I've been pondering that question most of the day, since I listened to Queen's Greatest Hits on the way to work this morning. I used to wonder what "got a mousche" meant. For years. Then I discovered the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody are "scaramouche, scaramouche...," and refer most likely to a dramatic character in a play, named after some novel or something-or-other from the early 20th century.
Who cares? I can't get the damn thing outta my head!
Things get stuck there sometimes, and it takes some purging to become somewhat functional again. Here's the vent:
I may be delusional, but there seems to be a Baldwin brother on every reality series on TV.
Finally! Others are starting to see through Oprah's shallow facade. Wonder if I can get tickets to her show soon? When public opinion starts to tank, O starts giving away cars!
There is some speculation that Morbius, The Living Vampire will be the villain in the upcoming Spider-Man 4 flick, directed by Sam Raimi. If Morbius is the villain I predict it'll be the best Spidey flick ever, with the evil dead and his army of darkness carrying out their simple plan to drag Peter Parker to hell.(Whew...that was a stretch.)
No matter how many times I saw it, I always laughed at the opening of Married With Children, when Peg Bundy dropped her cigarette butt into the salad she was making.
Despite feeling as though I was again sitting in Mrs. Dietz's Biology class at Summersville Junior High School--where I ruled the back row, by the way-- I loved the recent series on the classification of West Virginia hot dogs. Do yourself a solid and read it at the West Virginia Hot Dog Blog. Stanton, Chris James and Big Daddy are always informative and entertaining, but this series was exceptional. I could smell the chili from the picture those guys used to illustrate the Utilitarian Dog.
Did I mention Oprah has some detractors?
Man, I gotta see a movie soon...

Yeah, but Morbius isn't a real vampire. No baby vampires. No zombies. I'd love to see Morbius and the Lizard (since they screwed up the Sandman story) or maybe Kraven.
Yeah, it would be cool. I geeked out for minute about the description I used for the film, but couldn't figure out any other way to includs as many Raimi movie titles as I did in the sentence.
It wouldn't surprise me if they went in the vampire direction to capitalize on the Twilight craze. But I don't care if the villain is a cranky Phyllis Dyller as long as the script is better than part 3. Emo Spidey FTL.
Did the Stonewall Jackson Diner have good dogs? I only ever got their fried chicken.
Go see "Up". It's absolutely stunning.
I remember the Stonewall made a great cheeseburger. A GREAT cheeseburger. But I can't remember eating a hot dog there...
Spike: I hope to see UP this weekend. Write about it (or talk about it on your show), and let me know what you thought.
Where did you steal "Do yourself a solid" from? Oh yeah...me. Now that's integrity!!
Really, maybe you should consider blogging about actually doing stuff....instead of about what other people are doing/done. It must be kinda sad to be you Film Geek. But at least your in uh, sad company.
I thought I stole it from NYPD Blue, where Andy said it ,like, every other episode for the ten years or so it was on. Maybe that's where you got it too.
Regardless, I doubt I owe you anyroyalties from the copyright of a pretty common phrase.
You admit you stole it. That in itself speaks a lot about your character...or lack of. Integrity, integrity, integrity Film Geek! Work on that or your new boyfriend is gonna drop you like he drops seven-sided-dice...
Maybe you just shouldn't say "do yourself a solid" regardless of where it came from!! It doesn't suit you. -Cara
We saw Up and I was incredibly depressed afterwards :)
Skip "Drag Me To Hell" if you can. You'll FEEL like you're in hell anyway.
