"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Damn it, David. And I thought it would be thinking of the Big Bopper and Buddy Holly that broke me.

Just watched Young Frankenstein again around Halloween. Boyle's scene with Gene Hackman as the blind hermit is Fucking Comedy Genius! The look on his face while his thumb is on fire...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I sent that link to a friend who burned his anus with Nair. still makes me giggle when I see it.

I hope you don't introduce him that way.

I'm pretty sure that's the razor company that had the ads up all over new york shaving a peach or a pair of kiwis.

Did they think that was too subtle?!?

Indeed. I'd argue that comic take or no, Boyle's monster was among the definitive portrayals and is right up there with Karloff's. It also had a better ending than 90% of the Frankenstein movies made over the years.

Today is not my day. I just left a fairly incoherent voicemail for someone, forgot my phone number and paused forever while I looked it up, and then didn't hang up the phone properly.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Did they think that was too subtle?!?

I've got to say, until I was walking by a wheat-pasted construction site and saw a peach poster next to a kiwis poster the penny didn't really drop.

It's not a sign of dirtiness that this banner ad makes me think they're pitching to people who want to shave testicles, is it?

Have you looked at the actual site? It's not a misleading banner...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, man, I hope that guy is getting paid well.

One thing's for sure... no casting agent is ever going to forget his demo reel.

Is that work safe?
