My power points will be recharged in about 20 hours, so I'll get on it then. I'll space them apart by a couple of hours. I've learned that promotes do better when there's only one or two at the top of a page rather than five or six. I'll do my best to be strategic.

In fact you nabbed both first and second place. I will give you your two promotes as soon as I can, which will be in approximately 6 hours. Whatever you want me to promote, I will.

Oh come on, people, stop praising every person for being introspective and deep for making a cartoon set to weepy music. It's a fun little cartoon, I'll give you that, but am I the only one that thought he was quick to give up on his dreams? The guy graduates in 2001 and by 2001 he's ready to throw in the towel and become a school art teacher because of 9/11. Way to give it the ol' Canadian try there buddy. Pansies. That's why they never gained their independence from England until 1982!
Oh wait, is this not still Zifnab's roast? No? Oh. Shit.


It really is a shame that a fan of Peter Sellers and marijuana could be such a "tawdry" chap. Then again, my brother is a fan of Douglas Adams and retains the Christian upbringing instilled upon us from birth. Humans are such silly creatures.

I *must* find that documentary, I had no idea Peter Sellers did this, I found that clip absolutely hilarious.

He was a grade A jibbering psycho loony genius.

Just in case it wasn't obvious - that's Geoffrey Rush playing Sellers in "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers". Rush is a pretty good actor, but he's no Peter Sellers. It's weird to me that he's remembered most for The Pink Panther movies. I liked them, but I always prefer to remember him in things like "Dr. Strangelove", "The Ladykillers", and "Being There".

...hey, don't forget Peter Sellers as Clare Quilty -TV writer and
Dr. Zempf Beardsley High School psychologist

and Spartacus

"one of the only black and white movies that still holds it's weight today"? You need to see more movies then.

But anyway, I like what Kubrick said about working with Peter Sellers in three roles in this movie: "We got 3 actors for the price of 5".

Up vote for the Peter Sellers reference.

Cato is the most brilliant idea ever, for those of you who havent seen these fantastic movies (ONLY the ones starring Peter Sellers, anything else pink panther is useless) Cato is inspector Clouseau's personal "trainer", hired by Clouseau himself to attack him at his own home at any given time. By Clouseau's logic this is helpful because he always has to keep his guard up. Of course everytime he does come home, he begs cato not to attack him just this once, but Cato is ofcourse under a standing order to ignore such requests..

From a fansite, but said nicely:

In 1971, Jerzy Kosinski published the novel Being There. Soon afterwards he received a telegram from its lead character, Chance the Gardener: "Available in my garden or outside of it." A telephone number followed and when Kosinski dialed it Peter Sellers answered.

For years afterwards, Sellers would try to get this film made. "That's me!" he would tell people of the Chance character. He hawked the idea of a film to whomever he could find. Finally, in 1979, with the clout he had gained from the Pink Panther series, he was able to fulfill his dream.

What followed was the culmination of Peter Sellers' career: a masterpiece of double-edged satire on politics and television. But Kosinki's screenplay goes deeper than that. What he and director Hal Ashby expose is a self-serving and self-deceived society. Through the innocence of the Chance character, all the schemes and manipulations of the world are laid bare for what they are: pure folly. For those who hunger for the truths in life, this is a film that will satisfy your appetite.

I couldn't find my favorite clip: Chance is with the Shirley MacClaine character, who is coming on to him. Chance says only, "I like to watch" (meaning television) but the lady takes it upon herself to interpret this to mean that she should enjoy herself on her own, while he watched. Even after a huge orgasm, Chance never notices..Seller's face during that scene is priceless...

Anyway, here's my submission to "Great moments in cinema!"

Last summer I rented "The Life & Death of Peter Sellers" starring Geoffrey Rush. The film included some of the behind the scenes drama of the making of "Dr. Strangelove." According to the drama, Peter Sellars was originally supposed to play a fourth role, but he was having difficulty with the part. Slim Pickens ended up in the role.


I rented "Dr. Strangelove" after finishing the Peter Sellars video.

Seeing this reminded me just how long it's been since Steve Martin was funny. Peter Sellers is still spinning in his Condo made of Stone-A
