I'MMA LET YOU FINISH

GravatarNo way! And Scifi liveblogging too!


GravatarOh yeah, baby...


GravatarI hate you NTodd. I was supposed to be frist!


GravatarI'm only partially out of the loop!


GravatarMena--no loop to be in. You just gotta let great art wash over you!


GravatarScifi liveblogging? Damn, I'm too tired.


GravatarSorry, Sallyh. I excel at fucking up other people's shit.


GravatarSo we open with the death of a damned fool...


GravatarNTodd--almost forgot. You're an only. That means, me first, always!


GravatarAnd having pissed off Sallyh, thus condemning myself to nothing but cherry pie for all eternity, I bid you all a good night. Gotta lotta work to do tomorrow.


GravatarBe sure to catch the NYT piece online tonight revealing what a colossal failure the "efforts" to fix the armorment problems for the deployed troops has been. It's criminal, really. Please read it.

GravatarNight NTodd! I'll save you some cookies


GravatarTHREAD REPLINSHMENT! O, the Splendor!

GravatarGet rid of those annoying pop up classified ads! Are you a blogger or a spammer? That's as low as the quality of your site comments. Really, shouldn't you be above this kind of thing?


GravatarWe need amul;et,atrios delivers

All hail Atrios!


GravatarSallyh: Night NTodd! I'll save you some cookies

Meanwhile, Bebe Rebozo will same him some glickert santorum.
.


GravatarUm, do we have *any* understanding of why his dad just cut himself loose? Was he really *that* eager to see a tornado from the inside?


GravatarOkay, who reads letters out loud?


Gravatartrying to save the kid


GravatarSorry, Sallyh. I excel at fucking up other people's shit.
NTodd -- 9:24 pm


'spect you'll wanna sign on for a tour of perimeter duty, then...that's the kinda stuff's gonna be needed...
.


GravatarSilly Sallyh. Of course there is, there's ALWAYS a loop. The wonderful thing about here is that it's so fluid.

Now, what does that preacher look like?


GravatarHector the Crow: Get rid of those annoying pop up classified ads!

Get a real browser, clown!
.


GravatarGet rid of those annoying pop up classified ads! Are you a blogger or a spammer?

Maybe you should just have some kind o prophylactic.

Dou! I forget,christian lions don't use protection.


GravatarMeanwhile, Bebe Rebozo will same him some glickert santorum.

Lemony glickert or jiminy glickert?


GravatarHector would be better as some lovely sirloins, marinated in a fine sauce of vinegar, honey, soy sauce, sesame pepper sauce, kimchee and garlic.


Gravatartrying to save the kid

Strange way to go about it... Unless he thought the kid would finally go into the shelter if Dad let himself get sucked up...


GravatarNight NTodd!


GravatarEli: Lemony glickert or jiminy glickert?

The latter; I'm flattered you'd remember!
.


GravatarLet the bad movie bloggers have their own room downstairs. Ahhhhh, fresh air.


GravatarNow, what does that preacher look like?

Young and wild-eyed, with long hair, I think.

Since the main character's going to Romania, he might be a throwaway, unless the main character has to pick his brain for scriptural advice on how to combat devil tornadoes.


GravatarI need to go smoke a bowl, but if Hector comes back, tell him to blow me.


GravatarHector would be better as some lovely sirloins, marinated in a fine sauce of vinegar, honey, soy sauce, sesame pepper sauce, kimchee and garlic.

GravatarOh no. Are there going to be exorcisms?


GravatarUm, technically, Hannibal isn't really sci-fi...


GravatarHannibal was a terrible flick.


GravatarWhat happens when Big Brother gets outwitted by the unions?
...Erm, not a shedload. But that's precisely why I LMAO'd.


Gravatar'Spect i'll twist up a pretty faat one, pour a large dollop of scotch, and retire to tv-land for a while (i dont have wireless, and tv's in another room): Part three of Into The West...

GravatarHad to deal for a moment.

It's too late for Sci-Fi, isn't it?

Tornadoes! Damn...


.


GravatarThis reporter lady sure is spunky!


GravatarOh no. Are there going to be exorcisms?

Only if you behave and eat all your vegetables (especially the green pea soup).


GravatarWho did the musical score for this flick, anyway?

That person needs to spend eternity roasting.

GravatarHannibal: crossed over the Alps with elephants, then killed them and ate them with fava beans....


GravatarOo! A kid, a self-sacrificing, boneheaded dad, a wild-eyed preacher man, and a spunky girl reporter. Sounds promising!


GravatarTrue love, at first bite!


Gravatar"I'm in love!"


GravatarOnly if you behave and eat all your vegetables (especially the green pea soup).
==

Yes, Eli.


Gravatar Oo! A kid, a self-sacrificing, boneheaded dad, a wild-eyed preacher man, and a spunky girl reporter. Sounds promising!

Just bear in mind that with the possible exception of the preacher, they're all played by blocks of wood.


Uh-oh! A mysterious gypsy hottie!

And she's dressed all in green, so there's kind of a Star Trek vibe as well.


GravatarHannibal: crossed over the Alps with elephants, then killed them and ate them with fava beans.... and a nice chianti, ththththththth.

GravatarSorry for my stupidity, but how do I get one of those new icons? I want ne that looks like Keith Richard smoking.


GravatarA kid, a self-sacrificing, boneheaded dad, a wild-eyed preacher man, and a spunky girl reporter.

Naa, the kid grew up to be our hero.


GravatarDraco - gravatar.com. Apparently.


GravatarGypsies dancing, late to te new one as usual and "no camera" and "you have to tell me my fortune"

spooky shit is afoot, no doubt about it.
.


GravatarNaa, the kid grew up to be our hero.

But his acting ability improved only marginally.

It's especially disturbing because he looks like David Strathairn, so I keep thinking he *should* be a good actor...


GravatarDeath,But not for you,gunslinger!


Gravatar"Or, at the very least, I want to fuck her brains out."

???????


GravatarShe's touching his amulet! She's touching his amulet!


GravatarMena--my impression of the guy staring at the green gypsy girl.


Gravatar"Which side are you on? Good or evil? God or the devil?"

And then some mystical stuff about reality and dead people and chess pieces and there are no accidents.


GravatarShe's touching his amulet

If he's on the side of good,its all good.

If he's on the side of evil, well.....


GravatarI hate you NTodd. I was supposed to be frist!
Sallyh

all hail NTodd, he's everywhere. he must be a god, or a devil.

we report, you decide.


GravatarVote in the latest MSNBC poll (Close Gitmo?), my bitches!!!


GravatarOoo, he's the chosen one! The one who must stand up to the wind!

Man, these gypsy prophecies are pretty impressively specific.


Gravatar"You are not the chosen one!"


Gravatar--my impression of the guy staring at the green gypsy girl.

Ahhh. Does she have Bangles?


Gravatardoes the green gypsy girl have a little dog and a picnic basket?


Gravatar"Get out!"


GravatarITTTTSSS!


EVIL!


GravatarDamn, I actually called the next card as "tower of destruction." Gott un da davil must be use me as pawn in game.
-


GravatarMena--yep.


GravatarGravatar "You are not the chosen one!"

Nah, he has the amulet. He's the chosen one. They just don't know it yet. His dad probably was a gypsy, and just never told him.


Gravatar Ooo, he's the chosen one! The one who must stand up to the wind!
Eli


But only if Rove promises not to spit while blowing his hot air.


GravatarSpork--just started!

Ok! Powerbook running, DirectTV on, glasses on, and...is there some clouds?

DirectTV is cutting out. Some Gypsy chick is saying "get out!"


.


GravatarI dub this new mystical symbol: "Asteristika".


Gravatar"Did you get some footage of this spiritual connection?"


GravatarGreat link, dk,

The Pentagon has repeatedly said no vehicle leaves camp without armor. But according to military records and interviews with officials, about half of the Army's 20,000 Humvees have improvised shielding that typically leaves the underside unprotected, while only one in six Humvees used by the Marines is armored at the highest level of protection.

Sweet baby Jeepers. The Iraqis, meanwhile, are riding in unarmored, open trucks. Yep. Let them take over their own country. How can they when their lives are so expendable? I hate Bu$hCo.


Gravatar"Did you get some footage of this spiritual connection?"

Would you settle for some inchage?


GravatarHi guys... oh, liveblogging that Sci-fi Channel movie thing, right.

Well... I guess I'll catch you later, then... have fun...

(turns and slowly walks away, scuffing shoes and kicking at invisible pebbles)

And now, back to liveblogging!

GravatarLightening bugs!

Or are endo fo the world scenarios that difficult to make up?

Damn, the beer just goes right through anymore..

Anyway, Iwas totally going to say this sounds like a red herring. Am I right....?


GravatarRe chess pieces, as Eli mentioned, is anyone here any good at the game? I've studied it for years and can't get the hang. Thr people who beat me say I'm too aggressive and pursue too many bad moves. They say "cover your ass."


GravatarI want ne that looks like Keith Richard smoking.

if you find that, then there will be 3 i like, hectates, rorschachs, and Dracos.

but if i find it first...

oh, and since avatars have become such a topic of discussion, be sure to check out billmon.


GravatarAvacor...you'd think there were middle aged bald guys watching this channel.

Hot cookies, all.


GravatarAnyway, Iwas totally going to say this sounds like a red herring. Am I right....?

He is so totally the chosen one. I mean, why else would his dad be so obsessed with tornadoes, f'rinstance?


GravatarBruce Hoffman has been researching terrorism and insurgency for nearly thirty years. He is presently Director of the RAND Corporation Washington, DC Office. From 2001 to 2004, he served as RAND’s Vice President for External Affairs and in 2004 as Acting Director of RAND’s Center for Middle East Public Policy. During the Spring of 2004 Dr. Hoffman was also Senior Adviser on Counterterrorism to the Office of National Security Affairs, Coalition Provisional Authority, Baghdad, Iraq.


GravatarThey say "cover your ass

Funny,thats what we need to be doing on an everyday basis.

But, I do love to play chess.I haowever,am not an expert.


GravatarHecate sez:

Lightening bugs!

Kewl! None here yet.


.


GravatarSpeaking of chess...
Does anyone here think Bush equates the "War on Terror" to a game of Gnip Gnop?


Gravatar"Post Impact" The NEW all bran cereal!

Hits those impacted bowels like a meteor hitting the Yucatan!


GravatarDoes anyone here think Bush equates the "War on Terror" to a game of Gnip Gnop?

Not really sure. Domestic policy is more like Hungry Hungry Hippos.


GravatarDamn Haloscan!

That was supposed to say:

Lightening bugs! For those of us who are so easily amused we don't even need the SciFi channel!


GravatarSign of the gypsey queen,pack your things and leave.


GravatarCagy phone conversation with sexy gypsy fortuneteller, who seems to have some kind of special invisible gypsyphone.

Man, is that a fake-looking moon...


Ooo, demonic chanting red monks!


GravatarWeird priest type dude.


GravatarEvil Monks! You know they're evil, 'cause they use an echo chamber for their chanting, for that EXTRAEVIL™ effect!


Gravatar"You should worry now!"

"Why?"

"To beat the rush!"


Gravatar"just like Hitler..."

the mark of mediocrity, right there.


GravatarRe chess pieces, as Eli mentioned, is anyone here any good at the game?
Draco


Mid-level club player here. You ever try Fred Renfield's The Complete Chess Course or one of the Chessmaster programs? They have some good drills that help to show how to evaluate your own position so you can prevent tactical weaknesses.

Uh-oh, "Da power ub da dabbil" again. Back to the show.

GravatarI cant get up,I have a piss hard on.You'll have to leave the room...


GravatarSo she's the Sexy News Babe, instead of the Sexy Science Babe?


Gravatar"Not really sure. Domestic policy is more like Hungry Hungry Hippos."

I loved that game! Mademoiselle, Monsieur and I played it ad nauseum. That, and Shark Attack Bowling.


GravatarWell, the effing satellite reception is hosed. I can't see this fine film.

Dammit.

GravatarDamn! This sounds like the greatest movie in the history of cinema. I can only imagine the haunting soundtrack.


Gravatarinstead of the Sexy Science Babe


I hardly think theres much science in this flick.


GravatarWelcome... to The Hall... Of Devil Tornadoes.


GravatarWElcome to the Chaucescu Arms Hotel!


Gravatar"Gypsies have had a big hand in shaving my life..."

Isn't the cameraman asking hostile questions kinda a bigtime faux pas?


GravatarEvil Smoking Prime Minister!

We are ONTO you, Evil Smoking Man!


GravatarSpork--stay on thread, eat popcorn and cookies, drink beer and Dr. Pepper--you won't miss a thing!


GravatarWith a resounding "Derrrr..," I just realized that Mr. Interior Minister is also the evil echoing monk.

GravatarWell, I'm just waiting until Samurai Champloo comes on....


GravatarChris T--is that the name of the hotel on the edge of Catholic Town USA?


GravatarEvening, sluts!


GravatarIf it weren't for Hecate's Lightening Bugs I'd be really sad.

Gravatar Evil Monks! You know they're evil, 'cause they use an echo chamber for their chanting, for that EXTRAEVIL™ effect!

Don't you be hating on no monks, now. Prior A may take offence.


Gravatar With a resounding "Derrrr..," I just realized that Mr. Interior Minister is also the evil echoing monk.

Wow, just like in Satan's Cheerleaders!


GravatarLightning?!?


GravatarYou might think the state of jounalism sucks in the states...


Well no shit bitch.


GravatarDon't you be hating on no monks, now. Prior A may take offence.

Does Prior A use an echo chamber and wear red robes?


GravatarChris T--in the old X Files series, I thought the Smoking Bastard was cool.


Gravatar"Wow, just like in Satan's Cheerleaders!"

Did they have the short skirts that you could look up?


GravatarGravatar Chris T--in the old X Files series, I thought the Smoking Bastard was cool.

In *this* movie, however...

On the other hand, I think he's the best actor we've got here.


GravatarFielding M--I've studied all kinds of chess openings, but I just can't stick to them I always understand the conservative advantages, then want to jump ahead for a quick kill, which never works out. I could never be a player like Karpov who exploits some tiny advantage over 100 moves.


GravatarSallyh sez:

stay on thread, eat popcorn and cookies, drink beer and Dr. Pepper--you won't miss a thing!

OK! I'll have to do vodka but I'm counting on you guys.

Describe for me bad movie hell!


.


GravatarSallyh, I'm thinking of "The Happy Host Hotel" Hourly Rates, Free TV, Pool, Complimentary Crackers and Wine in EVERY room!


GravatarDid they have the short skirts that you could look up?

A lot of the time that wasn't really even necessary...

And keep an eye out for the football coach, who is just epically terrible.


Gravatarspeaking of minions ofd the darksside, are Satan's Pilgrims still playing? one cool surf band, they.


GravatarChris T--that'd work. Is linen done daily?


GravatarWow, just like in Satan's Cheerleaders!

Was that the one with Mrs. Munster? Now, there's a classic.

GravatarLightening bugs! For those of us who are so easily amused we don't even need the SciFi channel

I have one floating around my den even as we type. Trying to rescue the critter and return it to the "wild" before my cat and dogs go stark, raving mad. The great outdoors is full of them tonight. Lovely.


GravatarNot to intrrupt this fine film,but as I was driving home this afternoon,I was listening to AAR and "ring of fire" with Bobby Kennedy.

THey were talking about this

A New York money manager did nothing wrong when it lost more than $281-million for the Florida state pension fund by buying Enron stock as the energy giant imploded, a Leon County jury found Monday.


THey had made connections from this trial thru Jeb's failure to pick compentant council on the trial of enron's theivery of Florida's pention funds,all the wway up to junior and everyone in between.

I thought it was an excellent peic and one that I have not heard much of anywhere.

Its an amazing story.


GravatarOMG, Hannibal. What an AWFUL film!

The book was MUCH better!


Gravatar"Satan's Cheerleaders"?

I found that on Usenet.

I mean, a friend found that on Usenet.

A friend.


.


GravatarWas that the one with Mrs. Munster? Now, there's a classic.

That's the one.

It still pales in comparison to Love Butcher, which may be my all-time favorite.


GravatarRummy, an Evil Monk?

Mr Rumsfeld replied: “You sense the American people are tipping away from support. I have a feeling they're getting pushed.”
“If you're facing a head wind, you got two choices. You can turn around and go downwind or you can there stand there and go into the wind, and that's what needs to be done,” he said.


GravatarDa, da! Ducanto no here no more!


GravatarHecate--

Wonderful lightning bugs this morning -- & yesterday as well -- peak must be around solstice (which ought to be easy to remember -- Nativity of St. John Baptist for us Xian types)

Can anyone bribe Atrios to fudge the template to restore email addresses?

Did people check out the Salon piece on what our war has done to increase the teenage Iraqi prostitute market? Depressing as hell, but well worth watching an add to read.

Gravatar Lightning?!?

Yep. Around here we swallow the "E" in lightening bugs. Ergo, lightning bugs!


GravatarWow,times new roman on a headstone.


GravatarEVIL GRAVEYARD, with your EVIL squeaking hinges!

I fear you NOT!

Nor do I fear your pre-recorded wolf howls and hoot owls!


GravatarToday Mr. Tomlinson is chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, the federal body that supervises all nonmilitary international United States propaganda outlets, Voice of America included. That the administration's foremost propagandist would also be chairman of the board of CPB, the very organization meant to shield public broadcasting from government interference, is astonishing. But perhaps no more so than a White House press secretary month after month turning for softball questions to "Jeff Gannon," a fake reporter for a fake news organization ultimately unmasked as a G.O.P. activist's propaganda site.


Frank Rich is just as good as always. Have I mentioned today that I hate Bush? We say it so often it becomes trite, but he really is trying to subvert our democracy.


GravatarWhere the hell did they get that AWFUL CGI Moon?

See, this is what pisses me off - when they use CGI when THEY DON'T NEED TO.

Like the CGI wolves in The Day After Tomorrow. Why not just use the real thing?


GravatarJeffraham--how're my boys tonight?

GravatarFancy party, violin music, dudes in tuxes.


GravatarSee how evil I am, I smoke at the party, caring not whose nostrils I offend with my course tobacco!


GravatarAre we ever to see licorice-toothed Eyegor again? His charade for "crazy" is the highlight of the movie so far.

GravatarThat's not a moon--it's a SPACE STATION!


GravatarFancy party, violin music, dudes in tuxes.

And one drowned rat cameraman, about to get dosed.


GravatarRight,like that guy is really going to get in that ballroom dressed like that.


GravatarWhat time will The Chosen One fuck the Green Gypsy Girl? 3 minute frames, please.


Gravatarvery funny mark fiore cartoon at cbs(!) about rewriting reality:

GravatarDid people check out the Salon piece on what our war has done to increase the teenage Iraqi prostitute market? Depressing as hell, but well worth watching an add to read.

Read it and wept. We have the most amoral government preaching *values* to the entire world. It's Alice In Wonderland all the time.


Gravatar Have I mentioned today that I hate Bush? We say it so often it becomes trite, but he really is trying to subvert our democracy.

tis true. they have seized power. and being more pissed off by the minute was not just a cute addition to my moniker. i mean it. most just prefer to not think about it. that's kind of dangerous.


GravatarThis fucking movie is all over the place.Yet saying not a dam thing.


TORNADO'S


We wwant tornado's


Gravatar What time will The Chosen One fuck the Green Gypsy Girl? 3 minute frames, please.

Well, it's between her and Spunky Reporter, I guess. He'll hook up with *one* of them by 10:40.

GravatarI have some google alerts set up for downing street in various search combinations...

I hate to say it, but new "news" on downing has slowed to almost a hault.

If so what are we going to do about it?

Has anyone heard about any new progress from Conyers?


GravatarIt was all a dream, and you were there and you were there and you were there!

Oh, and EVIL SATANIC TORNADOES were there, too!


Gravatar"This fucking movie is all over the place.Yet saying not a dam thing."

You didn't come here looking for elements such as plot, did you?


GravatarI've been listening to my old vinyl from the 70s today. I don't like the thought that I'm an old geezer, but it really does seem to me that the music then was more innovative and informative. I mean, They fooled around more. The things I listened to were Eno, Roxy Music and John Cale, if that's any help.

My fave thing hearing today was Cale's Beach Boys tribute, Mr. Wilson, including the beautifully sung line "Wales is not at all like Californ-eye-yay."


GravatarSallyh: You didn't come here looking for elements such as plot, did you?

That's kind of like what the bear said to the hunter, after raping him each time he'd missed his killshot... "You don't really come here for the huntin', do ya?"
.


GravatarIn the shtupping pool, I take the nutty fortune teller at 10:27. This movie might actually deliver a James Bondian double dip, in which case the intrepid reporter receives her package just prior to the end credits.

GravatarSo, who wants to see Sexy Reporter Babe in her underwear?

How about seeing Sexy Gypsy Chick in her underwear?

How about both of them in their underware at the same time?

Along with a quart bottle of baby oil?


GravatarIn the shtupping pool, I take the nutty fortune teller at 10:27. This movie might actually deliver a James Bondian double dip, in which case the intrepid reporter receives her package just prior to the end credits.

I think it might hinge on whether he turns out to really be a gypsy or not.

Thanks to the Big Dick asshating around, the WH making a scene over Durbin's misquoted remarks and invented *scandals* involving anti-American Dems. It is all too depressing for words.

Backslider loves the wonder of the Mississippi Delta, though without the rednecks, if you please.

Central Scrutinizer loves a witty turn of a phrase and the fact that he had a lifelong friend in an old tree.

EkCenTrik loves the fact that he has survived a lot of nasty Rethug assaults in his lifetime and has emerged only semi-scathed.

MERKIN PATRIOT loves to play the fool.

FourLegsGood loves those who sometimes can't get along without some unconditional help.

wŇÓ† loves really freaky looking, yet gorgeous avians.

So, if we all get nekkid and jump in a pile, can somebody phone up Des, please?

P.S.

Toby, Gordon the Magnificent, ether, all of the troll chain-gang:

Take out the Bush refuse on your way out of the popular approval building, please.


Gravatar"Fellow red robed, evil dudes! Was that bitching or what?"


GravatarOK, is this film making ANY sense whatsoever?

I keep expecting some giant Mummy or something to come waltzing by.


GravatarDoes anyone have *any* idea what the hairy madman was saying? I got the impression that vitally important plot exposition was given to a completely incoherent looney.

Kinda like in Dead Again where they gave it to Andy Garcia, who has the worst diction in all of Hollywood.


GravatarWow. Totally left out.


GravatarHow do we get to the "schtupping pool"? Is this like a Reform mikvah?

I once had a Conservative (Jewish) girlfriend -- her word for Reform Jews was "goy" (don't ask why she was me -- I honestly never figured it out myself)

(Just asking)

GravatarDoes anyone have *any* idea what the hairy madman was saying?

None.


GravatarYeah, Sexy Gypsy Chick just showed up!


GravatarDraco, I'm a huge John Cale fan. Folks like him and Eno don't come around that often.

There's still good, genre-breaking stuff out there--but the major labels aren't publishing it. Mike Keneally is an example: a blazing guitarist making recordings full of surprises--and he's on labels like Immune and Exowax. And how are you going to know he even exists--unless someone like me tells you?

But I recommend epitonic.com: all sorts of odd, edgy bznds and people--and free .mp3 downloads.


GravatarI suppose it's hopelessly too late to catch up?


GravatarHopefully sexy gypsy lady is more coherent than hairy madman... Is better-looking, anyway.

Also, these two are totally gonna get fired.

SciFi has a LONG way to go to top the spectacle of a 50-foot wicker man frantically going nowhere in particular while an acromegalic lackey shouts "Ah-man!" from the cockpit. My friends, I fear we shall not see its like again. *snif*

Zack Wheat


Boy, Howdy. That was a really good rant. Well done.


Gravatar"Dude, crappy knockoff of Neo's coat from the Matrix sequels!"


Gravatarwhile an acromegalic lackey shouts "Ah-man!" from the cockpit.

Wouldn't the cockpit be... lower?


GravatarUh-oh, we have the impure blood action. We're in trouble now!


Gravatar Wow. Totally left out.
Meander


Not EVEN! Don't you go meandering into that territory.


GravatarJust to recap: Six not good!


GravatarRove says that liberals don't get 9/11. I guess he forgot that his boss is the current world record holder for "not getting it". He clinched it when he just sat in that school room while we were being attacked.


GravatarFielding, yeah, that pretty much defined random!


GravatarSo our cameraman is an ex-SEAL or Green Beret or something?


GravatarYour knife-fu is weak!


Gravatar"Didja see what I did, just then? I was so TOTALLY like 'Deathrace 2000' on their asses! That was wicked awsome!"


Gravatarbkny,

Good 'Toon, but you may want to run spybot or Lavasoft after downloading it. Just a word of caution, dear one.


GravatarIs this scene *supposed* to be comedy?


GravatarThink they can stretch out the driving and phoning scenes for another 19 minutes?
-


Gravatar"Who was that on the phone?"

"Some crazy lady taking about stopping Zorro's horse."


GravatarI cannot believe they played the watermelon card...


Gravatar"Dance, gypsies, DANCE!"


GravatarWell, it's past 10:40 and no-one's hooked up with anyone...


GravatarAnd seriously, where does a cameraman learn to fight like that?


Gravatar"My EVIL helicopter!"


GravatarInterleaving vital plot exposition with shots of the hot Mistress of The Tarot issuing evacuation instructions. Now there's some cutting-edge editing.
-


GravatarI think it's going to be a last-minute thank-God-it's-all-over smooch with the reporter babe.


GravatarI would SO do the Hot Gypsy Chick!

Just saying...


GravatarI would SO do the Hot Gypsy Chick!

I'm afraid that that's simply axiomatic.


GravatarAllright, Lie to Me done.

Now for Passion.

(Jenny Callender...Nooo...I)


.


Gravatar"NEVER touch another dude's amulet!"


GravatarWOAH! Hot Gypsy Chick bellybutton!


GravatarSaid it on the wrong thread: I've totally lost my crystalline grip on the intricate plot here. But it's actually better this way.


Gravatar"You, you can touch my amulet."


GravatarWell, that blew!

Ha ha! I made a joke!


Gravatar Well, that blew!

Groan. I've got to say that we may have just witnessed the worst SciFi movie ever.
-


GravatarMan, I miss so much by not having TV.


GravatarLatest FaBlog: A Little Red Rose


GravatarI'm just 15 minutes into this horrible tornado movie...although the movie is one hour, 15 minutes into itself.

It looks pretty damn bad.

But I might have nothing else to watch here...

Oh fuck. Stone Phillips talking about the Da Vinci code.

Kill me.

Back to tornadoes!


GravatarHey,
I just wanted to let people know about a scoop powered, open source, independent TV/Video web community that's coming online soon and is looking for contributors. Imagine DailyKos (community control and content rating) with video! Anyone interested in creating (or watching) empowering television or in breaking the corporate strangle-hold on video, please check it out. Thanks

Our temporary home - http://www.upstarttv.typepad.com/


GravatarWARNING: On the subject of honesty and resonsibility, but off topic. I have TWICE been burned by Impeach .org. After paying for bumper stickers, they were never delivered and they will NOT answer my emails of inquiry and protest.
Any one else having trouble with them? We all want impeachment, but Impeach.org is being slimy.


Gravatarwhat happened to this site. i just read about it for the first time, and it appears to have been dead for the past 6 months. what happened to everyone in the room with joe trippi agreeing to keep the fight going?
