The Jerymn Hotel was wonderful. Girls of Scranton knew how to look good. I bought Estes rockets and we did Lunch Launch, which later was the Transcendian Message Rocket Program. Transcendian you tube is my transcendian channel and there is transcendia.org, and transcendia.org/wordpress. You are right about the film. Doesn't do your career any good to be associated. I worked on We'll Take Manhattan, Tin Star Void, Bail Jumper, and Brain Twisters, none of which are possible to find and watch.Transcendiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05682258482642917055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-1775385680250415122009-06-03T23:14:26.364-04:002009-06-03T23:14:26.364-04:00Dang, my memory sucks!

I mean, remake. <br /><br />Have you mentioned Jump Tomorrow before? Because I vaguely remember asking you about Amy Sedaris and the size her role as "Other Student in Class." <br /><br />Johnny Rico: You mean to tell me that the Serbian people can't get enough of Nick Slaughter and his tropical antics? Weird, wild stuff. I mean, I've never even seen the show; and I'm supposed to be a "Canadian person" (you know, its intended audience). I do, however, recall seeing ads for it (it's called Sweating Bullets over here), but I never... Anyway, I'm glad to see that Serbs are embracing Canadian culture.Yum-Yumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897678877069611172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-19306761105417928802009-06-03T13:57:46.308-04:002009-06-03T13:57:46.308-04:00Hey, Yum, sorry for the deleted comment, I didn...Hey, Yum, sorry for the deleted comment, I didn't want to do multiple posts at once. Anyways, check <a href="http://i42.tinypic.com/iznvcn.png" rel="nofollow">this</a> out. There's also a poster saying "terrible" instead of "tropical" in today's newspaper, but I couldn't find it online in a decent resolution. Here's some well-written <a href="http://www.belgraded.com/blog/culture/tropical-heat-nick-slaughter-serbia" rel="nofollow">background info</a> and an <a href="http://www.blic.rs/culture.php?id=4152" rel="nofollow">interview</a> in a daily newspaper. He's supposed to have arrived already. Just some funny Canada-related stuff I thought you'd like to know. :)Johnny Ricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01125002161893227562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-34353582865152877322009-06-03T13:11:49.660-04:002009-06-03T13:11:49.660-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Johnny Ricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01125002161893227562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-49382362621640831922009-06-03T09:15:18.053-04:002009-06-03T09:15:18.053-04:00Right after I sent off that message, I read about ...Right after I sent off that message, I read about another re-do of a favorite of yours, Valley Girl. Valley Girl, the musical. Okay...<br /><br />Gord D. would seem to me to be a great narrator. He has a good voice for it. <br /><br />Have I seen any masterpieces? My current film obsession is this 2001 gem of a film, Jump Tomorrow, starring the lead singer of TV on the Radio It's set in Western New York (woohoo!) and is about an about-to-be-married Nigerian-American who befriends a suicidal Frenchman and becomes smitten with a cute Latina. <br />I've watched it a few times.Karim Amirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548335754518818364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-23257753368924226852009-06-03T08:10:39.491-04:002009-06-03T08:10:39.491-04:00Yes I did. And all I have to say is: Heathers 2 so...Yes I did. And all I have to say is: Heathers 2 sounds like a terrible idea. <br /><br />I actually remember hearing the word "gerund." I also recall it being uttered on The Daily Show awhile back (I have a great gerund memory). <br /><br />On my side of the quiz show table, the look of mock surprise/shame that woman sported after she got the Rick Springfield clue correct annoyed me. <br /><br />I had a feeling you'd know who Forke was.<br /><br />I don't how one goes about botching a techno scene. <br /><br />Thanks. I guess shit films are my buttered bread. <br /><br />Have you seen any masterpieces recently? I have forgotten what they look like. ;)<br /><br />Oh, and Gord Downie is the narrator for a new doc called Waterlife (just saw it advertised in a local weekly).Yum-Yumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897678877069611172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-21441894044946212762009-06-02T22:08:56.323-04:002009-06-02T22:08:56.323-04:00Did you hear there might be a Heathers sequel in t...Did you hear there might be a Heathers sequel in the works? The hell?<br /><br />'Cause I know you watch Jeopardy--I got all giddy at last night's "gerund" clue. <br /><br />So this is what Farrah Forke did in her days before "Wings." <br /><br />Wow, this film...you even hated the techno scene? That's some waste of celluloid there, eh?<br /><br />I know I've said it before but it bears repeating. You write such entertaining reviews of shit films. Where's the fun in reviewing masterpieces?Karim Amirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548335754518818364noreply@blogger.com
