I
only had a couple issues with the new Ghostbusters.
One
was the slapstick “weapons test” in the alley.
I
would have expected any of the 4 seasoned comedians in that group to
refuse to do it...probably all 4 together.
Second
was I thought some of the banter ran long.
[2:58
PM] Mr. Brown:
I
did not mind the weapons testing.
I
mean - they need to test them.
However,
to stay true to the original, no testing was done til they were
fighting a ghost
LOL
[3:11
PM]
I
don't have issues with including a test scene.
However,
flying around with the "firehose gag" from way back in the
1920s...and dragging it out...was a junk choice.
Not
least because if the gear put out enough energy to do that, the team
couldn't use it.
[3:22
PM] Mr. Blue:
Ahh
yes. That classic.
[3:23
PM] Mr. Brown:
Yes,
they did not have to do that.
[3:23
PM] Mr. Blue:
They
did that for real on Jackass 2. Hung a fire hose from a crane... and
tied one of those poor saps to it.
[3:23
PM] Mr. Brown:
The
rest of the testing was good.
[3:24
PM] Mr. Blue:
They
always ruin comedies with terrible slapstick moments
“Old
School” was a fine movie until they did the thing where the guy
fell from the top of a building into a manhole. Another ancient gag.
Must
have been to appeal to the morons in the audience.
[9:36
AM]
Surname
"Duckworth"
Odd
one
An
"odd duck", no less.
So
which is it?
A.
"That's Timmy...he's worth about a duck on a diary farm."
B.
"The family made their fortune raising ducks in County Cork
before they emigrated."
(...has
suspicions it's actually a "language mangled by time"
trick...)
[looks]
So
"worth" means "enclosure"
7th
Century personal name "Ducca", of uncertain origin, and
"worth", a homestead; hence, "Ducca's homestead".
[9:54
AM] Mr. Blue:
From
the Dutch: “Dikwirtz”
Translation
"What a dick"
[10:10
AM]
(Junior
G-Man Timmy) "Hey! You're Dutch Dikwirtz!"
"That's
right, sport! Wanna go on a mission with me and Agent Hoppy?"
"DO
I? That'd be SWELL, Dutch!"
"Anything
to keep America safe, son! Take this Tommy-gun and clear that
warehouse. There might be robot men in there, though.
Think you can handle it?"
(“Dutch
Dikwirtz”...seemed like that kind of far-fetched serial adventure
name...)
Episode
fades to Dutch – lantern jawed profile in front of waving American
flag, itself in front of the planet Earth. Radioman voiceover:)
"Turn
in to the next G-Man adventure: 'The Dirty Russkie Chink'! With all
your favorite agents! Dutch Dikwirtz! Tex Texican!
Val Armstrong! Grip Powers! And buck agent Hoppy Hix!”
[10:11
AM]
So...Hobby
Lobby
Amusing
statement of excuse for collecting stolen artifacts
[10:13
AM] Mr. Blue:
Meh...
The artifacts woulda just been blown up by salafists eventually
anyway
[10:13
AM]
"In
line with our mission and passion for the collection of Biblically
significant texts and artifacts"
Guys...
Buying
stolen stuff from over there hoping to hit anything “Biblically
significant” is like going to Virginia and grabbing some bricks in
hopes they might be related to George Washington
I'm
not ripping on the pieces themselves, but anything someone is
certifying as 'Biblically significant' is basically conning you.
[10:18
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
assumed it was Sumerian
I
doubt their motives were pure... They probably woulda ended up in
some rich guy's stuffy office if they hadn't been found out.
[10:20
AM]
"This
is from...uh...Nimrod's house, yeah."
40000
"Biblical" artifacts
Something
like 5000 illegal
[10:34
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
saw some goofs on Twitter of screenshots of Hobby Lobby's website
showing $49,000,000 cuneiform tablets next to, like, toy trains and
airplane glue
[10:34
AM]
Hehe
"And
we call these the 'Biblically significant' shoeboxes. Not sure
what's in them, but we had so much Iraq stuff that we had to do
something with them."
So
if you spent 8 hours a day admiring the majesty that is each
“Biblically Significant” object for a mere 10 minutes, it would
take you 2.28 years.
On
the other hand, I'm guessing the people involved at Hobby Lobby
haven't done more than glance at some of it.
Give
them to a museum
Let
intelligent people have access
[10:21
AM] Mr. Brown:
So
the demon in Twin Peaks is called Bob
[10:22
AM]
All
you have to do is call out his name backwards three times and...he'll
still be Bob.
[10:25
AM] Mr. Brown:
And
now I'm talking to a Bob
[10:26
AM]
Be
cautious...he's a demon and is tricksy
[11:51
AM]
[11:51
AM] Mr. Blue:
Jesus
[11:53
AM] Mr. McGreen:
No,
Noah
[11:53
AM] Mr. Blue:
"God - who is real - is apparently on the side of the non-believers."
[11:54
AM]
"Gotta
go with the peeps that think I'm a myth on this one,"
says God in rare interview.
[11:55
AM] Mr. Blue:
The
classic "test your faith" gimmick.
[11:58
AM]
"This
guy...I mean - 'Ham's Ark'? It just didn't roll,
you know? The original Ham was kind of a jerk too,"
said the Supreme Being with no apparent sense of irony.
[12:18
PM] Mr. Blue:
Trump
speech in Poland: "In 1939 you were invaded by the Soviet
Union from the East and Nazi Germany from the West. That's
trouble."
[12:19
PM] Mr. Brown:
Big
Trouble in Little Poland
[12:19
PM] Mr. Blue:
He's
literally just giving a Cliffs Notes about WW2 Poland
I'm
pretty sure the Poles are well aware of their own history
[12:19
PM] Mr. Brown:
“You
need to help us stop Russia, well, because they attacked you once
or
twice.”
[12:21
PM]
"And
as you Poles recall...we didn't help you back then. That's business."
[12:26
PM] Mr. Blue:
"Millions
of your Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazis. Very
unfortunate."
"Much
like CNN has systematically tried to murder my reputation. It's
a disgrace!"
[12:27
PM]
Man...just
imagine if he'd said that and followed it with "Fake"....
[12:29
PM] Mr. Brown:
Accidentally
uses “Polack” during speech. That would have been funny.
[12:29
PM]
Trump
"You know, I'm reminded of a whole series of jokes from the 70s
we should bring back."
[12:30
PM] Mr. Blue:
“The
courage of the polish people will never be forgotten, as will that
thing about the screen door on the submarine."
I
saw a gag about his trip to Saudi Arabia where Trump just wheeled out
a big whiteboard and drew the prophet. "Look at
him! He looks terrific."
[12:44
PM] Mr. Brown:
HAHA
[12:43
PM] Mr. McGreen:
So
the guys working on the generator use the door down here, and I'm
pretty sure they knocked over a pile of files and just left it.
Now
the boxes are all crushed and stuff.
I'm
just now catching up on all the requests and now I need to work on
this?
If
I hurt my back I'm gonna get me some workman's comp.
[12:51
PM]
You
could be on an office edition of Hoarders.
"Co-workers
thought that McGreen had simply quit and walked out. But 3
months later came the gruesome discovery under a pile of files some
contractors had knocked over."
