Crispy’s Cloverfield review is up at We Are Not Journalists – http://wearenotjournalists.com/?p=239
I was just listening to you guys talk about Cloverfield back a few weeks ago… because I don’t catch up with my podcasts but about once a month. I said “‘Sup” before your child-star there was out of diapers. You know, I could just hang here and kibbitz while listening to the current podcast. Yeah. Because you know me, you know I’m not stalking you, you don’t think I’m a crazy bitch.
Srsly, as Ceiling Cat says, we have to MEET… at least me and Brian. Because, Asai was talking you up at Tyme’s house, and I was going to GaFilk, … but I ran out of money. You’re having my life, only, you know, cooler and more like reality.
Right now, I am at my mom’s house, waiting to close on our house in the country and trying to improve my financial status… It is now a three-pronged attack of increasing money-making opportunities, trying to improve my performance at my current job, and trying to keep the IRS from EATING ME!!!
Remember that you promised to tell me what was going on with DCTV… See, now that sounds too whiny and pleady…. Write me, Dammit. Ick. I suck at this. I Can Haz Email?
Thanks for the plug guys.
I still disagree. Cars is a social commentary on how America has become too obsessed with the shiny and new, and forgotten about the beauty of our roots. I never saw Iron Giant, but The Incredibles was a silly movie about super heroes that find themselves irrelivant. How many times have I seen that story before.
I do agree that you can make an excellent film on less money. Unfortunately we as Americans look too blindly at the glam, and resist anything with substance. Thats why Serenity failed. I’m probably not the only person who watches it three times a day, but who cares about that, it didn’t make billions of dollars. Which seems to be the only way of weighing success in this world anymore.
Dude, I bite you now. It’s a BIweekly podcast, not a SEMIweekly podcast. I have a hard enough time with this stuff without you confusing me.

It’s only BiWeekly when I stay on schedule. SemiWeekly gives me more wiggle room
Wow, if I used that excuse my life would sure be a lot simpler… No kidding at all.
