But once my pants are on, I make Gold Records.

I post alot...

I haven't had the pleasure or displeasure of sitting through an episode of Saturday Night Live since Phil Hartman was found dead.

I'm not protesting, I just lost interest when Phil was gone. Kinda like how I stopped watching South Park after Mary Kay Bergman killed herself.Dana Carvy got really ill, Phil Hartman was fatally stabbed, Chris Farley pulls a Belushi...the show lost a lot of its cast. Never a big fan of Farley, but still!

I guess I miss the days of the show being hosted by Wayne Gretzky and Paul Simon. I miss Tom Hanks and Steve Martin showing up form time to time. I miss John Lovitz and Dennis Miller!

When I was in college, many of the students recited lines from SNL of the current period. I had no idea who the in hell Mary Catherine Gallaghar was...and certianly wasn't impressed when everyone around me was imitating her. I didn't care that Katan was a local (Bainbridge Island I believe) and Will Farrell was becoming the next Jim Carey...One trick pony on his way to bigger and better things.I had refused to watch an SNL movie since Coneheads and Waynes World. I thought that they were going a little too far with the 5 minute sketches turning into full length feature films. Although I enjoyed Wayne's World and COneheads, I knew that these movies were a once in a lifetime lucky break. I did see Night at the Roxbury...I was amused..but began to get snnoyed with people passing by college house screaming "Emilio! Emilio!"

At one point, I remember flat out refusing to see anything with Will Ferral in it. A very snobby approach to films, I know...but I just didn't think he was funny unless he was a Sparten or hosting Celebrity Jepordy. I wouldn't watch Elf or a movie about NASCAR (a paradoy, I know...but I hate NASCAR so much!) or any other one of his movies that the theater kids were adoringly quoting in the middle of class every single day.That's something I will never understand...the theater department I poorly chose was very picky and snobby about plays and visual art and politics...but damn near all the "rising stars" there did cocain and thought Will Ferral was a genius. It always bugged me. I was teased for liking anime, but these assholes went on for pages about how AMAZING and soul-touching Lost In Translation was...even though they could only remember half of the damn movie after drinking thier weight in corona.

*sigh*

But I took a chance one day while kicking around Netflix...I decided to rent Stranger Than Fiction even though it had Will Ferral in it. Pretty neat looking cast, interesting concept, and not very long. I thought it looked like a movie with "Truman Show" moment that Jim Carey had.Oh yeah. Color me impressed. I loved it! I know lots of folks who did not like the movie, but I really enjoyed it. I was really impressed with Ferral, I adored the concept, and I loved the story. A very sweet (kinda dark) film.So because of that movie, I will give Will Ferral a shot. Hey, I let Ritsuko show me "Blades of Glory"..and that took an act of God since I LOATHED Napolean Dynamite...and I ended up enjoying that one too. Not as much as "Fiction", but it made me laugh.

I mentioned Netflix earlier in the post.I have 30+ reviews wrtten on Netflix. If anyone is interested in reading them, my user name is (big surprise) Sailor Tweek.I reviewed all of Buffy, some animated movies, some movies I hated, and some that I felt needed defending. My proudest review is of Kevin Smith's "Dogma". I love that movie and I will defend it til the end of the world. I can appreciate not liking the movie, but there are some many jerkdorfs out there who complained about silly things like swearing and crass humor. It's a movie with JAY AND SILENT BOB IN IT! Simple rule: if you don't like swearing and the dick-and-fart jokes, then don't watch anything with Jay Mewes in it! And certainly don't sit down to watch a rated R film expecting a sensibly calm experience!

Sorry, I began to rant...I need to pull it back a bit. I'm trying to keep my livejournal habits on livejournal. *LOL*I'll certainly swear a lot less on this journal.Typos and horrific lack of spelling and grammar skills will still run rampid...

Which actually reminds me. There are some livejournal entries I plan on reposting here. Some of my old ramblings about school are kinda amusing and I have some great social commentary posts that I'd like to share as well.Someday I'll do that...after updating photos and revamping my ACP and Cosspace profiles and finishing the Axel wig and constructing Jet Black's costume and....Yikes...I have a chore list.
