If you don't put Blue Velvet on the list I will do something terrible to your rectum with a pair of wire strippers.

The book was much better.

Hey Pinback,

What about Close Encounters of The Third Kind? where would you place that one (if you saw it)?

I haven't seen HF yet to weigh in yet as to whether it's better.

The book of The Shining was waaay better than the movie. But I still like this trailer for the movie best:

I fucking hate Blade Runner. It's one of the worst waste of times I've ever spent, both reading anything by Philip K. Dick and watching that piece of crap. So count me as another person who hates that garbage.

I think your list is pretty good. Although I don't think Godfather II holds a candle to its predescessor, a word I know I spellted wrongs.

I also realize that you started this thread over 18 months ago. Am I late to the party or what? I bet your whole list has done changed by now, what with Transformers out and also Bruce Willis' new movie about shooting off guns into the air and not at people.

Which one is Rob?

I'm you?!

Did you log on to your stupid shit while you were here last? Was I taking a crap when you managed to do that?

Are people confused right now?

Do you think you can figure out a way to log yourself off from work, or else do you think I am going to start posting shit that's even funnier than yours while I have this power?

I feel somehow God-complexy right now.

My name is Ben and I am an alcoholic.

P.S. Which one is Rob?

Rob, introduce yourself. Beau is here because in my "top five list of funniest people I know", he came in third, and you came in second, and Clash came in first.

Then over dinner I realized (I don't remember what caused me to realize this) that Clash was no longer worthy of the top spot, so he got moved down, which put Beau at #2 and you (Rob) at #1.

This bothered and continues to bother Beau to no end, and he will likely not stop until you kneel before Zod and relinquish your comedy throne.

Please, in the future, edit your original post thrice rather than posting three times.

I forgot about CEotTK. It is definitely one of the top ten movies of all time. I'll put it... SEVENTH.

Two bs, if you please! Then again, for all I know you're on some strange kick to not spell the names of your friends correctly. I expect that one is currently fuming right now going, "It's BO, Parrish, you dipshit."

Beau is here because in my "top five list of funniest people I know", he came in third, and you came in second, and Clash came in first.

I like Beau already!

Then over dinner I realized (I don't remember what caused me to realize this)

You do your best thinking over meals. If I remember right, you decided the following, with the following meal attached:

- To Leave Colorado (New York strip steak, carmel onions)
- To Rejoin California (Chicken korma with extra basil)
- To Ask Kat on a Date (¼ ounce bottle, Shriller's Kill Sauce)
- To Move in with Kat (Lightly Fried Will o' the Wisp with side of Hot Cross Bun and absinthe)

This bothered and continues to bother Beau to no end, and he will likely not stop until you kneel before Zod and relinquish your comedy throne.

Speaking of movies like Superman II, I did some research on what the lowest-rented movie was on Netflix. It's this flick from 1996 called Chiggers. I just naturally assumed that it was a horror movie in line with other, similarly-titled flicks like Troll or Leprechaun and that reason alone was why it was so unpopular.

But that's not it! The reason it's the worst-rented movie on Netflix is because, when it arrives, the envelope is all floppy. You think to yourself, "Hey... what movie is in here?" and open the Netflix packaging. The sleeve doesn't have any writing on it, so you blow it open to get the disc to fall out, but instead a thousand buzzing chiggers fall out and get in your eye.

That being said, with no actual disc present, its User Rating is still a half star better than "Ghost Rider."

So Ice Cream Jonsey is Rob?

In that case, I know Rob. In case you folks have forgotten, I make an appearance here once every year or so just to keep things lively for you all and to help you stave off the thoughts of self-murder that constantly swirl around and suffocate you.

Now when I do it, people cannot tell that I'm not pinback until I tell them. This little wrinkle might be good for a yuck here and there but it also might send people spinning off into mild pyschoses of their own choosing, which is antithetical to why I am here in the first place.

On the subject of Superman II, I will say that I love that movie. So campy and fun. Better than #1, I submit. General Zod was such a badass. Clark turned into such a pussy, though. How could he get his ass kicked so bad by the guy in the diner? Even if he wasn't made of steal anymore he shouldn't have lost his ass-kicking muscle memory to the extent he obviously did. Sort of took me out of the movie.

Signed,

Not Pinback

P.S. Ben, how long till you actually get pissed and ask me all passive-aggressively to logoff? Hmmm?

P.P.S. Maybe you can start signing your posts with "Not Pinback" and we can make people guess which one of us is the real you.

P.P.P.S. Maybe you are the real you and I'm the fake me and you're just fucking with ME right now. I don't like this one bit. Stop it already.
