the choice of facial hair on this chief speaks volumes.

Wrong!  I like shaky butts as much as the next guy, but in this context, that's as un-sexy as it gets, Jack.

They both work in advertising (http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:wq4UePolVHcJ:www.miamiherald.com/tropical_life/story/567185.html).

This Approval Matrix seems derivative of (and less funny) than Amelie Gillette's Tolerability Index

I love the idea for this thread, but think it needs better examples than that Wii unpleasantness.

I loved the guy as a coach, but Jeff Van Gundy's head needs to be moved much farther to the left.

The two are easily confused. It's understandable.

 Hey Slob! Maybe consider moving that bong to the right of the television somewhere out of the shot.

That's how I feel about most of the internet sometimes.

I think it was a shame this thread didn't take off.

I'd like to offer Donal Logue, especially in this movie:

I don't much care for the Hairdresser song, but I covet the couch cover she's wearing.

The "Crackheads" performers give off a sort of a Jonestown vibe, no?  The rapping is really stiff and aggressively on-message, and the slang is something out of an after school special.  And the girl in the band serves no function at all. Couldn't they at least have given her a tambo to groove on?

And when did LSD become a gateway drug to crack? That seems like quite a jump to me.

Stairway to Stardom?  Count me in!

<Comin' to America>
<Poem about bashing some kid's head against the radiator>
<Hairdresser>


O.k.  Where to begin?
First of all, All the King's Men do a pretty decent job of vibing-up Neil Diamond, but I can't shake the feeling that if someone had given them a Contortions or a Gang of Four record back then, they could've been AWESOME...  Just a feeling I have...
Second, is it, "That's beautiful, Precious," or "That's beautiful, precious."  It's a big diff in that context.  And speaking of context, where is it?  Surely that can't be the whole poem, right?  I'm more curious about this than most things I could potentially be curious about this morning.
And last, the "Hairdresser" has opened up a couple of new songwriting doors for me - the way she sifts to the "Teaser Louise" thing in the middle is a revelation - she drops a whole Dion and the Belmonts update type of song (in which she says, "How can a model drink beer from a bottle" - better than anything the Strokes ever wrote) - right smack in the middle of a Shirelles update type of song - genius!

This movie was waste of time for Taoists and Steve's alike.  But I do love Donal Logue ... Mostly because of his old Jimmy The Cabdriver spots on MTV, remember ...?
