Waiting is one of the shittiest movies that I like. Because it gets lots of the details right, from the frustration with late arriving customers, to the juvenile games you play at work to maintain sanity to the fact that the only people you ever hang with are your coworkers.

I saw the Aasif Mandvi movie from a few years ago (whose title escapes me) where he's a sous chef who ends up rescuing his parents' Indian restaurant from failure. It was OK, but one thing that impressed me was the veracity of the early scenes set in the high end restaurant where he works. Also, when he and his…

Nearly every single person I know works for either a hotel or a restaurant. These are occupations that are fairly well represented onscreen, but only in movies that are ABOUT working in a hotel or restaurant. Nobody is ever just earning a living waiting tables or cooking; they're either trying to open their own…

That would imply that speaking a language other than English is a good thing. Some audiences wouldn't be OK with that.

Well, it was his prerogative.

Pretty much sounds how I expected it to. In other words, pretty damn good. I should probably get more into Otis Redding.

I also was once called the Body. Then I was called the Governor of Minnesota. Now I'm just a schnook.

When I was about sixteen I was over at a friend's house and I found the porn he had hidden under his bed. Apparently he had just grabbed magazines randomly from bound stacks in the back room of a local convenience store, without checking to even see what he was getting. Anyway, one of the publications I found under…

That's just the governor.

Man, I've still never even heard the Redding version of Respect. I should probably get on that.

Nothing about "Emperor's New Clothes?" I fucking love that song.

I was a huge star before you were even a gleam in some drunken Mick's bloodshot eye!

U Thant. Used to be the U.N. general secretary.

Holy shit, he's still alive isn't he?

Man, I haven't fingered anyone incorrectly since high school.

I'm amazed she's had any success, considering how awful her parents must be. I bet they don't even have the same last name as her.

Toad, Badger, Rat and Mole Vs. Weasels and Stoats?
featuring a motorcar?

Honey badgers are so 2012. So I expect a crappy computer animated movie about one to come out in about a year. Featuring a dance routine set to "Friday" by Rebecca Black.

Lately I've been noticing lots of people getting downvoted for their opinions and it's really pissing me off. I always figured the downvote system was so that abusive/spammy comments or posters could be eliminated, not so that you can piss on somebody for defending Mitt Romney, not being enthusiastic enough about…

True. The thing is, I used to be a dick about it. So I'm often afraid that's how I sound even when I'm not trying to.
