Oh lordy. Winstonfield is in danger of becoming a republican tool.

Ok, let's agree on something pertinent Mr. Pennypacker; all the congresspeople/senators who vote for these bills should have to take the healthcare provided by them if it passes. If they vote against the bill they should have to give up their current healthcare in favor of what they can get in the marketplace.

Once they actually have a horse in the race there might be meaningful reforms.

Wow! That girl is just so amazing. And I have to say, I believe this is the best I've heard from the band (they've never quite seemed up to Beth's speed, IMO).

That said, she definitely leaves me with mixed feelings. From a purely auditory standpoint, she deserves all the success in the world, but like it or not, the real world won't let that be the only criteria (maybe not even the biggest). It's not so much that she's fat (although that's a definite strike against her chances of commercial success), as that in so many of their performances, she seems to go out of her way to be...the only word I can come up with is "repulsive". It's almost like she's trying hard to sabotage any hope of real commercial success. Maybe she is...or maybe I'm reading too much into a mindset I just don't share (punk attitudes, fashions, body mods and ink have never been appealing to me).

But lordy, that lady can sing.

Oh lordy! That chimp reacts to falling off a board just like I do.

lordy, call an Exorcist!

What happens if you play this backwards?

Lordy lordy!

Lordy, this is an excellent video and lovely animation.

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.

Lordy-Lou, after about a year of visits and six months of VS membership, I can finally point to a post by Choggie that I a) understand and b) agree with. Be on the lookout for men on horseback, about four of them...

@ dgandhi: Let me be clear. These folks have the right to protest. I would never dream of altering the first amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Now, I'm not sure how many foot-pounds of pressure was the blow to your head that made you think tackling a cop is civil, but I assure you: it is not.

Is it possible to assemble peacefully in 2008? By that, I mean: is there no situation where all cops being called on "protest duty" wouldn't misinterpret a genuinely peaceful protest and thus...begin knocking heads? Probably not but then, I'm a cynic.

CD is not all about sitting down and taking your beating, that's just the state propaganda line attempting to convince everybody that if they don't take their beating they are being "violent".

This argument is similar to Bush apologists saying "Well, what would you have him do? Run screaming from the classroom, frightening the children?" Uhh, yeah, because that's the only other response, right? Fuckin' DUH.

I think there's something between what we see in the video and what you describe as "sitting down and taking your beating." Can you make an effort to evolve this lame argument? Preesh.

With message board posts like these, you've got to say it, point out that you said it, and then say it again before it's absorbed. So here goes.

I do not disagree with the protesters choice to fight the police. I'd like to see more footage of this particular event to be better-informed, but given the way force has been used by the police in the last 10 years, I think it's safe to say the Police cause more problems during protests than they solve.

What I disagree with is calling what happened here 'Civil Disobedience' and that is all.

Lordy, what a struggle, but thanks to y'all, I made it! Welcome newest co-dependent! Get a comfortable chair and your snack roster in order...

Wow, vinovinP, you put me over the edge! Great start!

Now, I know there's been some unrest lately, and I don't want to fan the flames, but...

I Am Leaving VideoSift. You'll find me here with Choggie. V

this bulbcam is the shit!-been watchin' it for hours now..."



It's very zen.

Lordy...I can't even get through a single olbermann clip without visibly cringing and clicking anything to escape. I just cannot stand to hear this vain man stroke his own ego and call it news. I'm not a fan of o'reilly either...but Olbermann needs to get a life...

I had this album when I was a girl Lordy, what was she thinking cutting her hair

Oh my lordy lordy, that was funny... brilliant stuff.
