While our country is falling apart and the cretins are terrorizing the old and the sickly, here’s your president Barack Obama with a bunch of … movie directors. Jesus, this guy. What next, having Spielberg show E.T. to Reagan in the White House? Anyway, this scene looks familiar ….

Jesus Christ. Clinton killed Vince Foster. Obama killed Laura Palmer. We need a Republican back in office, stat, to stop the slaughter.
Wow. I’ve never seen the inside of an opium den before.
I need some damn good coffee.
Is Michelle Bachman the Log Lady?
The gum you like is going to come back in style.
[re=532880]wendykat123[/re]: I wish I had a grilfriend who thiks the same with me. But then again, we were never that close of friends. Save are teachers.
I spy Tom Hanks, there. This must be a clubhouse meeting of The Worshippers of World War II.
[re=532882]coolcatdaddy[/re]: That is an excellent observation. She may know nothing, but her log has seen things.
cynbot I LOL’d! I needed this today. I <3 U Ken.
[re=532881]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]:
Pete Martell: Mr. Cooper, how do you take it?
Dale Cooper: Black as midnight on a moonless night.
Pete Martell: Pretty black
Is that the taco bell chihuahua in the front row, back from the dead?
[re=532894]wendykat123[/re]: Jesus. Even the spambot is getting all David Lynchian up in here.
[re=532880]wendykat123[/re]: So, this age gap dating site of which you speak….by “age gap” you mean the age gap between a 50 year old Republican and the 8 year old boy who thinks the same with him?
[re=532896]MARCdMan[/re]: Yo soy Taco Bell!
[re=532880]wendykat123[/re]: Age Mingle @ coma? What? I knew your boyfriend was old, but now I hear he’s in a coma? How much fun is that? No. Never mind. I don’t want to know any more.
B. Hussein has always been a jelly donut freak….we should have known. “Damn good coffee”
Needs more popcorn and good’nplenty
Maybe they’ll discover that Lieberman didn’t turn to douchebaggery of his own will, but was possessed by BOB.
Remember, the owls are not what they seem.
Obviously hanging out in a RED(!) room with a bunch of Hollywood elites. Communists!
Barack = Cooper
Biden = Cooper’s deafened FBI mentor
McCain = Leland Palmer
Palin = Nadine
[re=532880]wendykat123[/re]: I feel like I know her, but sometimes my arms bend back.
It’s not nice to make fun of Robert Reich.
Is that Dennis Kucinich in the second pic?
[re=532898]Boojum[/re]: They both like Pokemon, for horrifyingly different reasons.
Obama’s telling Spielberg and Hanks that they’re doing it all wrong.
damn good cherry pie!!!![re=532882]coolcatdaddy[/re]: and no she cant be the log lady…the log lady was sane!!!!
[re=532912]JMP[/re]: No, some men are born to douchebaggery. others have it thrust upon them. In Joe Lizardmans is case of the former, he’s got douchebaggery in his genes,
I mean,,,just look at him,,,
Speaking of little people, ever see the amazing movie “Living in Oblivion” where the dwarf (played by the guy in pic 2) breaks out of character and starts complaining that whenever a director wants to express “weirdness,” he always uses a dwarf? Great scene, great movie. Steve Buscemi and the irresistible Catherine Keener.
Movies about making movies ought to be lame (like first novels about a sensitive young writer’s journey to publication…e.g., Marcel Proust), but are often wonderful, like “The Player” and “Day for Night.”
[re=532919]Escape Goat Nation[/re]:
No, he is asking when they are going to open a Second Front Now! in Russia.
“This suit Burns better!”
[re=532922]dijetlo[/re]: Verily, and in truth, Joe Lizardmans voice speaketh with the voice of douchebaggery.
Fun fact: Sherilyn Fenn (nee Audrey Horne) was shooting an awful horror movie ont the campus of mine alma mater the weekend of graduation. Total bitch. Crazy hot, tho.
[re=532928]Douglas1984[/re]: And I thought I was OT!
So Spielberg, Hanks and Obama get the big cushy chairs with ottomans, while the rest of the audience, including Hanks’ wife among others, can suck it? More elitist ivy-league reparations from NOOBAMA.
On an unrelated matter, I am excited to see Wonkett become my one stop shopping option. Now I’ll never have to leave home again, except for the flashing and such.
[re=532928]Douglas1984[/re]: Trendy handbags? Washington women shrivel up and die at the word “trendy.”
Trendy’s just another word for cheap. Also.
Ya know, that top picture sorta looks like a bunch of socialists are getting together to plot the takeover of the world. I’m just sayin’.
And where is Ron Howard?
Normally, I’m not too bad on keeping up with the cultural references, but I am lost on this thread. Who is this log lady of whom you speak, does she really make a good cherry pie and coffee, and why does she have a boyfriend who is 8 years old.
[re=532949]gurukalehuru[/re]: And who’s this “Xenu” guy everyone keeps talking about? Sounds interesting!
[re=532944]Mr Blifil[/re]: Even ones age gap dating needs are tended to.
[re=532927]V572625694[/re]: I’m with you on The Player. Day for Night, eh, Truffaut is way overrated IMHO. Luis Bunuel or GTFO.
“Empire of the Sun” is highly underrated…also.
True Story.
True Story!
At work, our department had a lunch meeting where the engineers were getting introduced to some new manager type of person. For some reason he wanted everyone in the room to talk a little about themselves and name their favorite movie. Caddy Shack seemed to come up a lot. I said Eraser Head. The new guy gave me a blank look and said I’ve never heard of that movie. Good times.
[re=532887]bitchincamaro[/re]: I know, huh. Look at him all smug and comfortable in his perch.
I’d still do him raw. Hey Rita, look over there! Isn’t that a Gyro?
Hey Tom, how you doin?
[re=532949]gurukalehuru[/re]: It’s really hard to explain Twin Peaks if you weren’t there for it.
[re=532955]Escape Goat Nation[/re]: Little Christian Bale was so adorable. What happened?
Good God. Wonkette’s been taken over by people who wear all black and refer to movies as “films.”
[re=532882]coolcatdaddy[/re]:
The Log Lady makes more sense than does Michelle Bachman.
Hey, do I spy young master Colin Hanks there behind daddy? Yummy. Or maybe one of his little bros? Hrmn. So much handsome in that gene pool…..
Goodness, I haven’t finished my coffee yet this AM and I already need another shower. Cold, preferably.
[re=532949]gurukalehuru[/re]:
Just go out and rent every David Lynch film ever made (yes, I said film), take some acid, watch them back to back and write to us after you’re done.
[re=532962]the problem child[/re]: Crap. That sounded all condescending and black turtlenecky. Wasn’t meant to.
[re=532954]gurukalehuru[/re]: Okay, he’s completely different from Bunuel, but my favorite director right now is Pedro Almadovar. Just about everything he’s done, from Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown on is pure genius. David Lynch — well, his work doesn’t do that much for me.
[re=532955]Escape Goat Nation[/re]: Agreed. I prefer that film to Schindler (puts on black turtleneck, and opens Cahier du Cinema).
[re=532957]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: First time I saw Eraserhead, I didn’t sleep for a week. And if you really want good times, try explaining what Inland Empire is about to friends who haven’t seen it. Or even to those who have.
[re=532977]FMA[/re]: I meant to add that I usually lose them when I get to the people with the bunny heads.
[re=532914]Jar Jar Was a Senator[/re]: Agreed. Also:
Boehner = Windom Earle
Emanuel = Benjamin Horne
Kerry = Big Ed Hurley
Hillary = Catherine Martell
Bill Clinton = Pete Martell
Commie Muslin Liberals = Bob

Now see, that almost sounds like it could have been a Lynch line. Way to make the spam on-topic!
To answer your questions, I have thought to make our lives easier ever; an you need to go to a tailor to adjust fashionable clothes people’s taste.
[re=532957]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: I am afraid of Erasorhead. It makes me think I am insane, you see, because as I watch it, I am completely convinced that I must be hallucinating it, because, so my mind goes, it is simply impossible that anyone could have imagined it, written it, and made it into a movie. In other words, I simply don’t beleive that what I am seeing can possibly be real, which forces me to conclude I must be insane and hallucinating.
I love The Angriest Dog in the World, though.
[re=532985]Prommie[/re]: This is where the acid helps.
[re=532977]FMA[/re]: Had a teacher once who told the class that movies/theater didn’t necessarily have to be about anything. When you go to a concert, he said, the music doesn’t mean anything but you still enjoy it/are affected by it.
My sister, on the other hand, gets irate if a movie doesn’t have a clear narrative.
[re=532931]Franklin Pierce & Pierce[/re]: !burns’S suiT !burns’S suiT
[re=532975]SayItWithWookies[/re]: The trouble with Lynch, is he relies a little too much on his weird gimmicks, and it disrupts the narrative flow, even if does add a nice dose of jolt-you-out-of-your-passive-movie-watcher-comfort-zone. See *one* Lynch movie and you’re all kinda “Whoa!” See them *all* and your all kinda “Been there, done that.”
Anywhoo, “The Straight Story” was may his best movie (yet?), and big ups on “Fire Walk with Me” and “Mulholland Drive,” for the boobies. Excellent boobies.
[re=532985]Prommie[/re]: For extra fun, get some expectant parents to watch it with you and examine their reactions.
[re=532991]Autoo[/re]: Fuck that shit! Velvet! Blue Velvet!
[re=532914]Jar Jar Was a Senator[/re]: hahahah exactly.
[re=532927]V572625694[/re]: Pretty sure the Living in Oblivion little person is the amazing Peter Dinklage, from the Station Agent/Elf/Death at a Funeral/etc. Still appropriate commentary, though.
[re=532963]Downtheroadapiece[/re]: Once you’ve been molested by John Malkovich it’s fucking hard to recover.
I am sorry about the fucking spam monsters who seem to be replicating within the comments. They’ve apparently come up with a few new idiot tricks to fool the spam filters, but now the spam filters know about it, the end.
[re=532994]Jerk Cade[/re]: My husband and I will still randomly pull out the line:
“Don’t you FUCKING LOOK AT ME!”
Good times.
MOORDER…MOORDER…MOORDER..
[re=532994]Jerk Cade[/re]: Oh, that’s right! How could I forget Isabella Rosellini’s boobies? Also my introduction the the delicious Laura Dern.
my, this is some good apple pie.
Douglas firs.
[re=532957]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: In that context, the answer is always Requiem for a Dream.

[re=533020]Lake Affected[/re]: That, and tells Obama that it is his destiny to kill that Kurgan guy, or take down Skynet, or something – I fell asleep watching the late movie again.
godammit, Little Mike is a *midget*, not a dwarf.

David Lynch is the prophet of our times. As soon as Rabbits starts being shown on regular primetime, as a reality show, I’ll know we’ve reached the Promised Land.
[re=532985]Prommie[/re]: My dad made me watch Eraserhead when I was four. It was the last good thing he did for me.
[re=532877]cynbot[/re]: Wow, thanks for that– the show FINALLY makes some sense!
Damn, Tom Hanks is good in everything.
Although, if you have been watching FOX, you would know that he is in fact a commie who hates the American Troops because he believes that we reduced the Japanese to a caricature in propaganda during World War II, and that we might be doing the same to Muslims today. As Bill O’REilly has pointed out, we in fact only fought the Japanese because we loved them.
[re=532949]gurukalehuru[/re]: It’s damn fine pie.
[re=532914]Jar Jar Was a Senator[/re]: But who will play David Duchovny’s cross-dressing DEA agent?
[re=532927]V572625694[/re]: Three for three on movies about movies. I would include “Irma Vep” but I adore Maggie Cheung so that skews my view.
[re=533047]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: That’s just the elevator pitch for the new Hanks project.
I recently watched Twin Peaks on The Chiller Channel on Dish Network. Defintely is not as good the second time around.
I love it when you guys make Twin Peaks references.
Joe Lieberman is very clearly the midget.
I’ve always wondered what the inside of a brothel looked like. Now I know.
Does anyone else think Tom Hanks would make an excellent President? He’s just so damn endearing. And hell, if Reagan can do it, imagine if we actually elected someone who could act!
Those look like damn comfortable chairs, in the front. I guess they get less cushy as they go back to the church bench against the far wall.
[re=533054]donner_froh[/re]: [re=532927]V572625694[/re]: I remember “The Stunt Man” as being pretty cool. But I saw it when I was a teenager and not necessarily very discriminating.
[re=532877]cynbot[/re]: Be quiet on the idea that Obama killed Laura Palmer because if the Republicans take over, they’ll use it as an excuse to start some House Investigations. Could be hard for the Republicans, though, as I don’t think the dwarf would be able testify and they’ll be able to find the giant alien. I’m sure though that if there’s a hearing, it’ll be set to really atmospheric music.
[re=533004]Ken Layne[/re]: I’ve seen the exact same spammer on message boards about Lost over the past couple of days so whomever they are, they’ve been pretty busy. They did have an interesting idea theory about the meaning of the alt-reality so I’ll have to give them that.
[re=533077]Holy Cow!![/re]: I was in your position once, until “a friend” told me what they were like…
Dammit, how can I understand and applaud all of your wendykat witticisms if the bitchbot has been banned?!
[re=532927]V572625694[/re]: Love that movie! When it started again for the second time, it blew my mind. In the most awesome, cheesy way possible.
[re=533023]kinginyellow[/re]: I can’t believe I agree with Ronnie.
Now, Part IV: The Voyage Home? Cinema Gold.
[re=532975]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Almadovar, si!
[re=532937]zombiedaddy[/re]: I run into Sherilyn (former sweet ingenue and ex-wife of Matt Groening) on a regular basis, and I can assure you, she is no longer “hot.” Brutal and bitter is more like it. But hey, that’s Hollywood, baby.
Obama, beware the Crimson Room. That wallpaper is the color of blood for a damn good reason.
[re=533511]Beanball[/re]: Ah, scratch that. I’m drunk and jealous, she was never involved with Groening. That was that dip Prince.
[re=533008]Autoo[/re]: Ah, Isabella Rosellini. Another Quasimodo. Also with great boobies, also. But I bet she doesn’t have to use comical Igor-twisping thpeeth and snark to lure in potential dates, what with all her fame and money and all. Also. Oh, and Terry Pratchett rules, too.
