The sun will come out tomorrow -- -Junk Edition

Bonziblazercat3_tiny by bow4meow on Comment 1656 comments

Is it the weather? Is that why I have no morning Junk to get my day started? Hmmm. You peoples should know how I feel about that by now. One day of rain and it's like all that long hot summer weather has been vanquished from our memories.Despite getting soaked to the bone yesterday in an afternoon deluge, I really enjoy stormy weather.

So I was perusing the recent lack of love for the world's goodest Trail Blazer and felt a tinge of stress overcoming the fanclub. For the sake of the Loyal Order and its beloved Poobah, I am using the JD to promote one honest expression-- "We love you, man."  Sheesh like I haven't worn that out yet.

So anywho, to keep it sanctimonious with the purity of Junk, and I apologize if its been done before, what is THEE worst movie of all time? For bow, it had to be Three Amigos. Talk about not meeting expectations.

Chime in Bedgereenos, and keep in mind (using the voice of that little orphan whose name I cant recall but I'm a big fan of)  "The sun will come out tomorrow!" (or at least by the weekend.  DAY

After Elaines critical review

I couldn’t bring myself to watching that movie even though I had bought it on video… bad investment

It took tooooooo loooooonng to tell the story. But everyone loved it. I don't know why

Three Amigos has some gems if watch it when it pops up on the dial. Paying for it might have skewed your experience. I have to suspend my expectation when watching it though. I can’t go into it thinking, “Alright! Three of the funniest actors to come out of the 70s and 80s in one single movie!” I have to watch it as if they aren’t in it.

And, “I love you, man”

that's one thing that always bothered me about Seinfeld

all these male characters thought Elaine was attractive and I just don’t find her attractive at all. It’s even worse than Jerry being able to date models.

The ones I've walked out, or nearly did, make a fortunately short list.

What was that sci-fi one with the John-Boy actor? They slapped a mole the size of a quarter on his cheek for that flick. I walked out of that one.

I also walked out of Pink Flamingoes.

I’m trying to think whether I’ve walked out of any and demanded my money back.

Three Amigos

is pretty darn funny if you’re not expecting a comedic masterpiece.

Worst movie I’ve seen is is tough to come up with because I usually forget about them or don’t bother to watch in the first place. But for me, Armageddon and Titanic are high up the list.

Armageddon is good

I love slow motion walking to dramatic music for 90 minutes.

Just like Horatio of CSI Miami.

using the Titanic

as a setting for a simple love story for the express purpose of emotional manipulation is crap. plus the acting wasn’t that great and neither was the writing. the special effects were all right. But the only good thing in that movie was the guy bouncing off the propeller which, when you think about it, is in fairly bad taste.

Worst ever? Pretty much anything with Steven Seagal in it.

Of course, Steven Seagal movies don’t necessarily try to be good. In the category of “Tried to be good and really sucked” I would have to nominate The Station Agent or the similarly dreary The Straight Story.

Maybe there was no junk drawer because Cole Wagoner wanted to join BE and make one?

I think Sophia advised him to do that after Ben sold him on BE as much more than a message board, rather a lifestyle. Pretty funny guy I and a number of others follow on Twitter, would be nice to have him also on BE.

But he can do that another day, or just comment in this one made by the Bow.

I had read about how the shark was constantly not working, which is the reason we rarely see the shark, and it was a happy accident as critics pointed out that the suspense that built by not showing the shark really added a nice element to the movie.

i don’t know, i saw it as a kid and it didn’t do it for me….but then again, i wrestled sharks for food when i came here on the boat

so let me get the story straight

you are a former boat person…..when one of your shipmates would fall over a shark would try to eat them…you would then wrestle the shark and steal the body for yourself

I heard some real horror stories from an ex co-worker

who left Viet Nam on a small boat that was so crowded they had to dangle their legs over the side to make room for more people. When someone died they just had to throw them over the side. I forget where he ended up (I want to say Israel but that doesn’t seem right) but he and his younger sister were intentionally separated from their parents and they spent over a year in a refugee camp alone. They had to fight for every scrap of food. He was eleven when he went into the refugee camp and wasn’t reunited with his parents until he was 14, I think. He was pretty nonchalant about it and said those kinds of things and much worse happened to lots of kids.

I don't really drink :-(

My parents got so drunk at my sister’s wedding, I literally had to carry my mom to the bathroom to puke all over herself.

by Mortimer on Sep 30, 2009 8:42 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

She's never gotten sick from drinking

She was just drinking wine like normal, and my dad was drinking tumblers of whiskey, and he gave his glass to my mom to hold for a second and for a “joke” she gulped half a big glass of whiskey down.

She couldn’t walk 5 minutes after that.

My dad was so drunk that he was rambling about nothing at the end of the night to the DJ and photographer, and I made sure he wasn’t writing 10K checks or something dumb. He was GONE.

My mom has a beer or wine at the end of the night sometimes… this was her ‘college experience’ that she never had.

Neither puked until after everyone had left, so they kept their dignity.

I was backstage at the roseland theater one time talking to the promotion director.

He told me a story about back in the early nineties, nirvana was playing there before they got big. There was this crazy chick making a scene in the ladies room, she was getting sick, screaming at people, cursing, just totally hammered. So he had to go in there with some other people to take care of it. He walks in and sees Courtney Love sitting on the floor with her makeup and hair all screwed up and her skirt up around her waste, wearing no underwear and she kept screaming “You see that guy? I’m gonna marry that guy someday!”

yeah :(

i’m from family of 6 refugee siblings and reliving the story through my parents is just…unreal….but you know, ALOT of families/people go through that…sometimes the part about us living in a refugee camp for a year was more terrifying then being on the boat….

i’m not nonchalant about it but every family from that era had an amazing story (each very unique)…most of them very sad but it’s something we don’t openly share because it has been so generalized (pointing blame to myself too)…if you ever bump into an elder statesman who would discuss their story, it’s worth buying them coffee/lunch just to listen/share and feel the emotions from it….

i had a chance to do this with my friend’s uncle who was in the Japanese internment (camps) in Cali…i cried listening to him because i didn’t know that much about that dark era in our history…i’m not sure what the definition of an american is to everyone, but i see those who struggle before us as the true american pioneers…their sacrifices were unimaginable…

i’ve started telling my 4 year old the stories but she always ask if there were pirates…there were definitely pirates, but not the Pirates of the Caribbean that she’s thinking of….off my free flow response to ann:)

I used to have a neighbor who's mother was Japanese

and born in an internment camp. My friend’s grandfather played football for OSU in 1942 but wasn’t allowed to play in the Rosebowl that year because he was a second generation Japanese American and of course was subsequently interred. He met and married my friend’s grandmother in the internment camp. Sick.

That’s not the illustrators fault. He didn’t green light an action movie about effeminate aryan acrobats fighting ninjas with sub machine guns. I was referring to the composition being perfect. Look at it with your eyes blurred. See the recycling symbol like shape? It’s nice.

I think the generally accepted narrative is that Oden is a bust

Oden’s going to have to be very good to change that narrative.

Are we sure about this? Hollinger and Dime Magazine just released stuff about Oden being promising. The second he starts producing, the insane amount of media coverage will be a good thing.

He’s so publicized that people will HAVE to take notice. Plus, America loves its redemption stories.

The problem is that even if he's really good, our slow pace and his status as a non-go-to-guy

will make it hart to produce eyecatching box-score stats. The Hollingers of the world will write that he is good, but I’m not sure the coaches will select him over the likes of Bynum (who, for whatever reason, doesn’t have the same stigma as Oden— probably because he’s had longer stretches of impressive play).

And he needs to do it

back east, where all important activities take place. Because it is:

2. exceedingly difficult/nigh impossible for same said sportswriters to learn to program a DVR.

Does the slow pace really inhibit his statistics that drastically in the eyes of the public? He put up some pretty great numbers pre-knee chip injury.

PLUS, if we’re winning, the media hype will be that he is a dominant defender, regardless of if he is or not. People said he was a dominant defender last year and he definitely was not.

if he gets the minutes to get 12 boards, he’ll have more than 12 points. As an unathletic, out of shape, post-surgery, nearly post-move-less, depressed rookie he averaged 12.5 per 30 minutes.

that's true about the defense-- that reputation still existed for a lot of people

It will be interesting to see what the national narrative is about him should he put up a season where he averages 15/11 with good defense in 30+ minutes and 70+ games.

I expect: “Ooooh, Greg Oden… he may only be a decent offensive player, but he DOMINATES the game on the defensive end, as evidenced by the fact that the Blazers are in the top three in points allowed.”

(Who needs to adjust for pace?)

At some point, the media will start to come down on Durant. Look at McGrady. If the “Thunder” lose 50 games and the Blazers win 57-60, the questions will begin.

We already know that Pelton/Hollinger/intelligent analysts will question Durant if he can’t get that -8.4 defensive on/off taken care of.

I don’t think the coaches are. If Oden’s playing well, they’ll put him in.

Yao will be voted in as starter, so the coaches will get full control over the position.

Bynum… I dunno how much he gets the ball this year, as compared to last year. Artest is a much higher usage player than Ariza.

Plus, he doesn’t have the hype that Greg has. I still run into people who don’t even know who Andrew Bynum is… but they all know Greg Oden.

My wife watched on in college called "Edward Penis Hands"

The plot is awesome. He has penises for hands so he goes into porn and gets real popular but then this other porn star gets jealous and introduces Edward to coke. Edward gets addicted and then cannot get penis hand erections.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101799/

Here is the box cover. You can see worse in a checkout line of a store, so clicking the link is cool.

And I found this about it on the webpage where I found the cover.

Well.....

they have 1% and 4% marketshare respectively. Not exactly a rounding error, but not a huge share either. However the trajectory for both is upward. And Firefox is approaching 20% so Steve-O shouldn’t be TOO dismissive.

Somebody explain this to me

where is the money in browsers?

Is it all just a scheme to drive traffic to the search engine of choice (Bing for IE, Google for Chrome, etc.)? Is there really that much money to be made from that? Or is there some other revenue stream that I am missing?

by tingeyga on Sep 30, 2009 12:56 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Driving traffic is a big one

Imagine how little traffic Microsoft would have across MSN, Bing, etc if they did not have their browser as default on around 90% of the purchased computers in the US. So they can’t afford to fall behind Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc because then they lose that traffic bump.

As far as I know, Firefox isn’t ever going to be major corporate force, but I believe they do nicely from their homepage. I’m not aware of anything Chrome and Safari bring to the table in terms of monetizing their software. I presume they want the same as Microsoft — to have folks directed to their services.

To a lesser extent, I think Safari was created because a.) Apple wasn’t happy with the browser options on OSX, which could reduce sales, and b.) Apple likes to keep things inside the Apple Ecosystem whenever possible, for user experience purposes.

All speculation.

The browser - while maybe not the operating system of the future as discussed in the article - is at least a major major component of it

Remember that the EU tried to force Microsoft to unbundle IE and Media Player from Windows, and partly succeeded? Those were the days. Now it really is an integral part of the operating system, and controlling that is highly important to Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook (yes, there will be a Facebook browser) and to a lesser extent Firefox and Opera and the rest.

As for driving traffic to their sites, yes that is also a very important part of the equation. Every percentage point in the search business – with the associated ads – is worth roughly 1 billion dollars.

Too keep you as long on their property as possible and collect data

I’m not sure if it will be a full-fledged browser – there are rumors about that – or at first just a toolbar a la Digg and also Google, but they are definitely working in this direction. They have the money, the developers, and the singularly focused founder to get it done.

I'd hope it's spent on better browser integration with IE/Firefox

I mean sure, they have plenty of money and vision to build a good browser. But their name recognition likely won’t translate to any browser market share unless it does something very unique.

It is becoming one of the default login/verification engines already

Along with Twitter, but Twitter really knows nothing about you as a person. Also heard this week Google has $19 billion flying around in cash and short-term assets looking for investments. Maybe they just buy some other prime web companies again. Though Yahoo kinda did that and then lost most of the founders and now doesn’t really know what to do with all of them.

It is becoming one of the default login/verification engines already

Only primarily for sites that want to expand into social networking (my favorite example is tv.com).

Now if they have aspirations of trying to be the OpenID of the internet, interesting. But I mean, Facebook still wants you to login to a non-secure web page by default. They’ll have a ways to go for a lot of companies to trust their security.

Here is Brandon talking about Oden

I don’t like to always break down every little word, but he did qualify a statement about Oden:

This is from Hollinger’s ESPN post today

“In the past I’ve always said, physically, he’s so dominant,” Brandon Roy said. “This summer I watched him, and he’s stepping up the skill. He’s not just beating on guys anymore, he’s doing little shimmies, jumpers with the left hand, jumpers with the right hand. The most impressive thing is that he’s facing guys up now and shooting that little touch shot. If he can continue to add that touch to his game, he’s going to be pretty dominant.”

I get the paper, so I don't care!

he’s not gonna make the mistake “oden will dominate, book it”

Weird frustration for me. When people talk about Microsoft, it’s typically self contained (Sometimes Linux comes up). But whenever Apple comes up, it’s always compared to Microsoft (Typically “It’s still better than MS”, or “MS stole it from Apple,” even when it’s provably false).

I hate Apple Fanboys. I would never like to be the member of a society that would accept me ;)

Tech journalists are increasingly faced with prejudice, too, as to improve their measly newspaper payments they hold speeches, consult or write books about the products and companies they cover. This has led to a number of conflicts of interest, e.g. most recently for the Apple columnist of the NYT who was accused of being too soft when interviewing Steve Jobs and writing about the latest products. On the other hand, the columnist for the WSJ is hosting an annual panel where he talks to company heads a la Gates and CIOs.

And their problem is also: If they ask the really tough questions, those high-profile and high-ego company heads will just walk out the door and talk to other journalists who ask nicer (and sometimes pre-approved) questions, or accept to only talk about their latest cool new products.

Cocooning and us vs. them are indeed major social trends

In political news and opinioning it gives rise to figures like Glenn Beck (who manages to re-create old angst across the political spectrum). The media landscape is so diverse and fractioned that if I wanted to I can pretty much only read and listen to people who agree with me and warn of people who don’t agree with me. In sports it gives rise to team blogs, talk radio, columnists, etc. :)

We just watched that for the first time recently

It really picks up in the second half of the series.

I do enjoy the surprisingly iconic imagery from the first episodes though, and the music.

I love how it was subbed "The adventure begins"

They left out, “The adventure also ends.” Love how they cast Joel Grey, Jennifer Grey’s father ( A white guy) as the chinese guy, and then put make-up on him

There was a movie called "Brainsmasher"

Filmed right here in Portland, that starred Andrew ‘dice’ Clay and a young Teri Hatcher. In fact almost every movie filmed here could make a reasonable entry to the list, with the notable exception of “drugstore cowboy”

Agreed. Don't forget that awful Madonna movie and The Hunted.

I forget what the Madonna one was called. Body of Obsession or something like that…

They even filmed some of it in front of The Lotus bar downtown.
