I still feel bad about it.

@It'stheRooo: I love you very, very much.

@mitchel_stevens: Wait? You're a fan of Strombo and The Hour? Where are you seeing it?

Was out threatening Gawker to fall from her peak?
To plunge down with despair? To fall swift? To fall far?
Just 'cause that poor same Trixie still hadn't a star?

Looks like I soothed in vain! Your vibe's been recognized!
(That's assuming stars still stand for "fab", not "despised".)
By my name, still a void! I might not be desired!
(Though I've tried to hang on to rhyme skillz you admired.)

How's it feel, party girl? To have cool within reach?
To be marked up in gold like that star-bellied Sneetch?
Hopez Uz partyin' down, hopez Uz havin' more fun --
'Coz U haz now a star!! ...

and I still don't haz one.

]]> <![CDATA[<i>The Tracey Fragments</i> Could Be the Most Annoying Movie Ever]]> I'll wait to watch this on DVD. It's easier to set fire to a DVD than it is to a cinema screen. You can also put a DVD in your microwave and cook it, which you can't with a cinema screen, unless you have a huge microwave, which NASA probably has. And as I currently don't work for NASA, or know anyone who can get me access to their big microwave, I'll wait for the DVD.

Richard

]]> <![CDATA[<i>The Tracey Fragments</i> Could Be the Most Annoying Movie Ever]]> "Annoying Canadians." I fear this may be why it took me so long to get a star, and then only got one after they were no longer cool and no one wanted them anymore. My people annoy Richard!

]]> <![CDATA[<i>The Tracey Fragments</i> Could Be the Most Annoying Movie Ever]]> @Spirit Fingers: I find that a couple of debut roles in b-horror movies starring leprechauns, masked killers or murderous animals is also endearing.

mmm.
i, for one, can't wait to see the fall-out from the current critic cultural turning point.

then again, i am still a sucker for ed koch reviews. i forget which film, but koch loved it only because it was hot outside, the theater had air conditioning and there were no kids there. but it was some shitty spring c-grade comedy.

]]> <![CDATA[<i>The Tracey Fragments</i> Could Be the Most Annoying Movie Ever]]> @YourGoldKeith: @shortagee: I think/agree DC more the problem than EP.

Keith, if it's important to you sure I'll forget EP.

I'm more into the dimmer, mass-market starlets in any case -- Lohan, Hayden Panetti-however you spell it.

Although I do have a soft-spot for Sarah Polley, crooked teeth notwithstanding. (or maybe b/c crooked teeth?)

And Zooey D. Although the M Ward project sounds a bit frightful.

jackbarber

]]> <![CDATA[<i>The Tracey Fragments</i> Could Be the Most Annoying Movie Ever]]> I don't like my young upstarts making good in movies fresh out of the gate, I like them well salted. You know, a WB show or two under their belt, or if they must overexpose, it should be as little precocious moppets, the sassy type who mug for the camera in their break out roles opposite The Rock or Vin Diesel. Doing a reverse Jessica Tandy and getting their Kirsten Dunst on, making us all say "She's just so gifted", just seems immodest.

Not to speak poorly of the deceased. But! I was always amazed at some of the blurbs provided by Paul Wunder (WBAI?) and Gary Franklin (KCOP?) in the day...Franklin once gave a film "a rare 13 on a scale of 1-10." I swear too it was for some awful Whoopi movie like Homer and Eddie.

]]> <![CDATA[<i>The Tracey Fragments</i> Could Be the Most Annoying Movie Ever]]> Very Grudgy Elizabeth Town looking. Not good. The most annoying move I have seen is Open Water and this looks worse. We watched about 5 minutes of them bobbing in the water and shut it off.

BalknChain

]]> <![CDATA[<i>The Tracey Fragments</i> Could Be the Most Annoying Movie Ever]]> Juno exceeded my expectations. But only b/c I had very low expectations.

90% of the Ellen Page character's dialogue was intolerable.

However she did have a certain onscreen charm.

your tag is inaccurate, richard.

mitchel_stevens

]]> <![CDATA[<i>The Tracey Fragments</i> Could Be the Most Annoying Movie Ever]]> I have a soft spot for Ellen Page since the faux-castration scene in Hard Candy but high concept indie films almost always suck sack. Like the anachronistic use of music in the self-indulgent and obnoxious Marie Antoinette. An idea that was put to better use in mainstream flick A Knight's Tale for Christ's sake.

roodles

]]> <![CDATA[<i>The Tracey Fragments</i> Could Be the Most Annoying Movie Ever]]> The only excuse for split screen use is in three-way calls. Judging from the blood-curdling pantie shot, it seems like that's not the type of three-way they're going for.
