The Deer Hunter is a classic movie. Unfortunately it is classic in the terms of Mark Twain’s definition, “A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.”

Fantastic acting, great story line. Unforunately marred by a four hour wedding scene involving Pennsylvania steel workers.

I tend to quote Mark Twain’s definition of a classic far too often because I like to hide behind how poorly read I am in the classics. It makes a great excuse while still sounding moderately intelligent since you’re quoting a classic author.

If you aren’t really impressive, you can still make them think you are.

Comic from the always delightful Kristian Nyg(funky A)rd at Optipess

Superpoop takes pictures, and comments on them. We took a look at one other comic too (here). The comic is funny, and at the same time soul-suckingly sad. I guess maybe the person who decided a note to express their anger needed to be devoid of an article, punctuation, and possibly a posssesive pronoun, so as to adequately express their depraved economic condition, their lack of education because of this particular train being late. I might go with that.

Another one for today because, well, it’s friday.

After I looked at the psge today I realized that I was posting a sort of depressing comic, and so I wanted to make sure I got the point across that depressing is actually fuinny. Think Napolean Dynamite. Think Rainn Wilson (dwight from the office). Think overweight Seth Rogen. Think underweight Seth Rogen. Think Eddie Murphy’s movie career. Think any of the “genre” movies. (disaster movie, scary movie, epic movie, terrible movie). I think I went from depressing to just awful.

If anything, this should server to improve your day by making you realize how much better you have it. And Aliens vs. Sheep could be the next Pixar movie.

I live in Oklahoma, and storm chasing is just something that is done. Did you see Twister? It’s kind of like that, only way less science. Bill Paxton was also way nerdier than we are. All you have to know is the tornado most often forms in the southwestern part of the mass.

Also of note, Twister was rated PG-13 for “intense depiction of very bad weather”, how does the MPAA decide that? The Perfect Storm got the PG-13 sticker for “scenes of peril”, I think there was bad weather in that one. I want to be on the MPAA then, that way I could have waterworld an ‘R’ rating for ‘excessive and intense scenes involving hydrogen mixed with oxygen’… maybe even an ‘NC-17′ for ‘terrible movie’.

Hello With Cheese can be just a weee bit wacky.

My brother always dreams about training an army of monkeys to air drop on some poor unsuspecting country that is ripe for the conquering.

Just imagine looking into the sky and seeing a spider monkey with a bomb strapped to its chest floating down with a parachute. You know you’d be scared.

And if anyone that reads this proceeds to train a legion of war-monkeys, I will sue you… Or send my monkeys for you.

Much more frightening than the crawling tuna.

Monsters are really all about monetary gain and making gutteral sounds that strike fear into everyone who can hear. Kind of like any screamo band. Screamo? really? No one can understand what you are saying, er… singing? surely it can’t be anything to important though, because I make similar sounds when I eat spoiled meat.

But really, wht will we use to describe evil at its purest? Monsters just remind kids of big furry blue John Goodman (his natural habitat) or a gelatinous Seth Rogen. Any way you look at it, calling someone a monster in thirty years will be to call them overweight, but generally of a cheery, yet misunderstood, disposition.
