (with some omissions) and three illustrations, and are currently working towards the cover art itself. Quite fun. Especially since both the text and the images hint at the return of some old characters and settings. :-)

*He also gave us Dead-Bang. But we can assume he was on crack when he made that one.

2. I enjoy Island of Dr. Mephesto also. 'And here, of course, is my four-assed ostrich.'

2a. I also enjoy the Manchurian remake. In no way a replacement of the original classic, but I felt it succeeded in being its own thing.

3. Ph34r yendi's man-boobs. They dispense good recommendations.

I've only seen the Manchurian remake on an airplane, and thus without sound (I refuse to pay for the earphones) and any nudity or excessive violence. I just never saw the need for a remake.

And see, no matter how many implants Reid gets, she'll never toss out recommendations like I can.

Well, it depends. When Tara gets really drunk, there's no telling what can come out of her boobs. Ice skates, Ernest Borgnine — the sky's the limit.

So Tara's got Clown Tits?

Dude, do you really wanna go there? I mean, if we collaborated on an extended riff on Tara Reid's boobs, the result would be legendary, but then on our deathbeds we'd look back and say 'Damn. I spent a whole evening riffing on Tara Reid's funbags. I suck.'

[yendi]

True. And if our deathbed moments were any more than a year from now, people would hear our last words and go, "who?"
