Potato wave indeed. Way better than the lyrics that I had always sung along with that song.

Good first post Lightlysalted. I hadn't ever read your stuff until last week, but after the blind roomate story you have me for a while.

Oh, that's good stuff. "Make me fries..." Love it.

Does anyone (even Eddie) know the words to that song? I say that because it's different every single time they perform it live. Frustrating (but a fantastic song; one of my official bootleg albums closes it out with a sampling of Little Wing; very cool).

Dissing Star Wars is probably not the best way to curry favor here. After all, the geek is strong in this site.

What I really don't understand is why Lucasfilms and other copyright holders have such a problem with Youtube? It's a trailer, right? It's designed to whet the public's appetite for the series. The more that people see it on Youtube, the more they'll want to see the actual show. If it's the actual show, or something that you're selling on DVD, I understand. But a trailer? Why would you try so hard to stop what is essentially free advertising for your product?

The Popoholic link to the trailer seemed to still work when I tried it, so I a bit confused. bartap is completely right though. Pulling a trailer makes no sense. It is the stuff you want people to see, and instead of letting it travel by internet for nearly no cost, they would rather waste time and money not only saving the trailer for commercials and such, but fighting those who try to promote it.

That was an awesome article about Apatow, and it really made me see his movies in a new light, now understanding the characters a bit more. Knowing how his parents' divorce shaped him and his crushing insecurities puts a whole new level of substance to his characters. Neat.

And while Jessica Biel would rip Cameron Diaz apart, I would so pay to see it.

I must confess: I have been crushing on Lily Allen for a while now, and in a funny way, that post kinda reinforces it. Something is wrong with me.

By the way, thanks to good fotunes, I now am attempting my own blog! Won't be very celeb focused, but I will try to be entertaining:

Good intro, LitelySalted.

I've only seen Teletubbies once, and I'll never watch it again. I was ditching school one afternoon, but after a 30 minutes of watching that garbage, I thought I might be sick for real. I could feel my brain leaking out of my ears with every goofy dance and strangely hypnotic "Again, again" chant they did. Luckily I blacked out before the next episode started.

The thing that gets me most about the tellitubbies outrage is that it's happening now. I remember back in school my best friend's kid brother was obsessed with those damned things and after working out the relative sexes of the tubbies (which took us a little while - I am assured that Po is in fact female, who'd have thought?) I believe our first words were "Dude that's so gay" followed quickly by "But really enlightened for kids TV.... still gay though."

Aaaah good times. I'm so very glad I never have to sit through another minute of that program.

you have my attention for now, salty.

i was very lucky my kids were too old for both barney and the teletubbies. when robertson when after them, we decided we like the teletubbies. i'm like that. when the "moral majority" (which, may i add, is neither) decries something, i support it.
oh, but i hated barney.
and i hate to say i wasn't into pearl jam, that you tube is one hella fucking funny! thanks, litely, and YOMANK!
