Does it make me a bad person to be ridiculously amused that Britney Spears’ 16 year old sister is pregnant? I’m sure it does, but still…the girl is on Nickelodeon for fuck’s sake! Only the Spears’ shallow ended gene pool could give us the first knocked up kids TV star. Well, that we know of, I guess.
So that’s news.
Kind of a rough day today. It’s cleared up, I guess, but there’s just a lot of crap in the air right now.
Watched “Balls of Fury,” after a friend of mine told me it sucked. Turns out he was right, which makes me sad, because it had so much potential. I guess really good, out there comedies like “Anchorman” and “Talladega Nights,” as well as ridiculous yet touching movies like “Superbad” and “40 year old Virgin” have spoiled me. I mean, it had a great cast and premise, but it couldn’t tell if it was going to be (yes, get ready for it) balls-out slapstick or a slightly plausible comedy. It straddled the white line and got hit by a truck. Continuing the metaphor, many of the jokes were so obvious that you could see them coming like a truck with its highbeams on.
I was watching Pulp Fiction earlier tonight while working on a script, and I was thinking how interesting it’d be to do a comic adaptation of it. It almost started out as a writing exercise in my head, figuring out the panel and word balloon breaks, as well as what particular shot or angle you’d use, but then I started to get really into it, thinking that the very beginning, right up to when Jules and Vincent start shooting would be one issue, and then the next would start when marsellus is talking to Butch, and then ending with the shot of Mia’s feet before they go to Jack Rabbit slims, and then the thrid the parking lot at JRS through Vince discovering her OD’ing body, and the next him going to Lance’s house and then ending at the end of that chapter and so on and so forth. If I was dumber and more ridiculous, I’d try it, but I’m not as daring as Chris, who started his own webcomic the other day. It’s charming and daring, and in no way ridiculous.
Which is me, drinking White Zinfendel, listening to Carrie Underwood on the radio and cackling in my head over the latest Spears family trailer resident.
Ridiculous.
