I don't need this shit. This is just a temp job. When you assholes are stocking copies of "Above The Law III: Even More Above The Law" in the Direct-To-DVD aisle you'll see my face staring back at you. I'M STEVEN FRIGGING SEAGAL. I'm a big star and...sorry, yes, ma'am, I can tell you about this washer/dryer combo. It's a GE. Very reliable. I have one myself. And you can save 10% if you apply for a Best Buyer Club Card with us today."

BaltimoreGal - the part of Rosebud will be played by Keanu Reeves. He has the wooden thing down. Also, today CNN.com has an article about the upcoming film version of...wait for it....wait for it..."On The Road". Who should play Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty? NO ONE.

Do YOU want to see Brett Ratner's version of "The Love Boat". Robyn - I agree - An "Ant-Man" movie? Is that really necessary? - but I'm excited for "Watchmen", and have high hopes for Matthew Vaughn's version of a pretty good and very subversive comic that most people have never heard of called "Kick-Ass". And I'm OK with your reimagining, as long as Daniel Craig plays me. (Oh! Fun Comment Game! Who will play each member of Team MamaPop in the eventual MamaPop: The Movie?!)

The Keynsians will certainly point to Federal intervention as being crucial to any recovery, while proponents of Friedman will argue that implicit separation of nominal from real magnitudes is neither possible nor desirable. But regardless, both sides agree that Led Zeppelin's use of the Hindenburg disaster for their first album cover was wicked awesome.

There isn't a word in the English language that can adequately describe how bad he is. I shall have to invent one. Let's see...hmmm....horrifucktaculous. Wed, 17 Sep 2008 15:50:32 +0000 http://www.mamapop.com/mamapop/2008/09/nkotb---the-blo.html#IDComment6394173 http://www.mamapop.com/mamapop/2008/09/nkotb---the-blo.html#IDComment6391693 Alex - I once went to a Garth Brooks concert. Willingly. I feel a certain kinship with you. DavidS - I'm betting that Donnie has mixed feelings about his "Entourage" alter-ego, Johnny Drama. On the one hand, Drama reminds the world that Donnie actually exists. On the other: "Viking Quest" = "Boomtown". DianaCLT - "Lastly...I, personally, would be embarrassed to be at/around 40, still dressing like my buddies and dancing in unison." That was something my buddies and I had to get over when we formed our 98 Degrees Tribute Band. It was weird at first, but now I find it strangely liberating. (BTW, we're called Sheyds Of Lachey - "Sheyds" rhymes with "shades", get it? - and we will be appearing at the grand opening of the new Ralph's in Yuma, AZ on October 5th.)

They should've hired Roger Dean to take the the cover in a Yes/Emerson, Lake & Palmer/Asia direction, with the New Kids riding on dragons through purple skies above a landscape dense with giant multi-colored mushrooms. That would have been awesome. DeviousMuse - I'll admit to being concerned over making a fart joke. I feel much better now. As Dennis Miller once said, "kids think farts are funny BECAUSE THEY ARE."

YOU'RE not, Jim. Please don't presume to speak for the rest us, the vast majority of men who didn't learn about sex by watching comic book movies.

Um, not that I'd know anything about such things, but don't movies about weed go best with...weed? Unless..."booze-filled" is a euphemism. (Winks.)

Traffic to both of my sites has really taken off over the past few weeks (thanks in no small part to being added to the MamaPop roster - Trace, you wanted small bills, non-sequential, in that Caymans account, correct?) and I'm gonna incorporate this into my blog management. Thanks!

BaltimoreGal - I really don't read comics, but I seem to know a lot about them. At least my Pre-Crisis self did. (That is an-joke that I guarantee no MamaPop reader will get.) IndyCityGal - I really, really liked Iron Man and think it's the 2nd best comic book movie ever made. KimPossible - The Dark Knight is the first best comic book ever made. And thus far is my pick for Best Picture. Sweetney - (voice of Omarosa:) I can haz unemployment checks?

I've tried a few times, but I keep getting distracted by the guy in the foreground kneeling before what appears to be a giant golden dildo. Fri, 22 Aug 2008 11:46:44 +0000 http://www.mamapop.com/mamapop/2008/08/photo-in-sear-8.html#IDComment4688603 http://www.mamapop.com/mamapop/2008/08/i-am-required-t.html#IDComment4688553 Sweetney - sorry, yes. What you do is, you're Amy and you try to break out of the Rehab Clinic and rescue someone named Blake, and you get attacked by bad guys including Frankenstein's Monster and a Pseudo Lara Croft. You can use Amy's beehive hairdo as a weapon. Really, I can't even muster up a snarky comment, it's that banal. Thinking about it makes me tired.

I did link to the NY Times article about those two women in my post. That China essentially bullied its way into being selected for the Games is a travesty, as is the obvious amount of pressure the government is placing on NBC to put a bright shiny face on one of the most oppressive regimes in history. Had this been any other country, Costas and company would have been all over the Chinese gymnastic team scandal. Instead, we get Mary Carillo talking about how awesome the Three Rivers Gorge Dam is. (Sorry to get all serious on you. I will now go back to talking about Bigfoot and freeballing.)
