now a study in moppishness

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

so i watched ‘better off dead’ last night and i was surprised to see a very familiar scene…

don’t get it? well this’ll jog your memory:

i always wondered where the hell that reference came from — now i know… i still don’t get why they do it in the movie… tho it was made in a time where making fun of asians was hip and cool (like sixteen candles?)

here’s the line:

“Truly, a sight to behold. A man, beaten. The once great champ, now a study in moppishness. No longer the victory hungry stallion we’ve raced so many times before, but a pathetic, washed-up, aged ex-champion.”

i’m on to you, family guy…

spot the movies

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

i found this really cool art print online where the artist drew a bunch of items in a pile. all the items are from “famous” movies…

so this has been a really long email chain, but we’re stuck on the last few…

instead of giving you the answers off the bat, let’s see if you can get some — i have a guess that tim will be really good at this…

open the pod bay doors, hal

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

this new movie looks pretty sick: moon

vertigo-inducing movie poster

from the trailer, i’d say it’s like 2001, minus the boring parts — it even has a HAL type character that uses various smiley faces to show emotion

i forget how mark described sam rockwell — like a poor man’s dax shepard [imdb] maybe?

how can you NOT watch a movie where the phrase “tour de force” is used?

1%?! good lord! how about 1 rib!

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

for those of you who do not know what that title means:

anyway… today’s the last day (in california) to buy stuff at the 7.75% sales tax… in most cities, sales tax will increase by 1% to 8.75% — but some cities will be higher (like LA) — check out the other cities (thanks to the oc register)

so if you’ve been thinking about buying something or other… it’s best to do it now to get the most out of your money…

i was also thinkin’ about it — some people use the outdated method of tipping their waiter/waitress by doubling the tax (that’s kinda crap by the way — that’d only tip the person 15.5%… lookin’ out for you, greg)

so now with a 8.75% tax (and higher), you’ll be doing the slightly better 17.5% tip… food for thought (no pun intended)
