Titanic Ass-Sluts of Nazi Germany?


The Top 10 Comments of the Week / Brian Prisco

Eloquent Eloquence | February 26, 2009 | Comments (37)


The Oscars are over. I can’t believe that the Slumdog Backlash involves touting how Milk got robbed. Don’t like Slumdog, well, that’s fine. I’m accustomed to the chromosome deficiency around here. But honestly? Yeah, I’m really sorry that gays can’t marry in California, but that’s not going to elevate this film beyond the same cliched goddamn biopic that gets an award every goddamn year. The only difference is that Sean Penn didn’t sing. Unfortunately, Beyonce did. You people really are commie-loving homo sons of bitches. And I miss musical theatre.

There really isn’t much out there these days, cinema-wise. We’re scraping the bottom of the barrel to bring you reviews. I’m journeying to Pasadena this week to find something worthy of Pajiba. I didn’t. But I have to earn my paycheck somehow.

I’m gonna stop expressing how glorious PajiBacon is going to be in just a mere two weeks. Because I know many of you aren’t going. And that’s really a sad thing. Particularly since this explosion of the arts happens over St. Patrick’s Day. I fairly expect to lose two or three Pajibblets over the course of the day. Probably TK. Or Dan. He’s from Texas, so I expect him to disappear into the landscape like some sort of alcohol-fueled Predator.

Genny (also Rusty) has been declared the winner of the Miss Lonelyhearts Stomps a Child 5K for the Cannonball Read! It was no small feat, pounding through over 2000 pages in 2 weeks. She will get to declare our requirements for the next 5K, which will probably be the first two weeks in April. Congrats, missy, you truly earned it.

Because there’s nothing I like more than shirking responsibility, I’m giving up the EEs much more often in the next few weeks. As often as possible. Doing this tonight damn near gave me a Baz Luhrman-dance sequence in my brain tonight. So, I’m passing the torch to the lovely Nicole next week. Your promises of sexual favors will not sway her like they did poor Optimus.

Ashes to foreheads, let’s get to the comments:

10. Ben Stiller is not funny. He’s the 21st-century Jerry Lewis. — Eel O’Brien

(I wish Portman had paid attention to her assassin training. She could have knifed up Joaquinannabe right in front of us.)

9. Shut UP, you guys. Cheerleaders take so much shit from people who think they’re all vacuuous, big-boobied assholes with eating disorders. Cheerleading is hard work, and that hard work should be recognized. Football games take place in the fall, and it’s very cold then. But do cheerleaders let that stop them? Hell fucking no!! They pull themselves up by the sportsbra straps and act like professionals! And every once in a while, when a studio sees fit to honor them in film, ugly, jealous bitches like yourselves shit all over it.

Jerks. — Clee Shay

(Spirit fingers. Spirit middle fingers.)

8. With a title like FIRED UP, I was really hoping these two young stallions had flaming jiz that exploded the cheerleaders into great balls of fire. I know it’s been done before, but what hasn’t? — BWeaves

(I think what makes this double funny, is that BWeaves is usually a bastion of classiness. And she pulls out the blue humor.)

7. I’m officially announcing a schism and the formation of Pajiwhedon.com, where the smarter, more refined ex-readers of Pajiba.com can freely congregate away from the simpler masses.

Tomorrow’s first post: “Why People Who Don’t Give Shows More Than Two Episodes to Prove Themselves Should Be Shot In the Face” and, of course, “Oscar Fashions.” — The Pink Hulk

(By all means, please declare your Whehad. You space cowboys sail away on a starship for the skies. Take all your proselytizing and philosophizing and go straight to the Hellmouth. Me and Carlson’ll stay down here and drink on an island, discuss the finer qualities of “Lost,” and watch cable.)

6. I’m going to test out “monogomatic hidey-hole” as a term of endearment with my wife, and see how it flies. That term makes up for you being such a cheer-tator around here all the time, Dustin. — branded

5. Meh.
I actually thought it said “Medea goes to the Mall”. The idea of the ancient Greek heroine hanging out at the food court with her kids, waiting for Jason (who is off playing for the Toronto Argonauts or something), was way more amusing to me than this movie sounds.

And now, I am totally craving an Orange Julius and a Pizza Dog at the local Mall. — Odnon

(I wrote a short film setting Titus Andronicus during a backyard barbecue with a mostly black cast. But I thought I was being too racist, implying that a black woman would carve up the children of her philandering husband and serve them as baby back ribs. Then Tyler Perry came along and made me realize I just need to change every other “fuck” to the word “God” or “Jesus” and I can do whatever I want!)

4. I’m going to test out “monogomatic hidey-hole” as a term of endearment with my wife, and see how it flies. — branded

Publisher’s Note: Prisco? Has your brain turned to mush, or did you find that funny enough to include twice? Wake up, Big Man. You still have three to go.

3. Unfortunately, due to the difficult economic times, you will have no maple syrup for your pancakes. The Government of Canada has close the border to the trade of said syrup as it will be the only thing left for Canadians to eat for the rest of the year.

I hope you enjoy your pancakes as, tommorrow, cogress is debating a bill that will see the pancake replaced with the inferior, but more economically prudent, flapjack.
May God have mercy on us all. — admin

2. “Hi Snuggie? It’s LQ. Yeah, you’re a backwards robe. Kthxbye.” Fucking Snuggie, would you just go the way of so many of the useless As Seen on TV products that preceded you? Hair in a spray can anyone? Jeesh.

So… where was I? Oh yeah, the coolest bong. I was at a party at my slightly younger cousin’s house in high school. He and his friends had made a bong out of a 12 inch talking Hulk Hogan doll. You would light the bowl, take a hit, and Hulk would say things like “Stay in school little Hulkamaniacs and take your vitamins.” Needless to say, it was the best thing EVER. — Lizardqueen


(I have never smoked pot, and even I would want to hit that. And our number one…)

1. And hey, I have a sneaking suspicion that not all the Slumdog kids went back to their parents. Someone needed to check under Angelina’s dress. I bet she took at least two. — figgy

——
As a film site with gossip tendencies, we are contractually obligated to mention Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie at least once a week. Thanks for filling our quota, figgster. And as much as I liked seeing them win, I just hope to Vishnu they move on and never assemble together in one place again en masse.

figgy, please send to us the whereabouts of the lost children, a collage of Aniston fighting Jolie with In Touch magazine cutouts, and your approximate size and dimensions, as well as an address where we can send your T-shirt. Pack it up in a goody bag and send it to dustin at pajiba dot com.

I’m out of here for the next several weeks. I’m picking the EE replacement team from the Pajiba Facebook group. So if you aren’t a part of that, you won’t be chosen. Sucks to your assmar.

Godspeed, you Nicole emperor. You’ll need it.

Congratulations, Figgy!!!

Poder Latino!

when I clicked on the main link it sent me to last week's EE...FYI

Posted by: anne at February 26, 2009 2:19 PM

I'm still waiting for branded's "so nice Prisco posted it twice" term of endearment update.
I also think we need more dirty BWeaves.

Congrats figgy. BTW I checked, she's clean. HA!

Posted by: admin at February 26, 2009 2:22 PM

Im getting a red dwarf vibe from the idea of a pajiba/whedon split... its like when all the cats leave because of an argument over a hat. so if we the people of pajiba are the cat race. we need to make sure dustin is frozen in time as cloister the stupid and whoever annoys him the most maybe the brad pitt benjamin button will be his companion when he comes out of stasis. Of course all the way through the series Dustin will be pining for ryan reynolds until an alternate universe ryan reynolds becomes a crew member in the later inferior series'.

Anyway this analogy has gone way too far.

Any other suggestions for Pajiba people who could take part in the red dwarfage?

Posted by: jim at February 26, 2009 2:25 PM

Kneel, fools.

Posted by: Nicole at February 26, 2009 2:26 PM

Bitch, please. I can't win anyway. I ain't kneelin' for nothin'.

Posted by: TK at February 26, 2009 2:35 PM

Wooooooooooooo! Woooo! I'm #1! I'm #1! At last!

I may or may not have just pulled an Abigail-Breslin-in-Little-Miss-Sunshine-style run around the room yelling "I WON! IWONIWONIWONIWONIWON!" at the top of my lungs. I won't tell.

Okay, I totally did.

Victory is mine!

I want to thank the Academy, Prisco's Kiss make-up, my latina power (Yeaaah, Sofia!) and of course, Angelina Jolie and her collection of orphans. You are a scary woman, but you were my inspiration.

Jai-ho, bitches!

Posted by: figgy at February 26, 2009 2:36 PM

Kneel and.....

(I'm very good at taking direction)

Posted by: admin at February 26, 2009 2:37 PM

Kneel, fools

Why? So you can get down on your elbows?

Posted by: stipe42 at February 26, 2009 2:39 PM

Ha! I mean, I will smite you. I'm an emperor.

I have to go stock up on eyedrops now.

Posted by: Nicole at February 26, 2009 2:42 PM

I no longer have any venom or hate for anyone here at pajiba. Life is to short to carry this burdensome load I've been carrying. I do not love you, but more importantly I do not hate you.

Posted by: Pookie at February 26, 2009 2:55 PM

Woo Hoo! #5! I made the list again! (Love the Titus Treatment, Brian.) Awesome!

Even if I sometimes feel like the underage kid who sneaks into a college party where all the cool kids are discussing Proust and shit, and who then proceeds to get drunk on one Zima and holler out words he thinks are funny. Like "Periwinkle!", or "RoTUNNNda!"

Congrats figgy! (BTW, I think I read that Angelina has been spotted sniffing around Octomom's house...)

And now I have to go dig out those Golden Kneepads...

Posted by: Odnon at February 26, 2009 2:56 PM

Boy, the irony is fucking palpable. Here's what #4 should have been: "And yea, he did so confuseth his minions that their brain matter did begin to leaketh from their ears, and many sought refuge in their blessed photographs of Shirtless Ryan Reynolds, whilst other warned their fair children of the danger that is Vermont..." -- Louise

My only defense is that Gregory Hines was having Jelly's Last Jam in my fucking cerebral cortex. I had to up my anti-anxiety meds. And by up my meds, I mean more whiskey.

Thanks, Pookie. I loave you too.

Posted by: insertclevernamehere at February 26, 2009 2:59 PM

Now now, figgy we all know The Jolie needs that kid to complete her own personal rainbow babies soccer team.

And Nicole, have I ever commented on how close Philly is to Baltimore? And how willing I am to buy you a drink if I ever find myself there or you find yourself here? Just say the word.

Posted by: Genny (also Rusty) at February 26, 2009 3:04 PM

Congrats, Figgy. That was awesome.

Oh, hey Nicole. I didn't see you there. Damn girl, you're looking GOOD. Did you get a hair cut? Well whatever it is, keep doing it. As a young woman, it's so great for me to have an intelligent, beautiful, eloquent role model to look up to such as yourself. Your wit, those eyes, your magnificent rack; I can only aspire to be half of the woman that you are. Indeed, I often find that I can successfully navigate the perilous waters of adversity by simply taking a moment and thinking, "What would Nicole do?" And with that, the clouds of insurmountable odds part and reveal the bright road ahead. Forgive me, now I'm just gushing. Anyway, I hope that all goes well with your EE duties. Though I'm sure it'll be easy as pie for someone of your immense talents.

P.S.- I have a keg and Genny once said you smell like cheese. Truth.

Posted by: jM at February 26, 2009 3:12 PM

Congratulations Figgy!

And Nicole, there is no way I'm getting on my knees, ho-muffin. Whatever sexual favors I perform will be on my back.

GENNY! I was just IN Baltimore visiting Lizzieborden! :( Next time I visit you must tag along.

Posted by: Julie at February 26, 2009 3:13 PM

And Nicole, there is no way I'm getting on my knees, ho-muffin. Whatever sexual favors I perform will be on my back.

That just sounds lazy to me. I would never half ass it with you Nicole.

Posted by: jM at February 26, 2009 3:16 PM

Congrats figgy! Nothing better than spreading the WBNS shirts internationally.

Technicalities still count! While one of my list entries may be a mistake, luckily my parents raised me for just such an experience. Sure, I'll tell them that I love them both equally, but I'll have to leave the lesser comment behind when we visit relatives for the holidays. One will get a dog, and the "other one" won't. I'm won't be the kind of dad who you know, does things or says stuff or looks at you. But the love is there!

Posted by: branded at February 26, 2009 3:38 PM

Yay! Congrats, Figgy!

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at February 26, 2009 3:53 PM

The womenfolks backstabbing to satisfy the new EE empress just for a shot at the top spot?

I love this place.

Posted by: Vermillion at February 26, 2009 4:19 PM

I am NOT lazy jM. I just refuse to get on all fours for a GIRL. :p

Posted by: Julie at February 26, 2009 4:30 PM

What is it Dustin? You can't sit through a 3-plus hour movie, so is that why you and you're army of hipsters hate my 300-plus word post's?

I will have my revenge! At least the academy's on my side!

Posted by: George at February 26, 2009 4:45 PM

Doing this tonight damn near gave me a Baz Luhrman-dance sequence in my brain tonight.

Last night was a rough night last night, eh, Prisco? And to think your open eye visuals included multiple instances of branded...

Yet you somehow managed to soldier on in our behalf, and in the process confirmed the inclusive nature -- all nationalities, all sexual proclivities, all states of consciousness -- of Pajiba. Congrats, figgy!

Oh, and I'm calling your bluff, Nicole. Chatter away now, but the next time anyone hears from you (next Thursday) you will be but a chastened shell of your former self. Top 10 Comments guest editorship is kryptonite to an Eloquent...parceled out by Lex "Prisco" Luthor himself.

Posted by: Che Grovera at February 26, 2009 5:00 PM

What is it Dustin? You can't sit through a 3-plus hour movie, so is that why you and you're army of hipsters hate my 300-plus word post's?

It's mostly the glaring grammatical errors, George. It's like Japanime to an epileptic.

Posted by: hatemail at February 26, 2009 5:19 PM

Nicole will never be as good as Prisco! (What? He put me in the title. I know on which side my bread is buttered.)

Posted by: Sabrina at February 26, 2009 6:01 PM

jM, that was a gorgeous bit of ass kissing. I am clapping over here. Beautiful!

Posted by: figgy at February 26, 2009 6:17 PM

I have it on good authority that No. 4 was SUPPOSED to be my rant at D*stin's abuse of the lovely letter U, but ... well, you know who wields absolute (corrupted) power around here and who can pull the plug at any time without a hearing and without access to legal council.

Yes, Guantanamo R*wles.

So ... WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO for MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and UUUUUUUUUUUU!

Nevertheless, I humbly bow to figgy ... and to the great goddess N----e.

Posted by: bucdaddy at February 26, 2009 6:18 PM

Nicole might want to remember who put her in the Top Ten last week... (I don't need number one. Just a little taste is all. To see that I still got it!)
Also, I love any use of Sucks to your assmar.
Sucks to Your Assmar One and ALL!

Posted by: bucdaddy at February 26, 2009 8:28 PM

Love him very much. Lots of my online friends on mixedmate dotcom love him too. You can share your ideas with them if you want. It is a servious interracial dating service.

Posted by: evan at February 26, 2009 10:26 PM

Congrats Figgy! 'Twas brilliant.

Posted by: Cindy at February 26, 2009 10:35 PM

It's mostly the glaring grammatical errors, George. It's like Japanime to an epileptic.

Ouch. You're probably going to get on next weeks 10 best comments for that one, hatemail. Damn my poor grammar.

Posted by: George at February 26, 2009 11:31 PM

Whoooo! Figmeister B! I don't even know what that means. Anyway, awesome.

Personally, I'm pleased as Punch that The Pink Hulk's Whehad idea made the list too. Partly because he's my secret fake gay internet boyfriend, and partly because I'm all about the Whehad. (Which is probably going to make figgy break up with me, but sometimes I gotta stick to my guns, even if it means losing someone I love, y'know?)

Also, Nicole, I give really good neck rubs, and North Jersey isn't that far from Philly, either. (And by "neck rubs", I mean "head".)

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at February 27, 2009 10:13 AM

For the record, Genny and jM know what they're doing - sexual favors mean nothing to me, but throw me offers of booze and compliment my vain ass? That'll get you into my heart quicker than a high school quarterback into a cheerleader's fundies after winning the big game.

Posted by: Nicole at February 27, 2009 10:45 AM

Yay! I made the Top 10 again!

And Anna, I don't think we're fooling anyone. They all know I'm your fake gay boyfriend.

Posted by: The Pink Hulk at February 27, 2009 12:46 PM

Oh, Anna, that's alright...I still love you, despite your...love of Him Who Shall Not Be Named for The Sake of Our Love. My own love is too strong!

Posted by: figgy at February 27, 2009 1:16 PM

Dear Canada,

You can keep your syrup. And your surly attitude with maple leaf covered attire.

Love,

Vermont and New Hampshire
