THE MOFO CHILL CLUB

[seanc]

Same. Didn't care for it the first time. I can't believe how my opinion on Anderson has changed over the last few years though.

[honeykid]

He needs a laugh and you recommend Wes Anderson? WTF? :p It should've been Jay & Silent Bob all day long, thoough I accept that Bubba Ho-Tep was also an acceptable answer.

I was going to post this in the funny pic thread, but I thought it might be needed here.

[gbgoodies]

1. I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK (2006; Chan-wook Park)
2. The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (2001; Larry Blamire)
3. Pootie Tang (2001; Louis C.K.)
4. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001; Kevin Smith)
5. 24 Hour Party People (2002; Michael Winterbottom)
6. Bubba Ho-Tep (2002; Don Coscarelli)
7. The Saddest Music in the World (2003; Guy Maddin)
8. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004; Wes Anderson)
9. The Wayward Cloud (2005; Ming-liang Tsai)
10. Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006; Scott Glosserman)

These are all listed as comedies on IMDb. Choose one of them for me to watch (some of them could be rewatches.) And if one of them isn't really a comedy let me know, so I can strike it from my list. The more fun the movie, the better. I need a little bit of escapism for now.

I haven't seen any of the movies on that list, but for a good comedy when you need a laugh, I would recommend either Liar, Liar with Jim Carrey, or My Cousin Vinny with Joe Pesci.

My Cousin Vinny is a good choice, too.

I know I'm probably late to the party, but Bubba Ho-Tep all the way.
It's in my top 10.

[Swan]

Whoa, Don Coscarelli directed Bubba Ho-Tep?

Also, I just realized he has "scare" in his name? Coincidence? Probably.

[jiraffejustin]

I'll watch that after Zissou. I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to it though. Hopefully tonight.

Anderson is such a breath of fresh air for me right now. The way he makes serious themes so light hearted and quircky. Always amazing characters. Glad is was just a little of what you needed JJ.

[Godoggo]

Yeah, Anderson definitely appeals to my aesthetic in that way. Light hearted and quirky but somewhat dark and serious underneath. He's also someone that I either love what he does or I don't like it all. Most of it I love though.

[rauldc14]

The one Anderson I saw I didn't like. But I need to see a second one soon.

[seanc]

The one Anderson I saw I didn't like. But I need to see a second one soon.

We have probably talked about this but what did you see again?

[Godoggo]

Which one was that? The two that I don't like are The Royal Tenenbaums and The Darjeeling Limited love the rest of them.

[Swan]

JJ, if you need a feel good movie, watch Fantastic Mr. Fox. Anderson's best film!

[Theo]

The Life Aquatic is great. And the soundtrack is so good. That one character who's just there singing David Bowie songs in Portuguese is my favorite.

I know you guys can't hear me but every time Fox is mentioned I make a clicking sound and whistle. Its like an instant reaction.

The Royal Tenenbaums. I would like to see Rushmore next.

[Swan]

I had a nightmare where I went to class and forgot my audio recorder.

Oh dear god!!! The horror. What did you do?????

[Swan]

I woke up. It was as scary as dying.

[rauldc14]

Never got the purpose of an audio recorder. Can't one pay attention :p

[Godoggo]

I bet.

I had a dream last night where I was walking around shirtless. I have that dream a lot. In my dream no one really notices or cares, but I keep thinking to myself that I really have to find a shirt to put on. Sometimes it's the bottom half that I forget, but I'm never completely naked. Thank god I guess. At least I didn't forget my audio recorder. That would be awful. :D

[Theo]

Never got the purpose of an audio recorder. Can't one pay attention :p

Exactly. Just take notes. It's easier.

[Swan]

Concentration is hard for me raul. My brain has a lot of bullsh*t going on in it all the time (though it's quieted down). I'm doing okay in this class but I could be doing better. My clinician recommended an audio recorder so I'm going to try it out.

[Swan]

Exactly. Just take notes. It's easier.

I already take notes and love note-taking but she says a lot of stuff she doesn't write down.

[rauldc14]

I had no dream. We got home late from the casino last night. We won.

[Godoggo]

I'm teasing Swan, but I had one for certain classes. I'm not a morning person, so mine helped in that regards. Also not a fast note taker so it helped me out there too.

[Swan]

I know you were, I was responding to the other jerks. I hope it helps a bit, I imagine it'll be good for studying for exams.

[Theo]

I tried to look up what being half naked in a dream means but it all sounds so dumb.

'Often times, when you realize that you are naked in your dream, no one else seems to notice. Everyone else in the dream is going about their business without giving a second look at your nakedness. If this happens in your dream, then it implies that your fears are unfounded; no one will notice except you. You may be magnifying the situation and making an issue of nothing.'

[Swan]

We need Sexy to interpret these dreams.

[rauldc14]

Sorry for being a jerk.

It does help if you have a wondering mind (I do) even when I try to pay attention something said will trigger a chain of thoughts and suddenly I'm thinking about Indonesian elephants and have no idea what the professor has been talking about for 20 minutes. I even do it in my creative writing class and that's a pretty hands on interactive class. Not much lecturing.

That sounds logical and is something everyone is prone to do from time to time, but I can't think about anything lately that would apply. I seem to be fear free at the moment.

Sort of. I guess a have a couple. :(

[Swan]

I have one big fear right now. I am terrified of forgetting my audio recorder.

[Godoggo]

I know! The same thing happens to me but I'm trying to control it more this time.

I can only do it in short bursts which is why the recorder was so nice. Plus I always seemed to sit next to that guy that can't sit still and taps and squirms and distracts me in all sorts of ways. Then my mind is occupied by thoughts of how to slowly torture that guy and once again I am not paying attention.

Boulder Creek Brewery & Cafe.

[Swan]

I just looked them up and I think they're different. The one I went to is actually in Boulder Creek (where I'm at right now), so it's probably just this one.

[seanc]

Nothing like a good burger.

[Swan]

I agree.

[Swan]

Let's see what was on it...

Angus patty using grass-fed beef
Cilantro-mayo sauce (AMAZING)
Red onions
Deep fried avocado
Sliced jalapeno peppers
Jack cheese

[seanc]

I'm not a chain snob. I like the Outbacks and Olive Gardens of the world just fine. We don't have a really great place here that I like to take people though. Everything is country cooking.

[Swan]

I'm not a snob either, if a burger is good it's good, I don't care where it's from. This just happened to be from a small place.

[seanc]

That sounds amazing. I would have skipped the jalapenos. I don't mind them but they kind of take away from everything else to me.

[Swan]

I love jalapenos and avocado on my burgers. LOVE it.

[seanc]

I have just become an avocado guy over the past year. Assumed I hated them because of my first guacamole experience. Turns out that was just not good guac, now I love avocado. All those wasted years.

I'm at the other end of Long Island, right at the border of Nassau and Queens, (near the New Hyde Park area).

I had leftover Thai from Wah Ha Ha. It's really good, but I prefer Chopstix.

I'm with you, Seanc. If a chain is better, it's better. I just go where food tastes good, chain or no.

Everyone here goes to this place Amelia's for Italian, but Carraba's is much better for less money. If Amelia's was better, I'd go there but they aren't.

I have lived in the northeast a good bit of my life but ironically my favorite Italian restaurant is here. One of those chains, but not really. It is called Provinos, and there are two or three of them in this area. Delicious food. Carrabas is great as well, I enjoy it a couple of times a year.

[seanc]

Are you a Mets fan, Gb?

[gbgoodies]

Cool, I miss things about LI. You can keep the cost of living though.:D


I agree 100%. There are some nice things about LI, but the cost of living is definitely not one of them.

Another problem is that we see a lot of advertising for restaurants that we don't have around here. Golden Corral, CiCi's Pizza, Sonic Drive-In, and even Dairy Queen. They all look so good, but we have to go out of the area, (usually over a toll bridge or two), to enjoy those restaurants.

[gbgoodies]

Are you a Mets fan, Gb?


Yes. I've been a Mets fan since I was 3 years old. I practically grew up at Shea Stadium, and I cried when they tore it down.

Take it from a guy who now has constant access to all those places. Your food is 100X better. Its funny how you want what isn't readily available. I can remember my sister-in-law driving into Nassau county all the time for Arby's when she was pregnant. Meanwhile they lived a block from Roy Rogers.

[seanc]

Yes. I've been a Mets fan since I was 3 years old. I practically grew up at Shea Stadium, and I cried when they tore it down.

I'm familiar with both Sonic and CiCi's from when I lived in Texas for a few years, and I love them both. I wish they would open them here.

No. Always been Yankees, Bills, and Knicks for me. I will go to the games though. Atlanta is nice because the stadiums are easy to get in and out of. Plus ticket prices are not bad, besides NFL which is bad everywhere. At least I can get tickets though.

Would you say the Giant and the Jets, and the Rangers and the Islanders have similar geographical boundaries?

The Giants and the Jets both play in New Jersey. The Rangers play in New York City. And the Islanders play on Long Island.

I don't follow football, but I think the Giants and the Jets both play in the same stadium, (The Meadowlands), but it's not actually in New York.

I know that baseball has some rules about how close the teams can be because a few years ago, the Yankees wanted to move one of their minor league teams into Nassau County (on Long Island), but they weren't able to move them there because the Mets had to approve the move because it was too close to Shea Stadium, (where the Mets played).

[gbgoodies]

Giants=Yankees

Yeah, that's pretty accurate. I've found that most Mets fans also root for the Islanders, the Jets, and the Knicks, and most Yankees fans usually root for the Rangers, the Giants, and the Nets.

Also, most Mets fans are usually pretty easy-going people, and most Yankees fans are usually not so easy-going. (Most, not all.)

That's a strange combination, but it's not unheard of.

I'm not even sure how I became a Mets fan. Neither of my parents were sports fans when I was young. My Mom said that she just walked in the room one day when I was about 3 years old, and I was watching a Mets game on TV. She doesn't know who actually picked that channel.

[R.P. McMurphy]

I knew a guy a few years back that was telling me how excited he was that he was going to propose to his girlfriend and how he was going to "do it up proper and take her to Olive Garden and pop the question there". I held my tongue.

[Sexy Celebrity]

People are just being snarky towards Olive Garden because it's cool. Miss Vicky and Honeykid are those kinds of people. Some trend happens where everyone agrees that something that's perfectly fine is actually HORRIBLE and they follow the bandwagon.

Olive Garden is definitely top 10 for me. I think I would take P.F. Changs at one right now.

[Swan]

Well well well, look who it is...

[Camo]

People are just being snarky towards Olive Garden because it's cool. Miss Vicky and Honeykid are those kinds of people. Some trend happens where everyone agrees that something that's perfectly fine is actually HORRIBLE and they follow the bandwagon.

HK hadn't even heard of it until last week ;). Never eat there myself but i certainly wouldn't dismiss it just because everyone else is.

[gbgoodies]

I've never had a bad Olive Garden experience. I've had a lifelong relationship with Olive Garden. It's not my favorite place for food, but it's always been a good place to go to.


We had a major problem with Olive Garden last year, but we complained to corporate and they sent us a nice gift card to convince us to go back there.

It was so bad that we asked the manager to switch our server, which he did, but the original server told the kitchen to cancel our order, and didn't tell anyone, so we waited over a half hour for our food before somebody figured out what caused the delay.

[R.P. McMurphy]

Well well well, look who it is...

...yes?

[Swan]

...yes?

You're R.P. McMurphy, right?

[R.P. McMurphy]

Depends who's asking

[Sexy Celebrity]

P.F. Changs didn't impress me, but I haven't been there many times. But I'm the type of person who's happy with a great big plastic container full of bourban chicken from the mall.

[Miss Vicky]

We have a Texas Roadhouse here. I ate there once and their steak sucked, though their bread was awesome. I've heard it's gotten better since then, but I've no desire to go back. Their idea of "atmosphere" - tacky taxidermy and the staff line dancing in the aisles - doesn't appeal to me either.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Anyone who complains about the steak but raves about the bread should not be taken seriously.

I don't really have steak there, but they have good shrimp and ribs. Of course the chili and mashed potatoes are great too.

Have you tried their bread? It really is great bread. :)

[seanc]

I love PF Changs lettuce wraps. Don't go there much though. Never been to Roadhouse, although I live very close to one.I don't eat steak out very often. I would rather get a nice cut and grill at home with steak.

[rauldc14]

I don't really think any steak from a chain place is great, except for Outback. They have great steak.

[Godoggo]

I knew a guy a few years back that was telling me how excited he was that he was going to propose to his girlfriend and how he was going to "do it up proper and take her to Olive Garden and pop the question there". I held my tongue.

Aww. That's sweet and sad.

I wouldn't want a marriage proposal in any restaurant. :nope:

I like Olive Garden ok, but prefer Carrabba's. If I want just the cheap pizza and eggplant Parmesan type Italian there is a local chain called Piesanos that's pretty good.

[Swan]

He should have proposed to her at Taco Bell.

[seanc]

Don't worry, I told Tim you are more of a name on the scoreboard kind of girl. :D

Why not? White Castle runs a special "by reservations only" night every year on Valentine's Day.

[Godoggo]

Don't worry, I told Tim you are more of a name on the scoreboard kind of girl. :D

Scoreboard? Like when we play Yahtzee?

I hope he's not proposing anything anytime soon. That would be fast. :eek:

[Sexy Celebrity]

The Taco Bell near me modernized themselves and I hate it. It's now dark and looks like a Chipotle or something. It used to feel like a bright 1990's vacuum.

As Camo said, how can I be one of those people when I'd never heard of it before? I didn't say it was terrible. I made no comment at all about it. I merely posted that I hadn't heard of it until this week and I doubted they'd like the way I did. Get that stick out of your arse.

Oh, I have Yahtzee and Farkle and Scategories and lots of games.

Alright, game night at Godoggos place. My bags are packed.

[Godoggo]

I miss board games. Though I still play cribbage from time to time.

I used to play all the time, but I lost my game players. It was my ex's friend's mom. She moved to Virginia. I don't know what 30 year olds do for fun, but apparently they don't like to play board games. My bestie Chip likes to play and Tim will to make me happy, but the only time we have a fourth is when Chip's niece is with us.

In my opinion, Benedict Cabbagepatch is a good actor, but is often miscast. Considering his unique face, I don't think he should really star in any biopics.

[rauldc14]

I like Stratego, Trivial Pursuit, and Blockus too.

[Godoggo]

JK, I love Yahtzee.

I've been told that I am both a grandma trapped in a young person's body and that I am a 14 year old boy trapped in a woman's body. That's very confusing.

[seanc]

Same problem here. I love card games: Spades, Euchre, Hearts, and others. All my card buddies are gone though. :(

[rauldc14]

I think you are 30.

[rauldc14]

Well clearly Texas Hold Em is the best game but it's hard to get my crew together at the same time these days.

You want to hear confusing? I've been told that I'm a weird combination of Adrian Monk from the TV show "Monk", and Oscar Madison from "The Odd Couple". :confused:

Never been big on Poker. I don't let myself gamble. I think it would be a problem for me.

I love Stratego. And Risk.

There are all these kids and go to the book store Friday night and play all sorts of games. I wish it wouldn't be so super creepy for me to play with them, but it would. Is there an online place where you can meet people to play board games with? Something like match.com but for game players instead of dates? Oh, the interesting people you would meet.

[rauldc14]

I gamble. Maybe once every other month. But I don't drink much or smoke so it doesn't ever combine itself into trouble.

Risk! We played that every weekend in high school. Those would be some long games, but damn are they fun. The only game I've played with you is that QuizUp game:p

Yeah, I can understand why people don't play Risk anymore once they get older. We would be up until 4 am playing.

I wasn't as good at Quiz Up as I thought I would be. I'm usually pretty good at trivia.

[Godoggo]

Yeah, I hate that. I meant more of a place where you could find each other and then meet in person.

Those online card games are frustrating. People just leave when they are losing.

I like the 'Batch, though I've not seen him in much. What did you think he was miscast in?

He does have unique features. He's almost sexy in Sherlock, though.

[seanc]

Cumberbatch has seemed over rated to me so far. I am still waiting for him to wow me.

[Swan]

I like the 'Batch, though I've not seen him in much. What did you think he was miscast in?

I don't really think he looks like Alan Turing or Stephen Hawking at all.

Also, although I liked him as Khan, I think it's weird they cast a British dude as Khan when originally he was Latino.

We even played The Lord of the Rings risk as well. Though I preferred original.

And of course, what is game night without some Candyland.

[Miss Vicky]

I thought he was quite good in August Osage County and 12 Years A Slave, but I've not seen any of his other movies. I've mostly seen him in Sherlock, which I think is one of the best TV programs ever.

[R.P. McMurphy]

I hate Taco Bell. Taco Johns is good though.

The only thing edible at Taco Johns is the potatoes ole. There is one directly across the street from my shop and I refuse to go there even when I'm starving.

[Miss Vicky]

I don't really think he looks like Alan Turing or Stephen Hawking at all.

But is there anybody who really looks like Stephen Hawking? Who would you cast?

[Swan]

Godoggo deleted a post!

[seanc]

Could be I don't care for Sherlock. I know I am in the minority on that one. I never think he is bad, just ordinary, like Sherlock.:)

[Swan]

I'm actually excited about The Theory of Everything and the actor playing Hawking looks pretty close.

Speaking of scientists, I think I'm becoming really sick of Sam Harris for some reason.

Not the idea that there's no free will -- which I still believe -- but Sam himself.

I just finished reading his new book, Waking Up, and ever since I did... I feel these feelings of annoyance with him.

I think it's kind of gross - the avatar. Not really in a way that's "ewww, blood! sickening!" gross -- it's just gross as a Drew avatar. It'd be like Honeykid using an avatar of Drew dead and hanging from the tree in Scream. Why even bother with that?

1. High Fidelity (2000; Stephen Frears)
2. Snatch. (2000; Guy Ritchie)

4. Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV (2000; Lloyd Kaufman)

9. Small Time Crooks (2000; Woody Allen)
10. Best in Show (2000; Christopher Guest)

Chicken Run.

And when you finish, you'll need to add it to your animation ballot.

Snatch is great and you definitely need to see Chicken Run. I highly, highly recommend Best in Show. It may not be as funny if you don't know the dog show world, but I laughed so hard. I'm not much on comedies either.

[Miss Vicky]

The only movies I've seen on that list besides Chicken Run are Best In Show, Snatch and Meet the Parents. I didn't care at all for Snatch or Meet the Parents. Best in Show is good, but it's not my favorite of Guest's films. I prefer A Mighty Wind.

Chicken Run is the movie that put an end to the anti-animation phase of my teenage years.

No, that started because people started posting ridiculous reviews of it on Amazon and it became popular after that.

The fact that Dwight wore it just makes it that much cooler.

I used to have that wolves t-shirt. No longer do, unfortunately. But I bought it without knowing it was a phenomenon. Which makes me feel silly. I just thought it was a cool shirt. Then I noticed it was everywhere and I realized I had bought a shirt people made fun of.
