Joe Rogan complains about Cook too, but Mencia is the notorious feud, yes.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
His delivery style (at least when his first few Comedy Central specials came out) is super-frenetic, which can give the illusion of hilarity. I find him frat-boyish and annoying.

Cook does make for a hilarious impersonation by Ike Barinholtz on MADtv.
For me the irritation is a combination of singsong vocal delivery, ADHD rambling material, the accounts of stolen jokes, and the smugness that rolls off him in waves in recent years. Oh, and the movie Waiting. Though I did like him when I first saw his act back in the 90s.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Huh. Anthony Minghella is directing a film adaptation of "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency."
Precious Ramotswe has no blue steel pistol, just two desks, two chairs, a telephone and an old typewriter. Her tiny white van is incapable of high-speed chases and fiery stunts. Then there is Mma Ramotswe herself. (Mma is a local honorific.) Film sleuths usually exude chiseled sexiness and a noir persona. But as Mr. McCall Smith puts it, Precious Ramotswe is “the fat lady detective”: rounded, not chiseled; softhearted, not dark.
Would anyone watch a film about a “traditionally built” (as she puts it) shamus whose main preoccupation is contemplating her cases under an acacia tree?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
A Mighty Heart worked for me. Angela can act, also.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
We watched the documentary Fuck the other day. I'd have given it five stars if I didn't feel they had abused Miss Manners slightly. It was funny but I still don't think it's OK.

Another lesson in don't drink and Amazon: I just bought The Forbidden Zone and The Prince of Pennsylvania.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
