i don’t read tabloids or watch celeb tv news, hell, i don’t even watch regular tv anymore. i just watch my shows on hulu. so i don’t really know much about the olsen girls, except that they are filthy rich twins. so i don’t know if she’s spoofing anything specific in their real lives. but the caricatures that she’s created in these short clips are hilarious and to me could be any young, super rich, self-obsessed, out-of-touch-with-reality celeb girls and still be funny. clever writing and on-point comic delivery! i’m enjoying these digital shorts. there are four so far, can’t wait to see more.
congrats to creator elaine carroll, she’s on to something. i wonder if she’s doing all the writing and directing herself. great job. i could definitely see this as a show. SNL or Comedy Central should be coming a knockin’.

some of my favorite lines:
“you’re like a sister to me, but like how nuns are sisters, black people are sisters, or traveling pants are sisters”
“yesterday i looked at a picture of an english muffin and i’m still full”
“you know babies are fattening, right?” – “uh, only if you get the kind that grows in your belly, like a poor person”
I love this film. so suspenseful! everyone must watch this. best film about modern warfare in the middle east. all the other ones like jarhead are forgettable. but this is going to be a classic. new found respect for director kathryn bigelow.
the last nick hornby book i read was in 2005: “a long way down”. i remember getting it the day it came out and reading it in one-two sittings.
nick hornby is known for books like “high fidelity”, “about a boy” and “fever pitch”, which all got turned into films.
but he just popped into my head today and i started to wonder if he had written anything new.
to my surprise, he had come out with two books since i last checked!
a novel called “slam” in 2007 and a brand new book, “juliet, naked” just three months ago. i guess it’s pretty clear i’m not exactly keeping track of the latest book releases. plus, 2007-2009 has been a crazy distracting period for me.
so i just ordered both of them in hardcover! and i’m glad “slam” is still available in hardcover even though it’s from 2007.
i have a thing about preferring to read hardcover books over the paperback format. the print is larger and easier to read and the book’s spine and cover won’t get all cracked and scratched after one reading. this habit about book quality probably started with my obsessive comicbook collecting when i was younger. i liked keeping my books in good condition and while i’m not that anal or much of a collector of things anymore, some old habits die hard.
anyway, i’m excited to do some serious catching up. it’s been too long since i read something from one of my favorite contemporary writers.
this is from 20 years ago. wow. so be it. talk hard.
12 friggin’ years for james cameron to do another movie! finally!
i can’t believe avatar is finally here!
i had a “wow, i wish i made this” moment after watching this. :P
love it. well done!
