I watched that movie (I'm Not There) over two days, and I think that messes with my enjoyment of the movie. I was into the first half, then the next day I wasn't in the mood, so I didn't like it.

I just finished watching In Bruges last night, in the same manner. Was into the first half, bored during the second ...... although that probably was because I was still online, chatting via AIM.

I should go have alcohol and see what bizarre trains of thought I have then. But I actually plan to go to bed in a few minutes.

There is alcohol in my system right now, and the trains of thought are more or less the same as what they were before. Just the time and atmosphere, I guess.

okay...picture this: a concert with TWO big name acts (well, big for this casino) on a holiday weekend. here's the question. do you think, given that the concert is this saturday, that we'd have any tickets left? much less any free tickets?

Principal Skinner is an old man who lives at the school.

The movie was pretentious. Bob Dylan never saved a village from being turned into a freeway, literally or figuratively.

The hell now?

I love this exchange from the Simpsons episode with Lisa and the spelling bee. She won the school's bee, and Skinner tries to give her a prize, a "model" of the planet Mars.

Lisa: This is just a red rubber ball with "Mars" written on it.

Skinner: Behold! The red planet!

HA!

The only good scene:

Homer: Okay, once more. Where are we going?
Edna: To Capital City.
Homer: And why are you and the old lady in the car?
Agnes: We're gonna talk Arman Tamzarian into coming back.
Homer: And why is Marge here?
Marge: I came up with the idea.
Homer: And why am I here?
Marge: Because the streets of Capital City are no place for three unescorted ladies.
Homer: Why are the kids here?
Marge: Because we couldn't find Grandpa to sit for them.
Homer: Why is Grandpa here?
Abe: Because Jasper didn't want to come by himself!
Homer: Huh, fair enough.

Both of these =

I have the first 6 seasons on DVD (thank you, used crap on Amazon!) and intend to get at least another few seasons. Not sure even what season it is now, and when I stopped being interested in the show.

Actually, there's probably still some alcohol in my system too, but not much. I had a solitary glass of sauvignon blanc/semillion earlier.

I swear, that wine just doesn't have enough substance. I like sweeter wines, I drink port for goodness' sake, but it just tastes like vaguely alcoholic grape juice rather than a good wine. Though it did go well with camembert cheese on crackers when I was getting smashed during the rugby last week.

The hell now?

I'm completely serious. Richard Gere plays an aging woodsman version of Bob Dylan who saves a town from danger.

The film sucked, if you're curious.

The Richard Gere segments were the only segments I ignored completely.

... the hell now! That's just ridiculous.

The Chaser did a half-decent parody of ads for it on The War On Everything, but that's all I really know of it.

i know. it's the same reason that anyone expects us to have rooms this weekend, i think.

I'm sooooooooo close to finishing off the Coldplay script. So close.

Chris Martin: Hey, you stupid kids, get off my lawn! I'm Bono!

Edge: Sorry to wake you up so early (noon), Bono, but we need to get to work on re-recording the new songs.

Chris Martin: No big deal, mate. I've been awake for hours, taking advantage of the awesome power I wield as Bono.

Edge: Ah, the usual, eh?

To be fair, it's not all like that. 6 different actors play different parts of Bob Dylan's personality. Approximately 3 of them have something to do with Bob Dylan.

Hey, Ms I'm-on-IM-but-I'm-at-work-hurrr, do you check your e-mails at work?

I do hope it doesn't kill us/Rob with awesome.

me? yeah.

i also have google talk

I'm willing to go to season 9 since it has the U2 episode, no further.

 

[Axver]

me? yeah.

Cool, just wanted to e-mail you re: DI stuff. Look out for something in a few minutes.

And I only use AIM.

Is google less conspicuous than msn? I had msn at a job many moons ago and I was always so paranoid about it that everytime I'd get up from my desk I would sign out.

not that anyone cares but I think the Casino episode may be my all-time favorite Simposons episode...

"Bart, I don't want to alarm you but there may be a boogieman or boogiemen in the house!"

The only monster here is the gambling monster that has enslaved your mother! I call him Gamblor, and it's time to snatch your mother from his neon claws!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

GAMBLOR!

LOL!

...and remember that time I let that escaped lunatic in the house because he was dressed like Santa Claus?

 

[LemonMelon]

Rob made it into the episode, BTW.

CMart: Hey, guys. I'm Bono, lead singer of the rock band U2. We wrote a song that inspired Yellow.

Edge: Yeah, we know. You've told us three times today. How were the glasses?

CMart: Not idealistic enough. Plus, they were a little small for my head.

Adam: Figures.

CMart: Why don't we quickly pack this up and get going...

Rob: Hi, my name is Rob! I'm your biggest fan, Mr. Martin! I have this friend who thinks that U2 and Coldplay sound alike, but I told him that he was crazy. You guys are cracking! Do you think you're in any way inspired by Bono?

CMart: Uhhh...I don't like talking about things. Besides, I am Bono, and I'm in quite a hurry.

Rob: [looking unsure and dejected] Whatever you say, Chris Martin...[walks away]

Edge: That damn Coldplay is getting too popular for their own good. It seems more people get you two confused every day.

LMP gets a partial writing credit for this part. He came up with the basic concept, and I wrote the dialogue.

 

[Axver]

I'm trying to remember my favourite Simpsons episode and I can't. Fuck you, 4:20am, for shutting my brain down.

It's probably the monorail one though.

Smithers: And these jars of urine?

Mr. Burns: Oh no ... we'll keep those.
