30%

Here are my top ten favorite movies of all time in no particular order:

Braveheart
Beautiful Girls
The Usual Suspects
The Outsiders
Good Will Hunting
Donnie Darko
Red Dawn
Empire of the Sun
Die Hard
Clerks

It amazes me that Patrick Swayze is in 30% of my top ten favorite movie list. And if I kept on going further down my list, movies like Road House and Point Break would be on there...

So I say this...

Let's give Patrick the credit he deserves. I'm not saying to give him 20Million a pic or anything, but just be aware, that this guy has put together some GEMS that rank very high on the fuge scale, and while that may not mean Titanic box office numbers...it will probably mean that the dvd will sell very well for $9.99 bin at your local store.

So Patrick...I'm rooting for you to have some sort of John Travolta career rebirth. I don't want to see any more movies like Black Dog...let me give you a hint, chances are he ain't making another movie like Fight Club, so don't sign on to any movies starring Meatloaf. I want to see more of you Patrick...I miss you man.

A Legend....

A few weeks ago...legendary comedian, actor and Game Show veteran Nipsey Russell passed away.

Nipsey was involved during the golden age of gameshows...The 70's and early 80's. You would often see him gracing the sets of The Match Game, Password and later the $100,000 Pyramid.

This is a time that networks filled as many timeslots as possible on their channels with gameshows. And Nipsey was on some of the best.

Is there much better than seeing old clips of the Match Game...With Nipsey, Richard Dawson, Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Riley and Gene Rayburn. With Richard sexually harrassing the female contestants in between cigarettes. Bret Somers hinting at Charles Nelson Reilly's homosexuality (is he gay...I really don't know. I mean I assume he is, but you know what happens when you assume)...and Nipsey with his poems and his comedic routines.

We'll miss you Nips...but even more...we'll miss the Genre, that you helped make famous!

Mini Break

Howdy people, I will be away for a week or so doing important Foundation research in Barcelona and Paris. Although word on the street is that Fuge is gonna be dropping some mad knowledge on you peeps....stay tuned.

Lane Meyer is still my main Weiner Man, but Cusack is just a Dick

I can pinpoint the exact moment when my heart broke, it was in reading this article with Dan Schnieder(Ricky) and Savage Steve Holland (director of Better off Dead)

"So, let's talk about Cusack hating the movie."

The next morning, he basically walked up to me and was like, “You know, you tricked me. Better Off Dead was the worst thing I have ever seen. I will never trust you as a director ever again, so don’t speak to me.”

DS: Are you kidding?!

SS: No, it was that bad. He was just really upset. And I said, “What happened?! What’s wrong?!” And he just said that I sucked, and it was the worst thing he had ever seen, and that I had used him, and made a fool out of him, and all this other stuff.

And I was just stunned, because it was as funny as shit. And he was great in it. And he was helping me edit it throughout the summer.

How did that affect you?

SS: It made me not care about movies anymore. And I didn’t even want to do One Crazy Summer at that point. I was just gone. It was sort of like the break-up that I made Better Off Dead about. It was so out of left field, that it just floored me.

Savage Steve Holland has long been my hero, Better off Dead, One Crazy Summer, How I got Into College....then he disappeared, not caring about movies anymore and retreating to animated cartoons. Damn you Cusack! Damn you straight to hell! You pretentious motherfucker...I loved you goddamnit! You broke Savage Steve's and my heart, you left us for the ski instructor. How dare you, and what have you done for me lately? American Sweethearts, you have the gall to dis one of the greatest movies of the 1980s , and take all your power to star in Must Love Dogs - by and far the worst movie of the summer. Well fuck you Cusack!

The Article that Broke My Heart

Word has it Savage Steve Holland will be back directing the remake of Porky's for Howard Stern...ummm yeah..as long as Curtis Armstrong is in it, I'll give it a shot.

Landslide? WTF

Ok, so I was trapped in my car today driving home from exciting Franklin Mass. WooT!
On the radio "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac - I take serious issue with her poetic license. If you are on a SNOW COVERED HILL, how is that a landslide? Typically a landslide would be the result of rocks falling, or more likely due to wet rainy conditions...its an Avalanche you metaphor ruining donkey! I say if your songwriting consists of only cheesy cliches, take some of your gypsy cape budget and buy a few dictionaries. Besides, there aren't enough songs about Avalanches.

I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
’till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, I’ve been afraid of changing
’cause I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I’m getting older too

Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down

If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe the landslide will bring it down

Chris Elliott wrote two books?

Last week Chris Elliott came to the Coolige Corner theater to hawk his new book The Shroud of the Thwacker. It was fun, he spoke for about an hour or so, until some young James Lipton douchebag wannabe told him to "wrap it up". The place was nearly sold out, I think more people were there to watch Cabin Boy, than people who saw it when it came out years ago. If I remember correctly I was the only person in the theater the first time I saw it. Its an underated classic. Weirdly, I noticed this time that Doc Oc, Alfred Molina, had a bit part in it. I mean who was his agent? He played a teacher at the Fancy Lad school. While on the topic of Alfred Molina, if you like movies with tits and chicks with unibrows and moustaches, check out Frida. I think I'd consider going lesbian for a topless, unibrowed Salma Hayek.

Anway, back to the story, so Chris Elliott did his book reading and someone asked him about Daddy's Boy. Apparently in the 80's Chris Elliot and his father wrote a spoof of Mommie Dearest. Check out the ratings on Amazon, people are shitting their pants over how funny it is. My question, is why did I not know this existed? Amazon Link

Where did I go wrong, am I not the nerd I think I am? I mean i'm at a Cabin Boy screening on a Wednesday night, in the year 2005, and i'm with people who think James Lipton is not the antichrist.

His new books seems pretty funny, its a spoof of Caleb Carr type books about turn of the century New York, it was funny as hell when he read from it, but I'm not sure how funny it will be when reading it. But screw that, I'm getting Daddy's Boy. Dare I combine my life-long love of Mommie Dearest with my warm affection for Chris Elliott? As a small child, I remember loving Mommie Dearest, it would come on HBO and I'd be so happy, my mom and I would watch it together sometimes. One year for Christmas, my mom got it for me on VHS, I brought it back to college all psyched, and people were like what mom buys their daughter Mommie Dearest for Christmas? It was the same year I bought a hand grenade for my brother at an army surplus store and put it in his stocking.

So check out Mommie Dearest, learn to love Chris Elliott and no more wire hangers!

Suicide Girls Interview with Chris Elliott

SPONGEWORTHY

I would like to share with you the conversation that sparked the creation of the foundation. I felt the overwhelming need to share this useless information. I just couldn't stop myself.

I emailed this to a 30 something year old straight male friend with an odd penchant for The Gilmore Girls. In my weird little world information, such as that listed below, amuses the hell out of me. Why? Who knows, I'm a freak that way. But yet, I feel the desire to share, an electronic Cliff Claveness, if you will.

To: Gilmore Boy
Subject: Spongeworthy

"So I was watching the Seinfeld clip show tonight and it turns out the guy who Elaine interrogates to see if he's spongeworthy is your boyfriend LUKE from the Gilmore Girls, clean shaven of course. This useless bit of tv knowledge is brought you to by the Duffless Foundation."

And so was born the Foundation.

Welcome to the Duffless Foundation

Welcome to the Duffless Foundation.

The Foundation promises one thing: useless information that contributes nothing to society. In fact, you will all be dumber for having read this.

Please feel free to share your useless contributions with the Board.
