Pajiba

Oh Brothers Weinstein, really? Really?

Well, I, for one, am not a Lisa Loeb female. Hell, I'm not even female!

However, I do love the comments. They do tend to get animated. Quite the entertainment factor there.

All that plus killer reviews!

And I saw that same Casino Royal you saw, except I saw it when it first came out. And, like you, I didn't get it. I avoided it on BBC last weekend because I have such traumatic memories of it.

This new one is supposed to hew a little closer to the book (with some "modernization" such as the game being Texas Hold 'em instead of Baccarat.)

We shall see.

So Wes Anderson has a monopoly on the use of Futura Bold? It's an effing font. Whatever.

I love demographic surveys (not that you've asked for one, of course)! I am a 34-year-old lawyer at a big, somewhat scary NYC law firm and decidedly NOT Lisa Loeb-ish (don't even get me started on how much that woman grates on my nerves). Married. A lifelong Democrat who, if I had a car, would, indeed, have a faded, sad Kerry/Edwards sticker still on to keep the dream alive.

I agree that many of the posters are extremely insightful and funny. Reminiscent of the fora on Fametracker, which are defunct now (sniff, sniff).

you're kidding, right? you saw the ORIGINAL casino royale.

Thanks for the little suck-up to us commenters.

In my view there are two distinct sub-species of commenters on Pajiba: unspeakably clever and articulate people who type some of the funniest shit I've ever seen; and emotimorons who unselfconsciously volunteer the information that Adam Sandler (or Dane Cook, or Will Ferrell, or whoever) is a comic genius...and the latter group are also hysterically funny to read, in a totally different sort of way, if you know what I mean. ;-)

I always read the comments. I can't help myself.

Well I'm excited for the new Casino Royale, which even if it flops simply has to be a better production than the original.

Also, futura bold is actually a stolen adaptation first pioneered in art by Barbara Kruger, and she used it primarily because it's a font that draws the eye and annouces itself. (Yes, there is a little psychology behind typeface use).

Well..
Indeed a badly shaved male, much older, leftwing person
from the Netherlands, so did I miss something not
knowing who's Lisa?
Nice name, though, sexy!

Never listen to mp3, have steelrimmed glasses, but yeah,
have an office job. My first, and i'm 35.
We sell Apples faster than we can order them.

This site is one of my favorites in the moviegossip corner.
Ceep up the works!

But if there are that many women reading here,
how about a dating corner?

Frankly, who gives a shit what demographic you draw? The site is great. The writing is intelligent and interesting, even if I don't always agree with it. And the comments alternate between brilliant and uproarious. As for the dumbass trolls who constantly post in order to berate the posters here (Smell that? That's irony!), whatever. I'm glad that they've at least grown out of the moronic AICN talkbacks (which I have as well). I just think they waste a lot of time. It's the equivalent of going to redstates.org and posting liberal comments. It's shooting fish in a barrel. It's silly and childish.

And mac - Good Lord yes, he's kidding. Come on now!

1. The original Casino Royale film, from what I understand, was deliberately turned into a Mel-Brooks-like spoof (there's one more spoofy Bond flick out there, too, but the name escapes me). Apparently the spoofing was the director's treatment of Fleming's first Bond book--not a reflection of the actual novel. The two films couldn't be any more different in their approaches, so I shouldn't let the "gags" in the earlier film dissuade people from seeing the new version.

(Bondies: feel free to correct me--this is just hearsay on my part, I'm no expert. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if there was a wheezy little voice escaping my starfish at this very moment.)

2. This new Paul Fieg thing reminds me of Rodriquez announcing "Spy Kids," back in the day. I was sure I would HATE it based on the premise (it sounded so freaking Disney), but it was surprisingly nothing like I expected. So take heart--perhaps there's an iota of hope, here.

3. The Weinsteins/Blockbuster thing...Good Christ. I'm afraid for once, on a given point, I'm speechless.

I agree on the awesomeness of Feig's previous work, and am willing to give him the benefit of a doubt. If I find myself during matinee hours looking for something to watch until my true choice comes on, I might check out Unaccompanied Minors. Oh wait. It has Wilmer Valderrama. Never mind.

When I can understand them, the comments can be really funny. I am quite far from a Lisa Loeb female (although she is quite attractive in those glasses), and never saw the point of the issue of Pajiba demographics. If you are acting like an ass, then you are an ass. Doesn't matter who you are or what you look like.

Of course, I have only just started commenting, so I don't have enough experience yet. Hopefully, I can be of the intelligent yet funny vareity.

Actually that *was* Woody Allen and Peter Sellers in the old Casino Royale.

I caught that movie on TV one day and was supremely disappointed that considering the writing talent listed (and not listed) in the credits it just wasn't funny.

Well, that's not entirely true. I did enjoy Woody Allen's bits. "They said Einstein was mad!" "No they didn't." "Well they would have if he had carried on like this."

I am a huge Bond fan but have been extremely dissapointed by the latest installements (basically everything after Goldeneye). WAY TOO MUCH CGI and stupid stupid references to previous films. Of course, when you have a franchise going on as long as the Bond Flix have, its tough not to get lazy.

That being said, I am looking forward to this current Bond. While I might agree with the CraigNotBond people, after looking a the trailers I can only find 1 scene with CGI which bodes well for the film. The thing about Bond films is that this guy does the impossible (stunts, girls, cars) in a real environment. Hopefully Casino Royale (remake and all) brings the franchise back to that place.

I read Pajiba everyday for the prose, reviews and snotty comments. I am 42yr old mother of 4 in IOWA.Thats right,IOWA. I guess that makes me the site loser, but I am trying to convert all of the iowans I know to read Pajiba and get a life. and please no dating corner, go somewhere else.

Twee, twee, twee....jeez, thats a fun word to say/type. *I heart twee* Anyway, divorced, 40-ish mom of 3 in the "crossroads of America" (that's COLTS country to the rest of the world. Prefer rock and roll to Lisa Loeb, but I do have glasses and I do work in an office. Although, since the advent of "Heroes" horn-rimmed glasses have taken on a whole new meaning.....

I LOVE the comments, and I heart Pajiba!!!

Yeah, I'll cop to it. I'm a 30-something chick, and I wear glasses. Lisa Loeb and Tina Fey have earned my undying thanks for inspiring me to turn my astigmatism into a fashion statement.

And I am not twee, dammit. Sure, I download every song that play's on Grey's Anatomy, and I can't type an email without using half a dozen emoticons, and I always ask for extra foam on my decaf soy caramel mochafrappilattecino from Starbucks, and I drive a pastel VW bug with a bumper sticker that reads "Practice Random Acts of Kindness and Senseless Beauty," but I am not...

Aw, shit...

What the hell:

Female, 36, glasses, smug, self-congratulatory - check.

On the contrarian side, I'm indifferent to LL, have never owned an mp3 player, am too secular/left-wing to vote for someone like John Kerry or anyone on a US Democratic ticket (if I lived in the US), I don't do bumperstickers and I work from home/in ivory tower lecture halls, not a corporate cubicle. I have also never typed "I heart [ ]."

Pidgeon-hole away--taxonomy makes the common man comfortable.

Hey, Bethann, you think Iowa's bad, try TEYAXASS.

Actually, no place is really the boonies any more. With an internet connection, anyone anywhere can be informed, erudite and sophisticated (or at least play at it).

I Spade my pets. I Club my spouse sometimes. I don't Heart much of anything except Pajiba.

If I want to see the movie being reviewed, I'll skip the actual review to avoid spoilers and just read the comments. I'm sure some people get involved in a type-fight and hit refresh every 90 seconds, just waiting for someone to swing back. Highly entertaining.
Anyway, I stopped watching Bond movies after Roger Moore left which, coincidentally, is when I began using thought and humor that extended beyond baseball cards and poop jokes. Anyone can write a Bond script. Just find a website or book that lists cliches and bad puns, throw some explosions and brother-on-sister-like sex scenes in with a slightly altered version of the same villain that could feel comfortable standing behind Hitler at a Nuremburg rally in 1937 and you have yourself a screenplay. Now go out there and be somebody!

Alright, I'll play...

The people that come here are somewhat smug and self-congratulatory. They seem to be primarily female, probably between the ages of 25-35, I can see them with their Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers, Faint mp3s, horn-rimmed glasses and office jobs. They also type excruciatingly twee things like "I heart this site" or *hides self-esteem under the bed*.

Where were we? Oh.

Faint mp3s? I do not understand the reference. I do, however, have a pink metallic covered iPod, whereupon I listen to Bill Maher podcasts and LOTS of Coldplay, James Taylor, Sarah McLachlan and Young Dubliners. Does that count?

Horn-rimmed glasses? Bzzzzz! I have GIANT BLACK SUNGLASSES, like any self-respecting/self-loathing Los Angeles woman between the ages of 17 and 61. It is only when wearing these glasses while bemoaning the fact that we quit smoking 6 months ago and have gained what seems like a pound per day, while perusing the latest Star/Us/In Style issue simultaneously berating and lionising Nicole Richie for her "pin-thin frame" and SUPERB fashion sense that we can truly feel to the closest degree how worthless we really are in this town and, let's face it, on this planet, because we are NOT pin-thin and stylish and rich and young, and wearing those big-ass black sunglasses only serves to EMPHASIZE that fact...

Where was I? Oh.

Office jobs? Bzzzzzt! Boy, you've been off-base for a few items in a row now... I'm starting to worry. As stated elsewhere, I am a political writer/blogger, so unless you count my Ikea-replete living room as an office, that'll be another bzzzzzt.

Typing excrutiatingly twee things like...? Bzzzzzzt! I type excrutiatingly PRETENTIOUS things like, well, that run-on sentence posing as a paragraph above, for example. And lots and lots of what some people call "obscenities," but which I call "my motherfucking style."

So. I'm too bored to count them up, but I think you scored about 50%, which earns a failing grade. So, whoever yopu are, if you happen upon this -- get thee to a couple psychology classes at your local community college and get back to me.

How's THAT for smug and self-congratulatory?

* Makes that face while swaying her jaw and making s a z in the air with snapping fingers, in the manner of a homegirl, but so badly it would reduce said homegirls to trying to decide whether to fall on the floor in hysterical laughter, or beat the shit out of me. *

Okay, I'll give you the "twee."

MSOC makes me giggle.

I'll bite too:
Female? Nope.
Between 25-35? Damn. Yes.
Kerry-Edwards sticker? Nope. I'm opposed to bumper stickers.
Faint Mp3's? Shit! Right again.
Horn Rimmed glasses? Um, no.
Office job? Yup, though I do spend some time knee deep in muck, so does that even it out a little?
And I've never used the word "twee" in my life, though I do enjoy "squee", "twitter" and the aforementioned "giggle".

Fuck it, "I Am Never Wrong" is a dipshit anyway.

Man, since we're doing roll call here.
Female, religious, tends to vote republican. Apparently, I'm the anti-christ.

But damn, the Pajiba movie reviews tend to be spot on. Maybe THAT'S why I read 'em?

Delurking for the demographics game. Married Female, age 48, Paralegal for Custom Home Builder in Las Vegas, NV. I read Pajiba because it gives the most honest opinions and reviews. And also the comments leave me giggleliciously verklempt. And oh yeah, I wear Tracy Ellis eyewear, but not horn rimmed (although it's close)!! And in closing I'd just like to add -- I heart the word "squee".

MSOC - How do you get the different font sizes and Bold to appear? I need to enter codes before and after my text?

Female. 35.Black & Hispanic. No glasses. No bumper stickers. Not sure what twee is. Think the reviews are dead on and am a junkie for clever writing, blog authors and commetors alike.
I do wonder why some folks get so damn pissy on these sites, though... I suppose whatever keeps you from cutting yourself of beating your girlfriend up is okay in my book, "I am Never Wrong". PSYCHO.

Since it's the trend:

Female?: Last, I checked, no.
Between 25-35?: No, 22.
Kerry-Edwards sticker?: No. I liked Kerry but like the last person, I detest bumper stickers. (I do giggle when I see one though!)
Faint Mp3's?: I have a white iPod. (Love my Mugglecasts!)
Horn Rimmed glasses?: I do ware glasses but not horn rimmed.
Office job?: Gosh! First time you're right! (It had to happen eventually!)
"Twee" or "Heart"?:I don't use the words "twee" or I "heart" something.

Well, 1 out of 7 is not bad... Who the hell am I kidding?! Looks like "I'm Never Wrong" is not usually right either... Shame really. I need to start looking for another hero! I wonder if Dustin or Seth is available?

OK folks, the demographic call out is turning the comment section into a bunch of Myspace "About Me" sections.

okay, am i the only one that's totally stoked about the king dork movie thing? if i am, there's something wrong with the world.

Female?: no.
Between 25-35?: 27.
Kerry-Edwards sticker?: No. No car, no bumper sticker. my support goes with my vote. which was for Kerry/Edwards. someone strap a good Presidential candidate to Obama's VP please!
Faint Mp3's?: no. no iPod either. read a damn book on the subway.
Horn Rimmed glasses?: don't need glasses.
Office job?: yep.
"Twee" or "Heart"?: huh? I guess that is a "no."

and yes, I do stroll the comments for the reasons cited above. the comments here are great.

re: new 007. I've been a 007 fan since I was very little. I had VHS to VHS dubs all over the haus. I have all the Connery/Moore on VHS. The Brosnan thing went straight downhill. and the whole "darker" thing is what they went with Timothy Dalton (from Flash Gordon!). I like Mr. Craig's look, and Judi Dench as M (still a great casting choice - will Cleese return as Q?), but, eh...I dunno if I can drop NYC movie ticket prices on it yet...

Female? Yes!
Between 25-35? 30
Kerry-Edwards sticker? Nope.
Mp3? iPod Nano given as a gift, still in box.
Glasses? Nope.
Office job? Yes.

I have admittedly used *your action here* but have never said "I HEART...".

I too come to Pajiba for fairly trustworthy and entertaining movie reviews. I read the comment threads on nearly every website I frequent. I suppose they give me a little voyeuristic perspective on how other people perceive movies/video clips/news articles...etc.

Here we go.

Female?: Indeed.
Between 25-35?: No, 16.
Kerry-Edwards sticker?: I probably would if I was american, had a car and would ever consider having a damn bumper sticker
Faint Mp3's?: Faint? I have an iPod called iTilly, but I wouldn't say faint.
Horn Rimmed glasses?: No, but they totally would be if I wore glasses.
Office job?: I'm a student, but aspiring astrophysicist... so yeah, I'll probably end up sitting in a Starbucks for hours with a pink laptop drinking cold coffee
"Twee" or "Heart"?: Everything's twee in Julia's world. I don't heart much though, I'm a miserable git.

I caught casino royale on telly when I was about 10 and remember being confused, because it wasn't the REAL James Bond. It was crazy. I mean, all former James Bonds just sorta merge into eachother at that age and I couldn never tell the difference (except Connery, Connery rocks) but this guy, who the fuck was that? Anyway, seeing the new one with the OAP in it this weekend.

psh

Not too frequent a poster, but I might as well join in: female, 28, 20/20 vision, work for a politician, disagree with most of his politics...still have my 'John Kerry For President' baby-doll tee. And I big, glittery heart Pajiba..it's become part of my morning routine.

Julia - Faint is a band

This time with the correct link
http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=FAINT&sql=11:ruabqj5iojka~T0

No demographic info is forthcoming, but based on the comments, which I read voraciously, I'd say most people are over 35 if only because of the amazingly high percentage of posters who can actually construct a sentence complete with all requisite components (and yes, I know there are a few under 35 outliers who probably can do this also, but you are few and far between). But I am in hearty agreement with those who find Pajiba commentators more entertaining than others.
My favourite post to date:
On the discussion of songs from musicals several weeks ago, a poster noted that Sound of Music was forever dead to her because it inspired her parents to name her after one of the characters. About seven posts down, someone wrote "Edelweiss, is that you?" I'm still laughing.

As far as the demographic, I am male, 22, college grad in political science, without a job, wear contacts, have an ipod I haven't used in a while, am an independent who voted for neither Kerry or Bush just to spite the system, and listen to classic hard rock and metal.

I was a fan of Brosnan as Bond. I think it is a generation thing with the Bond franchise. Goldeneye hit me right at the perfect age and the video game that spawned from it is one of the greatest ever. I loved Goldeneye and I thought a couple of the latest films have had their moments. I will probably like Craig, but not as much as Brosnan

42 yo GWM, shaved head, ISO Pajiba-reading GWM for LTR ASAP. U2 on MP3. L8R

Siobhan, that was me who was named after the Sound of Music, and the Edelweiss comment *still* makes me spit up beverages every now and then. I wish I remembered who said it.

But, I was named after a male character in SOM, since I am... well... male.

But that was the moment I truly appreciated the comments section.

And Brosnan was a stuffy, borderline effete, Bond (IMO). Craig looks to be a real return to the Bond of Flemings books, which is a good thing. The thing about Bond was - he wasn't a smooth womanizer, or a playboy, or any of those things. He was a stone killer who was *really good* at pretending to be those things, to get the job done.

Just a little history lesson on the old Casino Royale: One studio bought the rights to Casino Royale. For whatever reason, they never got around to making it (no good script, no money--whatever. One of those things). Meanwhile, another studio bought the rights to Dr. No and actually got it made, as I'm sure you all recall. Now, studio #1 has the rights to a movie it can't really make (Connery's contract had all sorts of exclusivity clauses, and who wanted to make a Bond film without Connery?), so it decided to cash in on the success of Dr. No & the burgeoning Bond franchise by turning Casino Royale into a Bond spoof. Hence Woody and Peter and--correct me if I'm wrong, here--David Niven.

At least that's the way I heard it.

"Bub the Stud" folks! Pick him up before he's gone! No takers? Good! He's mine!

Weinsteins/Blockbuster: I haven't been in a Blockbuster since 1991? 1992? (Haven't been in a Hollywood Video in a good tens years either.)


And The Brothers W have long since pissed me off with their constant purchasing, butchering and refusal to release the asian films they purchase. Bastards.


However, their years of influence and relevance are well-past and now thankfully history. Hooray!




James Bond film: I can tell you the exact moment I said to myself, "Good God, I will never see another Bond film again the rest of my life."


Octopussy, first run. Bond flying airplane sideways through closing airport hanger doors. Flys out other side.


Wow. Like we thought it would turn out differently. Massive indifference & Bond apathy showered over me.


The Transporter films are the new, improved, better Bond type film.

HAH, "I Am Never Wrong,"... Get your facts straight! I am a self-congratulatory twenty-FOUR year old, with cats-eyes glasses, an "OBAMA!" bumper sticker and a teaching job.

And my MP3s are never faint. I play 'em so loud I'll probably go deaf.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

That said, you are right on about "Let's Go To Prison." When I saw Will Arnett was going to be in it and that it had very likely a lame and contrived Brokeback parody element to it, I wanted to weep the death of GOB Bluth.

Oh fine,

Female, yes.
25-35, yes.
Kerry sticker, yes (tattered, but still there).
Glasses, no switched to contacts (btw my husband loves Lisa Loeb, loves her, so maybe I should be wearing said glasses...)
i-pod nano (I'm so uncool)
No office job. I, too, teach and am also in a fairly out of the way state -- New Mexico (yes, a *state* - at least no one mistakes Iowa for a foreign country.
Finally, am not at all 'twee', but do love Pajiba!

male. 34. engaged. soon-to-be-unemployed office worker. complicated registered republican who voted 50/50 for dems and reps this time, but I find it amusing to bait communist feminazi tree-huggers (though I do admire their passion) and I despise the religious Moral Majority assholes (did anyone hear that Ted Haggard is gay? he he). I wear glasses (but not horn rims) and I am definitely smug and self-conratulatory. Hooray for my elitism! don't have an ipod/mp3 player as, like my response to this thread, I am usually a couple steps behind everyone else.
Also, I am dumb enough to mispronounce Pajiba, even though I know better.

Who's the lucky SOB who gets to review Happy Feet?

Being the lemming (tastes of human, sir!) that I am I will come down from my high loft/ivory tower/basement and meddle with the mortals

I am 25, not in the least self-congratulatory, but I am smug. *winks*...Last time I checked I was male, but with the world as it is today that could change at a moments notice...I abhorred Kerry/Edwards (Hurray! Hurray!) and I would most certainly not put such a sticker on my vehicle (I prefer "I heart Super Vibracion!")...As for music, Faint is the farthest from the truth. Try anything from Slayer to Michael Buble and you might peg me down, but let it be known that that list would never contain Faint...No horn-rimmed glasses here, just glasses...A wonderful office job, at which I am currently at, at a meat-packing plant (I heart meat!!!)...and I will twee ocassionally *smacks head at the admission*...Oh, and I heart ellipses

TK: Glad you got in touch. I'm so sorry, I just assumed you were female. The fact that you're male makes the "Edelweiss" comment even more hilarious. I also wish I could remember who posted it. Now whenever I see your posts, I'll think "ah yes, there goes Edelweiss again"!

A no for all of those questions.

Don't know if someone else has said this, but the "Casino Royale" that was on BBC was a made-for-TV spoof from the 70s. The new one (based on an actual Ian Fleming novel) is some bullshit story about a poker game. Whoop-de-effin-do.

And although female, I am not Loeb-esque. At all.

To me, Paul Feig will always be the skinny guy in Heavyweights, covered in chocolate syrup.

And I am not (yet) 25, and.. vaguely Loeb-esque. (I have glasses. Does that count?) Also, Canadian, but I probably would've voted for Kerry, had I the chance. (At least I didn't vote for Harper.) No office job, though. Sigh. Damn pie-making job.

"And my MP3s are never faint. I play 'em so loud I'll probably go deaf."

Hear, hear. I've been known to crank my music, and have been caught rocking out on the walk home.

Will probably end up checking out Casino Royale this weekend, as the brat is a Bond geek. Otherwise, Stranger than Fiction, and the Illusionist (YAY $5 Theatre!)

Siobhan, now I'm thinking of switching from TK to Edelweiss... hmmm...

Yes, I (for the most part, being slightly younger and Canadian) fit the described demographic; HOWEVER, I find it more than a little weird that some of the commenters took it upon themselves to write so self-gratifyingly, offering up paragraph upon paragraph of ego-talk here. What the hell, ladies? Close your browser and get back to that report before the boss catches you! After I post this I know I will. And no more of that *heart* shit!

Well, not only do I get a mention from the main man, but everyone took it upon themselves to prove me right/wrong. I think I hit the mark a decent bit. Yeah, it was a generalization, of course not everyone is like that, but a lot of you are. Besides, I was just irked that everyone was picking on "Joe" just for speaking his mind. What does that say about us? Hell, if someone came on here talking up Freddie Prinze Jr movies then by Odin that's his right.

I will say I'm shocked that hardly anyone knew who the Faint was. They're a band on Saddle Creek records. Most of you would probably like them.

Anyway, no offense meant, all in good fun, just can't cotton to self-congratulatory smugness, so let's be a little more civil to our red-staters and mainstreamers out there, huh? We're all complicated little wonders, like gay Republicans or racist Democrats.

I'm off to listen to my Cat Power mp3s... oh, I'm such a hypocrite.

I Am Never Wrong, to quote Peter Venkman, I'm gonna take back some of the things I said about you.

Internet hugs all around!

Not that anyone cares, but I hate being pigeon-holed. So take your demographic and suck it.



Female? Yeah. I'm pretty surprised at how many readers are, though. For some reason, I just pictured a lot of male hipster neo-geeks.



Between 25-35? I'm 16.



Kerry-Edwards sticker? Don't have a car yet. Or a license. I would have voted democratic if I could've, but I think bumper stickers are stupid.



mp3? Yeah, but whatever the hell "Faint mp3"s are, I dont have that. I listen to a lot of different stuff, mostly classic rock or indie. Little bit of hair metal and grunge.



Glasses? Yes, but if I do ever get horn-rimmed glasses, it'll mean that I'm killing myself the next day.



Office job? No. I'm a senior in high-school.

I will agree though, most of the posters try really fucking hard to be clever. And it shows.



*pretends to be ironic by using asterisk-quotes in subjectless third person*

(but who the hell is Lisa Loeb?)

bleh, honey, you aren't old enough to remember Lisa Loeb.

I'll bite:

Female: Yes.
Between 22 and 35: Why yes, I'm 23.
Kerry/Edwards sticker: No, I don't put stickers on my car.
Faint MP3s: Yes, I have an iPod, and yes, I like The Faint. I also like other pretentious bands like Stars, Metric, and Mates Of State.
Glasses: Yes, but I tend to wear contacts more often.
Office job: Yes and no. I work in a health center and divide my time between the clinic and my office upstairs.
Twee: You're goddamn right I am. I'm really motherfucking profane, too. Bitches. *spews off stream of curses*

Female,

28,

I have bumper stickers, but nothing political. Mine are about worshiping the Goddess and loving my pitbulls.

I have an Ipod, it makes flying easier.

I don't know who the Faint are, but they sound like they wear eyeliner and not ironically.

Yes, I wear the Loeb glasses. Also, I have similar hair. But I don't wear khakis, I hate Starbucks and people who order things grande and venti, and I cringe at those smiley/frowny wastes of useful grammar tools.

No office job, I'm a children's librarian. I'm from Arkansas, so I'm betting that I catch more shit than people from Iowa (though probably not Texas).

And what the fuck does "twee" mean?

Gee, "I am Never Wrong" left out the part about our numerous cats and the tubs of ice cream we cry into while we watch Lifetime Television for Womens. I am thinking maybe "I am Never Original" might be a more appropriate name.

Why people come to this site, which is obviously written by mostly left-leaning contributors who are not quiet about said leaning, and then complain about the fact that mostly left-leaning people comment. Don't you have some FOX News to watch or something? (See, I can be unoriginal, too!)

Is twee perhaps a misspelled "tween"? OMG I HEART I amNeverWrong. Y'all got pwned. Wait, did I just cross over from tween to l33t?

Well, someone's gotta do it...I will stand up and say, I liked the original 'Casino Royale' with David Niven, Woody Allen, Orson Welles (!), Peter Sellars, Deborah Kerr, and Ursual Andress. This may have something to do with first seeing it at age 10, and thinking Ursula was a goddess on earth. I believe I was stoned most other times I saw it. Hey, Netflix it and try it.
A lot of the humor was vaudeville-corny, but a lot was subtle and laugh-out-loud. Like -
SPOILER ALERT! For the book, haven't seen the new movie -

In the book, Bond is captured by the villain, whom he's just fleeced in a card game. The villain tortures Bond by tieing him naked in a chair with no bottom, and beating Bond's balls with a carpet-beater. Not sure we'll see that one in the new movie. So, in the movie, Orson Welles (who never breaks character once) captures Peter Sellars as Bond, who wakes up in a chair with no bottom. Sellars comments on this, and Welles rather blandly says, "Yes, we've been meaning to get that re-upholstered..."
Stuff like that. I say rent it!
Oh yeah,
age 41
Contact lenses
Kerry bumper sticker, in South Carolina
Not a LL fan, but she can rock a black thong my way any day. Hey, it just popped up! On the internet! In this room I was passing by, and I turned my head to sneeze, and....

I am actually pretty horrified by how spot on that description was.

The people that come here are somewhat smug and self-congratulatory. They seem to be primarily female, probably between the ages of 25-35, I can see them with their Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers, Faint mp3s, horn-rimmed glasses and office jobs. They also type excruciatingly twee things like "I heart this site" or *hides self-esteem under the bed*.

Me: 26, female, liberal, office job and I do actually have a bunch of Mp3's of The Faint. Considering I'm the only person I know who even knows who they are, I was never aware that occasionally enjoying their music branded me as any sort of stereotype. No glasses as I naturally have 20/20 vision thank you. And as evidenced in that last sentence, I can definitely be smug and self-congratulatory. But clearly the writer of the quoted statement is guilty of that, too. And so what?

However, I never type the kind of crap that's in the last two sentences.

So I am the person being described in that arrogant statement, but I don't really see a problem here. Smart writing attracts smart people, hence my Pajibaship. I am not ashamed.

I thought the Pajiba demographic was summed up in the title--bitchy people. I qualify! 32, left-leaning mother of two married to a right-leaning accountant--I tend to hide my bitchiness under a serene exterior, though.
