Cars reminds me of a Dreamworks picture. They were on autopilot, and I'm okay with that. My rationalization is that Brad Bird had taken all the good people to work on Ratatouille.

Nice.

If someone ever makes a movie about your life, what would it be titled? Can I direct that movie?

11/29/2008 12:10:22 PM

i liked Antz more than A Bugs Life

11/29/2008 12:10:54 PM

^ Blasphemy

11/29/2008 12:13:45 PM

The plot of Antz isn't awful, but there's no sense of scale and I'm just not a fan of it.

Plus A Bug's Life has Denis Leary and Richard Kind.

11/29/2008 12:17:09 PM

woody allen ftw

11/29/2008 12:17:23 PM

Not when he's not doing his own material.

11/29/2008 12:17:53 PM

As for the movie about my life, it'd be called

In the Forest There's a Bird of Every Color

I want Godard to direct it.

11/29/2008 12:25:20 PM

Awesome!

What is your favorite position name in a film crew (best boy, key grip, etc.)?

11/29/2008 3:53:14 PM

i don't know if this counts

but i like it when the script supervisor is male

because the original title is script girl

11/29/2008 3:54:44 PM

It does count and you get bonus points.

Redeem them at your local Jimmy (or Emporium C-Store).

11/29/2008 3:55:54 PM

c-store bonus points, eh

BTW, everyone go see Synecdoche, New York

11/29/2008 3:58:07 PM

for december!

12/1/2008 5:00:43 PM

On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the lamest, how lame are annotated bibliographies?

12/1/2008 5:11:40 PM

As a holiday tradition, my brother and I (and our two other film loving buddies--one's in LA now living the dream) pick a film to watch on Christmas Day. We've picked goodies, and really really baddies (Alexander--BLEH!). I'm having a hard time deciding which I want to go see...as there's a lot coming out this holiday season that I'm interested in. Which would you chose (assuming the limited release ones come to RDU)?

Frost/Nixon
The Reader
Revolutionary Road
Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Valkyrie
Wendy & Lucy

I hate Bryan Singer, and I hate Tom Cruise. Why do I want to see Valkyrie so badly?

Does more money=better than?

12/1/2008 5:31:52 PM

sometimes

sometimes not

12/1/2008 5:33:50 PM

whose better, The Great Caruso or the Red Rocker Sammy Hagar? Worthington's Law tells us that the answer is clear.

Answer that one or this one: Dusty Springfield or Petula Clark?

and why

[Edited on December 1, 2008 at 5:40 PM. Reason : .]

12/1/2008 5:39:13 PM

Sammy Hagar is worthless in every way I can think of.

Dusty is better because she sounds like she's black, and black singers are always better than white ones.

I'm in Memphis for about a week and a half more. Can you think of any albums that make you think of this city I should probably drive around listening to before I leave?

12/1/2008 6:12:06 PM

Funkiest Man Alive - Rufus Thomas
McLemore Avenue - Booker T. and the MG's

i saw the band, though

I have 2 questions for you vinylbandit.

1) How does it feel to suck so bad at goalie?

2) Are you going to cry when I score 5 goals against you next Monday night?

12/2/2008 8:45:49 PM

are current emphatuations with authors such as haruki murakami in popular culture more of a desire to have someone of this generation that has the literary skill to produce timeless works of fiction, or is it just hipster wannabees that listen to npr and get stuck on random author to sound pompous


im kinda curious


b/c i've kinda been trying to find someone that's currently writing with substance, but struggling.


i bring up murakami b/c he's kinda been one of the 'it' guys from what i gather, but i dont see where it's much more than a casual read.

or maybe i hold classics in too high of regard

or maybe im a retard

I'm guessing you meant "infatuations"

and Murakami hasn't struck me as one of the "it" guys in literature lately, if you're seeing it as a super intense thing then it probably is hipster-related

but I like a wide variety of postmodern literature and classics anyhow

That is hilarious! Do you have an MFA? If not, might you be getting one?

12/3/2008 4:51:14 PM

best 5 shower scenes in movie history

12/3/2008 4:51:40 PM

I do not have an MFA and don't plan on getting one anytime soon...but eventually I might.

^

1. Psycho
2. Carrie
3. The Other Boleyn Girl
4. this hilarious swedish porn where they randomly speak english for no reason and then go back to swedish
5. Starship Troopers

12/3/2008 5:27:45 PM

every now and then a decent question pops into my head

12/3/2008 5:29:21 PM

If you do get an MFA, don't be a TA

it sucks all the fun out of people, from what I can tell
