Ludes, Whip-its, and carpentry

It's still weird seeing him do this visually since I grew up listening to a bootleg cassette of it. I wonder where that went...here's a cool little story I read about how this stand-up routine came to fruition.

After a childhood in the 1960s, Leary went to Emerson College in Boston, where he tried his hand at acting and writing. He was a charter member of Emerson's Comedy Workshop, and taught at the college for five years after graduating. By that point he had written several pieces for magazines and had worked at stand-up comedy for a time. In 1990 he and his wife Ann flew to London to perform in the BBC's Paramount City. That weekend Ann's water broke. Their planned weekend trip became a stay of months, and Denis, with not a whole lot to do in London, wrote a one-man comedy act. He brought friends in from the States, and they wrote songs to perform on stage.

"We didn't have MTV, we had the fucking supermarket!"

Hey, who remembers OPERATION DUMBO DROP? I'd say Dr. L has come a long way.

This is the kind of thing I really dig (note the one g), as I am a devotee of the existential struggle my high school English teachers taught me about with the help of Camus and Sarte.

Hope you're LOL'ing by now. Happy HUMPDAY, stranger.

I give the film a B+

"The executives at Sony are as high as the characters in the movie over the strong opening for the film," one studio insider quipped. (deadlinehollywooddaily.com)

“Working in publicity in an agency is like being in charge of valet at a parapalegic camp,” Brillstein quipped...






Having worked in entertainment as well as the valet industry, my condolences to the Brillstein family.

Brillstein liked the money but argued against the project on the grounds that Spielberg had never done comedy and the script was not really that funny. But Belushi told Brillstein, “I can’t turn down Spielberg.” (Source: deadlinehollywooddaily.com)

I haven't even seen this movie yet, but for some reason I get a warm fuzzy sensation that it's going down in as true lore in the cult films lexicon. This article says it all. I especially like the writer's Judge Judy joke, and usually even invoking her name causes me Fury!!

Then the warm and fuzzy feeling goes away, when I think about the warm and fuzzy feeling the shark had in it's mouth before the crunch of kitty bones was drowned out by some surfer douche yelling "Hang ten, bra!"

Tastes like God's vagina
