Or maybe sometimes he goes to sleep before 5:30 am.

I do, but whatever happened, I didn't do it, .

I dunno.  Where is Gabe moving to?

12 ace did you go to sleep, or just get up to piss and post this thread before going to bed.

If this has something to do with llamas, it was probably me.

The Federal Reserve is set to downgrade its assessment of US economic prospects when it meets on Tuesday to discuss ways to reboot the flagging recovery.

Faced with weak economic data and rising fears of a double-dip recession, the Federal Open Market Committee is likely to ensure its policy is not constraining growth and to use its statement to signal greater concern about the economy. It is, however, unlikely to agree big new steps to boost growth.

Should we change it to Flagging Recover Summer?

16 18 Unexpected.

17 I dunno.  Where is Gabe moving to?

'Don't know, but the word around the time of the LA meetup (which I didn't attend) was that he was moving... I think back East (?) to work for an old employer.

Boiled extract of Bantha anal fissures is not a pleasant drink.

22 weekend DVD reivews...
We turned it off half way through. 

Your post reminds me to ask the moron nation: did anyone actually like Sideways?  Gotta' be the most overly hyped lousy "small movie" evah!  Made me want to scoop out my brain with a spoon. 

23 Rand Paul is up ten?  Curses!  *grabs underling*  You've failed me for the last time, Henchman Twenty-One!

24 If this has something to do with llamas, it was probably me. Joanie, you're a sick fuck. I don't need to tell you that is a compliment, but some readers might not understand without the disclaimer.

25 Speaking of movies, here's one to look forward to (courtesy of Go Fug Yourself).

26 26 Charles Krathammer loved it.I'm not kidding,he talked about it on Fox.He had the hots for Virginia Madsen.

28 I think that some of those hollywood executives find it easier (or maybe just enjoy it more) to sabotage a movie project than to put it on a shelf forever.  It's the only explanation why Uwe Bolle and McG still work.

29 Another celebrity to loathe. 

30 I watched the whole thing because I was waiting for the good part like the reivews had indicated.

Same here (except for hanging on to the end).  It struck me as the movie version of a self-involved middle-ager.  Really boring. 

'Haven't seen There Will be Blood.  I guess I kind of knew to skip that one.  We only saw Sideways on a whim (on cable, I think) while we were vacationing in Santa Barbara.  Even going to the winery featured in the movie didn't raise the interest level for us. 

31 "Also the girlfriend and I were really disappointed with Dinner For Schmucks. I saw a few groups of people walk out. " That deeply saddens me. Good comedies are so rare, I had high hopes for that one. Oh well, maybe next year.

Hey thanks!

33 30 26 Charles Krathammer loved it.

Egads!

34 did anyone actually like Sideways?

I did; I thought it was a pretty good send-up of boomer wine snobs while still giving a pretty good description of why some people really really like wine.  And hot milfs who like getting juiced with the high-priced stuff.

I watched "The Visitor" this weekend and even though I thought it was pretty well done, at some point I wanted somebody to come out and say "Ya know; if you aren't legally in a country and you get found out, no matter how good a guy you might be, you really shouldn't be allowed to stay".  I don't know why fuckheads find that to be so difficult to understand.

35 It struck me as the movie version of a self-involved middle-ager's diary. 

fif me... time for more coffee!

I'll see your There Will Be Blood, and raise you an English Patient.

To paraphrase/grossly misrepresent Tolstoy, good movies are all alike, but every bad movie is bad in its own way.

Whether this is on purpose, or just the automatic side effect of co-star Cher is unclear, but, well, we will not look a gift Cher in the mouth.

39 Every Monday I check the new dvds released on netflix and my heart is broken. How can they make so many crappy movies? The plots are fucking jokes!

40 I watched MadMen last night. Two of the lead characters went to the movies. They had a homo seat. Odd how the only person in NYC who never heard of a homo seat was Ace...

Hey, Stevie, as for abandoning Earth -- you first. 

42 I watched TrueBlood. Blood = Sex; Sex = Blood. We get it. But am I the only one who wonders how straight actors can do gay sex scenes? I guess it is not erotic when there are about 20 teamsters watching you do it but swapping spit is still intimate. Do any straight actors refuse to roll around with another actor on screen these days???

43 Ace, honey, I know you're just coming in but don't forget to make the bleach solution for your fillet knife.

44 Ace doing the headline thread!!!

And I want me one of those antique diving suits in the sidebar. here that spammers? the new lace wig is antique diving suits. Halloween needs a new costume.

45 Alice in Wonderland would have been better if it was completely animated.  Halfway through the movie I realized there wasn't any problem that she couldn't solve with lots and lots of cake.  I'd rather see The Revenge of the Naked Fifty-Foot Alice.

46 >>>ace did you go to sleep, or just get up to piss and post this thread before going to bed. No I went to sleep. I'm trying to be better.

Uwe Boll doesn't make films, he makes tax shelters.

48 No I went to sleep. I'm trying to be better.

Ok. This is the point in the movie where I find out I'm really a ghost.

49 >>>"Also the girlfriend and I were really disappointed with Dinner For Schmucks. I saw a few groups of people walk out. " I didn't see it but I understand it's filled with what Martin Scorcese called "social horror," extreme discomfort at a likable character's embarrassment and humiliation. I like that sometimes, not because I'm a sadist, but because it can be so powerful. See Scorcese's King of Comedy; the British version of The Office. But it can also not work (see the American version of The Office, first season). Plus, even when it works, it's not going to work for some people, who will just find it too grueling. Again, I haven't seen it. I didn't think it looked very funny and I didn't love the high-concept plot. But now that I've been told it's that sort of movie I'll check it out.

50 Is there anyone other than me who has given up on movies and TV altogether?

51 In about fifteen minutes I'll go dump a steaming morning pile that could be a Late Summer Major Studio Release.

Aug. 9 (Bloomberg) -- German security officials raided and closed a Hamburg mosque where some of the al-Qaeda hijackers who carried out the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks met, saying itÂ’s breeding Islamic extremists to fight in Afghanistan.

“We closed the Taiba mosque today because young men are being turned into religious fanatics there,” Christoph Althaus, the city-state’s top security official, said in a statement. The group running the mosque used it to “propagate ‘holy war.’”

A mosque being used as a front for terrorism? Can't be!

Gates to Cut Major Military Command in Virginia, Officials Say

 http://bit.ly/8ZX8t1

 

The United States Joint Forces Command
provides mission-ready joint-capable forces and supports the development and integration of joint, interagency, and multinational capabilities to meet the present and future operational needs of the joint force

USJFCOM with its component commands will respond to combatant commandersÂ’ operational requirements by providing timely and mission-ready joint capabilities. To accomplish this USJFCOM will become a harmonized force made up of soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and civilians who excel at joint warfighting.

Together with the service headquarters and our interagency and multi-national partners, USJFCOM will achieve unity of effort to maximize our joint strengths. Not only will we be instrumental in winning the global war on terrorism, USJFCOM will anticipate and prepare for the future demands of the National Defense Strategy.

We are facing three major emerging threats, requiring us to be ready for three major forms of warfare.

Weapons of Mass Destruction: We must do everything possible to prevent the proliferation of these technologies and prevent their use. We must force ourselves to think the unthinkable, and be prepared to mitigate the chaos and destruction that would occur when one of these weapons is used, terminating any nuclear, chemical, or biological conflict as rapidly as possible.

Conventional Warfare:We face powers who wish to challenge us. These rising competitors have the resources to build large conventional armed forces fueled by powerful economies. We must maintain our conventional dominance - check-mating intellectually and materially any enemy who might consider taking us on in conventional warfare.

Irregular Warfare: We must move swiftly to make irregular warfare a core competency of the U.S. military. We must develop a mastery of irregular warfare comparable to that which we possess in conventional and nuclear warfare, leveraging our conventional dominance to asymmetrically improve in irregular war.
