I just watched Escape From Alcatraz for the seven billionth time this month.

The single complaint I have for the movie was when Clarence Anglin says at the table, "Is it true nobody's ever broke outta here?" His delivery is horrible of that line. Rest of the movie is fantastic.

Personally, I think this wine tastes like sh*t. I'd rather drink a milkshake for taste but that won't intoxicate my mind in a fuzzy warmth.

I am slowly getting drunk on Chardonnay. This is a rare occasion.

Schaedenfreude


I like this one.

Though, I prefer the way I remembered the lyrics to the actual lyrics...

Haha, that's happened to me with a few songs. I still sing my own version if I really like them better.   Cheesy

If every word I said
Could make you laugh
I'd talk forever
I ask the sky just what we had
Mmm It shone forever
If the song I sing to you
Could fill your heart with joy
I'd sing forever

The words are a bit different, but it's from the song "Forever" which is on the Sunflower album.

I can count the number of times that I've been drunk on two hands.  Cheesy

Congratulations. Where are my medals? I need to pin one on you for being such an accomplished alchy.

I think you misunderstood my post.

Did the other Beach Boys share Mike's thoughts? If it were my band member doing this I'd quietly remove him and finish the speech myself in a nicer tone.

Nevertheless, Mike is hilarious here.

It's a great comedy.

"It is, to use a present tense vernacular, da bomb."

I would love to meet V.D.P. Seems like a fantastic guy.
38  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: Newbies on: July 15, 2006, 02:29:20 PM
I consider myself a newbie still and to be honest, it brings me more happiness to see constant attention (whether learned or not) going to the band that we all love. As you said, new fans are keeping it all alive and kicking.

I haven't wrote anything of substance concerning the band, no one will remember my thoughts as being insightful or inspiring, but that band's music has been a very close friend to me.
39  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: Favorite Movies on: July 15, 2006, 12:19:14 PM
Punch-Drunk, Ghost and Bull too.

Ok, Ian...I have a question.  What was your thought on that initial car accident in the film?  I mean, on the surface it just seems so random, but obviously its symbolic of something.  I just always take it as an analogy for Barry.  The car is just coming down the road, drawing no attention to itself, and then out of nowhere, basically explodes and everybody turns to see what the hell is happening.

I could be completely off-base, but again, it was just my interpretation on the scene.

I think that about sums that up. The most puzzling part for me was the harmonium. I haven't seen the movie in about two years (really need to get the dvd). By the way, what was the main theme music in that movie?

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see that it was asked of Ian.

You mention "Punch Drunk Love" and I have to agree. That movie was fantastic.

Also, last night I watched The Cable Guy and The Big Lebowski, and both are becoming new favorites.
41  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: Worst live act you've ever seen in person. on: July 15, 2006, 11:38:52 AM
I've been to a ton of local shows and most of those bands aren't that great. It's more of a scene than a genuine want to make good music, so it doesn't bother me at all.

Worst famous band I've seen was the Vines who were supported by Seether and the Music. All of them were pretty much terrible. Should've been called "The U.S Poser Tour" and it would've been more fitting.
42  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: Should the Sandbox exist? on: July 15, 2006, 11:05:45 AM
Let it exist for entertainments sake. Screw Pro Wrestling, this place has all the action!
43  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: BWPS: How much input did Brian have? on: July 14, 2006, 05:42:09 PM
There's some Ronnettes stuff like that.
44  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Mike Love On Brian Wilson on: July 14, 2006, 02:07:02 PM
Sounds about right.

What compels a person to wear so many large rings?
45  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: BWPS: How much input did Brian have? on: July 14, 2006, 01:54:54 PM
I think I would prefer hearing Brian and Van doing their interpretation of the album soley at the the piano rather than all of the studio recordings. I listen to the "Heroes/Barnyard/Great Shape" demo more than the sessions themselves. They're more animated.
46  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: Tolstoy's Confession on: July 14, 2006, 01:39:28 PM
Read that before. His conclusions are vague and circumstantial.
47  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: New SandboxTGIF thread featuring well known Brazillian fashion model in the on: July 14, 2006, 01:36:26 PM
Ah, a brazillian fashion model in the sand. Joy.
48  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: sugarandspice on: July 14, 2006, 11:39:09 AM
Well, that made me feel like crap.
49  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / Smiley Smilers Who Make Music / Re: Baseball's on! (a new little cover) on: July 14, 2006, 11:35:00 AM
That was pretty darn good, Luther. I like the backing vocals a lot.

I'm not familiar with the BW version of this so I can't tell if the Love You-like production is your doing or BW's.

Really nice though, doesn't sound drunk at all either.
50  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: sugarandspice on: July 14, 2006, 11:13:15 AM
I'm sorry, I realize that you are all well beyond this part of the discussion (and just slightly off of the original topic), but may I set the record straight on one point? Okay, I will anyway.


Then there was that black girlfriend Brian had in the 70's or at some point, and every other Beach Boy wanted them to break up and were embarrassed to see Brian holding her hand, etc.



This is a completely erroneous assertion. The reason for their alarm at Brian's relationship with Carolyn Williams had absolutely nothing to do with race. Brian's friends and family were opposed to yet another one of his health care providers taking advantage of him. If anyone of them was to be totally blunt and honest, they would tell you that they initially had much the same aversion to his current wife as well.

Hmm, I was going by what I had read in "Heroes and Villains" which I guess is not the first place I should have turned to for concrete truth.
