Lars and Juno are at the top of my Netfix. I'm hoping Lars will ship today. I love me some Ryan Gosling.

I watched Lars and the Real Girl for the first time last night. I may watch it again tonight. To say I loved it, doesn't do it justice.

I couldn't care less about the Juno backlash, I really enjoyed this movie both times I saw it in the theater. J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney are so funny and so affecting, and I just love Jennifer Garner's sweet little moment when she feels the baby kick.

I have There Will be Blood from Netflix right now, and I honestly have no idea as to what to expect. I am wondering if I'll think Day-Lewis is too scenery munching, but I tend to really enjoy how thoroughly he invests himself in his roles...so I'll probably concur that no, he's just awesome.

And I'm psyched to hear that damned milkshake line in its context so I'll finally know what the fuck everyone has been talking about.

Lars & Juno are at the top of my queue, too! I just dropped Enchanted and Labrinth into the mail yesterday (fuck off, I'm a child inside), so hopefull they'll arrive soon!

Julie - you will love it.

oh my gosh, I remember Early Edition!
that was years ago....wow, talk about an unexpected mid-week flashback....

and I am so excited to add Juno and Lars and the Real Girl to my DVD collection

Sure, Juno was near-perfect mixture of drama and comedy, but the constant acoustic guitar music started to piss me off towards the end 'till I was ready to walk out on the closing sequence... that's probably just me though.

I keep waiting for the Juno backlash backlash - just to close the circle, you know? God I fucking loved that movie.

Kolby, I watched Enchanted a week or so ago (so damned cute, and my GOD do I want Amy Adams' hair) and I returned The Muppet Movie yesterday (which I REALLY need to buy).

I think there will always be a part of me that wishes I could quit my job and stay home all day watching Thundercats, drinking Ecto Cooler, and planning my marriage to Billy from Gremlins.

Hey - whatever happened to the plans for a Muppets Show return?

Julie, my ideal day would include Kaboom for breakfast, a marathon of Strawberry Shortcake (wouldn't you know?!), He-Man, Voltron, and Yan Can Cook, and then an afternoon of brushing My Little Pony's mane and taking the Barbie Corvette out for a spin. Dang, I'm gonna be such a cool mom someday.

My brother and I were probably the most loyal Early Edition fans on the planet. I never knew the lead actor's name, we'd just say "look! Early Edition guy !" when we saw him in anything else.

How awesome was it when he hooked up with the original Buffy?

I also just watched "Lars and the Real Girl" last night. It seemed much longer than an hour and a half, but I think that's because it moved slowly. I thought it was very sweet. It was so nice to see a movie with NO bad guys, for a change. I cried through the last half of it, because I'm a sap. But I thought the humor was lovely in that it was very low key. Although, I almost lost it when Lars says, almost as an aside, "I have to drop Bianca off at the School Board meeing. She's been elected."

"And I'm psyched to hear that damned milkshake line in its context so I'll finally know what the fuck everyone has been talking about."

Yes. What the hell is this about? What am I missing? I've asked people only to be answered with blank stares... What film is it in, what the hell does it have to do with anything, and why can't someone put a stop to coffee-flavored candies?

Well, I'm indifferent to all these movies, but what have you got against coffee-flavored anything? I'll need a little evidence before I see how this is a bad thing.

What film is it in, what the hell does it have to do with anything, and why can't someone put a stop to coffee-flavored candies?

Hee hee hee...oh Skitt.

I agree with Skit - anything that tastes like coffee and yet is NOT coffee is shit. Same with anything that is artifically flavored to taste like grape, blue raspberry, or green apple.

I have to disagree...I love coffee-flavored candies. Coffee flavored anything is fantastic.

[wonders if he should tell Julie that not only does he own all the Muppet movies...but also the first two seasons on DVD]

Sigh...Shadows, I am insanely jealous. I stole my sister's copies of The Muppets Take Manhattan and Muppet Treasure Island, but I (braces self for confession) don't actually own any myself. So very bad.

Have you ever had Nips? [Attention: I am NOT being dirty, they are candy, they are called Nips, and they are coffee flavored chocolate filled voluptuousness]

Oh GAWD yes...whenever I can find them, I consume the entire bag. Voluptuousness indeed!

Hard to find around here, for some reason...unless I'm looking in the wrong places...

I'm with Kolby on the grape-flavored shit that tastes absolutely nothing like grape. NOTHING!

So, yeah... Seriously. What the hell is the milkshake thing?

"...but what have you got against coffee-flavored anything? I'll need a little evidence before I see how this is a bad thing."

Allow me to help you unravel this web of mystery, Jay.

Coffee = gross.

Things that taste like coffee = gross.

Things that should taste good (i.e. candy) but instead use trickery and lies to suck you into a pit of despair with their coffee flavouring = sick and wrong.

Nips = ABOMINATIONS IN THE EYE OF THE GODTOPUS!

Mystery solved. Man, I'm just like goddamn Nancy Drew.

Julie you took the words right out of my mouth...er fingers :) i love those mocha nips with the special surprise inside. i think watermelon flavored things are disgusting.

can't wait to watch lars and the real girl.

So, yeah... Seriously. What the hell is the milkshake thing?

As I understand it (NOT having seen the movie), and to cross two memes together, "I drink your milkshake, I drink it up!" is a way of saying "I have inflicted massive pwntangage on you". He might belong a base or two as well.

I do not know if there is a milkshake present that the pwntanged individual was drinking, and whether or not said hypothetical milkshake was indeed drunk a la Jules Winfield.

But that seems to be the gist.

Sarina, I was wondering when you'd come in here and poo all over my Nips.

P.S. Not that I care, I just really wanted to type that sentence.

SM: The google, you can haz it.

I haven't seen anything. No good movies for me. I spent last night watching 'The Last Mimzy' because I hate myself. A lot.

Tonight is Afro Samurai. If nothing else, at least there will be some severed limbs and maybe a good explosion or two.

It's my fault, it's my fault for leaving things out.

I should've said: "this question is not to be answered by Sarina. I can't quite remember but she might have professed herself as a tea drinker as well."

Still, I appreciate your wanting to help me.

Guess you don't want that coffee ice cream then either. I'll take it off your hands.

pwntanged

In my mind this sounds like "poontanged."

Oh and I know that twig wants to put me out of a job, and it's just gonna have come down to Princes of the Universe shit on a cliff edge one day.

I should've said: "this question is not to be answered by Sarina."

Oh Jay, everyone should say that about every question ever asked. Like, by default. Not that I'd be at all likely to heed such instruction, but still. It should really be standard precaution, what with all the crazy I go around wielding.

I actually like grape flavoured things. I especially love grape popsicles and grape flavoured water (as long as it's not too strong). Has anybody ever had a grapple? They're genetically engineered apples that taste like grapes. Like real, actual grapes, but with the texture of an apple. They're the weirdest damn things you will ever eat. I love them.

I hate cherry flavoured things, though.

Hee-Kelley, Nips taste like senior week to me, me and my girlfriends must have eaten about 3 boxes alone in the car ride to the shore.

*said as Paul Gleason in "She's Having A Baby"*

How do you feel about banana flavoring?

(bananas are good)

Oh and, mind you, I hope that twig has a vendetta against reference work, thus giving me a NEMESIS, and doesn't just work at Google. How am I ever gonna be Rex Libris that way?

Afro Samurai!! That was a great movie. Severed limbs aplenty! No explosions...but there is tons of badassery.

Julie...I didn't know you swung that way...

Mmmm....coffee ice cream....especially some mocha flavored praline crunch...

it's just gonna have come down to Princes of the Universe shit on a cliff edge one day.

Ask me how fast I can google the five-point palm exploding heart technique. Just ask.

Even the title Afro Samuri makes me tingle.

Damn you Shadows, now I want that ice cream. And ice cream and I are mortal enemies.

Sorry, he implied. I did the inferring.

I was working so hard earlier. Trust me. Really busy morning.

Jay - can I have some coffee icecream? Is it gourmet?
I love coffee-flavoured stuff, but only as long as it's not too sweet - chocolates with coffee cream in them make me gag.

Topic: must see 'Lars' and 'Juno'! I've been wasting my film-and-tv time catching up with Nip/Fuck, and it's like driving by a car crash. I know I shouldn't look, but I can't help it!
(WTF does Julian McMahon think his hair looks like, anyway? And why did he wax his chest? Ugh...)

I am quite excited that we now have ourselves a pair of arch nemeses. I would like for there to be a cage match, please. A duel to the pain. You can commence to referencin' and whoever's less accurate gets paper cuts.

...on the lips and between the fingers & toes.

I volunteer to referee.

That is, Prisco and TK were implying on another page about the Dresden Files. Fuck it, you've all got a few tabs open too, right?

Right.

Sorry.

See? Still frazzled from all that being busy earlier.

Julie, I also hate ice cream! It's too...creamy. I do not like the richness. Oh, but I goddamn love Dippin' Dots. Not the creamy kinds, though. Like cookies 'n cream? The hell? NASTY! The fruit flavoured ones are delicious, though. I love the insane texture. Oh, and they now sell them in grocery stores! Except they're not called Dippin' Dots in a grocery store. They have other names, but I can never remember what the brands are, and once when I was really wasted and my best friend and I were eating them, I started calling them Squints (I...don't know, I was DRUNK, what do you WANT FROM ME?) and it totally stuck and so now that's what we call them.

I have no idea what my point was. I probably never had one.

it's just gonna have come down to Princes of the Universe shit on a cliff edge one day.

Ask me how fast I can google the five-point palm exploding heart technique. Just ask.

Is it just me, or does this sound like a dirty? It's just me, isn't it? Okay, I'll go back to watch the action...

How can you be human and not like ice cream?

Hee! I don't hate ice cream, ice cream hates me. Apparently I must have raped and pillaged my way through a sleepy sea-side Chunky Monkey village in a former life.

I want to try a grapple so fucking much but they're $6 for four. I would cry a good cry, if I could cry.

MILKSHAKE SPOILER:
The milkshake scene is a reference to (I think) a politician's huffy rant about slant drilling. Daniel Day-Lewis is talking about having a huge straw so he can drink others' milkshakes from where he is sitting. If only this movie was out in time for Saddam to see it.
/MILKSHAKE SPOILER

Julie,

My nana used to always have coffee flavored nips on hand to keep us quiet in temple. They were and are wonderful. In fact, I keep a box at my deks at all times.

Shadows, if it's 1/5 as good as any 'Samurai Champloo' I'll be satisfied. Good to hear a positive review, though.

Now this is the point where I would start the Server Prayer, but then I realize that in all likelihood, nobody knows what I'm talking about, so if you have a few free one-hour chunks, I highly, highly reccommend a trip to Tales of the Afternow for the best free apocalyptic futuristic science-fiction radio play around. Third season is Lovecraft-tastic.

"I want to try a grapple so fucking much but they're $6 for four. I would cry a good cry, if I could cry."

Stew, they are worth every penny. LOVE.

Oh, and Kolby? I never said I was human. Although to be fair, I guess I don't totally hate all ice cream. I sometimes eat vanilla, but it's seriously only about once every few years.

My grandmother had coffee-flavored nips as well... AND I AIN'T TALKIN' CANDY! HEEEY-OHH!

Seriously though - she had some weird disorder where her nipples were coffee flavored. Swear to gawd.

Dude, for real-reals - you can call her. Seriously. Why would I lie? How could I possibly benefit from this? It's been a shameful family secret for ages... Me? Mine taste like band-aids I've been told... the expensive, flexible kind. I guess in retrospect, my grandmother kind of lucked out, huh?

Aww, Skitt, band-aids? That sucks. I like to believe that my nipples taste like sangria.

Nothing is as good as Samurai Champloo.

I saw Lars, and the only thing keeping me from Netflixing it is the knowledge that I'll keep it for like eight months instead of buying it, kinda like 'Once.' That movie broke me all the way down.
/note to self- send back 'Once."
//or, you know... don't.

i can't live without ice cream. i once ate an entire 1/2 gallon of breyer's mint chocolate chip (it can't be the green kind) in one night. and i adore those soft-serve cones covered with rainbow sprinkles. sometimes i just want to ask the server to give me my cone and the entire bowl of sprinkles. that is truly the only reason i would ever go to golden corral...all the sprinkles and ice cream i can eat!

as for grape flavored things, sometimes i look forward to getting sick so i can take the adult-sized does of dimetapp.

my nipples taste like sangria

I'll be right over...

I am all about the ice cream. I actually believe it to be it's own food group. If I ever became lactose intolerant, well, I may have to end it all that day.

i adore those soft-serve cones covered with rainbow sprinkles

This is my go-to order at the ice cream stand. Oh, how I love me some soft serve.

kelley, you don't need to wait until you're sick. Shit, I chugged two bottles of Th'Tappinator on my way to work this morning. Tonight? I shall enjoy a garlic-crusted swordfish steak with balsamic & rosemary baby 'bellas, accompanied by a chilled flute of Listerine (with just a touch of 7-Up to tickle my nose).

You see how that was all it bold? That's emphasis, people. It means what I had to say was very important.

(that or I forgot the stupid goddamed htmlimabob...)

let's not forget the grape flintstones vitamins! when i was little, i was a flintstones vitamin poppin' freak. kids today have those nasty gummi ones.

Oh, how I love me some soft serve.

Oh, I can't help it.

Owner: Take this object, but beware it carries a terrible curse!
Homer: Ooooh, that's bad.
Owner: But it comes with a free Frogurt!
Homer: That's good.
Owner: The Frogurt is also cursed.
Homer: That's bad.
Owner: But you get your choice of topping!
Homer: That's good.
Owner: The toppings contains Potassium Benzoate.

*cue the long pause*

Hee Shadows, I only like to believe they taste like sangria as I am unable to lick my own nipples. Not that I've tried.

Twig-ha! I love that scene.

I'm super excited because I just found out "Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie" is being re-released on DVD May 6, and I think it's one of the funniest dang movies I've ever seen. And I just wanted to share that with y'all in case there's anyone else out there who's been praying fervently to the godtopus for a chance to own the movie.

Cady:

Top three MST3K episodes:

1. Cave Dwellers
2. Pod People
3. Space Mutiny

Ooh! Mine are: (I don't remember any of the movie titles)

1. The one from the 80's with the male/female werewolves.
2. The one with the killer ventriloquist dummy.
3. The one with the freaky german movie with the guy who turns into a bear.

Wheeeee!!!

1. The one from the 80's with the male/female werewolves.
2. The one with the killer ventriloquist dummy.

1. Werewolf
2. Devil Doll
3. Jack Frost

Nelson Lover

Ohhhh I'm kidding of course.

twig, I've never fully grown a love of Pop People, the bad starts to bring me down like a Coleman Francis Season 6'er (which is not to discount Idiot Control in the SLIGHTEST).

Can't fuck with Cave Dwellers though. I've been compulsively watching Escape 2000 and Master Ninja I a lot lately. I could never just do 3 though.

However, let me offer some friendly advice to Julie: if you love the Russo-Finnish glorious-fucked-in-the-headedness of Jack Frost, give The Sword & The Dragon and The Day The Earth Froze a try.

Actually, I'd almost insist on watch "Earth" to anybody.

(no, there's very little to buy from Rhino, but they are ALL out there)

Oh and regarding This Island Earth

"We did it and you know it".

Nelson Lover

Ah ha ha!! I do prefer him though (don't yell at me!), when I started watching MST3K Joel was long gone, so I'm more familiar with those of Mike Nelson's. Manos: Hands of Fate is another favorite though.

:skips to Netflix to add those eps you suggested:

What, no love for 'Prince of Space'?

"Take us away, little shorts!"

Yeah, that's the thing, I started watching on Turkey Day 91, thus I imprinted on Joel and tuned in every Saturday morning after. In his pre-hosting days my favorite Mike moments are the Torgo pizza deliveries and Michael Feinstein in "Gamera vs. Guiron".

Unfortunately (and I forgot to mention "The Magic Voyage of Sinbad" as well, which is actually a Russian movie about a sailor named Sadko) the aforementioned episodes are only available in uploaded VHS form.

Netflix does have the Godzilla episode that got out in one of the boxes before Toho said "'ey what the FUCK?!" and it got discontinued. They're good with out of print Criterions too I've noticed.

So is it weird that I don't like grape flavor at all? Hmmm.

Not to nitpick or anything, but where's the love for "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead"? I mean you named that piece of shit Boll film and you can't mention a Lumet film?

Buying my copy of Lars and Juno this weekend. Yipeeee!

Good for him. But just saw him at ___S e e k i n g R i c h . c o m---last week. What is he looking for on that site.

my top 3 MST3Ks (like Julie, I came in during the Nelson Era and I also think he's pinchy cute):

1. Parts: The Clonus Horror
2. The Screaming Skulls
3. Manos: The Hands of Fate ("what are you guys talking about.where's....my dog")

the movie is great, too. i miss that show badly and i want to own it, but the prices are ridiculous. Hellooo, Netflix!

OHH! Another good one: The Touch of Satan

"this is where the fish lives."

You're all insane. The best candy ever is Ludens cherry cough drops. 'Nuff said.
