quote o’ the day: Lily Tomlin IS signs of intelligent life

Posted on by

Lily! Fucking! Tomlin!She single-handedly justifies the existence of Hollywood and most of the Western Hemisphere with this quote from the Miami New Times, via Defamer. I defy you not to agree that Lily Tomlin‘s words apply to your situation, right now:

“Adults have fights and go through stuff,” Tomlin said Tuesday. “I know some people are more dignified in the world, that if you transgress against that kind of professionalism, that it’s some kind of great sin, but I don’t see it that way.”

She called the episode “in a way liberating… now it’s all over, and so what, and I don’t have to keep up some great pretention I’m the most dignified, eloquent, elegant, perfect, smart-thinking, kind, generous person. I’m just a plain old human with a whole bunch of flaws.””

And a whole bunch of fans, lady.

Lilyfanz!

300: the secret to blockbuster success

Posted on by

It’s really very simple. I’ve met a number of straight men who are mystified that women would ever want to watch such a militaristic bloodbath of a movie, even suggest it for a date movie, but they’re missing a key ingredient for proper appreciation of everything this cinematic comic book has to offer:

Estrogen.

stolen from Defamer, who also have a marvelous little Cute Overload meets 300 mashup.

Brit quits

Britney is a quitter, but not of everything

A few days short of the standard rehab dosage of 28, Britney Spears is once more unleashed and roaming the streets of SoCal. Lock up your Persis Khambatta fanboys! The paparazzi are reportedly respecting her request for privacy and taking refuge in umbrella-proof armoured Humvees for self-defence.

“Britney Spears has been released by the Promises Malibu Treatment Center after successfully completing their program. We ask that the media respects her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time.”

300, the game! Spartans vs Persians, old-skool!

300

So the movie 300 is a jingoistic, bombastic, cartoonish, homoerotic two-hour military recruiting video. I mean, they say that as if it’s bad!

Some demented and nostalgic genius has taken this simpleminded movie and given it perhaps the ultimate Generation X accolade; he’s made a Nintendo Entertainment System game out of it.

The reviewers should have just watched this instead of wasting ten bucks and two hours of their time. As for me, I could watch and watch…pot, Pearl Jam, and Doritos optional.
