i've got my doubts you can't see the forest for the fucking great big forest shaped thing

tonight i spent about three hours trying to remember which movie phil collins' "against all odds" was from.

*sigh*
at least it wasn't "arthur's theme" (yep, right about now i'm rating phil collins above bacharach. stranger than goddam fiction).

Don't strain too hard.

While you're on the interweb, Instead of whinging, why not check what google has to say?

Funnily enough, "Against All Odds" was the theme to the movie called "Against All Odds"

[capnjimbo]

i eventually did end up looking it up on the internet to get that goddamn song out of my head (now i have the theme from the odd couple going on, which happens about twice a day. greatest. theme. ever.), and was a little pissed off with myself about missing the blatantly fucking obvious.

whinging puts the super in information superhighway. can't really have one without the other. erm, cos then you'd just have an information highway. and, um, those things aren't as super. or something.

I can't believe you thought about phil collins for three hours. Thats kind of disturbing.

when i was thinking about phil collins, i was thinking about him being hit in the nuts with a football by a three year old. that's not disturbing, it's funny, and i don't mind that i'll never get that time back until i invent a time machine last thursday dear god that joke's fucked.

oh, and there's a guy on imdb(search for blue blazes) being shitty that dick knew better than to try and explain how the future-seeing thing worked in his story. that and the fact that ben affleck's a bit crap.

hey, that thing with the football happened to me once and although there were tears involved they were not tears of joy/laughter from the copius amounts of fun. of course if i was phill collins i could probably laugh at myself through the pain. next time i'm phill remind me to try that.

another day in paradise _this_ motherfucker

next time you're phil collins, be a dear and sell yourself to a circus under the pseudonym "phil, the groin directed football withstanding marvel". humankind's happy because you won't be able to reproduce and, hey, phil collins with a football in the nuts. you get to become a carney and start conversations with "so last night i was hanging out with my best friends snake boy and the bearded lady...". it's a win-win situation.

Meep. Remember when Brandy and a load of other hiphop niggaz did a covers tribute to Phil Collins a few years back? That was mad. Brandy was all "...but how come you guys in the UK don't get that he's rilly rilly cool?" and I was all "woooah" when they released 'Another Day In Paradise'. I hate Phil Collins. He reminds me of a deadbeat dad. He appeared on Top Of The Pops with a can of paint on his keyboard coz his wife left him for their Painter & Decorator. That is seven shades of wrong.
Can I add you? Your shirt rocked my world. Dedication to the cause dude.

[capnjimbo]

heya.
fuck. i take way too long to reply to stuff. um, sorry.

i vaguely recall the brandy thing, but wasn't aware it was part of an entire tribute album. fucking hell. had a look at it and thought "man, ol' dirty bastard doing sussudio, that'll be fucking hilarious". except it turns out that it's funnier in theory than execution (wait, odb wasn't executed, he died of an accidental overdose. *rimshot*. ahem).
in all fairness, the postal service do a version of against all odds that's totally fucking awesome. but i think it's more a case of triumph over adversity than anything.

you seem to be from scotland, which is one of the coolest countries ever. which is a good enough reason to be friends in my view.

oh, and the phrase "one young lady's gentle glide into hermitry" is genius, by the way.
