man, I had free tickets to see Pan's Labyrinth last wednesday... but sure enough it coincided with the one evening of the week I have my work meetings. I am still a little pissed about that.

Ngz said the movie sucked, but the other asian eric said it was good. Ngz also says Waking Life sucks and the other eric that it's great. If you've seen waking life, decide whose opinion you agree with and go with that.



You're right Albert, that dude is sorely lacking in hurricane sabers. And he doesn't look nearly bad-ass enough.

i'm definately up for Pan's Labyrinth.

I'll jump on the bandwagon and say count me in for Pan's Labyrinth as well.

-That guy needs to be definitly more angrier and sword weildier to be a better impression. But pretty good, he got the fist waving down and asian thing down.

what do I win for the "narrowest audience for a bumper sticker" award?

Me, too. That film looks delightfully bizarre.

Count me in, Jsese.

is anyone interested in going to see Pan's Labyrinth sometime? The little bit I know of it totally has me hooked!!!

Beck, that could possibly win the award for narrowest audience for a bumper sticker.

Ok, I don't know if anyone watched My Name is Earl this week, but the story was about the guy Earl and Joy had previously accidentally kidnapped winding up dead when his Murphy Bed slammed him into the wall while he slept.

At one point in the episode, a flashback is shown of the character's internet life, and he's seen typing (and, as TV characters are wont to do, speaking the words he types aloud) "No, I don’t think shows should do more meta jokes that cater to the online bloggers and I’m sure everyone at Television Without Pity Dot Com agrees with me."

The episode aired last Thursday (the 18th). This was one of the posts at the aforementioned site on the 17th:

First, I have to admit that I’ve noticed something weird about myself. I talk out loud when I type. Does anyone else do that?

[Par: This is a quote from another user]
"The one thing I wish MNiE did more was wink to the audience now and again. I think it would be cool if they did more meta jokes like AD used to do. I think I would enjoy Earl and other shows more if they did. Does any one agree with me on this?"


I have to say that I like my TV shows to be pure. When they start winking at the audience and trying to be too cute it really starts to chip away at the reality of the show’s world for me. I like to think that the people in the show don’t know the audience exists. When the writers use cheap and easy gags to amuse a small group of the audience it causes the rest of us to snap back into reality and remind us we’re just watching a show and that upsets me. And I'm sure it bothers other people as well. So, I guess my response to your question would be:

No, I don’t think shows should do more meta jokes that cater to the online bloggers and I’m sure everyone at Television Without Pity Dot Com agrees with me.

I support Empty Paras

...can someone make that into a bumper sticker?
