Oh, my liver...

So, yesterday ended the 6 day drunk-a-thon that was the Backseat Film Festival. Having its Philadelphia premiere was the brilliant animated short "A Pizza for Sprinkles." Yeah, I know it's 3 years old now, but what the hell...it's new to Philly. The fest was a lot of fun, but I'm looking forward to a few mellow days catching up with sleep and ( Read more... )

Where's the Coop?
In sworn testimony and interviews, they recount incidents in which an allegedly drunken Kinkade heckled illusionists Siegfried & Roy in Las Vegas, cursed a former employee's wife who came to his aid when he fell off a barstool, and palmed a startled woman's breasts at a signing party in South Bend, Ind.

And then there is Kinkade's proclivity for "ritual territory marking," as he called it, which allegedly manifested itself in the late 1990s outside the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim.

"This one's for you, Walt," the artist quipped late one night as he urinated on a Winnie the Pooh figure, said Terry Sheppard, a former vice president for Kinkade's company, in an interview.

How'd the cartoon go over? Have fun at the Pogues... I didn't know they were touring.

HAHAHAHA!!! hellakitty23 March 7 2006, 20:01:44 UTC

Holy Hell...who knew Kinkade was the type?
His paintings still suck ass though....

The cartoon went over well. There were maybe 15 people watching it (including Backseat employees...hey, it had to compete with the Oscars...) And there were audible chuckles. And complements. When asked if I've made anymore cartoons, I said "hopefully someday..." :)

And the Pogues are only playing a few East Coast dates. Ha!

We'll go blows over Crash sister. Fucking unintentionally brilliant movie. The only thing I didn't like was dude's whole Oscar night thing about how the movie "advances human rights" or some such shit. The first 30 minutes into the movie when it looked like it was directed at doing that very thing, I almost gave up on it. The last hour and a half or so when it did anything but, is what I fell in deep, mad, passionate interracial homoerotic love with (twice if I recall correctly). But seriously, don't talk the trash about crash and I won't give you a wedgie, deal?

More like very intentionally trying to be brilliant.... zumusikgirl March 8 2006, 17:14:48 UTC

...but if you loved it, I'm not going to win any argument with you over its contrivance, acting-class calibre characterization, etc... Did you see Brokeback? By no means my über-fave movie....but (in my humble opinion ;P) much more deserving....

Yeah, I'd like to see you give a wedgie from 200 miles away...

Don't get me wrong, I had plenty of gripes. Had the movie adhered to the conventions it established early on I would have treated it as so much dirty poo. Like I said, right off the bat I was rolling my eyes and saying exactly the same things you are here. And though the characterization really never got that much better, the writers seemed to have the attention span of goldfish swimming in bongwater and totally forgot they were writing some important "message movie" and ended up with a film that had no moral to speak of, no tidy message, no answered questions, no logic or reason behind who ended up where, and in that way was a whole lot more like the way the world really works than the "Clash of the Charicatures" they set out to make. That's really what struck me the most. But like I said, if the creators are going to be pretentious enough to act like that was all by design, they can suck my butt because I know better ( ... )
