    Oops, I'm sorry Auden, but I think you're mistaking me for someone else. Which kind of underscores my point of that I'm not very famous, in that Jack Johnson, PI is more memorable than me even without a single post on page 9

    I was trying to make a joke. You post about wanting to be memorable so I delibrately mixed you up with someone else, implying that you are not memorable. I was also calling back to a similar joke I've made a few pages back. That one also failed. You are memorable, Fabio's Socks, and I am bad at jokes.

    So I'm hitting my 113th post, but I'm disappointed I still haven't forged the kind of memorable forum persona that so many of you have.

     

    I decided to consult one of the forum's most-decorated personalities (who shall remain nameless) and together we decided my best option in creating a brand is for me to constantly bring up the place I live until I become famous for living in a frozen wasteland where our QB's knees explode for literally no reason.

     

    Posted from my Android Phone in Beautiful Minnesota.

    Frozen wasteland! Now, Jack Johnson P.I., I've never been to Minnesota, but I've seen "Golden Girls", so I know MN is not a wasteland.

    Julie Klausner's favorite podcasts are HH and The Best Show. (And guys, the current season of Difficult People is fantastic.)

     

    Heads up to all you podnerds, Hayes is on the latest episode of High and Mighty with Joey Garboni.

     

    Jake and Amir are slackin because the ep isn't on their site yet

    http://headgum.com/p...igh-and-mighty/I

     

    It's up now: http://headgum.com/e...ayes-davenport/

    Thanks for the heads up! The interview was delightful!

     

    - Sidebar: I love that Sean mentioned Non Sequitur on this week's HH. Danae is great.

     

    - Hayes and Jon don't like Mary Worth?! With strips like this?!

    - Hayes had an internet girlfriend. Ladies.

     

    - Sean had a tennis scholarship for college! That explains Steffi, Teen Pope, and his knowledge of Michael Chang.

     

    - Hayes said something about how by the time this episode of High & Mighty airs, they might not be doing HH anymore. D: Is the show really in trouble?

    Okay, that checks out. Thanks for including me in your retribution against soup.

    You're welcome.

     

    i thought for a second you'd gone back to your people displeasing ways.

    I never stopped.

     

    Sorry, the toner for my printer is kind of spendy. Also, you have never, I repeat never called me a sweetie. It's Ok though, we're still cool.

    You're a sweetie, and it would really please me if you would let me squeezie

    That's high praise coming from Joe. He knows from sweet; he's the OC (Original Clementine).

    wait, what's going on Auden? I see souprman mentioned some mistake he made, but what's my role in this? just so's i can prepare for the part. to be clear i am not now nor have I ever been souprman

    I was making fun of souprman for mixing up Lizzy's and my name in the image he had uploaded by purposely mixing up your name with souprman's. I picked you because Charlie Murphy Brown is very different from souprman and also based on ur posts you seem v. easy-going so I figured u won't be upset to be used in a joke.

    I tried to make it a little higher quality, clarified the Tuesday morning line, and put the QR code in the bottom left. For some reason it gave me less issues fitting it on a page if it turned it sideways. There's still some excess to trim off, but I tried my darnedest

    Thanks for doing this, Henry! You are a big sweetie.

    WOW I guess my handmade sign just isn't good enough. It's ok Auden just stomp all over my feelings. I miss the cats where podcast promotion was done with a pen and God's greatest tools, our hands!

    If anything, Mr. thejjar Chase, your artisanal, bespoke sign is too good for me. Being the son of a bank owner, you might not know that courture signs are out-of-reach for most people.

    I'm always amazed at how the boys picked the most wide-ranging and unlikely references. In honor of that achievement, I've "made" a pic that honeys can send to their little sweeties.

    Now I'm curious what you'd think of

    . It's based (loosely) on a series of French graphic novels, and feels like The Fifth Element if it were directed by Terry Gilliam instead of Luc Besson and its recognizable actors were replaced with CGI Egyptian gods. It's so goddamned French that I remember watching it with subtitles, but apparently it was an English language film and there were no subtitles.

    The movie looks wild. Just going by the trailer and your synopsis, I'm not sure if I would like it or not. But for sure I would give it points for the great-looking special effects and for its daring creativity.

    This movie also (like most new releases) makes me sad that Roger Ebert passed away. I always loved reading his reviews and I know he was a huge fan of Proyas and I'd be really interested to hear his take on this movie.

    Personal story time! I only started to pay attention to movie critics after I read Roger Ebert's review of The Grey. I'm not a big cryer, but after watching The Grey I had to lock myself in a restroom stall for a good 10 minutes before I could stop sobbing, and by the end, I had ran out of tears and was pretty much just gasping. Later, I saw the trailer for Moonrise Kingdom. I like Wes Anderson, but at that time I found myself angrily thinking, my god, can't you do anything that's not twee. I went online hoping to find that I wasn't alone in feeling this way and I found Ebert's review. Here's what he wrote:

    I was also stunned with despair. It so happened that there were two movies scheduled that day in the Lake Street Screening Room (where we local critics see many new releases). After "The Grey" was over, I watched the second film for 30 minutes and then got up and walked out of the theater. It was the first time I've ever walked out of a film because of the previous film. The way I was feeling in my gut, it just wouldn't have been fair to the next film.

    Ever since then I've been a fan. I regret that I discovered him so late, and I'm sad that he's no longer with us. And I think he would've loved Gods of Egypt.

     

    I don't think modern audience are too receptive to ancient mythology. It's too wild, illogical, amoral, distant and metaphorical.

     

    Here's another small and quick flash of beauty in "Gods of Egypt". Horus and Bek were at this barren sandy plot of land and Horus told Bek that it used to be the most beautiful garden in Egypt and that Osiris loved it. Set took Osiris to the garden and cut him up into 14 pieces. Bek asked if Set then salted the earth. Horus answered, "No. It was my mother's tears."

    I was going to watch this movie yesterday, but I got distracted by the Amazon pilots. Anyone watch The Tick, Jean Claude van Johnson, or I Love Dick?

    About Jean-Claude Van Johnson The Decider said, “The cast of How Did This Get Made is going to love this.” They are 1/3 correct so far. Paul likes it. I like it too. The sight of Jean-Claude as a middle-aged, ripped, sai-wielding Huck Finn made me laughed out loud.

    (For those who haven't watched the pilot, the lady is Tom Sawyer, and they kissed.) The show also introduced me to this lovely song.

    is that Liev Schreiber part aimed at Steve because i always thought his picture was just Liev with a santa hat and glasses but then I figured it had already been covered on here before and that everyone was okay with Liev posting as steve.

    I was referencing episode 66, that episode where Zachary Levi accidentally revealed a secret. Beginning at the 1 hour and 26th minute mark, the boys played a clip of Steve Schreiber accidentally revealing a secret of Jon Voight at the Chabad Telethon.

    I enjoyed Gods of Egypt a lot. To quote Manohla Dargis, "[E]ven as this movie teases you with its absurdity, it also offers you moments of beauty that shimmer like the outstretched wings of a goddess and moments of wit that surface in a hideaway wittily populated by duplicates of the same god, who’s having a ball talking to himself and himself and himself…."

    I'm thinking of getting the DVD. No, not by stealing it from RedBox. I'm gonna wait for the Black Friday sales when it'll probably go for $5.

     

    The special effects are often unconvincing, but when they land, they really land. For example, Anubis was impressive, with his hellhound head, human expressions and skin that seems to barely contain his molten flesh. And even when the special effects don't land, the designs are so beautiful and creative that their potential shines through the inadequate execution. For example, Ra's solar barge is very obviously enacted on a sound stage. But the design is still gorgeous and it still manages to evoke the beautiful desolation of being in the heavens.

     

    Speaking of the solar barge, I really love the image of the fire ball of sun being towed by the barge over a flat Earth.

    Other stuff that I think are cool:

     

    - Chaos is a devouring cyclone filled with sharp fangs.

     

    - Anat has a snake's forked tongue.

     

    - Set's flying chariot is drawn by 2 scarabs.

     

    You can see the gifs of those things here.

     

    Oh and the acting is great. Like the gang said, no one is phoning it in. For example, Emma Booth, the actress who plays Nephthys, acts her heart out even when she's in the background of a scene.

    No offense to cameron, but that was too long and after skimming I got the gist. Reddit really teaches you to skip that sort of post (they drive everything into the ground to be fair). The guy who quoted him in full to add a line of comment deserves to burn in hell though.

    This is really rude and hostile. I guess Reddit doesn't teach people how to read a room. Cameron H. and Quasar Sniifer are both veteran posters who are well-liked and respected. We tend to write long posts and go off on tangents and go off-topic on this forum. So if these things bother you, you probably won't be happy here.
