Yeah I know, i'm a 24 carat hypocrite. And i'm pretty. Maybe I should just shut up and stop bitching and moaning. Or maybe bea should wait til she's off the rag to post comments

YES A FUCKING CAT FIGHT IN MY VERY OWN SIFT TALK!!! I'll be outside filling the kiddie pool with whipped cream.

>> ^Throbbin:
Sorry dudes. I wasn't aware we were only allowed 1 at a time. I just thought y'all didn't like doing polls. I'm glad you said something, or I woulda just kept doing it.


We like polls. I think the powers that be put a limit on polls so we didn't go poll crazy like we tend to do at times. But now that it's tested and true you should be able to put your lighthearted poll along side a serious sift related poll. What say ye sifter G's?

>> ^Ornthoron:
I too am getting a little annoyed at the rush of polls having nothing to do with the Sift, since I was planning to start a poll about something siftwhile. The FAQ has this to say about polls:
Create a poll to:
get community input on questions or ideas related to VideoSift
question points of Sift etiquette
plan a real life meetup
consider other constructive concepts related to the community

I was planning to bitch about it too, but I didn't want to be a partypooper like rottenseed.

I shit on parties for a living, so for me it's just another day in the office.

Simply tag it: "Bogart joins the war on terror... America's new policy on torture."

the definitive Bogart reference
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbY9ePebWB8

No, Bogart can refer to anything being hogged. 'Phelpsing' refers to drugs. For example, "Quit Phelpsin' that spliff, yo".

Not gonna let him "bogart" him? Isn't that a drug term?

Gah, that's awesome.. I am jealous! How long does that trip take, usually?

Sailboat Crew. Still do. Norfolk, VA to Bermuda in May. Can't wait. I can stare at empty sea forever.

Haha! That worked out then, eh. Interesting story to it. So you worked on a boat back then? EndAll was just what I pulled out of my arse when I was signing up here. No meaning behind it, really. I often use the username "intrinsick" on other sites, though.

When I was a young man I was nicknamed "smiley", which the Skipper, a kind of Bogart-ish character, pronounced "schmi-wee" and then finally to "shmaw-ee", because of the lucky strike that was perpetually in the corner of his mouth. You never had much choice in what you were called, and I was fortunate because I liked it.

And End-All?

Much love, schmawy!

Where'd that name originate, anyways?

If you get around to watching it, lemme know what'cha think. You may get a kick out of Jullianne Moore's role.

Sam Rockwell is the shit! Anyone that plays Zaphod Beeblebrox is cool in my book. Though my favorite role of his has gotta be Chuck Barris in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind -- Love that movie sooo much. Which brings to mind a genius writer (Charlie Kaufman) and an actor/director who is both over and underrated: George Clooney. I love half of his work (inevitably the underrated stuff) and the other half I could do without.

Diane Keaton, Nicholas Cage, Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks, etc. etc. Don't do it for me either. Though Cage Occasionally gets it right. (Or maybe it's the writers.) Mel, Mel, Mel -- what scares me about him is that his true personality may be Martin Riggs, but with a touch of the religious zealot. Definitely not a good combination. I would be careful not to harm his dog.

Favorite actors... Oh my, where to begin. So many decades of cinema to recall! To avoid a carbon copy of your list -- all noteworthy thesbians -- I'll fill in some of the missing pieces: The Marx Brothers (I love them all equally), Hepburn's flame, Spencer Tracy, the other Hepburn, Audrey (mostly because of those eyes), Cary Grant, Humprey Bogart (Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon are films that I can watch from any point and be satisfied completely for every second the films goes by), Lauren Bacall (Ze Big Sleep; dear lordy, more top ten material), Clark Gable, Gary Oldman (You said it, but he's too good and far too underappreciated to not mention), Helena Bonham Carter (another one I CANNOT avoid mentioning -- a dark favorite of mine: Morgan le Fay, Elizabeth Frankenstein, Ophelia, Anne Boleyn -- dear GOD, she's a even a freakin' death eater. She has to be a reader.), Elliot Gould (More noir favorites), Michael Gambon (brilliant), Alan Rickman, Edward Norton, Tim Roth, Brad Pitt, lil' Dakota Fanning, Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, and Dennis Hopper -- I think that's the cast of Blue Velvet, another potential top ten movie with top ten actors lol. Maybe we should make lists of the people we DON'T like... on second thought... (Sorry, this got long.)

Yes! Mothersbaugh, of course. Wes Anderson's pocket composer and devolution advocate. Don't forget Sigur Ros, either. That's the part of the movie where yer supposed to cry. I heart those Icelanders. A Bowie fan too. David Bowie is my best friend's father.

Make up a top 5 real quick. (No pressure.)

In reply to this comment by thepinky:
You're right. I have about 15 or so that are floating around in my favorites list. My top movies are not neccesarily the best ones I've seen. Like you said, they are the ones that I have an emotional connection to.

Wes Anderson is awesome but I haven't seen all of his films yet. My favorite so far is also The Life Aquatic. I love those covers. The Mark Mothersbaugh numbers are awesome, too. The scene where Steve introduces his boat and crew, accompanied by Mothersbaugh's "Let Me Tell You About My Boat" is one of my favorite scenes. I also really liked The Royal Tenenbaums.

Oh, underappreciated and overrated actors. It is relatively easy for me to rattle off some of my favorite actors. Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, and Ingrid Bergman are definitely in the top 5. Other actors I love off of the top of my head: Gary Oldman, Anjelica Huston, Gregory Peck, Katharine Hepburn, Bruce Willis (most people love him for the wrong reasons), Bill Murray, Charlie Chaplin, Helena Bonham Carter (I love how much her older stuff contrasts with her more recent roles. She's great.), John Goodman (I have always had a thing for this guy. He is a pleasure to watch.), James Stewart, Topol (I've only seen him in Fiddler but it is one of my favorite performances EVAR), Henry Fonda, Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Oliver Reed. This list was about 5 times as long before I cut it down. You're welcome.

I'm sure you're the same way that I am with actors. Sometimes I love them because they are truly great actors and sometimes I love them because they are good actors and you just enjoy watching them for whatever reason. I admit that one of the reasons that I love Newman, Brando, and Bergman is because they are all incredibly sexy. They also happen to be exceptional actors. Who are your favorites?

Severely overrated: Meg Ryan, Diane Keaton (used to be okay, now I can't stand her), Nicolas Cage (liked him in Matchstick Men...which reminds me that I love Sam Rockwell), Keira Knightly, and there is something about Mel Gibson's acting that seems...is it insincere? Affected? All I know is that something is off with him and I'm not a fan.

I'll rent The Big Lebowski one of these days.

Wait, Griffith is alive?!
I figured they used some of that fancy brig'em back from the dead CGI, like they did with Bogart in that commercial.
..and Don't tell me Bogie is alive too.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

She's smoked pot? Oh no, it was probably some of that Matanuska Thunder Fuck - her mind is no longer fit for any office - ask deathcow.

Seriously though, I think I remember getting high with her behind the mall in high school. She bogarted - lost my vote.

Well on the plus side there is this:
Palin admitting that she had tried [marijuana]. "I can't claim a Bill Clinton and say that I never inhaled," she said at the time.
But then again, she hates polar bears:
"extending protection to the polar bear under the Endangered Species Act is unwarranted and will hinder Alaska's gas industry and offshore drilling development."
nice one, you cunt.
