blaine: Plus, Alec Guiness is both movies....or should i say Nancy Walker? You can't judge anyone by their appearances - not in Capote's mad castle! Tuesday, August 19, 2008 : 15:15
blaine: 'Murder By Death' is much funnier than any Star Wars movie. There are some lines in that movie that kill, like Peter Falk asking David Niven if he'd ever done it with a big fat waitress. Or Truman Capote screaming at Peter Sellers to say his prepositions via a moosehead on wall. Oh God that movie slays me! It truly is one of my favorites. Tuesday, August 19, 2008 : 15:11
j: I'm just ignoring the whole clone wars thing in the hope that it will go away. And I still believe that Star Wars is only made up of three movies. Tuesday, August 19, 2008 : 14:04
thewillhelm: out of curiosity, who's implying the DEROGATORY part? has lucas imparted a low opinion of capote? would it be offensive if Ziro talked like Carole Channing? would it be okay if the capote-voiced character was the hero? just wondering aloud. Monday, August 18, 2008 : 22:12
thewillhelm: damn you George Lucas. I'll never forget how you angered my Jamaican friends when you implied that they're all loopy, goofy, space aliens! AND you pissed off my British friends by making it seem as tho they were all members of an evil Empire! When will you learn that most people talk like average, inoffensive Americans. And remember how WE felt when Breakfast Club came out, and Mr. Hughes depicted us all as bunch of jock/prep/nerd types? Remember how mad you felt, America! Now we gotta put up with his insuation that all Capote-type gays are giant space slugs! NO MORE! Monday, August 18, 2008 : 22:04
chris: Am I off-base thining that the author is being a bit oversensitive? So Lucas wanted the character's voice to be modeled after Truman Capote. Capote had a very distinct voice I'm guessing Lucas thought fit the character. Hell, Capote himself played something of a douchebag in Murder By Death. Did anyone have a problem with that?

cromulent: It's a fan on a cord swinging around a giant room. Like, really really giant. Say, 30' or 40' on a side and 50' hgh? Giant! Wednesday, June 18, 2008 : 10:28
blaine: That sadly ends with a failed jewelry heist, followed by comic chase through the streets of San Francisco and finally with the getaway van, two cop cars, a pissed-off meter maid on a motorcycle, an elderly fisherman, and an innocent bicyclist all going off the end of a pier and into the ocean. Then there's funny scene where we're in court but the judge is really Barbra Streisand's father. Tuesday, August 19, 2008 : 15:40
k: one night out with some co-workers I received not one but TWO fortune-less cookies. I think it is a sign I need to quit this job. Monday, August 18, 2008 : 16:34
:r: Just got back. Face still numbish. Teeth feeling odd. I had two cavities filled. It didn't really hurt. Just a bit uncomfortable and heebie-jeebie feeling.
Blaine. As someone who put off going for a while.. please go now. It ain't worth the trouble. Friday, August 15, 2008 : 13:11
blaine: RE: the dentist: how bad was it, honest? i am also waaaaaay behind on visits and am scared and embarrassed.
Of course, I'm also embarrassed by wasting my money on dental insurance I never use. And afraid that if I do go - oh how I'll use it then! Friday, August 15, 2008 : 11:48
pony: I almost went to my highschool reunion. Then the fbook thing started. and I saw the old names and faces. And then I said: nuh-uh. Friday, August 15, 2008 : 10:23
eve: I will confirm that the Wilco did "rock". It was very fun to see some robots! Hooray VIP section-woo! The pinot noir rose was exxxcellent. Friday, August 15, 2008 : 08:55
and Liza is now 18 months and has about seven words compared to Adam who discussed train derailment and track-hoe versus backhoe.
but then again, Liza can climb anything already and can already get off the ground as high as he can (at 3!)
so, those comparisons just cause heartache and you are correct to not attempt quantification of early talent/intelligence/awareness. Thursday, August 14, 2008 : 17:06
de: I can't count the number of times I've picked up the phone to call one of my kids and it rings from the very child I was about to telephone. Freaky. Call me crazy but I can just tell when they need me and I'm almost always on target. It's a Mom thing. Thursday, August 14, 2008 : 15:59
j: I too worry about losing my bravery–-along with getting too heavy.
As for the ESP thingie, I sometimes think my Mom and I have a mental link which is strange since she lives on an island in the middle of the Pacific. Thursday, August 14, 2008 : 11:58
elananano: ella's neglecting the number fourteen reminds me of riding in some elevators where they skip the number thirteen! maybe she is just superstitious? Thursday, August 14, 2008 : 11:20
blaine: i think it's weird you're considering your relative lack of braveness (increase of fear) lately, because that has been consuming my thoughts lately - ESP much?
pony: I like the idea of a "How the mighty have fallen" double bill, as in "The Conversation" followed by "Behind Enemy LInes" or "The Godfather" followed by "Gigli" Wednesday, August 13, 2008 : 13:21
