Movie Combo Game
For those of you playing, the answer was: Romancing Sly and the Family Stone.

I describe a film plot based on two movies.
You tell me the combined title.
For example: Plot: suburban family gets mad at a hairy mountain-beast for satirizing them in his roman-a-clef.
Title: Deconstructing Harry and the Hendersons.
So reblog or comment with an answer to the following, but ONLY if you write your own...

Oh, Michael
I can’t help but think that if he’d known the world would show this outpouring of love and support upon his death, maybe he wouldn’t have driven himself mad with self-loathing, turning into a living picture of Dorian Gray so to speak. Maybe somewhere, there is a beautiful, black, wide-nosed Michael roaming the earth, making amazing music in solitude, and living forever.
You had...
The Sound of Young America
Am listening to Merlin Mann’s talk about creativity to avoid working on the spec script I started. I expect the irony will hit my bloodstream in a matter of moments, killing me instantly.
Father's Day
It can be hard to write heartfelt entries on a stupid blog about very real, very personal things. Yet when other people post such entries, I rejoice. So here’s the best I can do while protecting some details that needn’t be in the public domain.
It’s Father’s Day. I have been spending the last two weeks with my father in Reno. They have been a hard couple of weeks....

Hey, NY Times, what’s with the basketball-player analogies? More to the point: what’s with the shitty basketball-player analogies?

Accidentally left the ‘M’ out of ‘Gmail.com.’
But Gail is my new hero.
Tumblarity
Tumblarity is a ridiculous concept. Your number goes higher based on several factors, but it seems the most important (and easiest) factor is just that you keep posting. And posting. And posting. As though Tumblr is some sort of word/image/video vampire and it needs your posts to go on growing larger and stronger, then inevitably even hungrier for more info to suck the marrow out of until...
Dilemna
If you’re going through old tweets that you have favorited and you come across one from May 6th that you thought was funny at the time, but only now do you actually get the reference from Annie, which makes the joke EVEN FUNNIER … do you tell the person and risk looking like a complete weirdo?
Or do you write a sort of open letter-ish Tumblr entry about it and then you just let them...
Why I Like Kids
Here in Reno, my dad and I have been over at his girlfriend’s house quite a bit. His girlfriend is very, very close to her family and so they’re all usually around as well, including her two-year-old niece, Jasmin, and her three-year-old grandson, Noah.
I like kids and it’s been a while since I’ve gotten to interact with any.
Jasmin was very easy to endear myself to....
Dear, 'Seven Year Itch':
I know you’re a classic. And yes, I love Billy Wilder. But I’m going to come out and say it:
Richard Sherman is a fucking asshole and no amount of hemming and hawing on his part is going to make him any less of an asshole.
Plus, you were kind of ripping off Unfaithfully Yours. You know you were.
Sincerely,
Lindsay Katai
Watching Movies With Dad
Situation: we have just turned on an episode of ‘Star Trek’ - ‘The Enterprise Incident.’ It’s one I haven’t seen before.
Dad: Oh, this is the one where the female Romulan commander is trying to get Spock to betray the Federation. Spock uses the Vulcan Death Grip on Kirk, but there’s actually no such thing - Spock and Kirk have a plan to steal the...

“You’ve been warned, Barrister Trubabble, the Lullaby Guild does not engage in this sort of vile chicanery!”

You never cease to amaze me.
Wait for it … wait for it … AHHHH! THE INTERNET WINS!
I just got back from another trip to Disneyland - this time I took my dad. It was the first time he’d been in 20 years. I was expecting the same fireworks show I’d seen just two weeks beforehand. Instead, they had a Dumbo segment and played Baby Mine, which is a song that comes close to tearing my heart right out of my chest every time I hear it. Then, at the song’s emotional...
Movies With Mom
My mother and I are on the couch, watching ‘Role Models.’
(The scene: Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott are at orientation for their court ordered community service, as Big Brother-types.)
Paul Rudd: I’d rather be in jail.
And then my mom (who teaches first grade) says: So would I.

Can we talk about how much I love Bryan Safi?
Yes. Yes, we can. Si se puede.
Live Nude Comedy →
michaelbusch:
An article about Showtime’s Live Nude Comedy produced by Whitney Cummings - I did a couple bits on the show, one with Shannon Elizabeth and one with a burlesque dancer (Tonya Kay). Lots of funny people on this show (see video below) including The Midnight Show’s Josh Fadem, and also some cool dancers. And pasties. Here’s a video that shouldn’t be watched around children or small...
