Who should play Spider-Ham in the eventual movie?

I don't know how well the comic would translate to a movie. I mean, they managed to do it with Deadpool, but Squirrel Girl… while it has a very fun tone that would easily translate to a movie, it's also not especially plot-centered, and it might be difficult to insert much seriousness into it.
Maybe Netflix would be

You may say he's dead, but that's just, uhh, like, your opinion, man.

I thought of this, then it immediately slipped my mind.
I think where Atlas Shrugged missed out was that it didn't have the enthusiasm of "banned" actors behind it. Of course, I could be wrong - I haven't seen any of them.

Correction: They offer to chop wood for a couple of sandwiches.

It'd be interesting to see what kind of project all of these "blacklisted" right-wing "stars" could put together if they decided to work together. I'm sure they've got enough money to self-finance a group vanity project.

I've been thinking about gathering data about the time from the start of a film to the first nudity (specifically in 80s teen sex comedies) and the relative quality of the movie overall.

I remember reading that review, and deciding that I should probably give it a watch.
I still agree with his assessment. It's probably one of the strangest movies I've seen, but I don't remember ever laughing.
Although it probably is more shocking than Un Chien Andalou.

Plan 9 and The Room and similarly sloppy work is more interesting for the impressions it leaves to their creators. Their priorities and personalities are better reflected in these works.

Maybe I should clarify: I don't think people can claim to love movies when they refuse to watch all but the most acclaimed.

Nope, I fully agree with this.
The people who only watch brilliant movies are typically boring, and they don't know how to see the value in other movies.
When I watch a lesser movie, I usually am looking for what they managed to accomplish with their resources.

Interestingly, the first girl I really liked, and with whom I maintain a peculiar fascination, breathes through her mouth. So I've never considered it much of an insult.

I actually like almost all of Nine Lives, with the exception of the title track.
I still think The Farm is one of the hardest-rocking songs they put out.

Except that lawyers normally play devils advocate, and if they're friendly with you, they're more likely to explore reasons why you're wrong.

I've Got A Feeling is probably my second favorite Beatles song, after Hey Bulldog. But it's also the one I'd most like to play live.

I've very slowly been working on another song that can fit into my cycle of songs about high school. I heard a segment on This American Life that talked with the author of the Sweet Valley High books about prom, specifically that she's writing all these books that use prom as a plot point, but she never went to hers.
I

Just pad out the second side with a bunch of covers of Led Zeppelin tunes.

I like Get A Grip, although I wasn't listening to radio and I didn't have cable TV at the time. I think the album is notable for a move toward having tons and tons of guitar parts, but still never seeming overcrowded.

I still enjoy the track Permanent Vacation as well as St. John and Hangman Jury…
