Yo Mama!

Dave just called to tell me this joke… One day little Johnny heard a noise and peeked into his parents room to check it out. He opened the door to see his mom bent over the dresser and dad going at it, behind her. Johnny’s dad saw him and gave him a little wink as Johnny closed the door. After business was finished, Dad went to check on little Johnny. He opened his bedroom door to...

Hate to quote Huckabee, but ...
If we end up with the (tax) rebates, we’re going to borrow the $150 billion from China. And when we turn it into rebates, most people are going to go out and buy some consumables like a pair of shoes that they probably don’t even need, but they’re going to buy them, and they’re most likely an import from China. My point is, whose economy are we stimulating when we do that? -Mike HuckabeeMy...

Lukas: “I think every house should be average, and not over-average like Drew’s, which is huge.” Aidan: “But Drew is special.” Drew: “I’m the fire station, so I have to have room for four people.” Lukas: “I think that houses should only be as big as 16 bumps one way, and 16 bumps the other way. That would be fair.”...
Natalie Portman Won't Marry You. →
Portman declared that while she believes in monogamy, she doesn’t believe in the legal aspect of marriage — legal being the operative word. “Why are they making rules that say my lover can stay in the United States if they’re foreign or share my health care benefits because I’m straight — but if you’re gay, you can’t have that?” (All the top celebrity gossip.)She totally made up for her acting job...

In celebration of the release of “Be Kind, Rewind” a bunch of filmmakers in Austin have been making sweded movies. Here’s one of my favorites, it’s Back to the Future 1, 2, and 3 all in 5 minutes.
I like Doc “Pimp” Brown much better. This is way awesome. I like how #2 is the shortest of them all haha.

I’m sure a bunch of college kids are devastated this morning after the realization that well-articulated non-specific messages of change weren’t enough to somehow put away the the candidate who is the living embodiment of The Establishment. “But I voted,” you can hear them wail. Me? I’m pretty sanguine. It’s going to be a long slog to the nomination, and the reservations I’ve had thus...
John Green gets lucky.
alexbalk:
“Looking For Alaska” by John Green is a book causing controversy at Depew High School. It’s described, by some, as a coming of age novel with sexually explicit content. One passage depicting teenagers watching a pornographic movie reads, “…She kept saying, ‘Give it to me.’, and moaning”. It’s language and us of the “F” word has some parents like Gabriel Miller outraged. She is concerned...

KEVIN SMITH:
Sir,
We met very briefly, about a year and a half ago, as I was leaving a meeting with Harvey Weinstein and you were entering a meeting with Harvey Weinstein. I don’t expect you to remember it, but I practically blew you over your “I throw your head at you. Fuck you!” moment in “The 40 Year Old Virgin”.
Anyway, I’m a fan, and that day, I started thinking about writing a script for you. But laze (and “Clerks II” promotional duties) got the best of me, so I never got around to writing it.
Until two weeks ago.
I know you’re probably buried in “Knocked Up” and “Super Bad” stuff at the moment, but if you’ve got an hour or two, I’d love you to read it. We’re not gonna be shooting ’til Jan/Feb ‘08, so there’s no immediate rush, I guess. I also know (or at least suspect) that you generate your own material, so I realize I’m doing you no favors, as you’re probably not hurting for work at the moment. Still, I’d love you to read it and, ultimately, be in it, so maybe we can hook up sooner or later.
SETH ROGEN:
Dude,
This may sound like bullshit, but when I first moved to LA, I went out to meet with agencies, and one of them asked me what my goals were. I said “to be in a kevin smith movie.” That goal has not changed. I would be honored to read anything you wrote, and am truly flattered and amazed that you sent me this e-mail. I wouldn’t be a writer if it wasn’t for you and your movies. Its as simple as that. Thank you so much.
