Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I don’t care how fun he is after a few whiskies. fuck that guy.

There will be lawyers.

I’m going back to the respite thread.

This blog will pay for itself.

Women: they get shit done

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Where tasty lettuce and good mustard aren’t elitist.

Verified, but limited!

False Scribes! False Scribes!

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Too inconsequential to be sued

This is a big f—–g deal.

Good luck with your asparagus.

Something seems odd about that, but i have been drinking.

Naturally gregarious and alpha

This really is a full service blog.

If you’re not in a food coma, here’s an open thread to get you through the night.

Valley Girl was on the other night and I had forgotten what a guilty pleasure that movie is for me. No idea why, it’s totally tripendicular, ya know?

Have at it…

    If I can put on my screenwriting hat for a minute, “Valley Girl” is a very well-structured classical romantic comedy. It adds on the 1980s trappings, but otherwise it would fit right into the golden age of the 1940s, structure-wise. That’s probably why it’s still satisfying to watch 30 years later.

    And, of course, the soundtrack is still awesome.

    The grandcat is visiting, which means a full night’s sleep is not allowed, as the dog must be taunted into waking.

    So I’m up watching Grosse Point Blank – another fun movie with a banging soundtrack.

    You might have seen VG on THiS TV, an antenna station that likes to end its movies 6-7 minutes short of the hour to stick more important asbestos lawsuit commercials in.

    @Mnemosyne: i’ve read a few interviews with the director and apparently the producers just wanted/expected an exploitation film and were quite shocked and happy when they realized they had an actual movie.

    And also in a bit part Michelle Meyrink who was in the same graduating class as me!
    She had a much bigger part in Real Genius another 1980’s gem.
