The book is pretty darn great. The Texas Penal system comes across as sort of a 3 Stooges act, which I hope they show in the movie.
Scott Caan. Actually, that's now my answer to any casting call.
If you drop trou Chris, I pledge not to compare you to Scott.
@Losin_it: Actually, Defamer was a core property at the beginning (at least in page views), along with Gawker and Wonkette, but Denton, terrified by Lisanti's departure and the ascension of TMZ, drove away the core readership by hiring his New York based (i.e., clueless) henchman Grambo to ratchet the site into some sort of weird Perez Hilton-Nikki Finke hybrid (remember Molly Friedman - that was some new kind of low).
Anyway, I've been watching advertising on all the sites lately, and the only major media buy for the last couple of weeks has been some obscure vodka company that occasionally appears on Gawker. Basically, the entire operation, not just Defamer, is in deep trouble, and Denton is looking to get rid of anything that the New York media elite (of whom he desperately wants to be a part) might not notice too much.
@homofascist: Blowjobs for all investors! They'll be busy while we collect our P.A. paychecks.
I'm thinking Rattner and Andy Cohen should bail you guys out. We'd have 3-D explosions and awesome reality show snippets. Seriously though, you'll be fine.
So I guess the Gays have to be blind to warrant a fake apology from SNL?
I've been pondering all afternoon whether he shaves, thus solidifying my fears I'm becoming an old pervert.
Overreaching again, Mr. Tate, as per usual. Dial it back dude - not everyone is as convoluted and conspiratorious as you. He's just a young dumb jock, and he makes way much more money than you, understandably. Although, even I will admit he's pulling that "models eat hamburgers" BS, but I think that's part of their out-of-pool training regimen. Anywhose, he'll be in awesome shape again in a year, and you can just cry about it over the photo of his eight-pack abs you use as your laptop screensaver.
Dear Mr. Frey:
I really enjoyed your description of PCH in "Bright, Shiny, Morning." That was dead on, and made me miss California very much. Unfortunately, I haven't made it much farther in the book than that due to lack of business travel time in the current economic situation. Is there a Cliff Notes?
Also, can you please ask everyone at Gawker if they have anything original left to say about Blago, and if they admit they do not (otherwise, they are lying), will you tell them to shut up.
Thank you.
@BoHan: Oh you already said that. Sorry, I have problems with big words.
It sort've looks like the Hawaiian Islands. He must really like it there.
The "Employee Free Choice Act", an oxymoron at best, is a great way to make it inevitable that the Detroit bailout spontaneously replicates itself in every remaining industry in the country, starting with every non-UAW car plant in the US (i.e., those damn efficient foreigners who make all their US market cars in the States without union labor).
@SpecialK: I favorited you. Let's be anonymous friends. That would be cool.
The Hills is a show for 13-16 year old girls. Everyone else - they could care less about you (ever seen a Rogaine commercial on The Hills?). They are giving their demographic what it wants, pretty much like Twilight pretends you never need to have sex to seal the deal. If you ain't in the Hills demographic, the producers don't give a crap what you think of their faux-reality. Seth, that offer to write for The Hills still stands, although they don't have any writers.
He's 27, not 13. And he works in the White House. He doesn't get to be some stupid punk sowing his wild oats. Lord knows what the comments would read like if he was fondling a Michelle Obama cut-out.
@ian spiegelman: @ian spiegelman: OMG, does this mean no more "This Week In Space?" No worries, plenty of other places to post that brilliant TV recap. I miss you Ian and I'll miss Sheila. She was the only original voice left on this blog.
Frack. Cyclons I hate you. Get away. (yeah).
Shocking News. Michaels Phelps is no different than any other 22 year old boy.
Maybe you could just buy a ticket to "Milk" for every self-designated liberal out there pontificating on the failure of the No On 8 campaign (and yeah, I'm thinking of Pareene).
