 | | Domdaniel: ... which shot out *Cathar Rays* when it went off. Being of Merovingian scent, Le Cap had to subsist entirely on Holy Gruel ... I saw it on TV. |

| | Domdaniel: <Jess> Do you think anyone ever touched the hem of Hem's garment and said "a hem!"? |
|
Mar-07-08
 | | jessicafischerqueen: heh..
<hem>
not sure, but in Alan Rudolph's film <The Moderns>, Hem turns to a woman sitting next to him at the bar and says "madam, you appear to have your hand on my fly rod."
hem was an avid "fisherman," as you know. |

| | Domdaniel: Heh. Hem. The Old Man sure knew how to reel 'em in, eh? Thalassa, an' all, lass, aye. Lassoo Lassie! String 'em up! Er ... oops. Alan Rudolph! Brilliant ... Mrs Parker and the Vicious Circle ... Rain City, Trouble in Mind ... Divine ... Kris Kringletofferson as <The Missing Limp>. Great movie. Great director. As you know. Spare the rod and spoil the ... ohhh no, no ... rods featured here during the <notorious dirty limerick fly-fishing contest> and we can't have *that* again. S. Queaky Kleen, esq. |

| | Domdaniel: <suggested soundtrack> I'll Go No More a-Merovingian.
Bling When You're Merovingian. |
|
Mar-07-08
| | jessicafischerqueen: France- The Dark Ages...
<Pepin the Short> has just brought in his skivvies off the line, hasn't he? No time for laundry!
There's a new empire at stake...
It's a Man's Life in the <Carolingian Dynasty to come>... |
|
Mar-07-08
| | jessicafischerqueen: You may be pleased to know that I actually directed <Trouble in Mind> featuring the vastly underrated <Keith Carridine>.. Bloody <Alan Rudolph> premiered HIS version while mine was still at the chemist's... |
|
Mar-07-08
| | Domdaniel: <Jess> I've heard they have some new digital chip technology that actually *bypasses the chemist entirely*. My pharmacist was in tears last time we spoke, distraught over the impending fate of the wife and kids ... he'd have to start *selling drugs*, he said, if things got any worse. So screw him, as Hunter S woulda said. He's only a chemist. A real man sells children to support drugs, not the other way round. Point is, *you* can use this digicam stuff to whip up a sequel to The Moderns: <The Post-Moderns: yo, I'm no pomo ho>. Rudolph is a slave to Santa anyhow... |
|
Mar-07-08
| | jessicafischerqueen: NO time for that, <Dominus>... I'm too busy letting others do all the work for me.
For example, I've just started watching <France! Ford Coppola's> first ever film <Dementia 13> on "free internet streaming video with perfect sound and image quality all for free thanks to outright piracy etc. etc." VERY INTERESTING SO FAR..
(don't tell me what happens!!)
Early impression-- I think <David Lynch> had to have been heavily influenced by this film... I'm going to make a <Batchimeg at the Movies> about this one. It's demented.
Oddly enough. |

| | Domdaniel: Oh, the wonder of science. The awesome power of the Experimental Method ... <"In collaboration with the psychologists Lila Gleitman and Randy Gallistel, the threesome turned Americans into Mayans by simple expedients like ... gluing a duck pond to one end of the table."> - Steven Pinker, The Stuff of Thought
I gotta repeat this experiment with the Frogspawn pond. Could somebody lend me some Americans, please? I'll change them back afterwards, probably... |
|
Mar-07-08
| | jessicafischerqueen: intriguing... Mayans ARE Americans, of course...
There's no Vespuccing that fact...
I wonder how you'd glue <Frog's Pawned> to the end of a table? Whose table?
I think <Eyal> has a priceless Mesopotamian antique table, but I may have broken it last year... |
|
Mar-07-08
| | Domdaniel: <Jess> Haven't actually seen Dementia. But didn't France's 'Our Ford' Coppola then go on to make the *incroyable* Finian's Rainbow, with Tommy Steel as a leprechaun and Fred Astaire as Mr Paddy A Whackery? That's pretty demential. The very essence of Erse. |
|
Mar-07-08
| | jessicafischerqueen: heh and of course the fine <Ersenic and Old Lace> with <Sir Smart Alec>... Well the British (and not so British and not at all British) Isles (and colonies) have certainly produced some fine films... Poor Sweeny caught naked up a tree, "halfway between Heaven and Hell." God Bless <Brien O'Nuallain> and all who sail in him. Why has no one tried to turn one of his novels into a film? I think they would make for "novel" cinema...
I think the <Third Policeman> is racy enough for people with short attention spans. Let's run it up the flagpole and see if the money salutes. |
|
Mar-07-08
| | Domdaniel: <Jess> Heh. You wrote: <Whose table? I think <Eyal> has a priceless Mesopotamian antique table, but I may have broken it last year...> The *missing limp* here, of course, is the phrase <The Cappin's Table> which (a) I sorta used yesterday I think, and (b) you skipped over in your word association (she shoots, she scores!) haste. Haste, paste. Cut'n'paste. Bondage: the paste that passeth understanding... Uh, I gotta stop. I don't know who's writing the script anymore. I might end up a vegetable. Or up-end a veggie table.

Mar-07-08
| | Domdaniel: I could be imagining this, but I think somebody very unexpected -- Austrian? Australian? Whatever -- made a stab at a film version of At Swim-Two-Birds ... I *missed* it at a film festival once, possibly its only screening ever. - Is it about a bicycle?
|
|
Mar-07-08
| | jessicafischerqueen: Well I'd give anything to see any try at at at Swim... Was it <Sigmund Shepisi>? <Klaus Maria Weir>? <Adolf Wombat>?
<is it about a bicycle>... heh
The scene I'd like to see filmed is my favorite line from <3d Policeman>: "I hit him with the shovel until my arms grew tired." (I think I've typed that four times at CG.com now).
Well I'm a horror movie fan.
SHOOT ME!!

|
Mar-07-08
| | jessicafischerqueen: Are you planning to see <Stop Love> make his miracle charge into a shared first prize at the coveted and prestigious <Lean Fairies> tournament tonight? |
|
Mar-07-08
| | jessicafischerqueen: Well I finished up <Dementia 13>. full marks for unmitigated wierdness...
It's kind of like
Well actually it's not kind of like anything.
<Coppola> a talented film maker with original ideas. Who knew?
Well, everyone now I guess.
Never mind then!! |
|
Mar-07-08
| | jessicafischerqueen: Actually you know I think his most "original" film is another very early effort with <James Caan> playing a <brain damaged> OR <sociopathic> troubled young man--- "The Rain People." Very fine film. It makes a big difference to the film's meaning which of these conditions he has-- Ah the 60s....
I remember seeing <Jimmy Caan> often over at <Hef's Mansion>. I was one of the <Playboy Bunnies>, of course. Though I didn't go by <Jessica Rabbit>-- too anachronistic for a <nom de broom> at that time, of course... I think I might have called myself <Queen of the twatting May>, but it's all a bit hazy now. |
|
Mar-07-08
| | Domdaniel: <Lean Fairies> Heh. So that's why poor old Svid had to make do with Bunratty ... Hmmm. Hef, Hof & Hem ... what is it with these guys and their aspirated monosyllabic monikers? Huh? |
|
Mar-07-08
| | jessicafischerqueen: Heh.... |
|
Mar-07-08
| | Domdaniel: I got a new digital chess clock to practice one-handed blitz, but it's doom alone that counts. Don't forget what Dylan sang about cute kid movies and the profit motive: "Macauley Culkin's loathsome but it's Home Alone that counts..." |
|
Mar-07-08
| | jessicafischerqueen: Well we all know how many different ways <Bob> sang that song over the years. I believe the most appalling version was the one he delivered at a Command Performance in front of the <Bloody Queen of England>, which featured the rather neutered line "I offered up my fifty pence, I got repaid with scones." Many believe this was a low point in <Bob's> career.. |
|
Mar-07-08
| | jessicafischerqueen: So you listen to <Dylan> full blast in your headphones while you watch chess? I watched an entire game once listening to <Oliver's Army> over and over again for six hours and I still can't get the tune out of my head. Beware conditioning!
And conditioners, for that matter.
Many of them are riddled with <Princess Di-Phosphates> |
|
| Mar-07-08 | | achieve: If I may...
<Jess>... Dom doesn't *listen* to music, that much I have learnt. HOWEVER
He does perceive "sound", I believe, but maybe I'm reaching... Princess Dye, phosphates, Die, Di... HEH |
