I was thinking of watching it tonight. I know at least one SAG voter who's voting for it for Best Picture, and thinks it's better than Schindler's List. It can't be THAT good, can it?
 
It's about the Holocaust? I thought it was about a fucking piano? How do you name a holocaust movie "The Pianist"? Was "Shoah" called "The Hair Stylist"?

Man. I hope "Gilmore Girls" has a new episode tonight.
 
All I know is that - that actor dude (don't know his name)...

did you see him squirming at the Globes the other night?

He's freakin' creepy.

He'll have a healthy career.
 
Missed that. However, now that you mention me showing off and the Golden Globes all in one thread, a buddy of mine won big time. Woo-hoo. The asshole will probably bring the Globe thing over on poker night. I plan to use it to smoosh down the sandwiches.

Take a pic of that and use it as an AV. lol
 
Hannsy, my bitch!

There you are! Bad girl! *Grabs "her" by the ear* Now bend your scabbed out ass over, its rasping time!
 
I play an alien on next week's "Enterprise". They wanted something really scary, so they dressed me as a rubber latex Michael Jackson.

You know Tony Shalhoub?
 
No guessing now. LOL Let's just say I know some people, including a guy who suckled Ginny Mancini's inverted nipples.
 
It wasn't all that bad a movie...but I don't think I'd be in a hurry to watch it again. Just didn't pull me in.

Although, you do get to see Harvey Keitel's penis...

It bothers me that anyone in the SAG guild would vote for a Polanski film.

I don't give a shit if it is the best movie of the year. I'll see it after it comes to video or whatever, and will proclaim it a great movie if it is, but I can't support anyone giving Polanski awards.
 
lacking a witty reply..........

very worthy..........better than Schindler's List?.........well, for someone who has no real connection to the holocaust, it brought to me a bit of the horror...........and to realise that Polanski survived that time as a child........and witnessed members of his family taken away...........yea, very much worth seeing...........the images will stay with you..............

That's silly. How about if we don't vote for people who've used drugs? Or have been in prison for robbery? Or who named names to the House UnAmerican Activities Committee? Or committed adultery? Should we make a list of moral behavior artists must uphold before we give them awards for artistic merit?

Other than using drugs, how many of these activities are crimes?
 
DCL, you missed the screening

A pianist was hired to play background music for a movie. When it was completed he asked when and where he could see the picture. The producer sheepishly confessed that it was actually a porno film and it was due out in a month.

A month later, the musician went to a porno theater to see it. With his collar up and dark glasses on, he took a seat in the back row, next to a couple who also seemed to be in disguise.

The movie was even raunchier than he had feared, featuring group sex, S/M and even a dog. After a while, the embarrassed pianist turned to the couple and said, "I'm only her to listen to the music."

"Yeah?" replied the man. "Were only here to see our dog."
 
And in case you decided not to see the movie

and you heard that one before, here are a couple more after which I'll end my mini hijack.




There's this guy, he runs a nightclub, he needs a pianist to tinkle the ivories during the dinner shift. He finally finds a someone, and on this guys first night he comes in, and plays a beautiful composition. The manager comes up to him and says "That was beautiful, what do you call it?" The pianist replies "its called I love you so much I could shit." The manager says, "uh... OK, play another."

The pianist plays another beautiful piece, and the manager again asks what it was called. "That one's called muscle of love baby." says the pianist, who then takes a bathroom break. When he comes out, he's forgotten to close his zipper. The manager walks up and says "do you know your fly is open and your penis is hanging out?" The pianist grins and says "know it, I wrote it!!"

This man walks into a bar with an old shopping bag in hand. He sets the bag on top of the bar and pulls up his stool. The bartender comes over and asks what he'll have to swill. As he states his preference, something in the bag is moving around shaking the paper bag. The bartender gives a puzzled look but proceeds to the tap. As he's filling the mug, he looks at the bag again and sees that something is still moving around in the bag. He brings the beer over and places it in front of the man.

His curiosity gets the best of him and he asks the man what he's got in the bag. The man reaches into the bag and pulls out a little piano and sets it on the bar... the bartender looks intently at the piano as the man again reaches into the bag... pulling out a small piano bench. He places the bench in front of the piano and again reaches into the bag pulling out a foot tall man. The man sits at the piano and begins playing.

The bartender says,"wow, he sure can play the piano, where'd you get him?" The guy looks at him and again reaches into the bag and pulls out a genie lamp. He hands it to the bartender and says, "Here, go ahead, rub it.." So the bartender says, "Is there a real genie in there?" and the guy says, "Yes, just rub it and see."

So the bartender says okay and begins to rub the lamp... and out pops this beautiful genie. She says, "I will grant you one wish, and one wish only." So the bartender ponders this for a moment and says, "Okay, I'd like a million bucks." The genie disappears.. and they're both waiting and waiting and nothing happens. They both look at each other and shrug their shoulders. Then a minute later a duck pops up at the end of the bar. They both look at each other, very puzzled, and then another duck appears... and another, and another.. and it continues. The bartender looks at the guy and says, "I think your genie is deaf. I said I wanted a million bucks not a million ducks." And the man says, "Yes, I know, do you think I wanted a twelve inch pianist?"

A trio of elderly ladies was to play at their lodge one evening when their usual piano accompanist called in sick. The lodge manager said 'no problem, he'd arrange for one from the yellow pages.

That evening, the trio & manager were waiting by the stage when a very gorgeous lady appeared at the entrance. "Who is that? One of the elders asked - not our accompanist?"

"That's the word - accompanist!", the manager cursed out loud, "not escort!"
