didn't she get back with kimmel? that's punishment enough for 10 lifetimes.

Former host of The Man Show? More like current host of the Oh, Maaaan That's Terrible show.

She was on JRoss show, and 8-10cats...

Likeable, yeah. Once she got in a stride of sorts, she was funny. But I get the impression she's not a 'died-in-the-wool' professional comedian type, which is fine. JRoss was 'feeding' her possible comedy spur lines and she was batting them away. "Madonna and Guy splitting? I have nothing to say about that..." GOOD!

You mean she's just doing this for a while until she gets some proper acting jobs?

Ich Ber ein Binliner (Tom D.), Tuesday, 21 October 2008 09:02 (sixteen years ago) link

Well, I meant as in not a 'honed to the nth degree professional' like yr Monkhouse/JRivers types.

Mark G, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 09:09 (sixteen years ago) link

Well that's hardly unusual, is it? Her appearance in last year's (or was it the year before?) Secret Policeman's Ball seems to have been airbrushed out of history, which is just as well for her sake.

I hear that's how the shepherd passed away.

"news is dicks."

anyone else watching her show this season? i think my favorite thing was a week or two ago when jay and laura spent all of their time alone dancing wildly.

the only thing i like about the show is that it's set in valley village -- i always pass the valley village station on the orange line on the way to my bf's place in sherman oaks, and it makes me smile.

thandie newman (get bent), Friday, 24 October 2008 09:25 (sixteen years ago) link

and sherman oaks makes me think of it's garry shandling's show!

I would just like to pop onto this thread to express my disappointment with her twitter quips.

I wonder if there is a way Morbius can fit his hatred for QT into every thread on the board.

Seriously, I'm almost starting to admire his level of dedication to this cause. Almost.

he's always been a bit of an anti-climb Max (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 1 April 2010 02:49 (fourteen years ago) link

someday I'm gonna meet Quentin T. and I'm gonna say "I know this guy who totally hates you, you gotta have a character called 'Morbius' in your next movie & you gotta make the movie suck even worse than usual" and he's totally gonna say "I will do it because you are cool" and when the movie comes out we will totally have a thread about it

gonna be a great day

Twink Will Ferrell (J0hn D.), Thursday, 1 April 2010 03:16 (fourteen years ago) link

can you also tell QT to make the character a yankees fan?

Yes we can!

Nicely played sir.

I like his earlier, funny movies; maybe he should make one with Sarah Silverman

Even before The Sarah Silverman Program came back from the interminable break between seasons two and three, the writing was on the wall: Comedy Central reportedly balked at the show’s expense (and the cast’s supposed desire for more money), and only through a partnership with the Logo network was the show’s third season funded. When it finally returned in early February, Comedy Central moved it to the late-night graveyard a month later, airing after Colbert and without the usual regimen of reruns the network gives its original programming.

So the message couldn’t have been clearer: This is it for The Sarah Silverman Program.

They really seem to be going out with a bang, turning up the weirdness levels and hitting you with non-stop jokes. Thursdays at midnight, I'll definitely be there....

Her descriptions of the 3 r'n'b American Music Award nominees (Robin Thicke, Justin Timberlake, Rihana)

The soul and R&B award was presented by comedian Sarah Silverman, who joked that Rihanna, a woman of color, was going up against "a white guy from 'The Mickey Mouse Club' (Timberlake) and the son of the dad from 'Growing Pains' (Robin Thicke)." When Timberlake accepted the award, he joked back that it was the "first time I've ever been racially profiled by a white woman."

Saw a little of her most recent special last night. While it wasn't great overall, she made a pretty good non-funny point that hit me as a dad -- basically, that telling a girl "You can be anything you want when you grow up," is a little like telling someone "Don't worry, I'm not going to read your diary while you're in the shower."

Watched "I Smile Back" last night. It is not a good movie, but she is pretty good in it.

I thought it was pretty good for the two-thirds of the film where she wasn't drugging or drinking. I even thought at one point (not knowing the novel) that it was going to accomplish the miraculous--not have the mandatory relapse, where the rule seems to be the more brutal the more authentic. So of course that's where it headed, and immediately after probably the best sequence in the film, her son's recital. I don't know what the point of this checklist is. We've seen it in every addiction movie ever, and the scene with the Springsteen guy was especially ugly.

The performances were fine--liked the husband too.

Hi. This is me telling everyone in my life at once why I haven't been around. This will not interest everyone so feel free to disregard.
I was in the ICU all of last week and I am insanely lucky to be alive. Don't even know why I went to the doctor, it was just a sore throat. But I had a freak case of epiglottitis.
I owe my life to Dr. Shawn Nasseri, Dr. Robert Naruse, Dr. Rob Huizenga, every nurse, and every technician & orderly at Cedars who's punch-the-clock jobs happen to save human lives on the regular.
There's something that happens when three people you're so close to die within a year and then YOU almost die but don't. (That was me. I'm the one that didn't die.) It's a strange dichotomy between, "Why me?" and the other, "Why me?"
They couldn't put me fully to sleep for the recovery process because my blood pressure's too low. I was drugged just enough to not feel the pain and have no idea what was happening or where I was. They had to have my hands restrained to keep me from pulling out my breathing tube. My friend Stephanie said I kept writing "was I in an accident?"
When I woke up 5 days later I didn't remember anything. I thanked everyone at the ICU for my life, went home, and then slowly as the opiates faded away, remembered the trauma of the surgery & spent the first two days home kind of free-falling from the meds / lack of meds and the paralyzing realization that nothing matters. Luckily that was followed by the motivating revelation that nothing matters.
I'm so moved by my real-life hero, Michael, and amazing Sissies (blood & otherwise) & friendos, who all coordinated so that there wasn't a moment I was alone. It makes me cry. Which hurts my throat. So stop.
Anyway there are some funny stories too.
I couldn't speak for a while and I don't remember a lot of my "lucid" time, but Amy (the Zvi) told me I stopped a nurse - like it was an emergency - furiously wrote down a note and gave it to her. When she looked at it, it just said, "Do you live with your mother?" next to a drawing of a penis.
Also, when I first woke up and the breathing tube came out, I still couldn't talk and they gave me a board of letters to communicate. My loved ones stood there, so curious what was going to be the first thing I had to say. They followed my finger, rapt, as I pointed from letter to letter until I finally spelled out, "Did you see 'Hello My Name is Doris.'"

I love you all. Your friend,
Sarah
