“As a result, viewings of Midnight in Paris on the big screen became events in the Smug Olympics of the urban iPad class, with audiences risking physical injury as they competed to laugh the loudest to demonstrate to all around that yes, they know who Gertrude Stein is. It was laughter directed at the audience itself, not at the screen. Laughing to show you get the joke. Or since there are no jokes, laughing to show you get the reference.”
Hooooboy it is so true!
I am working hard on being happy on my own, but my love life makes me so fucking miserable.
D’awwwwwwww this is a bit of a read, but it’s really sweet. Good for them!
I am not sold on their story
Discovered one of my old notebooks today while cleaning. To provide context, my old roommate Andy was variously referred to as Don Scampi aka Don Scamparino aka Don Scampadelli the Big Mack aka The Filipino Nosferatu aka The Scamp along with a host of other names. He was dressed as a skeleton for halloween, though I don’t remember any further context for Bone Dancin’ 2. The Manolha Dargis quote MUST be in reference to something, because it’s presence is way too hilariously strange to be solely from my imagination. Sometimes, I create some glorious gems.
AND because I didn’t realize the other picture was upside down and don’t care to fix it, it reads “Does A Skeleton Insatiably Crave The Flesh of White Infants? Tonight on 20/20!” I have no idea why it’s a singular skeleton that is slaying the infants, but, not knowing my original reasoning, a singular skeleton as the bane of all white infants is much funnier than just skeletons in general.
