TWEETCAST

You might have heard about the "Live Tweet" event I'll be doing with GoComics tomorrow.  It's tomorrow, Friday, 12/14 at 1:30pm CST, 2:30pm EST, 11:30am PST, and Rocky Mountains, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN!  BUY A CALCULATOR!

 

You can send inane questions on twitter (anytime, starting now I guess) using the hashtag #DancingBugLIVE, and you can follow my inane answers at those starting times, at @GoComics.

See if you can spot the hatred.

During a Colbert/Stewart event last week, among other interesting things revealed, Jon Stewart said that Hugh Grant was the worst guest he's ever had, and he would never have him back.

 

"Stewart’s least favourite guest of all time is Hugh Grant, “and we’ve
had dictators on the show”. Grant spent his time at the studio
complaining that he had other places to be. “He’s giving everyone shit
the whole time, and he’s a big pain in the ass,” Stewart recalled. Grant
also complained to the staff about the clip that was selected of the
movie he was promoting, Did You Hear About the Morgans? Jon Stewart almost quit Daily Show over “asshole” coworkers
– a clip that was obviously supplied by the film’s publicist. Stewart
recalls Grant angrily asking “What is that clip? It’s a terrible clip.”
“Well, then make a better fucking movie,” Stewart said, adding that he
would “never” have Grant back."

 

Here is the interview.

Stewart certainly seems jovial when they sit down, even though by this time he was apparently already seething.  It seems like they just had a little fun with some of the mistakes Stewart made in describing the film, and it's Stewart who is kiddingly apologizing.  Just a couple of good actors, I guess.

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL, THE VHS EDITION

For about a DECADE a store in my neighborhood has had this rack of VHS cassettes on the sidewalk outside its window.

 

IMG_1185

 

NO ONE HAS EVER BOUGHT ONE.

 

THE SAME CASSETTES ARE THERE DAY AFTER MONTH AFTER YEAR.

 

The sad thing is: it's on a movable rack.  Someone has to drag it out onto the sidewalk every morning, and then lug it back into the store at closing time, knowing full well that nobody has bought one of these things, and whatever approaching-zero chance there was of a purchase 10 years ago, technology format changes and sun damage have moved that chance to drop-dead, certain, ABSOLUTE ZERO PERCENT CHANCE.
