Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Back in the Pajiba
The Daily Trade Round-Up / Daniel Carlson
Right now, this second, how much do you love me? Because whatever the answer, it’s about to be a lot less. I’ve got some news that’s so dumb it can’t really qualify as what you’d think of as “bad news”; that would imply some kind of scale of quality, and way that the item in question could in some way have been less terrible. But there’s really no way to sugarcoat this one. Disney is planning another sequel in its Step Up franchise, which isn’t surprising given their relatively low cost and success with the kids who like dance porn — the film cost $20 million to make but made $28.7 million in its first weekend, and when you figure in the rest of its run and DVD sales, the numbers just get sadder. But oh, the tentative title of film says it all: Step Up 3-D. Yes, Step Up 2 the Streets helmer John Chu is in talks to direct the 3-D film. Baggy pants, exposed midriffs, teens acting “fresh”: all in 3-D, presented in a hellish, inescapable perversion of projection technology that’s downright terrifying to think about for too long. I don’t even like Channing Tatum in two dimensions. I don’t know if I could take him lunging at me like the Terminator at Universal Studios.
And hey, let’s follow up that bad news with some more bad news: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who built his career as a wrestler by convincing dimwitted teenage boys that he’s a badass and has since proven to be just one giant spotlight-hungry ham, will star as the title character in Fox’s The Tooth Fairy. The film will begin production in August under the directorial auspices of Michael Lembeck, who helmed The Santa Clause 2 and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause. His Rockness will play a regular guy who, for reasons I do not care to know, is brought in to try and save the tooth fairy kingdom from whatever evils have befallen it, like gingivitis. If you have kids, please, don’t take them to see this. Give them a book, or punch them in the throat.
In geek news, Jonathan Mostow (U-571, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines With Inflatable Breasts) is partnering with Virgin Comics to develop a film based on its graphic novel The Megas, which was based on Mostow’s idea in the first place. Written by John Harrison with art by Peter Rubin, the book takes place in an America where an elite ruling class, the Megas, lives by their own special laws which are eventually challenged by a detective investigating a crime among them. Mostow hasn’t been named as writer or director yet, so who knows what specific role he’ll wind up playing. I haven’t read the book yet, but I’m wary of the Virgin’s Director’s Cut line, which also features titles created by the deeply flawed Guy Ritchie and John Woo. I’m cautious, but not yet optimistic.
I would like at this point to apologize to The Rock for besmirching his reputation. True, he makes terrible movies, but he could also crush me into a fine paste, and I’d rather not have him on my enemies list. I’ve already got Edith Piaf’s family up my ass, so I might as well make friends with a guy who could double as a bodyguard.
Well, after all that terrible news, I needs me some Audrey Tautou. First up in this morning’s trailer watch is Priceless, a lighthearted comedy about a womanizing jewel thief who presumably gets into trouble while looking adorable. Here’s the French trailer for those so inclined, and the English-narrated version is below:
Next is the clip for Married Life, a film about a guy who tries to kill his wife so he can get out of the marriage and take up with his mistress. And it’s a comedy! Enjoy:
Finally, here’s the trailer for Smart People, which feels similar to Sideways in that the leads both are cynical men with beards. Take a look:

Yeah you BETTER apologize to The Rock little man, as one of the MILLIONS and MILLIONS of fans I can assure you he could layeth the smacketh on the Carlson ass.
The Megas sounds like a political thriller, are you sure it's not about a special prosecutor investigating the Republican Party?

Well...now "Smart People" looks like it's something I'll bother watching. Because I love Ellen Page. Here's where they went wrong: Sarah Jess-"I look like an emaciated horse, but have managed to fool everyone into thinking I'm actually attractive"-ca Parker. Yikes.
"Married life" looks like fun. I hope they have a good reason as to why he can't just...y'know...divorce her. What are they? Catholic?
Why would anyone want to watch dance porn in 3D? I don't get it. Is it the thing now? We make everything 3D? Even U2 is now in 3D. Because Bono's ego has to be experienced in all its glory.

Last week at a showing of "The Savages" (which I thought was quite good), I saw the "Married Life" trailer. Immediately, I thought of socalled and wondered what he would think about that ingrate Chris Cooper trying to off his beloved Patricia.
If that isn't a testament to what a complete Pajiba dork, I've become then I just don't know what it.
At that same showing, I saw the trailer for "Miss Pettigrew Has a Day" (or something like that) with Frances McDormand. Looks like a period trifle, but features the delectible

The only way I'd view a "dance porn" film would be Clockwork Orange-style (i.e., in restraints with my eyelids taped open); but the impression I get of them makes them sound a lot like the musical/dance scenes in Bollywood movies.
Anybody here besides me got a weakness for Bollywood? Mine's just a small one...
Posted by: Jerce at February 28, 2008 7:41 AM
Ok, admittedly the Rock is kind of a ham, and the Tooth Fairy project sounds hideous. It probably only got green-lit because some Studio Exec. with a brain the size of a kumquat got the giggles thinking about the Rock in a little pair of sparkly pink wings and a tutu.
That said, I'd still hit it. And he's single now, so I wouldn't even feel bad about it later.
Posted by: Genny at February 28, 2008 7:44 AM
So is Priceless cute and lighthearted because it is French? Because it looks like poop on a stick to me.
Married Life looks interesting, but pairing Rachel McAdams and Chris Cooper is more far fetched than any Apatow pairing if you ask me. And you didn't.
Smart People had me until, as joker said, SJP and her witch nose popped up. Why is she cast as the female love interest? There are other more attractive actresses with more talent in the same age range as SJP. Hire them.

Married Life, ay? If it can be as funny as Death Becomes Her or Throw Momma from the Train....... or is it going down that weird, weird path of War of the Roses?
Posted by: JS at February 28, 2008 7:47 AM
You forgot to mention Smart People also features Thomas Haden Church, another common thread with Sideways. Of course, tat one is kinda obvious.
But seriously, you should watch your back, because (if the Game Plan comment thread is any indication) I don't think too many of the females (and some of the males) are going to appreciate your feelings on Mr. Johnson.

Thank you so much for that Sports Night reference =)
Posted by: hoorah at February 28, 2008 8:18 AM
I wish the trailers weren't blocked by my corporate overlords. Smart People sounds intriguing.
The Rock as the motherfreakin' tooth fairy? What the hell is he trying to do; wasn't he already in a dumb kids' movie? I feel somewhat vindicated for having always considered him a bit of a douche (he's a wrestler, after all). Yet I feel a little less special, as I suspect I'm no longer going to be in the minority on that.
Oh, and Dan: "...please, don't take them to see this. Give them a book, or punch them in the throat. " = me snickering in my cubicle. Thanks for that!

Hello, Daniel,
Thanks for the terrifying news. Dance porn indeed...
As a side note, Priceless isn't about a female jewel thief. It's a nice comedy with Gad Elmaleh and Audrey Tautou about two 'gigolos', that would be, people who sell their charms to older, richer people.
Sorry, couldn't let it pass (I'm French).
Love for the Pajiba.
Catherine

Did you just say John Woo was deeply flawed? I don't think I can come here anymore.
Okay, yes, I know he's flawed, but I love him anyway. Even Face/Off. But don't bring it up, we just accept it and move on.
Posted by: Snath at February 28, 2008 8:59 AM
Dan, you know I love you, but I'm really not sure how you got "jewel thief" out of the Priceless trailer. The movie's hilarious (although Audrey Tautou needs to eat a sandwich--or two or three), but it's about a golddigger and poor hotel worker who she gets in trouble after he falls in love with her. Although adorable antics do ensue.
Posted by: nadja at February 28, 2008 9:00 AM
Thanks for mentioning it, Catherine. I was also wondering where that jewel thief came in, but I figured it probably wasn't in the trailer or something...I frankly wasn't interested enough. I love Tautou, but that trailer was a bit too meh. Or it could be the hangover.
Posted by: joker at February 28, 2008 9:01 AM
The Rock continues to disappoint me. Seriously, I've got no love for wrestling, but the guy should be a super duper star. He's good looking, tough, funny,and loaded with charisma... and yet he persists in acting in complete and utter shit. I don't know if Disney is holding a family member hostage or what. Ah, well.
Posted by: TK at February 28, 2008 9:05 AM
*waiting for the spammer*
where an elite ruling class, the Megas, lives by their own special laws which are eventually challenged by a detective investigating a crime among them.
Is it just me, or did 'Powers' and 'Watchmen' have vaguely the same impetus? Hell, even 'The Incredibles' started out with 'hey look, missing heroes!'
*jots down in notebook = 'superhero murder' + 'plucky detective' = Eisner award*

After reading your first line I have now been running through that entire Sports Night episode in my head (yes, I can do that...sad I know)
Thanks
Thanks a lot Dan
(no, actually thank you, I really have nothing else holding me over until Friday at this point....)
Posted by: Bethy at February 28, 2008 9:19 AM
Dance porn. In 3D. Really. Was this something someone felt we needed? Did an exec sit a bunch of other execs down, brainstorm out more ways to bring teens to theatres, and some genius remembered Michael Jackson's Captain EO at Disney and just knew that was what we've been itching for?
And Rock....seriously...the big tough guy in a cutesy family flick doesn't work. It didn't work for Ahnuld, it didn't work for Hulk...I don't see why you're not picking up the hint yet. Go make another action thriller (hell, at this point, go do Mummy 3)...just stop being a complete douche and letting your daughter pick out your scripts.

Yup. I haven't missed much. Still a bunch of shitty people making shitty movies which results in shitty news. Horrible news. Bad news.
Step Up 3-D?! I think I'd rather have someone slowly slip a ballpoint pen in my dick hole than have to even watch a trailor for that. I mean...at least ball point pens in the dick hole has the possibility of being a fetish. Step Up? That's just fucking painful.

I have yet to see The Gameplan, and don't plan on it. None of my friends are ever going to see it either. I'm just gonna sit back and remember The Rock fondly as a badass sheriff or assassin and ignore him from now on.
...hmmm...it's sad that his movie achievements to date are playing a CGI scorpion with no lines....and The Rundown.

I have a friend who looks kind of like The Rock. Seriously, sometimes it's scary.
Smart People looks pretty good, and seems to clear up any questions about Ellen Page's acting. I do love her so. I am, however, sick of SJP and her hair. Can't she at least try to look different in every movie?
Posted by: Kolby at February 28, 2008 9:47 AM
PISSBOY! Where ya been, love?
Posted by: Kolby at February 28, 2008 9:48 AM
Huh, I have to say, I don't get the physical appeal of The Rock at all, TK. I guess as large muscley types go, he's not so bad, but that sort just doesn't do it for me.
And I hate wrestling with a passion, so that adds to the unappeal. I prefer to see a near-naked, sweaty man on top of ME, rather than some other near-naked, sweaty guy. (heehee!)
HallsyHatesU, thanks! You go and enjoy the film with your buddies, and I will continue to enjoy being in the elite (OK, maybe not elite...exclusive, though!) group of people who can't stand the dude.

Who else is with me on this? Given the option of sticking my penis in SJP or fucking a shoebox full of nails, how many people would first ask if the nails were rusty? No matter how painful, they're about 81.6% less annoying.
Posted by: PissBoy at February 28, 2008 9:52 AM
Thanks all! Good to be back. I've actually felt a void the last 10 days or so. But with no free time at work and then a few days of some pretty bad news the break was more forced than anything.

Just saw LA Story for the first time this weekend. It was a fantastic movie almost all the way through...except for one part - SJP. It jarred me out of the movie to see her cast as a PYT...every time she was on the screen, I wanted to vomit. I'm gonna have to agree with you, PissBoy...it's not even worth saying you did an actress. At this point, I'd stalk and bag Britney paparazzi-style through the slobbering hysterics and mental breakdowns before I even considered holding hands with SJP.
Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at February 28, 2008 10:07 AM
You know, it's funny, Dakaron... I've always felt that was the one movie where she didn't annoy me. Maybe it's because she was younger and not the SaTC cultural juggernaut of awful that she is now, maybe because the role was so unpretentious, but I thought she was actually decent. Everything since... no. Not at all.
Posted by: TK at February 28, 2008 10:12 AM
I have to say that I liked SJP until fairly recently. I didn't quite get her character in The Family Stone (I don't know why, but I do like that movie a lot - I watch it whenever it's on), and since then it just seems to me like she's holding onto what's left of her youth with both hands. It's annoying, and I wish she's start playing women her own age - and try a different hair style for chrissakes.
Posted by: Kolby at February 28, 2008 10:18 AM
I don't know what it is...even when I was younger and didn't know better, I didn't like her, I didn't find her attractive, and I subconsciously tried to avoid most movies she was in. I barely tolerated her in Hocus Pocus, I cheered her death in Mars Attacks, and I only watched State and Main because I didn't know she was in it.
Once SatC hit, it was all over. My tolerance for a mediocre actress became full-blown hate.

Hey ya, PissBoy! There's definitely been a big gaping hole in the comment threads where your rants would have fit snugly.
And yes, I have seen "The Fall" trailer-several times while cursing my poopy computer for not letting me watch it full screen. It looks like fabulous eye candy with a tasty Lee Pace chocolate coating. "The Cell" may have been utter dreck, but those moments when the director (whose name escapes me) was able to cut lose was like watching a hallucinogenic Dutch masters painting come to life. Also, I have such fond memories of the "Losing My Religion" video.
As for all the SJP hate, I may not thinks she's the best actress in the entire world, but from what I've seen and read of her in interviews, she seems like a genuinely nice person. Someone I'd like to grab a coffee with. And lawd knows, I am no beauty, so mocking her looks is all kinds of pot calling the kettle black.

Pissboy: if you read up the thread you'll see there's a spambot for some bullshit dating site. It's been popping EVERYWHERE. Interestingly, it seems to pick up on the current conversation and uses it to make it fit within the thread.

I thought of socalled and wondered what he would think about that ingrate Chris Cooper trying to off his beloved Patricia.
Well, if there's anyone who's deserving of her charms, it's the best actor working today, Chris Cooper, but you're right, it appears he does not appreciate the wonder of Patricia Clarkson. Rachel McAdams is absolutely delectable, but the age difference does seem obnoxious. Now it seems from the trailer, however, that Patricia gets her own boy-toy. But why did they dye her hair? I like a red-head as much as the next man, but in the words of Forrest Whitaker, "Don't fuck with it." The presence of Pierce Brosnan is promising, given his facility with dark, twisted comedy, e.g., The Matador.
Re the Tooth Fairy, they should have just made a straight-up bizarro comedy about how the Tooth Fairy is the absolute last person one would expect, then cast Michael Clarke Duncan trying to wiggle through windows and not scare the bejeesus out of suburban white kids trained to fear large black men. That has potential.
Re Dance Porn: Did you say the kids like it? Then I. Don't. Like. It. Now get the fuck off my lawn.
Posted by: socalledonlycousins at February 28, 2008 10:51 AM
yeah...i got that about 9 seconds after I hit 'post comment'. I just want to meet a guy named 'Dance Porn.' Because I would bow to him. Anyone with the word 'porn' in his/her name is cool in my book.
Random note...some dude who worked on that movie Vacancy was named Eric Porn. (i think.) Noticed it one night sitting through the closing credits on Skinimax...er...errr...umm. TLC. Yeah. There was going to be this really great feature about leaves or something. Maybe it was cows. TLC is the bomb.

That Parker woman. Couldn't follow her after "Square Pegs". Wasn't feeling "Girls Just Want To Have Fun". Never saw it despite the great enjoyment it gave my mom and sister (though I did give in to watching "Shag" once...which wasn't all that bad). At least her hair was better in "Mars Attacks!", if fake. Anyway, I didn't think we were going to have a problem just leaving each other alone. Then suddenly she's strutting around in ugly clothes and shoes as an ostensible sex bomb, and being resoundingly praised for it. Now I was forced to actively hate. I mean, I'm scared of those characters anyway, but I generally prefer my scary maneaters to not be horsefaced space dogs, ya know?
And Zooey Deschanel goes and makes a movie with her. Dammit, Zooey! Gimme more Trillian and less offputting costars!

So if you happened to catch the almighty cheese-fest known as American Gladiators, you may have seen a "gladiator" by the name of Toa. Supposedly, this guy is The Rock's cousin/stunt double. Maybe that explains the stream of crap, said cousin was too busy with Galdiators.

My all time favorite "for some reason i laugh at his name when i hear it" name is some NASCAR driver named Kurt Bush. I'm an A.E. at my company and one of the campaigns I work on is NASCAR. His name is like a tiny fart noise manifested in text form on the paper in front of me.

Not trying to be an asshole, but I'm a little confused: Audrey Tautou is a womanizing jewel thief, or you mean the guy?
I hope this one pans out better for Audrey than that awful "DaVinci Code", which gave her nothing to do but to be chased alongside a middle aged, balding Tom Hanks. I heart her. Even when she's holding the cigarette she looks dainty and adorable.
The Tooth Fairy looks like it's in the same vein as Fred Claus. Didn't Fred Claus tank in the box office?

Dude. Seriously. You do NOT want drag queens mad at you.
As for Bollywood vs dance porn, I'll go with Bollywood any day. Number 1, the music is generally much better. Number 2, because Bollywood is typically in Hindi, it's cute, but because dance porn is in English the stupid sucks my will to live.

And repeating your original statement but adding a few extra words. How novel. It's like a mom who tells her child 'Because' as a reason for a decision. The she reiterates by saying 'Because I said so.' Well played sir. Well played you master of the podium.

I confess I'm a sucker for Smart People (alive and onscreen) especially since it has Thomas Hayden Church, that song from Singles, and my old car. Yes, I have fond memories of my used white '89 Saab...*sigh*.
Posted by: Amanda47 at February 28, 2008 11:13 AM
MO - I was just jerkin' your chain a little, but that does sound like a flick I can take my niece to and have a good time. I do dig the Rock and I don't think he deserves all the negativity. The Rundown was good and he was hilarious in Get Shorty 2. I think everyone needs to at least wait for a trailer before condemning this one.
Everyone is so goddamned negative here...I always feel like I just walked into the Playa Haters Ball when I read this site lately.
Other random notes:
I just saw on imdb.com that the Rock is going to play Captain Marvel in Shazam!! Holy shit!
I do agree with Wex that there is a noticeable herd mentality in effect at this place...

Re Smart People/Sideways.
Except I hated every minute of Sideways until Sandra Oh beat the shit out of THC (good acronym, dude) with her motorcycle helmet. And even that didn't make it worth sitting through.
Whereas I kind of want to see this. So I REALLY hope it has no more similarities with Sideways than the ones previously listed.

Facefucker is an unusual name I know. But her family is from Luxembourg. It's a pretty popular name in the southern part of the coutry. Like their version of 'Smith.'

Some common thoughts are inevitible in any areas where people 'meet' in area due to common interests, and from my experience of other sites, it's not nearly as strong here as other sites, where most of the posters seem ready to pounce the moderator(s) cock at any given moment.

Hitting a trash can, heck hitting a Toyota, didn't matter b/c the old Saabs were double reinforced steel. They were heavy and cornered brilliantly.
Mine did have power steering but coffee colored cloth seats and no heated seats. I learned to drive stick on it, which was okay when I was alone, but in college 4 doors = designated driver. Many a friend has memories of me stalling at a 6 lane Southern California intersection trying to make a left on green! Good ole "Sport" made it to Ensenada Mejico, Grnad Canyon, Glacier Park Montona and cross country... For all I know that car is still going.

Yes. Bollywood. So entertaining. I love the evil mothers-in-law, the obligatory dream sequences, the way they always pick the most hirsute man to play the bad guy.
And you know what's great about Bollywood versus Hollywood? They admit it's a formula for the entertainment of the uneducated masses and they don't promise anything more so you'll never find a Bollywood starlet with half a brain cell giving an interview talking about how meaningful the film is or how she really doesn't want to be seen as an adored sex symbol and she'd be much happier wiping choleric bums in the Calcutta ghettoes if only her manager would let her.

I for one was extremely disappointed in the herd mentality on display in the threads for 27 Dresses, Superbad, Knocked Up, the evolution and religion debates ... do you people have an original, non-ball-licking thought in your heads?
What I love about trolls and dipshits who show up and spout off about overloving the writers is that they must never have lived in the dark, dark days where you had to pay for anything different or unusual that was worth reading, like Spin or Rolling Stone (back when it was cool). To be able to click on thousands of different websites and read free, new content every freakin' day? Pardon me while I'm the slightest bit grateful or supportive of the people providing that service.
Yes, you "writer and editors" should be ashamed of yourselves for posting original analysis at no charge, then having the gall to permit anonymous comments on that analysis. For shame!

I'm with TK, that sumunabitch has/had potential, but it seems he's found his shit-niche and like a stoned gerbil trapped in a paper bag, he can't quite figure his way outta it. I predict a remake of "Junior" in the near future, followed by the first true sign of the Apocalypse: "Sarah Jessica Parker Steps Up and Serves the Glitter Yard in 5-D"
Wasn't "The Tooth Fairy" a horror flick? Or at least the main character in a horror flick?

I was so proud of myself when I came up with Rock Johnson as the perfect porn name. At the time The Rock was only some wrestler who inhabited a world that I never visited. Then I happened to Google my great idea and was faced with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. It's crushing to have your porn name already taken.
And also, Damn people! Those of us on the west coast have no chance at all when we first come to this site at 8:30 and there are already 90 comments on the latest post. Aren't you also on the west coast Daniel? At what god awful time do you get up?

Wow, I hope that wasn't directed at me. I certainly didn't say anything so rude. I enjoy the site but I think it's fairly obvious that commenters here have a tendency to agree with one another to an extreme degree (ofen with hilarious results - see: Heigl, Katherine).

As much as I hate professional "homoerotic contact sport for homophobes" wrestling, I LOVE The Rock. Sure his movies are simple escapist fare but boy howdy is he hot--he has charisma to burn, a sense of humor (even about himself) and a smile that won't quit. I almost wet myself when I saw him walk out on that Oscar stage in that tux (I only watched for dreamy Jon Stewart). I am not intellectual like you fine people: I want my entertainment to be entertaining. I want to be removed from reality for just a little while. With movies like the Rundown and Scorpion King, I am removed from reality with a really hot, sexy man with a wicked smile. Believe me, I am not here to judge: you guys can like or not like any one or any thing you please but I must speak up for Mr. Dwayne Johnson. (I feel the same way about Jackie Chan.)

"Moseley Lee" and "Erskine Dial" sound like the names of authors you'd study in an intermediate English college course.

Posted by: Jerce at February 28, 2008 12:47 PM
Hallsy, I'm referring only to brainless criticisms of the commenters for expressing pleasure at the content, not contrary opinions expressed to encourage debate. It would be truly, truly boring if everyone agreed all the time, and the site would probably die off.
I admire the few, the proud, the dissenters. There is a common sensibility drawn to this site resulting in a certain homogeneity at times -- no shame in that, it just is -- but the cranks are what make it fun.
Posted by: socalledonlycousins at February 28, 2008 12:52 PM
As usual I feel completely disassociated with the main commenters on this site. I like the Rock, John Woo, Guy Ritchie pre-Madonna, and SJP in LA Story. I've said it before, not everybody is demanding a message or weighty ideas in their movies. A lot of folks just want to be entertained.

The professor happened to ask what the classes opinion of Freud was and called on me that day. So did not help my semester grade for that class. Freud is a egotistical, drug-addled, nymphomaniac with a severely stunted emotional development system and seriously sick ideas about sex and in particular, his mother.
Needless to say, I have never been so proud to see a D in my entire life.
Katy, me neither. Me neither.

whenever I hear or read the word "perspicacity" I ALWAYS think of the Simpsons episode "The PTA Disbands."
With a nod to I-think-it-was-Paddy-but-it-could-have-been-ranylt-or-Jerce, whenever I hear that word, I remember that I'm a dipshit.

Yes. Yes it is obvious. Women want... uh...
Snackwells?
Kick-ass jeans?
Non-fat yogurt that doesn't taste like ass?
No stick lube?
Painless Brazillians?
Men who don't "push" farts?
For the person who invented the term "vay-jay-jay" to be shot?
A chance to punch Oprah without consequence?
Poni (what, nevermind - Julie got it)
Easy-Bake -Ovens that can make a full meal?
Men who can dance?
A pube-free toilet lid?
Cheaper moisturizer?
Am I close on any of these things? Jesus, I need to get back to work...

Sssshhhhhhhh!! They will hear you, and they will come. And it will be another circle-jerk of Awesome/NotAwesome. It will be exhausting and repetitive and it will make everyone pissy and even more porny, which I bet you think is not possible, but you would be wrong.

Married Life = Definite Rental (which is a good thing) due to Chris Cooper & Patricia Clarkson.

Skitt, you forgot outfits that make you look 15 pounds lighter, the ability to punch (fill in celebrity here), George Clooney, comfortable high heels, and a tv show that does not make us all seem like insipid degenerates.
I think that covers it. The person who forced that stupid term upon us is none other than Shonda Rhimes, the moron behind Grey's Rainbow Killer extravaganza of suck Anatomy.
Posted by: Melody at February 28, 2008 1:54 PM
The best I can come up with using the formula is Caesar Trailwood, but I think I'll modify it slightly and go with Caesar Hardwood, which I think sounds more porny.
Posted by: CptCrckpot AKA Caesar Hardwood at February 28, 2008 1:56 PM
If I tweak the formula just a little bit (use stepmother's maiden name instead of actual mother's) my porn name is Goblin Slaughter. That...doesn't sound very sexy, does it? Maybe to Tobe Hooper.
Also back to the round-up--the French language preview of Priceless makes it seem much less twee and cutesy than the English language one does. Although it's aggravating to learn that the French are just as bad about giving away the entire movie in the preview as Hollywood is.
Posted by: gelis at February 28, 2008 1:58 PM

Good lord, how did I manage to miss all this?!! I need in on the porn names!
First pet was Mitzi; that's a good start, huh? Got to make up a good last name, though.
How about "Mitzy Merrynethers".
Oh, best real-life name? Sel Dicks. The guy worked with my father. Someone once called the cafeteria there and said, "Sel Dicks there?" Yeah, he got hung up on.
Oh, and there's a Harry Dikes in my hometown too.

I think I prefer Hardwood to Tailwood. While I have no issues with having sex with a woman in a very uncomfortable place, I really don't want to limit myself.
Posted by: CptCrckpot AKA Caesar Hardwood at February 28, 2008 2:18 PM
Regarding what women want, so far it's not too bad since it's mostly nothing to do with me, and so I'm not failing, barring the being John Krasinski and dancing. My name *is* John but it ends there, and sorry, I just sing. If I'm dancing and it's visible then I'm drunk and it looks very silly and is nothing to pair up with. I can keep a toilet seat down, dry and clean at the very least.
And suuure I'm contrary. Never watched Veronica Mars and DO NOT WANT to watch Buffy, yet I can't help but still feel at home with Firefly lovers. I'd just usually rather advocate what I do advocate and not bother with pissing on the writer. Others are much better at that anyway!

We want chocolate.
We do NOT want that crappy Whitman's crap you cheap idiots grab off the impulse-buy rack right before you get to the checkout counter at Walgreen's. We want quality chocolate.
We want Godiva. See's. The handmade Belgian stuff from the cute little shop in the upmarket strip mall, a box of which costs more than the outfit you're wearing (you cheap prick).
We also want to not share the chocolate. Just give us the chocolate and go watch sports or something and leave us alone. With our chocolate.
Freud thought that women want penises. This is very not true. We do not want our tenderest bits stuck right out on the front of our bodies where anyone can get at them. We think that is stupid.
However, we do like to borrow a penis from time to time. Only for, like, half an hour or so. Then we'll give it right back. We promise.

Maybe someone already pointed this out: SJP looks startlingly like Ruth Buzzi, the comedienne from the 1970s. I liked Ruth Buzzi just fine as a tot, but the physical resemblance is not a compliment to one who is trying to be a vivacious starlet.

I hate Godiva. If you're going to eat chocolate then it should be Cadbury's, you heathens. Even for that, however, I have a limited appreciation. I'm actually not overly fond of chocolate. I prefer salty to sweet.
I would do unspeakably dirty things to anyone who provided me with King or Tayto cheese and onion crisps on a regular basis. God, it sucks being able to eat your favourite junk food only once every year or two.

No, strike that, I DO, for many reasons besides just serving the suburban crowd.
I was seeing some errors in wardrobe perspicacity when I got here and looked in the mirror, so your support's appreciated. If only I could keep my raincoat on. Halloween was fun since I could wear my thrift store Tenth Doctor costume all day (though my own glasses didn't look right and skinny boxy frames wouldn't look right either because I look fuck all like David Tennant so I just squinted a lot, but the screwdriver was licensed and official n' shit!)
I don't have much of a sweet tooth so have at it, Elron. I crave salt. Chocolate tends to cause me more pain than endorphins when it finds a sensitive molar (and not pain endorphins either, I'm not testing my limits here). Puttin that quarter in the Brach's sampler coin box is dangerous! Think Danny Butterman's ice cream headache. Does See's Candies go with the Godiva? I know their stuff's pretty popular. If you'll just give me a little peanut brittle now and then I think it'd work out beautifully.

The rest of you who don't like sweets: I don't really understand you, and I suspect that you may be aliens of some kind; but as long as we can coexist peacefully then I'm not going to gripe. No chocolate for you = more chocolate in the world for me.

Skittimus has an excellent point. In order for us to properly evaluate the actual habits and behaviors of the native Pajibiate, we must test all hypothesis (hypotheses? hypothesises?). Since we've already got a good grasp of this elusive animal's mating habits, we must discover what other qualities it might possibly have.

I don't see where The Rock hate comes from. If you ask me it all feels a little forced, like you feel like you should hate him on principle. I don't know much about his wrestling days (my only involvement/knowledge of wrestling comes from a day and a half marathon session of WWE2007 on the X360 last year, which he only features in as an unlockable "classic" style character) but since he started acting seriously I've enjoyed all of the movies of his that I've seen.
Doom was great in a Snakes on a Plane kind of way, I enjoyed Welcome to the Jungle (despite SWS being his usual sucky character) and I really enjoyed Gridiron Gang despite having no interest or knowledge of American Football or sporting movies in general (Gridiron Gang is the only sports movie I've ever enjoyed).
Every generation needs their action hero, and there hasn't been a really decent one since Arnie gave it up. Vin Diesel gave it a shot, but he sucked outside of the Riddick movies unfortunately and never really had the chops to pull it off. I believe that Dwayne Johnson is this generation's action hero.
Maybe it just comes down the reason i watch movies. I don't think they're long enough to provide proper character development or a decent story, so i tend to prefer books (mostly fantasy: Wheel of Time, now that was a length you could sink your teeth in to!) or TV series.

Speaking of funny names, there are a couple of names from my high school days that come to mind. One of my fellow students was named Franklin Nelson Stein. That would be Frank N. Stein for short. There was another student named Chris Hunt, who used to receive care packages from his father on a near weekly basis (I went to a boarding school). Every week Chris would receive Mike Hunt's box in the mail. Needless to say he was given quite a hard time about that.
Posted by: CptCrckpot AKA ? at February 28, 2008 6:18 PM

Julie - whenever threads get over, oh say... 150 comments, you should write a review (as you so perfectly did for Wakeful), and it should be posted immediately following the main topic of discussion... Saves time for the late posters, and gives a nice recap when someone asks "Whatcha typin' about?".
I will pay you three point eight BILLION dollars to do this from now until the end of time. Or until some Association Of Internet Decency shuts this bitch down... (which, judging by the past week-and-a-half's descent into Filthyville, should be right abou... :101101001101000: .... [ENTRY DENIED ACCESS]

The hell is a Badtz Maru?

Oh, he's a penguin

Skitt, know that I am holding you to that price.God dammit, where is my lawyer when I need her?
...oh right, prepping for my prostitution ring trial. They're just my sexy cousins, I swear.
Sarina-Badtz Maru is, correct me if I'm wrong Jay, a Hello Kitty (?) character in the shape of an insanely cute penguin. I'm pretty sure I had a wallet with him on it in high school...because I liked penguins, you see.
Posted by: Julie at February 28, 2008 10:21 PM
Oh, I see. Why isn't it just called Hello Penguin?
Posted by: Sarina at February 28, 2008 10:25 PM
:exasperated sigh:
Because Sarina, it wouldn't be as confusingly CUTE that way.
:p

Oh, Kitty's the only one who's "Hello" (and as far as I know the only one who's been made into a vibrator). All the Sanrio characters, and they are legion, have a different, and frequently incomprehensible name. This much I learned from the old girlfriend. That and most all of the merchandise is pretty useless. Just insane objets d'art, if you will. That wallet (she had one too) is about the height of functionality. I like to carry around a lot of useful things. The Sanrio store and I were not a good match, however much I might like the little surly bird.
Did I just explain Sanrio to a girl?
Let gender stereotypes everywhere take note.

The whole concept of a Hello Kitty vibrator is immensely disturbing. Isn't Hello Kitty supposed to be for tiny tots?
The only Hello Kitty thing I ever had was a pen that I got when I was about six. It wrote in pink or purple or some sissy colour, and my teacher got mad at me and told me I couldn't write with it because it wasn't an appropriate ink colour for school.

Sarina, take a look at this thread. The entire thing is deeply disturbing. Hello Kitty vibrators are just the tip of the iceberg around here these days.

Elron Hubble: We also want to not share the chocolate. Just give us the chocolate and go watch sports or something and leave us alone. With our chocolate.
I tend to believe that. I've got a friend who's a male nurse in a rehab clinic, with all female colleagues. Whenever a family visits and brings chocolates (Leonidas, Neuhaus, that hi-brow shit) the box is emptied in less than fifteen minutes. And not by the patient or my buddy.
He once stated in face of the nurses the only thing missing in the clinic from looking like a stable was some straw on the floor.
So yes, chocolate is all they crave.

I think a Hello Kitty vibrator makes a lot of sense. It says "Hello" to your kitty. Mmmm...yea, that's what I do around here. I make the juvenile comments, then I giggle to myself. Pay no attention to the girl in the straitjacket.
Skitt, I believe the AIOD have been scared off. No worries.

Hello Kitty creatures have many abilities some would consider......unnatural...

How disturbed must I be when I come in this morning to find this thread still going....and I'm reassured?
I had a g/f who had a Hello Kitty vibrator. No joke. She mostly had it for novelty, of course...but it is functional. And deeply disturbing. Almost as disturbing as the Hello Kitty panties. It's not an image I want staring back at me when I'm exploring...
Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at February 29, 2008 8:38 AM
Yeah, it gave me a Mr. Bill mental image when I first heard of it. "Rampaging Beaver?! OH NOOOOOO!!"
But that's just me.
But now I'm kinda thinking of Palpatine wielding one. And that goes down a dark path.

Instead of the normal lightsaber sound, would it meow?

Very disturbed, because I was reassured as well.

The reason Hello Kitty is on a vibrator is because of the stricter laws against pornography/sex toys in Japan. If they put Hello Kitty on it, then it can be listed as an animal novelty toy. It's the same reason that a lot of sex toys have little animals on them-- probably the most hilarious I saw at the sex toy party I attended last week was a turtle.
Because nothing says "orgasmic" like a slow, shelled, egg-laying creature!

And Sanrio didn't care much about what the company was going to do with the license, and then they made their "shoulder massager" and it started showing up in J-porn and Sanrio said "uh...uh....wait...they can't...", oh but they could, they'd signed the contract, but they finally found some way, akin to Capone's taxes, to shut them down and destroy the mold. However they're apparently back in production with another vendor now.
Of course, in J-porn you can't show (choose your own term for the anatomy), except for, as I understand it, certain material produced for export *only*.
Yeah, it's Wakeful's fault for mentioning the Care Bears in the first place.

I know I'm incredibly late to the thread, but sometimes work gets in the way of my Pajiba time... All the talk of porn names compels me to share mine: Kitten Day Frederick. Personally, I think just having it be Kitten Day works. Perhaps I'll change my Pajiba screen name to that...

Say what you will at Guy Ritchie, but Lock, Stock and Snatch are both damn good films. It's just that once again, Madonna found a way to screw up something awesome.
