12:58pm|reblogged from Bunker Complex:
I absolutely loved Teen Witch! Reading an interview with Larry Weir who scored the film and he gave some amusing info on the movie.
“However, the people who were financing the film were from the Middle East and saw the first cut of the movie and thought we needed more rap music and wanted to sex it up a bit.
I guess that explains the creepy “love scene.”
Yeah, it’s totally out of place and out of character. I guess they thought that sex and rap music were the hip American thing to do and would make the movie appeal to a wider audience. Our producer Alana Lambros hated the idea and actually left the production. It was wacky, but we had to go on.
Anyway, the writers added those “steamier” scenes and I wrote “Top That” and some of the other rap that is in the movie and had to get it approved by the “money.” So, here I am, this white dude with a ghetto blaster and I have to impress a conference room full of Middle Eastern men with my rapping skills. When I was finished there was dead silence and all of the guys in the room looked at the main financier and he says “I like it,” and everyone else begins to gush over how great it is.”
“Top That” was not originally part of Teen Witch. My mind is officially blown.

Good luck, dude.
When I went to Vegas for the first (and only) time, someone left a note on the door of the hotel room next to mine that read, “Thanx 4 the worst birthday ever. It’s over.” I took a picture. My travel companion argued that I should have stolen the note itself as a souvenir.

For Kris Tinkle fans, UFC fans, or even fans of comedians from Treasure Island, check out Steel Cage Comedy Night, on Thursday night at the San Jose Improv. It’s standup comedy, followed by a live interview with UFC fighter Mike “Quick” Swick.
Here’s a clip from the first Steel Cage show, where Jon Fitch discusses how bad it sucks to get knocked out.

12:08am|reblogged from life as a baller:Yes we can.
At the massive, massive No on 8 rally at City Hall.
There were a ton of Prop 8 protesters in downtown Pasadena as well. I support their cause, but I think they’re preaching to the choir. Protesting in NYC, SF, or downtown Pasadena isn’t really accomplishing much.
I think they’re better served protesting in places like Orange County. There, they might actually change someone’s stance on the issue.
Have you ever been convinced by a protestor? I think they generally polarize. If I’m against, I’ll be annoyed, and be more against (if slightly). If I’m for, I’ll be charged up a bit, but then that’ll go away.
Who wants to join me in my movement to get a proposition to end all propositions on to the ballot? It will be us vs. the (special interest) world!
I am totally in. There’s a vegan attorney at my office who said he voted against Prop. 2 - and every proposition - because of his fundamental distaste for the initiative process. Seriously, there’s a reason why we have a legislature to make laws
He claims he’d even vote against a proposition to raise his own salary to a million dollars a year. My vegan co-worker, mad about his callous attitude toward animals, told him, “Fine, because that bullshit would never pass anyway.”

What has two thumbs and just got a week at the Punch Line? This guy.
-
Outdated Anxiety DreamI’m hosting at the Punch Line tonight, and it’s a pretty important show. Last night, I had an anxiety dream about the show, albeit an outdated one. In the dream, I wasn’t allowed to go on stage until I finished writing a 5-to-7-page paper.
I confirmed that tonight’s show has no essay question portion, so I think it will be fine.

8:30am|reblogged from midnight train going anywhere:whee philly!
i had a real philly cheesesteak IN philly. it came with cheezewhiz FROM A CAN. like a HUGE ASS CAN. i dont know why i foudn this exciting, but i did. i also got to see the liberty bell from the cab!
also the bar played the best music ever. i love my fellow SEA officer. (sea = social enterprise association = the hippie club @ bschool)
tomorrow i go back to nyc in time for bschool prom! whee!
also before this trip i hadnt been outside like a 5 mile radius of school since i moved to nyc. weird.
Comments:
1. As enthusiastic as this post reads, it actually only has but two exclamation points.
2. I knew Geets was eating a philly cheesesteak, but I wasn’t sure she’d go full Whiz. Perhaps I am unduly influenced by my first two girlfriends being semi-obsessed with Cheez Whiz, and a later one growing up 30 miles from Philly, but for whatever reason, the HUGE ASS CAN warms my heart. I might be lactose-intolerant, but clearly, my heart is not. Except for the arteries.
3. When it comes to bschool prom and Geets, I can only think back to the lessons of Saved By The Bell. That is:
- If an obese girl bids on you at the bschool prom auction, do not make excuses to avoid going to prom, because she will catch on.
- Don’t get yourself locked in the boiler room, like Jessie and Slater, because you will miss most of prom. However, you will probably learn an important lesson about yourself.
- If a nerd with his own pet robot offers to tutor you so you can attend bschool prom, do not fall in love with him!

Interview With Jim Breuer, on SF Standup
Excerpt:
Now you originally came out of Long Island?JB: I started in Long Island, right out of high school. I would usually work rock clubs. Then I started hitting the comedy clubs in ‘85, ‘86. Then, I kind of pursued acting. I was living in Florida, and I did some Nickelodeon stuff, but in ‘89, I committed to stand-up. Two years later, after doing a lot of road stuff - which I loved - I went back to New York, and started getting TV and stuff.
Can I ask - I didn’t realize you have done Nickelodeon stuff.JB: Yeah, cheesy stuff. “Welcome Freshmen” was my first TV spot ever.
OK. But you’ve never been slimed, right?JB: Never been slimed.
