here comes the weekend: david letterman apperances, but only ones where he’s acting
| written by asterios on 09/30/06 | 1 comment |
hey, welcome to the weekend. spend your time relaxing with these clips, or showing them to girls at parties, so you can get with them. whatever you want, we’re pretty okay with it. these clips will show david letterman, but solely through his apperances in films and television that exclude the late night (or that early morning) show.
the biggest, but the best? letterman confuses a cabin boy in cabin boy.
david letterman and a young michael jackson in a comedy sketch from ‘77.
And that’s it!

2nd letter to disney, re: launchpad’s inclusion in multiple disney afternoon programs

dear disney:
do you expect me, a loyal duck tales and disloyal darkwing duck viewer, to believe that launchpad mcquack would be hired by the richest duck in the world and then a superhero? not only is mcquack incompetent, but he repeatedly gets the world’s most important ducks into dangerous situations. i can only draw the conclusion that scrooge mcduck fired his sorry ass and that’s how he ended up working for darkwing duck.
i cannot, however, believe that darkwing duck, would not at least conduct a reference check. perhaps these important ducks have some hidden death wish and hope that mcquacks shoddy piloting skills will one day kill them. i don’t know the inner-physiology of scrooge or darkwing, what i do know is that you (disney) are doing a terrible job justifying launchpad. he crashes his airplane in every episode.
what self-respecting man would put his daughter/nephews into harms way in a week-daily fashion? in the real world mcquack would be fired for incompetence, develop a gambling problem and then wind up dead in some guy’s trunk.
but you aren’t interested in the real world or it’s repercussions. instead, disney, you are justifying careless behavior to children and future pilots all over the world. for shame disney, for shame.
Signed,
deeply disappointed
p.s. tale spin sucks.

things college movies failed to teach us
| written by rob on 09/29/06 | leave a comment |
video: enjoy the trailer to “revenge of the nerds”, which is funnier than you’d think it’d be.
water bills. we pay for water.
plantains and bananas: two separate fruits.
women’s liberation was a real event and not one staged to make tv movies more engaging.
college and high school: same thing, except now I can wear sandals to class if I so choose.
according to an imprint on my dorm closet, “rahoul wuz Here.” he occupied my tiny dorm room sometime in the mid-nineties. from the exclamation point following his statement i can gather he was proud that he was randomly assigned to a dorm room that his parents paid for on the non-smoking floor.
not only did george washington not chop down a cherry tree, he never even owned an axe.
though philosophy has taught me that I do not exist, the rules of invisibility do not apply to me.
bleach = poison. poison = bad.
according to college movies, any argument with a girl can be fixed via teddy bear, rose or any conjunction of the two, this is inaccurate.

bobby brown: “take control” of your sucky video
| written by geoffrey on 09/28/06 | leave a comment |
first of all, bobby brown’s “on our own” is one of the best songs ever made. anyone who thinks differently needs to either get:
- a clue.
- a punch in the face.
- bent.
in addition, it’s the theme to ghostbusters 2, a film in which the statue of liberty walks via a nintendo controller and goo. amazing. so, what’s my problem?
the music video. for the song. is terrible. the parade of cameos is great: rick moranis, donald trump, christopher fucking reeves. bobby brown is in top form: he’s dancing, rapping, and hip-hopping (he’s a triple threat). again, this is one of the best songs of all time. but in a movie filled with action, such as ghosts running amok in new york city, all the dancing and fun in the video is confined to tiny fake video windows inside still landscapes. it’s like a train wreck between an awesome 90’s hip-hop clip and a boring art film, where you see a still-life video of a tireyard that plays on a 40 minute loop. ghaa!
how could this happen? shouldn’t bobby brown be fighting ghosts? or singing with ghosts? or doing something — anything! — with GHOSTS!! i’m bored watching the music video to one of my favorite songs. it’s more disappointing than re-watching camp candy and realizing how terrible it was.
ugh. i’d write to someone and complain, but who’d still listen? bobby brown is pretty much dead… i guess i could write to bill murray and cc dan aykroyd and harold ramis. but i like those guys, so i don’t blame them. god. no one takes any responsibility anymore.

the f.h.e. logo was, and still is, kinda creepy
| written by geoffrey on 09/28/06 | leave a comment |
watching tapes of the ninja turtles at my grandma’s house? awesome. my grandma rules.
watching the family home entertainment logo at the beginning of each tape? not cool, man. not cool at all.
this opening sequence has always given me bad vibes. there’s something about the slowness of the writing, the weird, drawn out synth music, and the way the orange attacks the screen at the beginning. it’s not scary, just off-putting. like when you’re on a first date with a girl, and things are going really well, until she says something very racist — and it’s not a joke. you’re not frightened, but you immediately want to leave.
luckily, the ninja turtles sprang up from the sewers immediately afterwards and saved me from the strange opening / girl who says she doesn’t hate hispanics, but obviously does. in fact, let’s all watch the ninja turtles opening right now, to wash the bad f.h.e. taste out of our mouths.
ahh. much better. thank you, turtles. now fight krang!
