    Aaron Neville is like the absolute perfect character for Horatio Sanz, and I have no idea why.

     

    HBO showed all of Treme s3 a couple weeks ago in the runup to s4 and the Neville Bros were in one episode. When Aaron Neville was singing all I could think of was Horatio's impression (he did it on SNL at least once) and how great it is. Then of course I was surprised and delighted to hear him today, in all his cocoa buttery goodness.

    Whoa, whoa, whoa. hold the phone. That sounds kinda racist. Daffy Duck is the black Looney Toon after all.

    That being said, I find myself agreeing with joebronx on this one folks, but hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

     

    Not sure if joking...or didn't get the reference:

    The "Word" thing absolutely needs to stop.

    Since we're talking about movies porting over to other mediums, has anyone ever read the novelization of a movie? Not movie that is based on an already existing book or a book that is based in a world/reality from a popular movie (i.e, the Star Wars spinoff books), but a novelization of an original screenplay. Like, has anyone ever read the novel-versions of Die Hard or Back To The Future? I always wondered who would buy those? What purpose do they serve? You can see the movie, so why read a book about the movie?

     

    Have you seen Ryan North's blog going through the Novelization of Back to the Future? It's pretty great:

    He basically compares it page-by-page to the real movie.

     

    For me, I had the novelization of Can't Hardly Wait because I loved that movie so much and I was a dumb teen!

    They said it, they said the thing!! [gestures to icon]

    And rightly deserved as this movie was so upsetting. It was so jarring hearing [one of the guys who played] Dumbledore be evil. I'm not cool enough to have seen his other films that were mentioned - oops.

    There's no way I could have handled this as a kid. I'm still kind of too sensitive now to handle toys getting blown apart by each other.

    In conclusion and in summary, Trevor Horn, how could you.

    Ok, so what's up with June facing away from the camera for the group shot? And there being no pics of her in the episode? Did she and Casey Wilson reenact Street Fighter and give each other black eyes?

    She's viral buzz marketing Ass "Backwards" ;)

     

    There are A LOT of problems with this movie, but let me just start with the title: Glimmer Man. As Brian Cox tells us (while he awkwardly swims with his villain pal), he was the Glimmer Man because when he murdered people in Viet Nam, they would see nothing and then just a glimmer ... before they died. Um. How do we know this? If it's the last thing that someone saw before they die, how are they communicating this? Are they live-tweeting their assassination? Is Seagal doing some Buddhist mind reading? Does the horrible device from Wild Wild West exist in this world? What the f?

     

    That is a great point! My beef is just that it's misleading. Like if you told me there was a movie called "Glimmer Man" about cops trying to catch a serial killer, I would think that was the cool code name of the killer. Like "Zodiac" or "Son of Dad."

    Adventure Time is fucking sweet. I have no shame in watching it as an adult. I make my pup wear the fin hat every once in a while even though she pouts when I strap it to her noggin. 'Cause how else will I be properly equipped to accost people with pictures of my pet?

     

    I guess that was needlessly defensive. I am not ashamed, I just acknowledge that others are bigger fans than I.

    Also I absolutely need to see those dog pictures!

    I think the movie Howie was trying to remember was "Valley Girl" which had Nic Cage as well as EG Daily.

     

    Now onto an embarrassing story. I'm a sometimes-watcher of Adventure Time (I like it, not a die-hard by any means but it's a fun show). When the genderswapped Fionna and Cake episode aired, I tweeted that I thought it would have been cool if Jill Talley voiced the Ice Queen, since of course Tom Kenny voices the King. (They met at the credits and now they're married.)

     

    I was careful to give Grey props because it wasn't even like she did a bad job, it was more just "comedy nerd wants novelty casting." Well apparently that was the *wrong* thing to say:

    When it happened I thought it was a GdL superfan lashing out at me. Imagine my surprise to listen to Whooch today and find out that this is her husband! As soon as she mentioned the red-haired avatar I was like "oh shit." So he sticks up for her on the twitters, which is a nice thing for a partner to do.
