Slow News Day

Charlton: are her friends hot?

2:17 PM Clint: no

2:18 PM strictly brooklyn caliber

they think its déclassé for a girl to wear nice jewelry and makeup cause of the recession

Charlton: yea

Clint: thats bullshit

Apartment Therapy

1:20 PM Nigel: got major plans for the weekend?

1:21 PM Blake: Rachel's best homegirl bff from Chile is coming for a few weeks sometime between the hours of 1am and 8am tonight. theres that. minor plans otherwise

some music, some basketball watching

its actually raining right now

1:22 PM you?

1:24 PM Nigel: my main priority is getting rest

i'm starting to look like sweeney todd

i'm cutting a dudes film for money on sunday

thats it

whiskey or cabernet tonight fa sho

1:25 PM Blake: yea word

1:26 PM last night i was sippin on martini's with gorganzola stuffed black olives

1:27 PM Nigel: oh nice

a lounge?

1:28 PM Blake: yea in Oaklnad

downton

really classy place

not cheap

1:29 PM its like im frontin when i do that, bc I go home hungry and eat refrigerated Hebrew Nationals in my ripped upp jeans, crying over the rabbit ears on my 13" TV

1:31 PM Nigel: ha ha

1:32 PM i wonder when its going to get to the point where i'm actually embarassed to take girls back to my shitty, ikea-filled apt

"eh, we're getting fumigation done. i'll pay for the taxi uptown, it's cool"

1:34 PM Blake: as long as no one looks in my fridge the facade plays. my clothes, my furniture, all acceptable. a Costco sized jar of chunky peanut butter with obvious finger trails and white wine spilling onto open salsa containers doesnt scream class

1:35 PM Nigel: boho chic goes a long way

but i feel it has a limited life span

at what age does it become, "ok James, when are you going to quit your job at Wasteland vintage"

"you havent made manager yet"

1:36 PM Blake: if i was single, the girls i would date, wouldnt be ok with it anymore.

(ie i would never date a hipster, now that i know what theyre all about)

1:37 PM Nigel: i dont think ive ever dated one

i mean, i would prob hate it,

but its not like im not gonna visit Moscow once before i die

Good Ass Movie

Siskel: Half Nelson was actually a good movieEbert: oh yea

Siskel: not like Garden State

Ebert: i really recommended it to people a total "story" based movie that was somehow interesting

5:28 PM Siskel: it's actually so good

that i disparage it in front of other people

i basically dare them to see it

Ebert: right

hah

Siskel: like, you know the best way to get someone to see "2001"

just burn a copy of the dvd casually

just throw it in the fireplace

5:29 PM i don't really know how to recommend Good Movies to other people

5:30 PM i'm like, have you heard of "Hunger"?

(no, obviously)

then i proceed to describe it, do a mediocre job, and they get back to watching clips of Entourage

5:31 PM Ebert: i mean, I dont want to say, "its mind-blowing" or "you HAVE to see it" . i cant situate myself as that guy. so i always end up recommending films like Rocky and like, The Incredibles.

Bc I can say, "it was so good"

and they will think that

5:32 PM "oh you've never heard of 2001? Its like Rocky, but before and after he dies"

Siskel: i'm thinking of buying dvds of obscure films, packaging them in nondescript brown envelopes, with the words "SEE THIS BY TONITE OR ILL FUCKEN KILL U" in sharpie

sending them to friends

Ebert: thats a good idea, I mean realistically. not the kill you part. but just sending DVDs to people with notes like "if you watch this, theres a gram of blow waiting for you at the bar in 3 hours"

5:34 PM Siskel: "you will be quizzed though"

Ebert: exxactly

and once you actually send "Scream"

5:35 PM Siskel

5:36 PM:then you ask them about the themes and visual motifs going on

and they are incredibly well prepared

5:37 PM Ebert: so I saw two "regular" movies this week. one in theater, one in house. Sunshine Cleaning and Ratatouille

Siskel: oh man

5:38 PM Ebert: the former, Amy Adams is good. the latter, the last little VO monologue of the critic sorta did me good.

5:39 PM Siskel: i havent seen sunshine

but yea i know what youre talking about re: ratatouille

Ebert: So what im saying is im not gonna watch normal movies for a long time ... but I wasnt totally disheartened by what i saw

Siskel: theres a tendency to categorize movies into two groups

american and foreign

5:40 PM as if foreign is just some crazy fucking nation that produces mindblowing shit

all the time

5:41 PM Ebert: you should just guide people who you know who say that to terrible indy german movies

God knows ive seen a few

Siskel: yea

what was that one

5:42 PM The Re Edukators

or some shit

Ebert: YES!

exactly

thats it

Eduaktors

Siskel: that fucking East/West berlin

yea

fuck that movie

Ebert: no one sympathises with Germans

fuck off

5:43 PM you went from straight evil

to straight perfect

who cares

G.O.O.D. F.R.I.D.A.Y.

1:55 PM MartinLutherKingJr: are you giving yourself friday off?

1:56 PM MalcolmX: no in fact

my grandfather would kill me

1:57 PM is it an easter thing or is it a bank holiday, or do people combine the two in some sick gentile fuckfest?

2:00 PM MartinLutherKingJr: i dont think its a bank holiday

but non religious people and jews get to reap the benefits

2:01 PM almost like me going to 95% jew elementary school on LA's westside

"Yom Kippur"? fuck yea i'll take it

2:03 PM MalcolmX: haha.

no, fuck, I mean, "yea I'll hunt for some fucking eggs. where they at?"
