On the subject of comedians who are more angry than funny, Bill Hicks went his entire goddamn career without telling an actual joke.

That's what they would tell you, of course, and maybe they really do. Good for them. And I wasn't really talking about the 20's, there you still have dreams. This was more for those over 30. Whatever vestiges of youth you still have will be gone soon. Do not wait a second longer.

The best jokes are not actually funny, or intended to be so, but rather question how we think. Think of them as performance art. That's the basis for my posting anyway. :coolfish:

Uhh recalcitrant to go there but

I don't see a thing wrong with cutting and attacking someone or locking them up/arresting them for stuff done to their own body when it stops them killing themselves is evil and no drug or crazy doctor who assumes you hate women because you called someone a pretty boy will change that.

The second sentence in his post makes me assume that his parents came home to find he'd slashed his wrists, had him committed, and the whole time he was yelling "I wasn't killing myself, I was just bloodletting! It's good for you! You guys are fascists!"

edit: holy poo poo I was right

As far as beloved filmmakers going back to their beloved series after decades go, Crystal Skull is less disappointing than stuff like Ridley Scott going back to Alien or Coppola doing Godfather III.

Yeah, there was one back in like 2006 or 7 or something and she posted a bunch of pics of her horribly sliced up arms and one pic where I'm pretty sure you could see a ligament or something. I think she finally got help, but I honestly can't remember it all too well.

Even Young Indiana Jones is pretty good (too much World War I stuff, though - would've been more fun if there'd been more episodes about Indy as a student in Chicago in the 1920s, playing jazz with his friend Sidney Bechet in nightclubs and helping his college roommate Eliot Ness and old war buddy Ernest Hemingway to solve crimes).

I don't really like Goodfellas. It's not because it isn't a good movie, but it's just too violent for me. I can't find it within myself to "enjoy" Pesci's character's sociopathy. I know the point isn't to glorify those guys and what they did (though, like Scarface, that's what has happened), but I saw the movie once, and that's enough for me.
