Jack Mangans Deadpan #192: Big Trouble in Little Deadpan
Special Guest Lo Pan
Question: Do homes in Arizona really need fireplaces?
“Funky Cold Medina” is a hip hop song written by Young MC, Michael L. Ross and Matt Dike,[1]
and first performed by Tone Loc. It was the second single from Loc’s debut album Loc-ed
After Dark (1989). The single was released on March 18, 1989, and rose to #3 on the
Billboard Hot 100 the following month. It peaked on the UK Singles Chart at #13 in May of that year.

Deadpan Day!
Deadpan morning!
There are FOUR comments!
wow only 4 comments?!?! damn late to rise on the deadpan
Wowie!

Yeah, this describes me.

Or maybe it is 10. I got distracted. 🙂
One, Two … Five !
NO. Three!
Hey Pan. My connection is slooooow today. We’ll see how long it takes to download today’s episode.
I’m pretty sure my brain works that way too, Ralph
squirrel!
As a side note, 2010 stats:
2010 had 37,303 comments. This comment count was up 29% over 2009.
Way to go Deadpan!
A good one and a bad one:

bunny, well that is quit the nice looking chic(en)
I think I prefer # 6 on that list Reaper. Or at least the comment is the best.
Yeah, but chicken’s have slightly less brains than a politician which is a major turn off for me.
Maybe #4 is in actually in the honour of the hockey team?
When I was younger and lived on the farm, our idea of fun was hypnotizing the chickens (honest)

Good morning.
Well off to pay some bills and do my own shopping.

^get it? lolz.
Lo Pan, yes much loling!!!
Had to stop listening to the show for about an hour. Hubby’s still home and the volume changes were driving him nuts.
Oi Jack! http://www.conversationsnetwork.org/levelator
Reaps where the hell you been all my life?
Lo Pan, mostly the middle of no where Wisconsin…
hmmm maybe middle of every where in Wisconsin. It takes an hour to get to Madison, Milwaukee, or Green Bay.
I didn’t even notice the volume changes . . .
Truth is, hubby’s just a little grumpy this morning. He’s trying to print something for a presentation he has and the printer has decided to act all uppity.
I’ve been asked to shut down my background sounds (podcasts) so he can concentrate. Today, I wish he was running on his normal schedule. He’d be gone by now.
Then you should take some time off of BFE Wisconsin and drink with me…
“uppity”
disclaimer: I really, really, really love my hubby. Even when he’s all grumpy and stuff. He’s usually a very easy going person. It’s the procrastinator in him that sometimes does him in (I had all week to get this done but I didn’t do it until this morning when I actually need it done by). Silly man :cheerful:
Lo Pan, We have lots of BFE in Wisconsin.
if it wasn’t for the last minute nothing would get done
Whereas I’m just the opposite. If I have a week to do something, chances are It’ll be done withing the hour.
Hubby says he can literally see me vibrate if I have to wait on someone else before I can finish what I need to do.
I have friends who call me hyper-punctual and tell me they’ll know I’m dead when I’m actually late for something.
On the up side, my boss says she’d like to have me cloned. :silly:
Change of subject: The weatherman says highs of -20 C by the end of the weekends – ugh
I kick ass for the lord.
Oh Lord! :blink:
“functional”
Name that movie!
Dead Alive
Google is a wonderful thing :biggrin:
Cheat cheat never beat!
“vibrate”
“whore”
Finally kicked hubby out the door.
Google suggest Dead-Alive
At least I admit I’m a cheater Lo Pan
Same movie Van, just different title.
Ah TEb was ahead of me.
If I have time, I was thinking of doing a movie play by play this afternoon. I don’t know what’s next on the DVR but, given my track record, we know it’ll be good :ninja:
*snobbish movie comment* Actually the true title of the film is Brain Dead. Dead Alive came about for the North American release
*sips brandy with pinky out*
“pinky out”
^this
Lo is obviously an Invader!
Good episode Jack and Lo. I’d be under you both any time *ahem*
:wassat:
That was your obscure TV series reference for the day.
Hi
I don’t get it. Snapes on a plane?
Oh.
Yeah. I just got it.
I thought it was a bus. Maybe a snipe hunt, but on a bus? Dunno, didn’t make sense to me either. I have baby brain. That’s my story and I’m… whazzat?
I thought Lo Pan was more Gir than Invader.
Gwar
I just want you to know, I am not getting any work done. I think I’ll have to be silent for a bit if I want to get something done so I can watch a movie this afternoon.
This is why I come to the board! I love you all.
*pases out brandy snifters
Nomad, to be fair I couldnt remember Snape’s name. So I literally stared at it for 10 minutes before it came on me. Er… to me.
Half Blood Princes on a Plane
Hans Gruber on a Plane.
Beyond geeky, Rhettro!
I didn’t get it until NS ‘splained it, but I was too embarrassed to admit it.
Never be too embarrassed about anything, EssBee. My pants are on my head.
Now I haf a pilots licence… ho…ho…ho
Apologies to Hubby for the level changes.
I suppose this episode could have benefited from some Levellatoring.
Mood levellator?
Love in a Levellator?
John the Levellator?
Sticking out finger was the way to tell the Aliens in The Invaders.

Which band, Rhett? Color Me Badd?

Ha ha I Keel me.
Pants on my head is the name our band. Let it be written….

In regards to earbuds 2, you could send Grooveshark links (if tracks are in they database).
EssBee – Yup. I spent a bit of time perusing the wikipedia entry on WildChild, which led to Sabretooth, which led to Weapon X and Silver Fox and Wolverine and the 198 and the Collective and Guardian and Sasquatch and on and on.
One important thing to remember: Claremont is halfway brilliant and halfway bloody insane.
I have always loved them, Nomad, but I’m not too familiar with WildChild!
aka Silver Fox?
CP: Hello It’s Me — Fisher

http://tinyurl.com/28u8sc7
Well that’s a relief.
NOT the end of the world? Huh… I gotta work harder
I’m less familiar with Silver Fox than with WildChild. All I really know about her is that she was killed (apparently, this is, after all, an X-Men story) by Sabretooth on Wolverine’s birthday. A special sort of birthday present. “Hey, I killed your lover and now I’m going to kill you. Happy Birthday!”
I mostly remember WildChild from the Age of Apocalypse era. Sabretooth ran around with WildChild on a leash, like this crazy mutant dogman attack grenade on a leash. Not really much of a character, just a wild … child. :cough:
Credit where it’s due:
“Well, I first think that they ought to call a veterinarian, not me. You know, I’m not the religious-conspiracy-theorist go-to guy, particularly,” Cameron said. “But I think it’s really kind of silly to try to equate birds falling out of the sky with some kind of an end-times theory.”
Well, I guess Long Pan prefers Rhettro.

I’m definately not a cheerleader for Cameron, but the odd take-away point was the purpose of the article’s existance in the first place. CNN? What have you been smoking?

Considering how melty everything is, it’s hard to believe how cold it’s suppose to get

Now I’m really looking forward to this movie. 🙂
Her past…

TO COME!!!
AT the risk of being lynched here on the board, I haven’t watched UHF in a while but I remember feeling underwhelmed by it. I(got it for the Palooza but haven’t watched it again, yet. Kind of not at the top of my list. Probably see The Third Man first – even though UHF is suppose to be reviewed first.
OK Pan. Hubby is gone. It’s Movie Time!

The Movie: The Haunting of Molly Hartley

Daddy’s should be committed?
That being said, this was not the worse movie I’ve ever seen. While I’m not saying it was good, it’s still beat by any SyFy movie I’ve seen.

I enjoyed the music more than anything else, as I watched the new Trong.
EssBee, sorry to see that you’re enduring a 1 minute, thirteen second conference call. That sounds tough.

I was just about to say that I really loved the episode!
Lo: I figured that would be the issue. It helped that I listened to the soundtrack multiple times before I saw the movie.

I watched a movie last week called “Beyound a Reasonable Doubt.” It wasn’t that good, but I was convinced that the lead was played by Joshua Jackson (aka Peter Bishop in Fringe), with his hair dyed black. The actress who played his girlfriend seemed a lot like Katie Holmes. As it turns out it was actually Jesse Metcalfe and Amber Tamblyn, but the weird thing is that I found out that Joshua Jackson and Katie Holmes used to be on Dawson’s Creek. The things one learns on the internet.

re: Bunny’s Movie
Chase Crawford is not hot.
I may going into more detail at some point when I feel like writing a full rant. However, the short version is that, I cannot recommend reading Terry Goodkind.
The first couple of books start out as really decent fantasy. The next couple kinda coast along. However, from book five on, Goodkind pretty much gives up all pretense of telling an interesting story and developing characters and goes into full on repackaging Ayn Rand’s Objectivism. I think he succeeds best with Faith of the Fallen (book 5), but from there it goes down hill. The characters that started out so strong and interesting have been reduced to props going through ridiculous motions.
I just finished listening to book nine. Every couple of hours I would ask myself why I’m still listening to this crap. There are two books beyond this in the time line and some other prequel novels. It is a hard thing for me to give up on a series like this without finishing. I’ve only really done it two others times.
Honestly, if it were just the pushing of Randian philosophy as a basis for the story, I could live with that. It that the behavior of the various characters has started running the gambit from wildly inconsistent to flatly uninteresting. I now longer give a crap about any of these characters, especially the leads. I can forgive a lot of questionable writing if the story has strong characters that I can latch onto. Characters allowed me to hang on through those muddy middle books in the Wheel of Time until the Jordan found his mojo with the last few books before his passing.
I’ve been reading forums and websites today and it looks like I’ve actually stuck it out farther than many. I’m sure if I were just trying to read the books rather than listen, I’d have given up earlier.
So, if anyone’s started reading this series based on my recommendations, I urge you to reconsider and spare yourself the agony I have endured trying to come to realize that I needed to stop subjecting myself to this guy’s horrible writing. I know EssBee has started on it – turn back, my friend, before it’s too late.
I’m listening to Starship Troopers now and I think I’ll go through some other classic science fiction works before I get back into fantasy again. I really want to get into GRR Martin, but I think I need to cleanse my pallet first.
Ok, I guess I did end up writing the full rant. That wasn’t the short version I though it was going to be.
I found this that sums it up nicely:
http://i.imgur.com/Ptyzi.jpg
Thanks for the warning Ed, makes me glad I never read past the 2nd book in that series. If I even read that far, I’m pretty sure I read the first one back in high school.
IMHO, if I notice a movie’s soundtrack for more than 2 seconds, it has failed. The exception to that would be Dark Knight. I kept noticing the music throughout the movie, but only to go “YEAH!”
Any book that makes a baby look like the last one… I have to read just for the pain of it. Jeez.
EssBee- Silver Fox was “young member of the Blackfoot Indian tribe who, in the early 1910s, fell in love with a young mutant named Logan and shared a cabin with him in a remote community in the Canadian Rockies.” Sabertooth killed her.
Later, Silver Fox joined the Weapon X program, along with Wolverine and Sabertooth. They had their memories altered, though, so they didn’t know each other. Her memory implants went funky and she turned into a baddie, betraying the team and blah blah. Eventually she hired an assassin to kill Wolverine’s girlfriend.
Later still, she got the band back together again when the Weapon X’ers started dying off. But then Sabertooth killed her again. The end.
=)
WildChild’s story is even more insane, and shares little more with Silver Fox than a bad relationship with Sabertooth and, of course, the whole Canadian thing.
Oh. I already answered that. Der.
I’m getting really pissed off with insecure women.

I must say that the soundtrack to Tron: Legacy will stick with me far longer than the movie itself.
Van, honestly I have tried not to flirt! 😉
Ed, I trust your advice. I have the hard copy of Goodkind’s book 2 and it was next on my list after The Pillars Of The Earth, but now it’s going to trade-in. Life’s too short for bad fantasy and some douche going all political on us. I really think you’ll love GRR Martin, but be warned, Sly B was just ranting last night about it being six years . . . SIX . . . since book four came out. I personally don’t mind waiting for books in series, but if you do, Sly B might be ready to form a support group!
What other series are out there are recommended? I’m ready to get something great in the queue . . .
NS, I remember her story now and remember how she was presented in the flick. I like Silver Fox! I feel more grey goose . . .

http://www.webscription.net/p-297-oath-of-swords.aspx
I’d also recommend
Alan Dean Foster’s Journey of the Catechist trilogy
1st book is Carnivores of Light and Darkness
Micheal Stackpole’s Atlas trilogy
1st book is A Secret Atlas
Steven Brust’s Jhereg Series
1st book is Jhereg, you can get the 1st 3 in The Book of Jhereg
it’s an 8 book series about half of which I’ve read. I’d almost recommend just reading the first book as so far i think it’s the best.
E.E. Knight’s The Age of Fire series
1st book is Dragon Champion
Fantasy from the dragon’s pov. so far I’ve read the first 2 books.
I think your cape is FAAAAA-Bu-Louss!
I’d shoot Donald Regan to prove my love for Lisa Foster….
Thanks, Ralph!
Thats enough fish, Thong.
Baen actually has alot of their catalog for free at http://www.baen.com/library/
in multiple formats, including email to Kindle.
Including the 2nd book in that trilogy, although I didn’t see the third book.
Joe Don Baker Is Mittens.
Joe Don Baker IS Mitchell
Mitchell is Mittens?
Lo: I finished Bad Lieutenant this morning. I stand by my assessment that the acting was bad, but ended up enjoying the flick.
Favorite line: “Do fish dream?”
Oh that wacky ending! Like that film bunches.
It’s not often you see Johnny Mathis in the wild.
Alright John Tesh. I know you’re in here!
It’s not often you see LostRalph in the wild.
Joe Don Baker IS Martha Mitchell
I’m in the wild? I don’t remember drinking that much last night.
Margaret Mead?
I have a book at home titled Margaret Mead Made Me Gay
I’d also recommend E.E. Knight’s Vampire Earth series. It’s a post apocalyptic vampire alien hillbilly guerrilla fighter kinda story. It doesn’t quite fit into any of the categories I know.
Then there is the Noble Dead series by Barb and … er. JC Handee. I think that’s right. It’s about this girl and her elf buddy and their overly intelligent dog. They start out running scams on villages by pretending to slay the “vampires” and, well, would ya know it, vampires. And assassins. And fairy dogs. And… lots of fun. =)
I also liked the Black Magician trilogy by Trudi Canavan. Rather YA magic school fantasy and an easy way to divert yourself for a bit.
Oh, Nomad . . .
The Vampire Earth series sound like it’s right up my, ahem . . . for me.
Ed: Thanks for the warning, but I never cared for Goodkind’s work anyway.
EssBee: I sort of have to agree with SlyB on the wait. It is too long, not that I have any say in the matter. And while Martin has addressed commented on the time in interviews, it doesn’t make it any less frustrating.
Reaper: There’s a lot of truth to that chart.
Nomad: That’s Barb & J.C. Hendee. I enjoy that series.
MITCHELL!
I started the Ukiah Oregon series from Wen Spencer. It’s an older series, but the first book, “Alien Taste”, was quite good. And, right now, I’m rereading “Lord of the Rings”.
CP: Bad Boyfriend — Garbage
Actually, I’m reading about 7 books right now but I thought the ones above would be of most interest around here.
“”Alien Taste””
“‘Lo'” “‘Pan'”
CP: I’m Still In Love With You — Al Green
The title and cover of Alien Taste is familiar, but I don’t recognize the story. I wonder if is one of the mass of books I’ve shelved before reading…
“mass”
Nomad: My wife has really enjoyed this book and tried to get me to read it many times. But, both the cover art and story description never appealed to me. I like what I’ve read from Wen Spencer so I finally forced myself to read this book. I was pleasantly surprised.

Funny, I was going to advise strongly AGAINST the “Urth of the New Sun” series coda, but Amazon lists nothing but positive reviews. Maybe I’m wrong.
“Vibrator Bomb” is *so* going to be the name of our band.

Whereas the rest of of have no problem screaming our lack thereof, LR.
I think you’d be a great voice on DP.
BTW: I’m pissed at you Americans. There’s a certain game (Witcher 2) that has the collectors edition available for pre-order in the states but not in Canada yet. Now the question is, do I want to pay an extra $20 to get it shipped up here from across the border?
Oh, Ralph, that’s horseshit.
I don’t find zither music annoying.
Aw, thanks. Please excuse my neuroses :tongue:
Honestly, the U.S. and Canada just need to merge into one country. The rest of the world thinks were the same country anyway. Now deciding on a name, Camerida? Amanda? Upper Mexico?
I see one group thinks we should be “United North America”.

Oh why stop at North America, make the world one country.
Judging from the Coke ads you see in obscure countries we are half way there…
I maybe a socialist, just thought I had better warn you.

Sad to say I haven’t read any on this list except one (Broken Kingdoms) which I’ve just started:
http://io9.com/5714039/the-14-best-speculative-fiction-books-of-2010
We already know that all utopian civilizations eventually become Zardoz.
So technically I haven’t read that one either.
bugger!
I’ve read one (how to live safely in a science fictional universe). I know hubby has read Thw Wind Up girl but I haven’t yet
From the descriptions I only want to read at most half of that list…
I am terrible about reading new stuff. I’m usually reading stuff 10 years after everyone else, except a handful of authors and series that I stick with.
I am in awe of Ted Chiang though, and if I was a woman I would want to have his babies.

I enjoyed Cherie Priest’s Boneshaker but haven’t read the new one of hers that’s on that list.
-Gotta check on dinner. Hubby will be home soon.

On a related note, I usually wait for the awards nominations to come out (hugo, nebula, world fantasy, etc) and then will choose a selection of books out of those to read.
Re: CanAmerica
I don’t really see any upside for Canada. :/
Re: Vibrator Bomb
So I first go on record as saying that is way out of line and the perpetrate should perhaps be sentenced to become his own device’s bitch.
That being said … perhaps the device’s intended lover needs to reflect on what she may have done to incur such wrath. Stabbing, shooting, running over with a car, pushing down a flight of stairs … blinded by passionate rage, these are all conceivable. I am intrigued though, with what might cause a former boyfriend to not only want to explode your vagina but go to the effort of ACTUALLY designing and building such a device?
I mean hate is hate but that’s a lot of hours spent NOT playing video games or watching TV. How pissed off would you have to be?
hmmmm there has to be some really interesting back story there.

I just canceled my WoW account, I feel kind of empty inside…
Why cancelled, LR?
Good morning, DP! We’re going to catch Black Swan today before the bad weather heads in.
Because the renewal is in 1 month, and I can’t balance WoW and real life. Unfortunately WoW loses.
Actually I cut myself off from the game a couple of months back, just feels more official to actually cancel the auto-renewal.
I see!
Yeah much ado about nothing this morning.
Of greater importance, if I’m going to be snowed in with my family this weekend, do I need to bring my bottle of Jameson?
Pack it, LR, just in case. Better safe than sorry.
CW: FourCast vidcast #62. They keep talking about a Ralph’s grocery store and it’s messing with my mind.
EssBee: sold!
I’d buy that for a dolla!
Hey Pan
Went grocery shopping. They promised us 10cm of snow over night but we didn’t get it. However that wind is biting cold. Currently only -8 but -20 with the wind chill.
Finally going to see Scot Pilgrim tonight. Downloading on to the XBox as we speak
Left work. Came home. Working from home.
I’m having weird vertigo today. ugh.
I need to get a return authorization for this week.
I suspect fate is conspiring against me in my efforts to see the King’s Speech…both evening performances sold out at the cinema.
Ah well….
What kind of Jameson do you have in a bottle??
Jesus. Crazy people are not funny.
^Gives Darth Maul a run for his money, eh?
Jack: the irish kind.
I feel like I missed something…
Well ‘127 Hours’ was pretty intense, was amusing to see people wincing at the amputation scene.
“10cm of snow ”
10cm – “10 chocolate muffins” ??
“10 Canadian moose”
“10 children’s mukluks”
I’ve had trouble waking up today and this is where my brain goes.
“Exit Through the Gift Shop” is wonderful
10cm= 4 inches.
Sheesh
BTW, it’s a veritable blizzard outside at the moment

Hello, Pan.
As you know if you’re my friend on Facebook, I’ve finally surfaced from my long dive into the deep waters of the Cisco Networking Academy curriculum. I can now say that I am one of the world’s newest Cisco Certified Networking Associates. I passed the exam yesterday morning (Friday, January 7), and that night, we went out and celebrated. The Brewhouse Blonde beer at BJ’s restaurants is really good.
I’m currently catching up on all the comments that have been posted since I’ve been away from the Deadpan. I have lots of content I want to record for the show. Hopefully, that will be coming soon.
One thing about Black Swan — the amount of press the lesbian stuff got was really over the top. It was really just a moment.
Way to go Amy, congratulations.
But WHAT a moment!
*doing!*
I took my iPhone back to the Apple store today.
It was checked out by connecting to the guy at the genius bar computer claimed the battery was fine and I should take his advice and see how it performs over the next week.
The strange thing is, when I tried to sync my phone tonight, it wouldn’t sync, and I got a message saying this phone has been synced with another iTunes account.
Just wondering if he copied any private info of my phone now.
+f
Didn’t seem liked it was connected long enough, so I maybe being paranoid.
Has this been done here?
http://damnyouautocorrect.com/
Even if it is a repeat, it’s a funny site CJ. MY sister, and I, were cracking up.
Congratulations, Amy! That’s no small accomplishment.
EssBee, I managed to duck all of that hype, so the scene’s intensity was a surprise for me.
Speaking of. . . (current movies, not lesbian scenes), True Grit was a damn fine film.
Wow Cj, I’ve literally LOL’ed at a bunch of the posts on that site.
That’s Fantastic Amy !!!
Way to go!
CJ – some of those had me lol as well 😀
Now, what’s all this about Jack creating an intense scene with a duck and a hypo?
mukluk
Joe, you’re up late.
Van, Jack, J0e: Thank you! 🙂
Good night, hypo.
So, I had asked about Black Swan before but either didn’t see the responses or something.. is the consensus that I should or should not see it?
Hmmm!

Started reading Neuromancer last night, but the bubbles were so soothing that I got tired and went to sleep instead.
I think I’ve only made it through the first 4 pages, but I’m intrigued.
Something for you RPGers to wistfully sigh over:
http://m.io9.com/5728547/check-out-a-never+published-dune-rpg
Van, I thought the communism thing said combination of Red Dwarf and Hostel, so I was expecting something a little snarkier.
I didn’t read all the way through to see that this was the film Negativeland got their “Christianity is stupid, communism is good” sample from and I almost spit out my oatmeal laughing when I heard it.
I finally watched Trong, but it was an “obtained by alternate means” copy at a friend’s house. I was underwhelmed, but I didn’t have the advantage of seeing all of the special effects in mile-high imax or 3D. Unfortunately, this was one of those movies where any stones I can throw at it also tend to apply to the original as well. Like Star Wars, I just happened to be the right age and the movie was in the right era so I enjoyed them infinitely more than I ever possibly could as an adult trying to recapture something from my youth. Maybe there’s a lesson here for us all (I’m looking at YOU Hollywood). Or maybe I’m just a blathering jackass. I suppose either option is equally likely.
Spellwight shared this with me and it made me happy happy happy!!!

Van – As I understand Christianity (ie … embracing the teachings of Christ and trying to imitate his love of others), when the man in that video dies he will not be hearing from the Christian God.
Cj, it was definitely suspenseful and there were a few cringey moments. Maybe see it in the daytime?

Cj, Black Swan – I haven’t seen The Third Man, but it is playing on TCM right now.

Five minutes into it, we are thinking we might not finish it.
Well I enjoyed TMWSAG Essbee, but you shouldn’t miss an opportunity to watch The Third Man.
cough
We didn’t give it much of a chance, and now are CW: Knowing
I def plan to watch The Third Man!
That’s the first positive I’ve heard about TMWSAG, Van.
The Paloozas are actually planned for the episodes 2 weeks and 3 weeks out, but if people need more time, then that’s ok with me. We can push back.
need . more . time
I look forward to reading LostRalph’s brewing post. Always something new to learn.
Just got to add it to the “to do” list.
Hey, does anyone else think this emoticon could look like it has fangs?
:t
If you have fangs next to your colon, sure.
Well going to watch TTM tomorrow night, only way to keep my memory of the film relatively fresh.
At the moment, I only remember the street scene, the fairground scene. and the final scene at the cemetery.
jJoe: You’ll probably be able to skim through it, it’s really an intro for people just becoming interested in homebrewing. I’m interested about your opinion of the post as another homebrewer.
I still need to watch both movies. Although I just watched UHF a month or two ago so it’s still kinda in my mind.
Random Trong thought. People keep talking about Olivia Wilde being easy on the eyes, but I actually like Beau Garrett (the white haired chick that leads the kid to Zuse) better.
I haven’t watched either Palooza movie yet either, but I will definitely try to do so as soon as I can.
Just watched the new Fox show Bob’s Burgers. I had recognized H. Jon Benjamin (Coach McGuirk on Home Movies) in the adds. I was extremely pleased to see that Loren Bouchard (one of the main writers of Home Movies) was the main writer for Bob’s Burgers. I also noticed that the health inspector in Bob’s Burgers was voiced by the guy who played Fenton (Sam Seder) and the Health Inspector’s assistant was voiced by the guy who played Mr Lynch (Ron Lynch). Looks like this could be the next reincarnation of Home Movies… or more technically speaking the next reincarnation of Dr. Katz.

Watched the first episode of Shameless last night. Completely crazy and twisted. I like it. 🙂
There was also some blurb at the end that said it was based on a Channel 4 show. I had not realized it was an American remake.

ditto, that’s the first positive I’ve heard about Shameless. We DVR’d it, along with Episodes and Californication last night.
“date of birthday”. I am turning into Trucker Overdrive.
EssBee: Given the nature of the show, I’m expecting a lot of people won’t like it at all. But it does live up to it’s title: the characters are shameless. It will be interesting to see where it goes from here.
Boy, it does seem like the server problems have begun again.
ditto: I read a headline yesterday that said it forgot the great social/class commentary of the original series, and that it was hard for the reviewer to love the anti-hero without that piece.
I love W.H. Macey, so am looking forward to it.
It “forgot the great social/class commentary of the original series?” The reviewer can tell that from one episode? Well, maybe the reviewer got to see more than the rest of us, but I think it’s too early to make that determination. And really, while it is fair to compare it to the original, it should be reviewed on its own merits, imo.
Yep, I agree, ditto.

PS Do Seahawks have balls?
PPS It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if the Seahawks kick da bears asses all over soldiers field. But we can hope.
May I add – “Go Tigers! Gobble up those ducks!”
That is all.
Congrats TSH!!!!!
Best news this year! 🙂
Okay, today is full of win! Congratulations Huge and Andrea!!!

TSH – well, I think it’s official, there shall be no “fuck 2011”
Glad to hear the treatments were a success!
And, a warm and hearty welcome to T CAT officially braving the comments board.
Embrace hope, all ye who enter here!
Good morning, DP!
-24F here with the windchill; I think they just said -3F without. Eeek! My Subaru no likey below zeroes . . .
We watched the Californication and Episodes premiers last night. Even though Hank Moody is a pig and all that, I really like the show. Episodes was cute – not sure it’ll be a keeper yet.
Did anyone watch The Cape? The reviews are so bad I’m not sure I’ll spend the time . . .
Sorry, Jack, I didn’t BUY you a bday present; I understand the Spatula World present now.
What a letdown, eh?
🙂
Morning Pan.
A balmy -22C here. -30 with the wind chill. I think I will hibernate today.
Great news TSH.
That cigar story reminds me of this

If you don’t like your past… change it.
Which was rather enjoyable
Holy crow. It’s only 7:15 and I’m done my work for the day. Now what?
EssBee, we’ve seen half of The Cape and plan to watch the rest today. So far we don’t think it’s too bad. It’s nothing amazing but still enjoyable popcorn tv.
It has a very comic book style – deliberately done that way.
Anybody need this sign?

The perils of Worldcon in the 70’s if you were female (from the latest Ansible):
Sherry Gottlieb was moved to reminiscences of a long-past decade by the A281 item about aged sf professionals with wandering hands: ‘Back in the ’70s, I entered the lobby of a Worldcon hotel, wearing hip-hugger jeans and a midriff top (as I was then young and had the body for it); I had not yet checked in and wasn’t wearing a name tag. My progress was stopped by Isaac Asimov, whom I’d never met, so he couldn’t have known for sure that I was there for the Con. / Asimov put his finger in my navel and said, “Nice tits. May I cop a feel?” / I said no and walked on, noticing his surprise that he’d been turned down. / The next evening was the con’s Meet the Authors signing event, and I’d brought a few of my favorite first editions to get signatures, among them my first eds of Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy. I went up to Asimov and said, “Mr. Asimov, would you please sign these for me?” He said, “Aren’t you the girl who wouldn’t let me cop a feel yesterday?” “Yes,” I said. “Then I’m not signing your books,” he replied. / I was aghast that the great author was an offensive old lech. Someone nearby – I believe it was John Douglas – overheard; he told me to give him my Asimov books to him, and he got them signed for me.’
Apparently Family Tree has found 79 potential family members for me on Facebook.
“I, Dumbass”
Yuck, Van. Also the perils of thinking your favorite personality is anything but a lech.
Fantastic Voyage III: Destination Misogyny
Oddly, old perverted sci-fi writers are often asking if they can feel my breasts as well.
Hutchins doesn’t count.
Kilroy 2.0 is here, feeling yer man bewbs.
Sorry, I don’t think the novacain has quite wore off.
Apparently Asimov’s lesser-known fourth law of robotics had something to do with allowing gropes from creepy old men with unruly sideburns?
Van, I’d love the audio file – – sure!
Wait… 2 of those 3 descriptions Jack just gave about Asimov describe me…
bew bew bewbs!
Season of the Witch has 5% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 29 on Metacritic. I knew it would be bad but…but…but thats terrible.
Just watched knowing with Nick Cage an I found it rather… Baffling.
Yup, I’m pretty sure baffling is the word I’m looking for
Van, mutual. It was a great talk
For the record, I’ve been groped by lesser men than IA. Or is that too much info?
Is it just me or does anybody else hate the term, “giving 110%”?
I usually give 10% so I dont have that problem.
Btw Jack, just so you’re warned, Van and I kind of go off on a few unrelated tangents.
Well no, but disappointed you didn”t put them in an armlock…
I just want to throttle people who say that. Them and the ones who say, ” it’s like de-ja-vu all over again”
The 110% comment was on the TV news, Van. Kind of hard to arm lock that
Its like 110% all over again.
Apparently I’m completely up to date on Canada’s businee news. Somehow I have my doubts.
😆 Lo
I was replying to you being groped.
Now I’m learning how to teach toddlers gross motor skills. When my kid was little she didn’t need lessons on how to be gross :cheerful:
Ah Van. I was a lot younger and less learned in the ways of Hapkido
thanks for the welcome everyone!
I’m going to watch The Cape but haven’t yet. Kinda not feeling optimisitc.
Season of the Witch–I know I was having trouble figuring out the plot from the trailer, but I never thought it would be in the 5% range. Ugh.
Bunny, did the lesser gropers give it 110%? Were they just not skilled? Or just not trying?
I just watched Knowing too – Sunday – it was . . . well, not good. I realized about an hour into it that I’d seen it before. Sly B asked what happened at the end and I couldn’t remember. And again I’ve blocked it out.
“Season of the Witch” looked cool, but movies starring Mr. Cage are like a box of chocolates. The get all melty under bright light.
CP: Ripple — Kishida Ky?dan and The Akeboshi Rockets

“Apparently Family Tree has found 79 potential family members for me on Facebook.”
Oh … are you looking for replacements for a few of your current ones? 😉
BTW – alone and using the speaker phone almost assuredly means that they are multitasking. In other words, even if they called YOU – you still don’t quite rate their full attention while they have you on the phone.
Well TEB you aren’t the only one that needs to wrap up warm this winter:

“Wait for the crème”, ditto.
Is it Bailey’s flavoured?
Lo, “May I smoke my pipe as well? “
Jager.
By all means, ditto. It is your house.
You all crazy
EssBee, “Are you mad? What have you done? I made a deal with your general for that man’s life! “
ditto: “Yeah, they made that deal, but they don’t give a fuck about him. They need you.”
That’s a pretty exciting story. What’s next? “Eliza On The Ice”?
Antonio Marghereti.
That’s a slippery slope to psychotherapy.
If anybody gets that, you win 10p.
RE: The Cape
Not fantastic, but a pleasant enough start for a series.
But an English bad guy…come on you can do better than that…
Oh yeah, two English bad guys…groan.

Van, I thought that’s why you had the twirly mustache!
JJ: based on my feelings about Facebook, I’m not sure the new family found there would be an improvement!

The Cape wasn’t so bad . . .
OK, but was it good?
I must confess, the largely apathetic reviews, both professional and amatuer, kept me from setting in on the DVR.
I’m getting too old to waste my free hours on bad fiction.
You know, I’ve seen a number of “gigapixel” images before. This is one of the few that was actually a nice photograph in addition to be technological masturbation.
http://www.yosemite-17-gigapixels.com/
Cool pictures Ed. I just finished watching the pilot for The Cape. It was decent show, I think it needs more of a sense of humor to go with the camp. Kinda reminded me of the Viper TV series, and similar shows from the 90s.

New Deadpan content has been submitted for the first time in ages. Feels good to be back in the game. :happy: Jack, let me know if you don’t receive it. (I sent it to sphericaljackm @ gmail, as always.)
Well The Third Man was a good movie. Interesting how much chase scenes have changed since then.

goodnight pan
Well I have that Wednesday feeling, not sure what to do today, and feel apathetic to jump through the hoops needed to get my passport renewed.
Well it figures. For some reason, I woke up today thinking it was Thursday. Usually, I’m a day behind. This week, I’m ahead?
But, in a way, that’s good news. Tomorrow I have to get a molar extracted. Today, I get more time to think about. Wait, maybe that’s not such good news after all.
Ed, I’d say skip it, but Summer G. does kick some ass . . . I think we’ll watch one more episode before calling it quits.
CW: Southland
Ok, coffee is ready, I guess I’ll let the morning start now.
Well today was an epic fail, no passport forms at the post office and the shop that took photos for passports wasn’t there anymore.
I should have stayed in bed.
sorry Van 🙁
^Its because theyre all British. And evil.
LostRalph – I actually had some long rambling thoughts on your “Beginner Brewing” post … but I didn’t want to post it to your “comments” though because it’s long and sort of “train of thought”.
If there is a “contact me” on your blog page I couldn’t find it. 🙁
jJoe: Heh, guess I need to set one of those up. You can reach me at this alias on gmail. I look forward to getting your email. Although heck you can go ahead and post it to the comments anyway, not like I need to keep things short yet. 🙂
In other interests this video is a bit late but fun anyway.

I haven’t been interested in seeing The Cape, and Summer G is becoming a reason to avoid shows, imo. But, I’ll give it a chance.
Lo: I agree. 🙂
I like Summer G. I think she plays a good ass kicker.
CP: Monday’s Democracy Now!
Ill watch Sarah Connor for good ass kicking Summer G.
And Ill watch 4400 for good show with Summer G, period.
Cape = Ill chill on it for a bit
Oh yeah for anyone interested in getting caught up on The Cape, the first 2 episodes are on Hulu at the moment.
I agree with EssBee about Summer G., that’s the only reason I have any interest in watching the terminator tv show.
Summer G is in 4400? I haven’t seen that show yet – it’s been on my Netflix queue forevar.
Lesbian Steampunk Lo, that should get your ancient blood racing:
http://podcastle.org/2011/01/11/podcastle-139-to-follow-the-waves/
Summer G has been playing almost exactly the same character in every show she’s been on since Firefly. I’m just getting tired of it.
*shrug*
Thought the second episode of The Cape was worse than the pilot.
Plus Chess looks like he should be in a S&M bar.

Interesting quote from a newsletter I read:
“…companies don’t get killed by competition. They usually find creative ways to commit suicide.”
–Sridhar Vembu,
CEO of Zoho
That quote is pretty spot on, Essbee.
I once worked for a company that focused very diligently on digging it’s own grave and then INTEL was more than happy enough to come along and shove them into it.
Sure INTEL was the bad guy but COME ON! The former company was just begging for it.
“begging for it”
jaj: Thanks for the feedback 🙂
“was just begging for it”
Great minds think alike. LOL

My recording for Nine Inch Smurfs is finally done and submitted. :happy:
how do you people get anything done? there’s like a million comments a day in here.
takes me forever just to scan thru them!
ditto-excellent summation of Summer G. She’s almost as common as the cylon chick these days.
(Plz note: remembering names and spelling are two things T Cat is genetically unable to master.)
I r gud ngineer 2 speelling. 🙂
T Cat: Are we supposed to get things done?
Uh oh . . .
I submit that “comments” here at Deadpan are “things” and they do get “done.”
When hubby saw SG was going to be in The Cape his first question was, “is she playing a super fighter from the future?”
If EssBee work for Evil Inc. does she get more good karma for doing her job and being a good employee, or by not doing her job and thereby slowing the march of Evil?
Rhettro wins
They being said, we liked The Cape. It is definitely not a show to analyze. There are so many thing wrong and so many plot holes it’s not funny. But, taken for what it is, we found ourselves quite enjoying it.
CW: Hellbinders
Does SG wear a space helmet and a bikini? If so, I’ll tune in.
You know, I generally like Ray Park but the acting in this movie is terrible. I blame the director
No Rhett. mini-skirts, wigs and sports cars are her thing in this show
I’m intriged, but I’ll wait.
I submit that the “commenters” here at Deadpan are “things” and they do need to get “done.”
“Things” that need to get “done” in your “Inbox”.
“”
sorry…
We’re so sorry, uncle Albert.
Let’s be honest Jack, you’re not really sorry
“Junk mail”

I tried a new recipe for cornflake cookies. I think I quite like it.
On another note, Hellbiders wasn’t that bad of a movie. Acting wasn’t great but still very watchable.
Tonight, hubby says we’re watching this
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1679332/
*shrug* could be interesting.
I wonder if that film will have any high drama scenes where a length of string is used to determine whether or not the Space Marine on the coffee table can hit the creature behind the couch.
Never got into Warhammer, but the game store close to my house is a Warhammer haven.
Ugh. I’m starting to really feel not so good, Al.

Nooooooope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope
It’s rather boring:

I’ll keep my 10p..sheeesh.
Is Jack referencing some episode of “Married… with Children” ?
I need to get done.
A roving vagina can lead to hysterics..or so the ancient Greeks believed.
I meant to say I need to get my nails done.
Well, I watched the first two episodes of The Cape. I don’t think I’ll continue watching. I just didn’t find it interesting enough. Though I was pleasantly surprised that Summer G played a different character.
CJ … I don’t think Van was referring to you. Specifically.
“I submit that the “commenters” here at Deadpan are “things” and they do need to get “done.”

Sadly, The Cape was removed from T Cat’s DVR’s recording list.
But major props to SG’s stylist. I so want that wardrobe. (the money to finance it would be nice too.)

I think I’m taking a Deadpan sick day, unfortunately. 🙁
There will still be Un.
^I’m pretty sure we all understand. Feel better, Jack. :hugs:
T Cat – I’m just good at “re-purposing” the quotes of others.
Not that this Deadpan “commenter” could do with a good “done”ing.
Jack – I recommend you drink lots of whiskey.
Probably won’t do a damn thing for your funk but it’s my answer to almost everything.
I live.
Yay! Dance party!
Hope you feel better soon Jack.
jaJ: But beer has herbs in it, and obviously herbs are good for you.
As for The Cape, I think a quote from the 2nd episode says it best
“The Cape? Well, you’ll work on it.” Unless I hear of it getting much more interesting I won’t bother watching it.
“I drink, therefore I am.”
Socrates, right?
Oh, no, gotten my drunken philosphers mixed up again.

If your hives are warm and fuzzy, you might want to get that checked out.

Are the hives near the cockles?
