Today we got a call from a lady asking what was currently showing. After being read the movie list, she asked, “Are any of those films metaphysical? Will they move me spiritually?”
The look on T’s face was classic. She told her no and asked her if she had meant to call the A.R.E. The lady responded, “I need to see a traditional metaphysical film that will move me today at your cinema.”
Those damn what-the-bleepers drive me nuts.
I was reading an article in Paste about the future of record stores and this paragraph made me laugh out loud:
People don’t brag about their MP3 collection. Where’s the glory in that? When blogs and search engines do all the heavy lifting, any imbecile can show taste. Buying physical records, though, reveals a lot about an individual. Sure, sometimes what it says is embarrassing: “I have too much disposable income,” for example. Or: “My mania for Björk may one day feature in a psychology textbook - or on Court TV.”
Firewater is playing Portland Jun 4th at the Doug Fir and Chapel Hill June 15th at Local 506. I insist that you guys go. You will not regret it. Albee and I saw them play while we were in Brooklyn and it was so good that we are gonna go see them in D.C. too with CvT.
(aph - two words… TAMIR MUSKAT)
Kevin and I caught an episode of Curious George one morning, and it is totally my new favorite thing. Did you know that Curious George is funny as hell? We were cracking up. It has the best quotes ever.
Like:
Really cold water can change a monkey’s plans just like that.At first George thought squirrels must really hate bowling.
George and Jumpy played nut hockey til the sun went down.
And let’s not forget Malena’s infamous, “You speak monkey!?!?!”
My favorite quote:
David Volrath, executive director of secondary education for Harford County Public Schools, says the school also hopes to offer “Arabic or some other nontraditional, Third World-type language.”
Fucking George Bush. We hates him.
I wonder if Pimsleur makes a “Third World-type language” collection…
Someone called the theatre today looking for showtimes. When Theresa got to Two Days In Paris, the customer asked if that was the Paris Hilton porno.
Seriously.
I finally got around to watching Tiptoes the other night, after renting it four times previously and never actually watching it.
It contained my new favorite movie quote:
Marriage is for morons. It turns your lover into your relative.
“It’s funny, they opened a Wal-Mart near my neighborhood, and now I own 5 guns.”
– Jared Luke Tonnessen
I’m not all too thrilled with Jared’s current obsession. There is the cross-bow, the BB gun, some other kind of pellet gun thingie, the paintball gun… I don’t know what else. One day he came home with a flag pole holder and asked me what kind of flag we should put on the front porch. I’m surprised he didn’t die from my stare alone.
Just because we moved to Portsmouth, that does not give him an excuse to become a redneck.
He actually voluntarily shops at Wal-Mart now. Because it’s the quickest / closest place to refill CO2 cartridges and buy BBs.
It’s all so strange and new to me, but I must say, people sure do have fun when they come over.
This shit had me laughing out loud for real:
Five years from now Angelina is gonna run out of races to adopt and start turning to leprechauns and Oompa-Loompas. They’re like Pokemon to her. Gotta catch ‘em all!
If god had meant for them faggots to get married, he would’ve made them different.
Jules overheard someone at his work say this today when talking about Virginia’s proposed constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage and civil unions.
