Can't we just be okay with the fact that Kanye West is an asshole? By most accounts his work is exceptional, shouldn't that be enough? We've got people like Debra Winger excusing Roman Polanski raping a 13 year old girl because of his genius, can't we accept Kanye being an ass as long as he delivers great music?
@anonymousryan: I'm happy to accept Kanye being a talented jackass. Writing off Polanski's unrepentant child-rape charge for the sake of his talent, not so much.
@anonymousryan: Speaking as the foremost local champion of British/Antipodean cussing, might I beg of you gentle-people to consider the usage of the word 'ass'? Over here, 'ass', with a short 'a', is a donkey. 'ARSE' sounds far more lewd. Try it. Long 'a'... as in 'AHHHH - (choo)' (bless you).
So - 'AHHHH-rsss'. Long 'a', long 's'. 'Ass' as you pronounce it is too short to give proper cussing satisfaction. AHHHHrssss-hoooole, on the other hand - magic.
@DevilsAvocado: (Waving hello). Yeah, many people use "arse" in Canada as well, though in keeping with our hybrid Brit/Yank ways, many use "ass" as well. The word "ass" sounds weird to me; too prissy to be a cuss word.
@anonymousryan: Kanye West is the best celebrity on earth. My only concern is that I do not want him going crazier than 80s Michael Jackson into full-bore trainwreck recluse 90s and 00s MJ. Although I will admit that I could be swayed on this one if Invincible had been another Thriller.
@scroll_lock: As in, "piss off", or "Scrolly, I'm off to imbibe a bottle of fine chardonnay over lunch - I plan to be pretty pissed by mid-afternoon"?
I'm also very fond of our Australian use of 'bugger' in many and varied ways - 'you silly old bugger' (affectionate), 'bugger off' (see 'piss off'), and 'I'm buggered' (I'm tired).
This is just like the Smoke Jumpers episode where Vince could NOT act for his life, gets yelled at, and Ari tries to step in.. Same deal. Except Matt Damon actually wants his staff to eat something.
I'm sorry, but why is Damon slumming it on Entourage again? Shouldn't he be somewhere re-Bourneing or something? I'd like not to think that he and Piven are friends, because that would really undo all of his good charity work. However, the thought of he and Wahlberg hanging out, gives me an odd little jolt in my thrill-box. I've often wondered what a Damon, Afleck, Donny, Marky Wahlberg Bostontown melee would be like? Would there be name calling and boy band smacks? Underwear model wedgies? Gigli J.Lo. Daredevil and Paycheck barbs full of honesty and sadness? CIA, covert operations, thinking-man's thriller reveries full of boyish charm and boring movie nuggets of truth?
I'd pay to see this. Yes, I would. Much more than the planned sequel to Rounders...er, I mean Good Will Hunting Poker Norton Nonsense.
@Spirit Fingers: Funny thing.They had a melee scheduled for last week with all those guys and both the Dillon brothers, but DiCaprio heard about the lingerie models and threatened to show up, so they canceled.
Adrien Grenier is a horrible actor. He was the dullest aspect of The Devil Wears Prada, and that movie was about shoes, for corn's sake. How could he possibly overdo anything, aside from one of his damn Jarlsberg grilled sandwiches? Faux or naux, Damon just went up a notch.

And that snippet, heaven forfend, wasn't highly over-produced for maximum online virulence.
