we discovered this morning that i’ve never seen a sylvester stallone movie. nope. not a one.

Not even Rocky. TOTAL PHILADUMMY. We’re renting Rocky immediately to rectify this.

Then we’ll have to get First Blood. And Demolition Man. And Tango and Cash. And all the other Rocky movies.

Any I’m forgetting?

“Jeff Tweedy is hilarious. He could do a standup show. Cat Power has charm. Carrie Brownstein, obviously. Steve Albini, he’s fucking hilarious. He’s fucking so funny, he could write books, or go on the Daily Show. He’s brilliant and he doesn’t take himself seriously. Goddamn, that guy is funny.“

This merchant’s story of trying to obtain products from the Swedish company Fjall Raven goes a long way in explaining why it’s impossible to find Kånken backpacks in this country.

Speaking of David Letterman, my older brother and his friends started calling me “Letterman” when I was in grade school because I supposedly looked like him. I had a similar haircut. I was missing a front tooth, so it looked like I had a gap. Maybe some similarity in the face. They still call me Letterman 20 years later, even though all resemblance has faded.

The “Black Dan” portrait of Daniel Webster Daniel Webster is my style icon. Look at that hair! Balding yet totally awesome. When I go bald (and trust me, it’s happening), I hope I can pull this off. Even David Letterman or Bill Murray baldness would be nice. I really worry that I’ll end up looking like Rob Corddry, who has the most terrible bald head I have ever seen. It’s mostly that tiny patch of hair on his forehead that he has to shave so he doesn’t look like an early ’90s ska fan.

“Quentin Tarantino originally wanted to use ‘My Sharona’ for the scene in Pulp Fiction where Bruce Willis rescues Ving Rhames from the sexually sadistic pawn shop owner and his buddy, Zed. (He couldn’t because it was already earmarked for one of the many unbearable scenes in Reality Bites or the band objected to its use in that context. Accounts vary.) His logic, if I remember the quote right, was that it had a ‘really good sodomy beat to it.’ The phrasing’s unfortunate since what happens in that scene isn’t sodomy in the sense of two (or three or four) guys having a consensual good time on a Saturday night. It’s rape. But he’s got a point. There’s something irresistible and kind of wrong about ‘My Sharona.’“

SNL wasn’t very good last week. Christopher Walken totally phoned it it, which was a surprise. Still, Kristin Wiig was AMAZING in this sketch. The practice surprise kills me.

matt and i are arguing over whether it’s more appropriate to describe george stephanopoulos as “hunky” or “cute as a button.”

Just for the record, I am on the “cute as a button” side of this argument.
