Stealing Scenes From a Movie
Deleted scenes are okay, sometimes. But, M. Night and Tarantino act all gradiose about theirs, and then there isn't much there. Well, the 2nd "Bad Boys," took it's name from that song on the show Cops (bad boys, bad boys/whatcha gonna do). So many films (that aren't even remakes) have used the same titles, which always amazes me. It also surprises me when movie titles are lame. Nicolas Cage/Bridget Fonda/Rosie Perez did a movie about him not tipping a waitress, and then splitting his lottery ticket with her. The title was originally a newspaper headline "Cop Tips Waitress 10 Million". Great title, right? Well, the studio got nervous and didn't trust themselves, and changed it to "It Can Happen to You." How lame is that? That's a title nobody will even remember in another couple of years.— October 15, 2007 12:49 a.m.
Being Bearded Bites
I only look like Freddie Mercury if it's Halloween...and I'm wearing a Superman costume! I wish I had Mercurys voice. That cat could sing. I probably do, in the voice department, sound more like Ringo, unfortunately.— October 12, 2007 9:55 a.m.
Being Bearded Bites
For future ref. don't tell a guy he looks like Ringo. Paul, yes. Ringo, no. It's probably the equivalent of telling a woman she looks like Roseanne.— October 12, 2007 2:06 a.m.
Adrenaline Junkies (full of hot air)
Roller Coasters rule. Because, if they're really scarey, fast, and high...you get the feeling of being scared, when in reality, you have nothing to worry about. The chances of them crashing are...I dunno....1 in a thousand. Of course, Six Flags somewhere, a few days ago, had to rescue people that got stuck on the loop. Upside down, I believe. When they got the coaster working again, it threw them at an abrupt stop, and they got smashed up a bit. So....well, maybe they aren't so safe. Strike everything I just said!— October 12, 2007 2:04 a.m.
Being Bearded Bites
Well, there's a photo of me with Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan, in the music feature from last week. The beard was only a week and a half old then, though. Otherwise, the beard would've possessed me to jump onstage with Purple, and howl while they sang Hush. And probably take a guitar and solo! I'll see if I can figure out how to throw one on here.— October 10, 2007 11:56 p.m.
Being Bearded Bites
Well, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes was filmed in San Diego. The beard horror story, could be the next "great" horror film. Hey, towelheaded....I've heard "your people" complain about always being portrayed as terrorist in films. Well, us "bearded folk," are often appearing as homeless guys, or seriel killers, in movies. We should all protest together! Beard and all!!!— October 10, 2007 10:49 a.m.
Josh Beard, Part II
My "aha moment" happened when I was watching VH1 do a special on the best videos from the 80s.— October 9, 2007 9:40 p.m.
Give me a Face with Hair.
I wonder if any Motorcycle Mama's (as they were called back in the day), have ever said to their man "You know, I love your bike. And I love you. But, this handlebar mustache that goes down to the gas tank...it's gotta go."— October 9, 2007 10:30 a.m.
Give me a Face with Hair.
Awoooooooooooh, werewolves of London! I love singing that. And typing it, too. Well, for every 10 women that like a smooth face, there is one that likes the beard. Problem is, the women that like facial hair, aren't usually the women I like! They're women riding Harleys, with tattoos that say "Mama Hated Me." I figure I'll keep the beard until Halloween, and see if it can work into costume I might wanna do, then it hits the cutting room floor.— October 8, 2007 5:20 p.m.
Don't Taser Me, Bro!
Wow, I completely forgot about them! I dunno if giving cops those would be a good idea. They'll be joking around the office, shooting each other and laughing about it. And, don't forget, you get some drunk dude that's arguing with a cop, and he sees the cop go for the dart gun/tube/thing, and just like in that Bugs Bunny episode...he blows the other end, and sends the dart down the coppers throat!!!— October 6, 2007 9:53 a.m.
