LOLQ!

I got to page 17!

All by myself!

I think the bossman will be happy with me...

For this reason, I'll stop padding my posts..

I don't need to make one post turn into 63 posts...

I can turn 63 postds into one,,,


That's why I get paid the big-bucks, y'all....


I was saying... about my alcohol... it's cheaper than the store... and before that... I was talking about speaking spanish....

I was talking about spanish because I was drinking tequila...

That makes me speak spanihs, y'all.

I know, guyse...

I was talking about spanish... because I talked about the year of the Nieto..

I talked about the year of the Nieto because we are currently living in the year of the Rabbit...

I brought up the year of the rabbit because I wanted us to teleport to a world where the year of the rabbit didn't exist...

I hav a hypothetical situation, y'all...

And the year of the rabbit would fuck it all up.

We're no longer in the year of the rabbit, y'all...

We have flashed forward>>>

To the year of the wooden Tiger....

You have grandchildren...

Nietos, y'all...

What is a story that you'd tell your grandkids?

Will you tell them about Kidz Bop?

Will you tell your Grandkidz about the women you had sex with?

What are you going to tell your Grandkidz about your own life?

Good night, y'all..

I wish you the best..

That's how I get to sleep.

I listen to Don Geronimo....

And drift to sleep.

I think we've accomplished enough tonight...

Attention, folks...this is a very special post on FU;AD...I'm breaking my own rules of the thread by posting during daylight hours, but it's for a very good reason. This post is to acknowledge the hard work of Harry Tuttle---our very first Employee of the Month. Congralations, Harry--you took us to page 17 in one night, single-handedly. Your hard work and dedication are hereby recognized with this neat commemorative plaque. At this rate, we will have surpassed WashingTone-Locian's seminal Mike O'Meara Show Thread by the Spring to become the MOST SUCCESSFUL thread in not only FFXU Off-Topic history, but FFXU history itself!

Thanks, buzzy!!!

This site is for poor lonely guys who can't get dates, are still virgins at age 40, and still live with their Mommy and keep their stash of porno books under the bed. And have not changed the sheets on their beds in 6 months. And whos idea of a goodtime is watching reruns of "the Office" and "Paperchase' with their arms across the family dog/cat. And were once straight, could not get girls, turned gay, could not get guys and went straight again.

open for bid'ness

Children of Fairfax Underground, I didn't know you were a real person.

You seem to be more knowledgeable about film than me, I'll admit that right away. But I think you're dead wrong about both Black Orpheus and Tati. Black Orpheus is a film that's pulsating with life and music. I could watch those music and dancing sequences all day. What didn't you like about it?

And yes, the gags in Jacques Tati's films are VERY precious and labored, but that's because they were labored over, and that's part of why I like them...the man only made something like seven films in his lifetime. He was obsessed with detail, and it shows, but to me not in a bad way. The sequences are almost diagramatic in the way they're composed. That scene in Playtime where they're all watching TV in the separate apartments, but we see them all at once, doing the same thing, but all separated by walls, is brilliant I think. It's just so clever, and I appreciate the meticulous detail that went into every shot. I like how he takes his time. So much comedy revolves around setting jokes up and then hitting the punchline, like the Marx Brothers; I like the change of pace, seeing a comedy like Mon Oncle or Playtime that almost seems to wander in places. It's not bust a gut, show your teeth laughing funny; it's more cerebral than anything, even though there's almost no dialogue or plot.

And I didn't mean to say I don't like John Ford...I just meant that compared to the revisionist westerns of the late 50's and on, they're very old-fashioned (the early ones anyway). I haven't seen a lot of them. Just a few, really, but I've liked every one so far.

Children, what did you think of The Red Shoes?

It was completely crazy... I enjoyed the things like "generic greeting" and the "smell sign" and the japanese speaking...

I liked how the dentist jogged to and fro his car...

It was a fun ride and I wouldn't un-ride it for anything...

But at the end, I felt it was lacking something...

speaking of famous movies you didn't think were that great, I'd like to bring up One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Now, I liked it. I didn't love it. I'll tell you why: Jack Nicholson is great of course, but I kind of resented the fact that the story is told through the eyes of a guy who isn't actually crazy. I understand it's based on a novel, so I'm kind of blaming the source material here, but I think I would have liked it more if they had showed some balls and trusted the audience with a main character who IS nuts, instead of assuming we can't handle a movie where the main character is a patient in an insane asylum (because Randall P. MacMurphy really isn't...he's not like the other guys). Hollywood talks down to the audience like this a lot. Last King of Scotland--a movie about a Ugandan dictator--had to be told via a white guy. See, they couldn't trust us with a main character who's black, and nuts, and unsympathetic. Why is it so important that we identify with the main character? Don't answer that---I know why---but why can't people take chances and try telling a story that's a little obscure, a little less obvious?

I'd rather see a movie about big Chief. I'd like to see that story first. And that whole scene where they go out on the boat.....that would never happen. I've been in the nut hut.....not once did a free-thinking wild man take us out on a yacht and "teach us how to live". Ugh.

the supporting performances, Danny Devito, Christopher Lloyd, Chief, were all spot on. I know guys like that. But come on, man. Why does the 'free spirit' have to come along and save the day? Isn't a story about mental patients interesting enough?

I had heard so much about Taxi Driver before finally seeing it that I was also (just a little) disappointed. How could you not be? It's one of those movies...like Jaws or The Godfather (both of which I still have not seen)...where it's so much part of the culture that you feel like you've seen it even if you haven't, so there's really no way the actual movie can live up to everything you've always heard about it. But I did like it. I had the same reaction to Raging Bull, and King of Comedy....clearly very, very (maybe even great movies).....I just waited too long to see them. It's partly why I still haven't seen The Godfather. I just know it's not gonna grab me the way it probably would if I had never heard of the movie beforehand.

I did like King of Comedy, though...

I guess you could connect your TV to your computer's output..

Netflix will send you a movie in the mail or you can stream it. It's alright.

A Scanner Darkly came the closest I've seen to capturing the feel of his writing. Total Recall is ridiculous....it's a great Arnold movie, but bears no resemblance to the story. I think it's called "We Can Remember it For You Wholesale". He always came up with odd titles. They're all quick, easy reads. But the ideas he came up with are mind-blowing. Weird, wild stuff.

we're open for bid'ness

Children, I just watched The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance tonight. I thought is was a really good movie. I enjoyed all the character actor's performances in particular--the drunk newspaper editor, Liberty Valance's lackeys (by the way, was that Lee Van Cleef as the tall one who never spoke?), the town marshall (who I recognized as the stagecoach driver from Stagecoach), and the black guy, Pompey. Ford really had all those western character types down. I used to hate westerns, but I've really grown to appreciate them recently.

The Red Shoes didn't really appeal to me at first (I mean, it's about ballet, right?), but there's just something about that film that I enjoyed....it's really a statement on life as an artist in the end, which I dug. One of those guys who made it, either Pressburger or Powell, made a really weird but interesting horror movie called Peeping Tom. Ever seen it?

about silent films, one of my favorites is The Unknown by Tod Browning. That scene where Lon Cheney (after having his arms amputated for the girl he loves) realizes that she's in love with someone else, is just perfect. You can see the pain in his face. It's creepy and heartbreaking at the same time.

you're right about everything in regard to Keaton. Something about his performance really hits home with me for some reason. Steamboat Bill Jr. is one of those movies that I felt like was made just for me. Brilliant stuff. I'd love to see it on a big screen someday. But Children...I've had a dilemma...I've kinda wanted to see Birth of a Nation for a while now, just because it's said to be the cornerstone of modern filmmaking, but is it worth the three plus hours? Is it a must see for someone interested in film in general, but not necessarily a 'film buff'?

Purrfect. I'll stop in around the same time tomorrow night - assuming I can find a cabbie willing to drive out here. Speaking of cabbies, I should go before the one on hold becomes too nervous and deserts me. Goodnight Mr. Misery. Til tomorrow.

To my gal and my secret gal, Ms. P,

Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'ma goin' home
My baby just wrote me a letter

Lovin' y'all is like breathin'...
It's hard to do while underwater, especially without the proper equipment.
It takes a conscious effort to do so when I'm walking or doing any other strenuous activity.
How can I stop, y'all?

If I had to guess, I would say her hypothesis is based on your blatant lack of attention to detail, as demonstrated by your erroneous prefix...

Unless, of course, you made this screen name BEFORE you became ProVallone's wife...
