  as long as it isn’t obvious that the honeymoon couple are the killers before the opening credits are over, I’m up for it.

  Anyone who wants to hear some of the commercials that won AW the big awards should find this book in the library:

  And now a few laughs from our sponsor : the best of fifty years of radio commercials / Larry Oakner.

  It has a cd with a couple of them.

  NPR has an interview with the author and played some of the commercials. One of them is the fire ants for Ortho.

  Ah yes, Jewel. I’d do her in a second. Yum.

  What a pity Raoul Julia isn’t around to enjoy the joke : (

  Gunner, I think that’s why this sort of fell flat for me. He’s been dead for what, fifteen years? Has there been an announcement of Jewell revising the role of Gomez?

  It irritates me when I don’t get a joke. God, I’m such a crank!

  Gomez: To TORTURE ! To MAYHEM

  Morticia: TONIGHT!

  Gomez: Cara Mia !!

  But Ira, julia child wrote her book long before Raul julia died. Since the premise of the film is channelling an old tome, then it makes sense. At least I think that is what is about. I was too busy wasting money on ‘perfect getaway’ to actually see it.
  I know I’m bitching a lot about that movie, but it really is the worst thing I’ve seen in years and that includes all of the ’saw’ films. Why couldn’t they have said ‘from the creator of vin Diesel’s character Riddick’ on the ad and I wouldn’t have bothered.

  I wonder whether Jewel would transfigure into gomez adams, Mack the Knife, a latin american ‘mo. Or best yet, the fascist from ’streetfighter’!!!

  The first clue I had that Perfect Getaway was an abomination was Steve Zahn’s face. Does he not look just like Alonzo Wilder’s spinster sister on the Little House on the Prairie TV show? Pinchy face and schoolmarm spectacles! Christ, he gives me the heebie-jeebies!

  Nice ass, though.

  I’ve never been able to stomach Jewel. Everything about her is offensive to me.

• 12 Stretch99 // Aug 13, 2009 at 1:48 pm

  I’d like see Jewel dance the Mamuscha!!

  i’ve liked milla jovovich since she played the french foreign exchange student stealing Kelly bundy’s boyfriends on an early ‘married…with children’.
  During this film I realized what I liked about her is that she is nothing but a cartoon character and couldn’t think of a single role she is known for where she was anything but.
  Despite how god awful she was in this film, ‘resident evil IV’ is in the works and I’m gonna go.

  Nora Ephron

  i haven’t been able to watch one of her movies since Sleepless in Seattle. Which I thought was a load of crap.

  She is one of those women in Hollywood that make me happy I was never successful in that town. Dawn Steele, Julia Phillips a couple of others too.

  I did always want to meet Sue Mengers though…

  I liked Nora in Hopeless Pictures. Luckily, I’ve managed to avoid most movies of this ilk. I didn’t want to catch the diabetes.

  it is so bad with me, I saw a coming attraction which opened with the seattle space needle and I cringed thinking it was going to be a bad romantic comedy. This was before I found out it had jennifer aniston and Aaron eckhart. That is going to be a winner.

  By the way Seattle is filled with white flight from california, I mean the liberal Nimby closet type racists. They’ll vote for Obama, as long as they don’t have to deal with a black person in real life.
  The real ‘white power’ types move to Boise.
  Overall the pacific northwest(alaska is in there too) is the most racist part of the nation second only to the south.

  OMG it’s total swollen-bone material when Raul Julia tenderly massages unsalted butter into a tenderized pork rump while oozing over the sage cream filling. Slurp slurp!

  This makes me so happy.

  And they both are kind of dead, so it’s pure poetry.
