&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;the idea of my body getting cut up after I’m dead. I don’t like the idea. I just want to be buried under a nice grave.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;



You’d be okay with while you’re alive then? I’ll tell all the kids waiting for organs at the Children’s Hospital that we have our first human sacrifice. They’ll be so happy that they don’t have to die so that some asshole can be happy in his grave.</description><link>http://skybarn.tumblr.com/post/256365912</link><guid>http://skybarn.tumblr.com/post/256365912</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:40:42 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>ieatcatlitter:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Why is this American dressed like a spy, Mr. Bahari?” asked the new man.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“He is pretending to be a spy. It’s part of a comedy show,” I answered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Tell the truth!” Mr. Rosewater shouted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“What is so funny about sitting in a coffee shop with a kaffiyeh and sunglasses?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“It’s just a joke. Nothing serious. It’s stupid.” I was getting worried. “I hope you are not suggesting that he is a real spy.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From Maziar Bahari’s piece in the new &lt;a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/223862/page/1" target="_blank"&gt;Newsweek&lt;/a&gt;. The bit he was interrogated about by Iranian officials starts at 2:14.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’m very excited to announce that Jason Woliner and I have sold 3 movies to Judd Apatow and Universal!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One idea is tentatively titled “Let’s Do This” and is a road movie about two guys that work for a motivational speaking company.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another idea is about two disgraced astronauts who have to go back to space to clear their names.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;And the other idea is a movie based around Randy, my character for “Funny People.”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We’re currently working on all three ideas now and haven’t decided which we will go with first.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Needless to say, we are very excited to be working with Judd on these projects. Unfortunately, this does however put Jason and I’s plan to remake &lt;i&gt;Short Circuit 2&lt;/i&gt; (with myself playing the Michael McKean role in a revolutionary new makeup technique called “peachface”) on hold indefinitely.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Emphasis mine. Everything about this is awesome, but a possible RAAAAAAAANDY movie is a Thanksgiving Eve Eve miracle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This guy knows what I’m talkin’ about! This guy &lt;i&gt;definitely&lt;/i&gt; knows what I’m talkin’ about!&lt;/p&gt;

I am so fucking sick of this. It’s not that he’s been perfect so far, and not that I agree with everything he’s done, but the Left absolutely has to always be in dissent. They will never be happy unless they are outlaws. We were taught that our distrust and outrage makes us pure, and that everyone else is sheep. I’ve lived in the South, the Midwest and the Northeast for long stretches. Obama is a liberal as this country can bear, and their brains are exploding already.</description><link>http://skybarn.tumblr.com/post/255650447</link><guid>http://skybarn.tumblr.com/post/255650447</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:02:41 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>The Seinfeld Episode from Curb last night.</title><description>&lt;object width="400" height="336"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z47LZS7rhwE&amp;rel=0&amp;egm=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z47LZS7rhwE&amp;rel=0&amp;egm=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Seinfeld Episode from Curb last night.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://skybarn.tumblr.com/post/254948118</link><guid>http://skybarn.tumblr.com/post/254948118</guid><pubDate>Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:53:26 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>"But the thing that bothered me the most about this movie was actually the thing that bothers me..."</title><description>“But the thing that bothered me the most about this movie was actually the thing that bothers me about almost all movies about love triangles and infidelities, and that is the obnoxious self-absorption and the narcissistic pride in people who have cheated on others or been cheated on by others. There is something about these types of stories that is so satisfied with really getting into what “life” is all “about.” Except that that’s not what life is all about. I mean, it happens, a lot even, but life is about a lot of other things too. It is a justification to the people who cheat, as in “we are all human and therefore your miserable and disrespectful behavior can be chalked up to the silly quirks of our natures,” and it is also a justification to the people who want to wallow in the personal misery of what was done to them. Love triangle dramas are basically stoner comedies. There is something in your life that you think gives you a better understanding of the world, and that grants you access to an exciting club. Except that you don’t know anything more about life, you’re just as hurt and confused as everyone else, and your club is self-destructive, solipsistic, and stupid. You should get a better club!”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://videogum.com/archives/the_hunt_for_the_worst_movie_of_all_time/the_hunt_for_the_worst_movie_o_78_102461.html" target="_blank"&gt;Closer - The Hunt For The Worst Movie Of All Time - Videogum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
