Brasil is really just a semi-comedic take on 1984. Hard pass on both.

.. Salt?

Boy, are you a breath of fresh air.

If I have to read so much as one more vague utterance of the right wing, my revolver is poised-- and ready to decorate the ceiling crimson-pink.

The really hilarious thing about this post is that Anthony is just parroting the neo-con position of the government. You both seem to think it’s liberal because the Dems are in power but it’s the exact same interventionist shit that both Bush Jr. And Sr. did for years. Ya done been played...AGAIN! ;D

Yes, for most of my life, in fact. They’re called liberals. :o

SNL would later show the dress rehearsal version of this sketch in reruns. In it, when Seth and Horatio make their entrance to deliver huge news, Horatio IMMEDIATELY cracks up for no apparent reason, leading to Jimmy also cracking up. My god. Jimmy also cracks up later in the dress version of this sketch, right after Tracy’s dramatic monologue. During that laughing of Jimmy’s, Will actually shoots Jimmy a very stern look (in jest, I assume), leading to Jimmy saying “Sorry” while putting on a straight face.
— I like the 1960s sound to the musical number that the partygoers suddenly break out into.
— Fantastic singing from Ana. Sure, we’ve long known that she’s a great singer, as her singing voice has been displayed in many prior sketches during her SNL tenure, but her voice comes off particularly strong in this sketch after hearing a few other cast members sing prior to her.
— This ridiculously extensive musical number (even featuring Maya doing a flip at point) is both very amusing and very fun. Sketches like this aren’t usually always my cup of tea, but it’s just working perfectly in this particular case.
— This sketch is another interesting time capsule of the post-9/11 patriotic and anti-Afghanistan sentiment of America at the time.
— Tracy’s streak of only playing effeminate roles has finally come to an end.
— The dress rehearsal version of this sketch shown in reruns humorously has Tracy’s noble character incongruously wearing a wild pimp outfit instead of the more logical dignified suit he wears in the live version.
— A hilarious and fantastic turn in this sketch with Tracy’s deep, dramatic monologue, complete with a spotlight, camera zoom-ins, and poignant camera angles.
— Will, regarding Tracy’s monologue: “Even though a lot of the words this wise man used are not real, he’s right.”
— The ending visual of Tracy’s cheesy whitebred dancing with the partygoers is cracking me up.
STARS: ****½

You can see why someone has to shut this guy down.

I had this experience this morning. I was tickety-takety on the yikety-yakety--yeah, don't ask--and I was writing my way through a brilliant piece of work, not A Great Work, by any means, but it was a well-done piece of writing. And then, I finished, and while fiddling about with final edits and such, I was thinking, "you know, it might be time to just finish this up," all of a sudden! Blammo!

The whole thing disappeared. I was writing an email in an HTML WYSIWYG editor on a mailbox webportal, one that I shall let remain unnamed.

Because, I'm -mad-. One of the best damn things I ever wrote? BOOM. Urge to kill: detectable.

So I figured I have a Space Editor now. A floating, disembodied artifact, given life by the Universe's desperate plea for someone, anyone, to finally figure out a way to get me to shut.the.fuck.up, Jackstar, holy shit, like, what is my problem, right?

I hear the Vogons are gearing up to hold a contest to see how many of their poems that can be blamed on me, the authorship of, can also be submitted to either Penthouse Forum or Playboy Letters, and... oh, bother, never mind.

I have had it. No more over-describing. Was it really all worth it, I have zero doubt. But what exactly am I striving for now?

I mean... I'm good, right? I feel good. Should be okay. I'm not real concerned anymore, and that's been established. I mean, what's the worst that can happen? I mean, besides the ending to Friday The Thirteenth, which I remember being frightened by as a child, and now... oh, a ghoul, that's what happened. I know how to deal with those now. And I wondered in my youth, "why did she get in the boat anyway? Seems unsafe, unwise, and more than a bit contrived..." but the way ghouls work is that they draw unwary humans to the place they died, and then... well, they need something to animate, right?

Look, it's technical. But somewhere along the line between then and now, I somehow got really good at, just by guessing, I guess, how to deal with highly unusual types of pest infestations--hey, anyone got a problem with too many nightflyers stopping by to feed? Yep, I know what to do. Well, I know what I'd do, anyway. And if I were there, well, then that would be what to do. And if I'm not there, well, I take PayPal. Hell's bells, why not, I've already been playing Scattergories with Satan, I might as well go whole hog now. YOLO!

First, be polite. Secondly, be respectful. Third: go to highschool with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and wind up years later with her on speed dial. While this may be a bit difficult for some of you to arrange, I can assure you: the extra effort is completely worth it.

No, thank you.

Yep. That being what Johnathan Pryce says in the film... I can imagine a basis for your distaste. I don't even have to be churlish. I tried watching the supposed follow up, I can't even remember the name, and I just COULD NOT get into it.

I'm just generally opposed to watching screenys these days. I may get back into the swing of it. It could happen. Things changed a lot in the last 36 hours ago or so--now that I am no longer on either watch list, Country -OR- Western--and I guess, I can, like, start visualizing what the component parts are going to be.

I would simply prefer not to for the time being. But I can. Just like, say, watching a movie. I -could- watch a movie. But, I would simply prefer not to. Real life has become ever so much more interesting and fascinating than ever before, although one would, from the outside, not be too blamed for thinking that I am having it pretty rough. On the contrary: exalted grace.

Doing great. Feeling fine. Now, don't get me wrong--I stopped drinking. Pink cloud is real. Not that I drink a whole lot anyway, but I don't drink often, and the last few weeks, well, I haven't had to do any driving, right? No where to go, nothing to see... may as well get plastered, wooooo--*cough* oh, right, I'm fucking old now. After a mere two or three weeks of guzzling nothing but cider, wine, and raw meat--well, cold, anyway--I will freely admit that, wow, what a waste of money, and eewww, gross, look at the bags under my eyes. Holy shit. Am I actually vain? Or do I really look like Hunter Biden -already-? Okay, so: fuck that.

It helps that I have no reason to numb my emotions--at all--so a return to normal human feeling accompanied by an actual return to normalcy, such as that may be, is willing to be embraced by my poor, battered, subconscious mind. The poor thing has been screaming internally that something was going wrong, for, oh, let's see... about two years now. Let's see, when was SARS-CoV2? November... 2019. Yeah, I remember, that's when the fam got sick. All of us.

And I -never- get sick. That was the beginning, and I've been on high crisis alert, ever since. I mean, don't get me wrong: I'm a badass. I won. You don't even know what my victory conditions were, so just settle down your shack talk. You people don't even know the good stuff, my hand to God, and while that hand is up there, I will say a legit prayer, I hope no one ever has to know the all of it, until I'm dead or have changed my identity or I can sail to Iapetus or some shit.

Two years and 3 months of non-stop what the fuck ever-itis. I can hardly believe it's over, but it basically kind of is. Although, like, a trial. And, I'm moving eventually, but I was gonna do that -anyway- (little did anyone know--of course I was not staying, Jesus, some of you Punylings are adorable, you know that?) and I can be quite assured that it's either going to be not-guilty from a jury or just dismissed, or, wonder of wonders, someone goes for the double-down jugular strike.

Not preferred, frankly. I'm a lover, not a throatcutter. I'm basically open to learning new skills though. I was keeping myself pure before, but we saw how that went, so...  well, fudge.

Why am I even blogging here, for fuck's sake? Oh, right. I totally remember.


You dorks and geeks and nerds pretending to be tough are my actual family. Hi. I bet you thought I forgot the real you and me. Sorry I've been neglecting keeping up with holiday greetings and all, but I'm gonna be real, real honest: something had to be done to weed out the riffraff. You're welcome.

Yeah, I can't see myself preferring to watch a movie, than to just enjoy the simple pleasure of writing composition. Yeah, I'm probably going to keep it up. Yeah, what the hell. Why not, right? It's not like writers ever get kidnapped and murdered, right? I should be okay, no matter what.

Because I know I AM.


p.s.: I'm confused. Are you saying... I need that? Like, I thought we have been over this enough times already. Didn't I just write about that yesterday? Maybe you didn't read it.


mebbe you jelly

I like the film. I just don’t want to live in it. The aim of a cautionary tale is to avoid that, hopefully.
