Quote of the Day: June 17th, 2008

How can he possibly be “silent” when he’s carrying all that shit around?

Great White Snark, in a comment on ToyBender.com, about the supposedly “silent but deadly” 12” Snake Eyes G.I. Joe doll action figure.

The toy is either completely ridiculous or poop-your-pants awesome, depending on how you feel about excessive accessorization. I’m not a girl, so, yeah, it looks totally ridiculous. I was going to leave a comment myself, but nothing I could say is as funny (or insightful) as that.

The actual post and some of the other comments are pretty funny too. Someone even brings up Rob Liefeld, who for comic book fans demands laughter and ridicule and punching in the nuts. Awesome.

I knew that girl was eighteen. She told me that her last boyfriend was Asian, and that crap doesn’t start until college.

30 Rock’s Dennis Duffy, explaining why his arrest on Dateline’s “To Catch a Predator” was unfounded. I’m pretty sure you could write a graduate thesis on that one quote.

30 Rock is probably the best show on TV right now.

Quote of the Day: April 2nd, 2008

You look like you belong in a rock band that has a piano in it.

Justin, in regards to my spiffy new emo glasses.

Quote of the Day: March 29th, 2008

Wow, Barack! The nigga’s name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the fuck, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his fuckin’ name. Ima tell this nigga when I see him, “Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit” [laughs] “That ain’t your fuckin’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no damn Barack.

Rapper DMX, in an interview with XXL magazine, who, prior to this interview, had never heard of Barack Obama, and who, thankfully, isn’t planning on voting.

Quote of the Day: March 25th, 2008

According to this film, in year 2001 we would have had manned voyages to Jupiter, a battle of wits with a sentient computer, and a quantum leap in human evolution. Instead we got the Mir Space Station falling from the sky, Windows XP, and Freddy Got Fingered. Apparently the lesson here is that sometimes it’s better when the movies get the facts all wrong.

Yahoo Movies, as to why 2001: A Space Odyssey is one of the 10 most historically inaccurate movies.

I wish real life was historically inaccurate, too.

Quote of the Day: March 22nd, 2008

When I first got there, during rehearsals I was changing some of the lines a bit, and Wes Anderson pulled me aside and said, ‘Jason, uh, it took me four years to write this script, so could you please just try to do the words I wrote?’ After that I always just did the words.

Jason Schwartzman, on acting in Rushmore, his first film role.

I read that quote when it was first published in 1999, and I was reminded of it when I noticed that Jason Schwartzman co-wrote Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited. The irony is delightfully charming.

Quote of the Day: March 9th, 2008

I haven’t been this disappointed in a film that I thought was about bowling since I saw “300.”

The spectacular Peter David, about The Other Bowlin’ Girl.

If I thought there would be as much nudity in The Other Boleyn Girl as there is in The Tudors I would totally go see it, but, sadly, I don’t think that’s the case. I guess between The Darjeeling Limited and Lost in Translation you’ve got pretty much full ass-coverage of both bowlin’ girls, so that’ll have to do.

For now.

Quote of the Day: February 19th, 2008

The problem that we face in America is not a lack of good ideas — it’s that Washington has become a place where good ideas go to die.

Barack Obama, in his victory speech tonight in Texas.

I learned the hard way not to make fun of Washington DC in public, but that quote is just delightful. I have a soft spot for “place where things go to die” humor.

That said, this guy needs to learn when to take his applause and just stop talking. His victory speech was like a half hour long. What the dooce?! You sound good, dude, but not that good. You ain’t no Alec Guinness.

Quote of the Day: January 24th, 2008

I just cant get over the fact that Manhattan was destroyed by a soft-shell crab.

My cousin Rana June, in regards to Cloverfield.

I love my family. :)

Quote of the Day: November 22nd, 2007

Steven Fisher’s wife gets the award for “Most Spot on Observation Ever”:

My brother bought a PS3 a few days ago. My wife just saw it when I was poking around at its wireless controls. She said “It looks like a panini grill.”

Steven Fisher’s wife.

I think Sony would be moving a hell of a lot more units if the thing did actually grill sandwiches. That would be awesome.

Quote of the Day: September 24th, 2007

The freest women in the world are the women of Iran.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, speaking to the National Press Club.

This guy needs his own HBO comedy special.

In “honor” of what seems to be all-day coverage of Ahmadinejad on C-SPAN2, I give you this “get your war on” comic.

Incidentally, I made the same joke, only mine isn’t nearly as funny.
