Re: [ILoveIshtar] Re:Recommendation: WALK HARD: The Dewey Cox Story

This is fun!

My wife and I really enjoyed Sky High, which I don't think did very
well in the box office. Good casting of cult movie fave Bruce
Campbell, Linda Carter is good in it - it's a teen superhero movie
that adults can like (at least adults like my wife and me) It has a
good moral for the kids about being true to yourself and your
principles.

Mystery Men, another superhero movie, was a zeroes to heroes movie
like Ishtar with a remarkable cast, and it also bombed, possibly also
sunk (at least in part) by a hostile relationship between the director
and the studio. I'd love to see a Mystery Men sequel, but that ain't
never gonna happen.

I have wanted to check out the Dewey Cox story for a while, it sound
intriguing, I'll be sure to do that.

I've never heard of Pootie Tang - I'll check that out too.

[ILoveIshtar] Re:Recommendation: WALK HARD: The Dewey Cox Story

Hey Dave and everyone,

Since you asked, I have very strong feelings (that resemble my feelings about Ishtar) about the movie Pootie Tang. It's a much sillier movie and a lot of the humor is grounded in the ridiculousness of the characters, but it gives me that same kind of happy feeling and the same sense of regret that the movie was basically forgotten. Plus, I think Chris Rock and Wanda Sykes are some of the funniest people out there in movies right now. So I don't know - maybe this is way out of left field - but it's worth a try if you feel like something completely different.

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

- Anne.

[ILoveIshtar] Recommendation: WALK HARD: The Dewey Cox Story

I can't recall anyone ever speaking up about other favorite movies here, but I felt motivated, no, compelled, to let you all know about WALK HARD: The Dewey Cox Story. I'm finding myself laughing at it the way I did (and do) at Ishtar; at the inside joke, the awful done well. We're all looking at life through different lenses, of course, but perhaps because we all find something to laugh about in Ishtar, maybe the majority, or at least a bulk, of us will find a similar enjoyment in WALK HARD.

If you're open to a bit of risque language, subject matter, and sights, I recommend watching The Unbearably Long, Self-Indulgent Director's Cut.

Watching this and thinking about writing this very post made me wonder if any other Ishtar fans had movies that moved them in the same way. Do you?

[ItsAllAboutMeMan] Re: [human-ignorance] Fw: Fwd: FW: Best Come Back Line Ever

congratulations on an excellent display of human ignorance, indeed!

while it's true that's how those military guys think - young men are only good for cannon fodder, and young women are only good to be camp followers (and I'll forward something else on this topic to this list), this event never happened. See, for example:

http://www.snopes.com/military/reinwald.asp

that asshole may have though that, but he didn't say it, military officers these days are PR people first, everything else second.

it's so easy to run these things down on the web its ridiculous, but still people continue to circulate them

a triumph for human ignorance!

General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently.
You'll love his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws
you gotta love this! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of an ABC interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military headquarters.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
But you're equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL COSGROVE:
Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended.

[ItsAllAboutMeMan] More Spam From The Wimp!

For fans of: Joy Division, Toby Keith, Olympia and Brazilian twee,
especially Beat Happening, train wrecks, rubbernecking automobile
accidents, chasing fire trucks!

*****
To my dear friends, all over the world:

Some of you may be aware that my daughter and I had been alienated for
six years. Some of you may not have even been aware that I am a
parent, so profound was my shame and grief at the role my failures as
a human being and a parent played in the breakdown of this most
important relationship, I may have overlooked mentioning that little
fact to you.

Well, no more! Today I am here full of piss and vinegar to announce
that she and I are back in email contact, and will soon see each other
face-to-face. In fact, I couldn't think of a better way to come back
together than to do a live radio show in Portland, after a single
rehearsal with most (but not all) of a band of musical specialists who
have never played as a unit before, including some of the old songs we
haven't done in a decade or so, and some new songs that have never
been performed live.

Does this sound like a recipe for disaster to you, too? The beginning
of another six years of cold war, maybe? If you like that sort of
thing (and it's a known fact that many homo sapien do like that sort
of thing, a great deal; consider the success of the movies The
Towering Inferno and Titanic, for example), at noon Saturday Pacific
Time - that's 4:00 pm Sao Paulo time, 9:00 PM in Paris, 10:00 PM
Athens (Greece) and 3:00 PM in Athens (Georgia) go to
http://kpsu.org/listen and listen live! (Give or take an hour on
those times, I tried to factor in daylight savings time, but it hurts
my feelings).

For a second opinion on this show, here's unindicted (as yet) musical
co-conspirator Jim McAdams take on the show:

Here's the basic run-down on the Olympia band That Stupid Love
Experience having their reunion on 5/24/08 on What's This Called? with
guest DJ Ferris manning the booth:

That Stupid Love Experience was an experimental indie folk pop group
formed in the late '90s from members of two Olympia bands - That
Stupid Club (an experimental grunge/noise rock group) and The Kelsie
Love Experience (a folk pop group centered around pre-teen and then
teenage prodigy vocalist Kelsie Love). The group name, just like it's
members, came from half of each separate band. While certainly an
all-in-fun agenda prevailed, this was Kelsie's first real "rock" band,
and later she would go on to change her name to Olivia and become
vocalist for the popular NW all-female Black Sabbath tribute group
Pink Sabbath.

It's been ten years since That Stupid Love Experience has played
together and in recent years any sort of reunion seemed completely
impossible as band members Kelsie (now Olivia) and her father Matt
Love had a falling out. Time thankfully is a wonderful healer, and
recently when former vocalist/moog player Ricardo Wang had made plans
to book Matt for a solo set on his KPSU show it came out that Olivia
might sit in. Soon Ricardo was dusty off his trusty moog, and making
calls with the new invention of cellular phones to other former band
members. To avoid a conflict of interest, Ricardo enlisted the help
of KPSU's most noted interviewer DJ Ferris to take over the radio host
duties.

Times (and names) have changed, and three quarters of this particular
line-up is now married to new people, with weird things happening in
their lives like careers and children. The group still knows how to
mix covers from the likes of Beat Happening and Joy Division with
originals about schizophrenics and creepy deadhead misogynists,
however. This set is dedicated to Matt Loves good friend and musical
cohort Joe Sibley who took his own life a year ago.

[ItsAllAboutMeMan] My Monnie DearASS Story - Always Late, I AM !!!

Countless were the times I stood and watched MommieDearASS stand there pulling her hair out by the roots, screaming at the top of her lungs...

"I'm calling the men in the white ocats !!

I'm calling the men in the white coats!!!"

All because I wouldn't go to Sunday School with her each Sunday untill they dragged me out from under my bed and across the street with my heels marking the asphalt.

Had I kinown THEN what I know NOW,

I would have happily awaited the aRRival of the men in the white coats

to take me away ha ha he he ho ho.

My Mommie DearASS..I think (I think)

I will keep her (I think) in

Southern Florida and I will remain in Hollywood, CA...

It's as safe a place as I can get.

I mean I saw WAY to many AIRPORT, Posieden Adventure and Titanic movies to take my happy ass off any green spot, so I am stuck here.

Mommie DearASS is cool though.

JUST LIKE ME.

She only disappoints me in that she still has, at the age of 80, this teenaged voice on the telephone.

For decades I have tried to get her interested in all these phone sex 1-800 numbers where she could have a ball(s).

She is a computer genius on top of all that but not interested in the webcam thing.

Of course she would have to find some retarded much younger neighbor to pose for all that as SHE directs.

I know she can do it.

It's NOT The end of the weird

just because a person is 80.

Yet she prefers Bingo,

and watching ELLEN, and The View.

(what the hell?)

I just pray to God after enough Sunday School lessons that I am not playing Bingo when and if I reach that age.

Once she lost a book of postage stamps and accused me of stealing them.

She said that she would buy another book of stamps and shove them up her Vagina where no one could find them.

One of the things I learned in those Sunday School classes was that if you don't know what to say or do, that God would work through you and speak through you.

I didn't know what to say or do, so what came out in response to her declaration was this..

"Oh, Mother, Please !

Don't shove them UP THERE !!

YOU won't be able to find them!!!"

May sound like we don't get along but the truth of the matter is that we DO.

We're just too much like another

and I suppose the only difficult part of it is that when we are together we are looking in the mirror and that is acceptable to me.

HAS TO BE.

What ELSE is a guy gonna do (do)?

I am able to accept her as well as myself, unlike my older brother and sister who still play the game and only visit every five years or so.

I spend two weeks with her once a year

and have always recovered in time before I do it again.

My older brother and sister?

I haven't seen either of them since the weekend Princess DI died.

Nor any of my 5 other younger siblings.

Fine with me, less Chrsitmas cards to send.

Mother DearASS is enough for me.

We love one another to death.

If you know what I mean.

Hope she had a wonderful Mother's Day.

I shaved my shoulder length hair that she despised and sent her an email copy.

Probably killed her.

We must all do what we can to preserve civilization
