Weekly

I didn't keep the Weekly thing working this week. I think I'm just going to post stuff as it comes up, which, like ShadyURL, people seem to like or which, like Kevin "Fat Fat Fat" Smith's adventure, stop being interesting a week later. Anyway, here's the stale shit I should have posted no later than yesterday.

Also, I believe Buzz made a contribution to the blog's title banner. Glorious. *applauds*

A.V Club collects a long list of movies, music, arts (etc), that people were once misguidedly in love with. Items that particularly resonate with me: Ferris Bueller, Donnie Darko, and American Beauty. I'm not sure what to add, but, how about movies I bought and never watched: Silence of the Lambs, Planet Terror, and Ghostbusters 1 and 2. You got anything that comes to mind? (2/12)

Kevin Smith got kicked from a plane for being too fat (he reminds me of Buzz with more money, fewer apologies, and less chronic pain). My understanding is, whatever the seating policy, air captains have final authority on everything; which sounds like a cop-out because it is. As it is, Kevin is daring them to bring the row of seats on Daily Show so he can demonstrate himself lowering the armrests and buckling his seatbelt. Personally, I've flown the same Southwest flight from Oakland to Burbank, which I bring up for no other reason than that I am thus worldly. (2/14)

This week in violence: Sound-off on your top five stand-up comedians who are better known as actors that you want to see get ass-fucked by a coke-snorting mule. Mine:

1. Chevy Chase, for never having been funny at any time ever
2. Jerry Seinfeld, who may not really fit this category but nevertheless deserves to get donkey-raped
3. Jay Mohr, for his Chris Walken impersonation
4. Kevin Pollack, for general douchebaggery despite a decent Chris Walken impersonation
5. Paul Reiser, for taking Jay Leno's side in a particularly douchbaggy way, for Mad About You, and most especially for that shitty open theme music to Mad About You you want us all to think you wrote. Douche.

Regarding Buzz: It is funny, for all the complaining about how Facebook and Twitter only exist so people can share every bowel movement with the world, when Google actually moved to do that, there was a general panic. It turned out most social networking users only want to share certain bowel movements with certain discreet social networks. Btw: Split pea soup, 'nuff said.

Last Saturday (2/13), Google announced that they were making changes to fix the privacy shit with Buzz, and that it will be accomplished in a few days. More on the changes and how the roll out was so fucked up.

Also: is anyone using Reader or getting any bang out of the blog follow function? The blogs I "follow" haven't updated in the blogger interface in months, and Reader seems similarly laggy and disconnected from reality. Is there something worthwhile in this projects? Or do I really just have a congenital difficulty with .rss?
