LOL! I've never seen a narcoleptic puppy before.

That's hysterical. I love it.

Letterman claims that the Miss Universe pageant is rigged because he's noticed that all of the winners have been from Earth.:D

TheCentralScrutinizer · 15 Jul 08 :: 22:45

Also, the floor is rigged so that from now on at least one contestant will fall on her ass every year.

magicalturkey · 15 Jul 08 :: 22:54

Not just any contestant. The American contestant.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 15 Jul 08 :: 22:59

Of course! Remember, men love to see women fall on their ass, or their face. Makes them feel all superior and powerful and crap.

Should I be offended???':clueless:'

Only if you ever wrote a rom com that features the obligatory girl-falls-flat-on-her-face scene...

(see any movie Kate Hudson ever made)

Editsound · 16 Jul 08 :: 01:32

That explains it, I have avoided all of those Kate Hudson "comedies"

justme · 16 Jul 08 :: 02:31

In "Almost Famous" she fell down shortly before having her stomach pumped, but that's different.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 16 Jul 08 :: 02:38

I was kicking myself for not qualifying that by saying "except in Almost Famous". I love that movie and it's far from a dumb rom com. I forgot she did fall, but you're right, it's not the same.

Rick, the prime example of this and maybe the hit that accelerated the trend so that now it's ubiquitous (test me on that) is Miss Congeniality. You know the scene...

She & McConaughey are both capable of good work, but they definitely don't bring out the best in each other.

Editsound · 16 Jul 08 :: 03:06

You're right, I remember the scene from the commercials, but I didn't see it either

And I did see almost famous, and liked it, but it may be the only Kate Hudson movie I have seen

TheCentralScrutinizer · 16 Jul 08 :: 03:20

You almost always see the prat fall in the commercial. That's how cynical it has become. I can almost see the old studio suit sitting there telling the director, "Make sure there's fall and that it's in the trailer." And for some reason, I was hearing Garry Marshall's voice as I wrote that. Although he wouldn't have to say it, he just does it. In that stupid movie with McConaughey, Kate trips over a log and falls flat on her face and it's in the trailer. You can look it up. This has been a pet peeve of mine for years now. If I see the prat fall in the commercial, I don't wanna see the movie.

justme · 16 Jul 08 :: 03:25

I loved almost "Almost Famous". I know that when actors are beginning their careers don't have the luxury of picking out what roles they play. That have to take what they can get. So I have to admit that it kind of irks me that established actors like Hudson & McConaughey keep churning out pap like "Fool's Gold", "How to Lose A Guy..." and other stuff that's so forgettable that I've forgotten it.

Editsound · 16 Jul 08 :: 04:05

That's really interesting about the prat falls. I have never noticed it. But It makes sense, because when I see a prat fall in a trailer, I always think the movie looks kind of desperate for laughs. So, maybe that is why I never see those movies.

As to the wasted opportunities and actors. That is why a lot of actors shouldn't be picking their own parts. I think they think these movies will be good. That they are throw backs to the great screwball comedies.

I was gonna post that last night, but I got sidetracked. It's one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

magicalturkey · 06 Aug 08 :: 19:15

I was laughing so hard. They showed the part about her energy plan on GMA this morning and I was sitting there like , she actually sounded smart!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 06 Aug 08 :: 19:34

It's a fantastic comeback. Masterfully delivered. And side-splittingly funny. I just gained some respect for the girl.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 07 Aug 08 :: 05:23

The video won't work anymore. I really wanted to see it. : (

TheCentralScrutinizer · 07 Aug 08 :: 05:39

Here's a different link, Mel. It's fantastic. You have to see it!

OK, this is really not funny because a guy's dead, but the headline cracked me up. And all this was over an ice cream truck? I think somebody's a little too obsessed with food.

Killer gets life sentence plus pizza in plea deal
PORTLAND, Ore. - A New York man who pleaded guilty to murder in Oregon in exchange for buckets of fried chicken will get calzones and pizza to go with his life sentence.
Tremayne Durham, 33, of New York City, admitted last month that he fatally shot Adam Calbreath, 39, of Gresham, in June 2006. Durham wanted to sell ice cream and ordered an $18,000 truck from an Oregon company. He later changed his mind, but the company wouldn't provide a refund.
The would-be ice cream man came to Oregon and killed Calbreath, a former employee of the company, while looking for its owner, authorities said.
Durham agreed to plead guilty to murder — but only if he could get a break from jail food. The judge agreed and granted Durham a feast of KFC chicken, Popeye's chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, carrot cake and ice cream.
After Wednesday's sentencing, Durham was to get the rest of the deal — calzones, lasagna, pizza and ice cream, his defense attorney confirmed. They will pay the tab.
Durham also got married Wednesday in a civil ceremony at the Portland courthouse. The wedding to Vanessa Davis, 48, also of New York City, was not part of the plea deal that will give Durham a chance for parole after 30 years.
Deputy District Attorney Josh Lamborn said Multnomah County Judge Eric Bergstrom made the right call in allowing the unusual plea agreement because it saved the expense of a trial and possible appeals.
