1:24 am - Beats of Akron
|
The creator of MTV's Downtown, Chris Pryonski, is selling the series on his blog: http://chrisprynoski.blogspot.com/
$25 for the whole thing, plus extras and commentary. I no longer have any money, and am fairly satisfied with the TV rips that I have, but I thought someone might be interested.

I have written a Christmas joke. It is as follows: Smoke the North Pole.
I see no reason not to repeat what I did last year and embed this:
This year I also want to embed this, which I have yet to watch fully though I did buy his album:

Yesterday Maya became fascinated with the notion of knock-knock jokes. We took turns trying to come up with our own. She kept thinking up only the first part, hoping by the time she got through saying it, the punchline would pop into her head. By this process, she unwittingly came up with this gem, which I can't find easily on Google so I'll assume she's the first:
-Knock knock.
-Who's there?
-Me.
-Me who?
-Exactly.
I came up with this one, though Google tells me I'm not the first:
-Knock knock.
-Who's there?
-Alla.
-Alla who?
-Akbar!
(I know it's spelled with an H, but this way I was hoping to maintain a shred of the element of surprise.)

12:57 am - And the top three contenders, which were later ripped off...

This makes me extremely happy. I recently stole (rented and copied) a copy of Rian Johnson's film Brick. Having watched it and listened to the commentary, I started reading the soundtrack bit from the credits. Everything seemed normal there, except for this:
"Brain Hammer"
Written and Performed by The Hospital Bombers Experience
Courtesy of Amalgamated Conglomorate Music Inc.
I googled the heck out of The Hospital Bombers Experience. Particularly because that seemed like a very clever name, which obviously referred to this. But to no avail. Eventually, I remembered there was an official Brick forum, where Johnson himself made appearences. Having spent two minutes there, I found this:
Someone wrote:
Y'know, I put the DVD on today while doing chores, and I noticed that there is just one piece of music in the film that isn't on the soundtrack. And amazingly, if the forum's search function is to be believed, no one has ever asked about it before.
So who IS the Hospital Bombers Experience?
To which Johnson replied:
Oooooooh....... I'm sure you've wondered what that catchy tune is that Tug keeps in the tape deck of his car? That was me chugging some noise into protools at 2 in the morning with my electric guitar. Anyone catch the band name reference?
As an aside, The Best Ever Death Metal Band In Denton was released in 2002, and The Killers only became famous in 2004, so after 2004, John Darnielle has been known to change the lyrics during live shows to the title of this post.

Oh man!
This and Quantum Leap were my two favorite shows in, like, the third grade. I hadn't though of it in years, found it by randomly going through the IMDB profile for the woman who plays Jan on The Office.

12:21 pm - Pain don't hurt.
|
In the course of my lifetime, I have seen two snatches of Road House. One was when I was about twelve, of a guy walking into a bar who has some kind of knife/blade on the sole of his shoe. The other was much more recently, in the past three years, I think, of some important criminal guy beating up one of his henchmen, explaining that he doesn't like him because he's a 'bleeder'.
The first scene stuck in my mind, for some reason, but both times (which I didn't realize were related), I thought it was some horrible cheesy movie I'll never ever see again or know anything about.
But it turns out not only are the two scenes from the same movie, I even watched it. And it was even a big deal at the time and has an actor whose name I recognize. You never can tell.
I watched it because of RiffTrax, which is shaping up to be much less than I'd expected. I never saw too much of MST3K, except for the movie, which I play whenever people gather for my birthday. But the movie has a joke every second or two. You're bombarded with them, and as they say, when you throw enough things against the wall... RiffTrax just has a lot less jokes, so even when they happen to be funny it's just not the same. And half the time it's only Mike Nelson, which is, again, not the same.
