Crasstalk : Beauty Pageants for Seniors

Thu, 19 May 2011 16:36:44 +0000

I've never been prouder of my hometown. ... Ok, so I HAVE been prouder, but ya know, this is very typical of Connecticutians (pronounced Co-net-tic-cut-e-ans, in case you were wondering), especially Fairfield County ones. The "Senior" part kinda throws me though. These women are all pretty, young-looking mom types from Greenfield Hill (and yes, that is a type in the FC) (don't call it that).

THEY WILL COME BACK SOMEDAY. Some.Day.�
As for Helent, I did some research earlier on the pretty lady and yes, looks like she is getting back on it!

I know, I'm a little embarrassed for myself. It was not a good show though. I guess I miss old Reiser and Helent Hunt and the '90s in general.

I had the unfortunate experience of watching the first episode of the Paul Reiser show. I was kinda hoping it would work out for him, probably due to my loyalty to '90s pop culture.

Um, that's why I enjoy WWHL (while everyone else seems to hate on it). I love the fact that Andy is tanked. He seemed especially tankish last night. The only thing that bothered me was that BOTH Mike and Richie would not stop SWIVELING THEIR CHAIRS.

But he was wearing a FEDORA. Andy commented about that on the WWHL aftershow. It was hilarious.

Best recap ever. I also think this season (and the outcome) has finally cured me of my TC resentment (caused by the Hosea and Kevin wins).

Crasstalk : I Watched Battlefield Earth on Purpose

No problem! Do you have any recommendations? Right now I'm really into: - Nerdist with Chris Hardwick (obviously, also I just met him a few weeks ago and he is awesome) - Doug loves movies (Doug Benson) - the Benson Interruption (Benson again, and sometimes it costs a few bucks) - Comedy Death Ray (although I don't find it as funny as I feel like I should) - Sklarbro Country I'm also looking forward to my first "Mike and Tom Eat Snacks' with Michael Ian Black and Mike Detective. Anyway, any other recs would be awesome!

Paul Scheer, June Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas have a podcast called "How did this get made?" where they pick a horrible movie to watch and then discuss on the show. It's pretty freaking hysterical and also really fun if you've seen the movie they're reviewing. This week's episode is, coincidentally, about Battlefield Earth. I haven't heard it yet, but I can't wait to compare their notes with yours. Also, thank you for this post. We were THISCLOSE to watching B.E. a few nights ago and now I'm sure we made the right choice not to suffer through it.

Hysterical. I have forwarded this to all the lunatic women I'm friends with on faceboko who actually watch this show. Bravo, kids.

Also, if you're in the Fillmore district and want to do dinner/drinks, I would recommend Harry's Bar (they have bottomless bellinis for brunch on Sat & Sunday and a shitload of tvs for March madness). Get the mac & cheese and thank me later. I would also recommend Elite Cafe across from Harry's on Fillmore between Cal and Pine. Elite serves southern/cajun-style fare and is great for brunch or dinner. There's also Pizzeria Delfina on California & Fillmore which has been named one of the best pizza places in the nation (even better than the original in the Mission). I also work with Pizza Inferno (Fillmore at Sutter) which has a new, amazing chef from Naples. Plus, they have the largest beer selection on all of Fillmore so, if you're one of those beer snobs, go there. Talk to long-haired bartender Lee and tell him Sarah sent you. I would also recommend, for a quick bite and if the lines to sit outside at Harry's or Elite are too long, to hit up The Grove cafe. They have the most amazing orange juice (and, subsequently, mimosas) and their french toast is out of this goddamn world. Seriously. PS. I've only found SPQR to be so-so lately. Maybe I've gone on off days, but just sayin...

Yeah, that movie messed up how I look at it as well. It is still immensely beautiful, just with a wave of melancholy to go with the beauty.

It is SO good. One of my favorite beers in the city. The actual place gets a little crowded (especially after Giants games) but it's worth it.

Hey friend... I'm in SF and would like to write a post or something with ya. I was hoping to get a post out last week but, unfortunately, I got ridiculously sick and was OOC for most of the week. In any event, let's talk and write!!!

I'm hoping to write some stuff. Not as good as Richard's (obviously, I'm not a fucking genius) but I would like to do some recaps. My whole life is shitty reality tv at this point so why not, you know? I'm sure they'll still have recaps, I would probably go back and check those out sometime too. PS Glad to see you here!

I'll send a few bucks over next payday - that will be either Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Unfortunately, I am poor (in money, not in spirit!) so it won't be much. But I promise to send something!
