Month: March 2007

I haven’t read Cell or seen any of Eli Roth’s movies — well, not beyond the first twenty minutes of Cabin Fever, which just didn’t do anything for me, honestly — but I don’t know that I’d use the phrase “famously finicky author” to describe Stephen King. Yes, he’s gone on record often with his disappointment over Stanley Kubrick’s version of The Shining — to the point that he managed to get television-movie remake made — but there’s a long list of crap movies made from his books that he’s kept silent about.

I’ve never posted a YouTube video here before, so bear with me if this doesn’t work:

That’s the first half of the Capper Wiki Msting #3. Basically, it’s an old short film and we made fun of it. I’m happy to hear that a few of my lines made the final cut — but even more happy to hear that plenty of other, better lines did, too. My thanks to Gerson for organizing the whole thing.

Didn’t I just post one of these?

  1. Compass gone, he long has lost his way
  2. So she got bent and raised the rent
  3. I’m coming up only to hold you under
  4. The storm and its fury broke today
  5. Once upon a time there was a little boy who played the ukelele
  6. “Power to the People” by John Lennon, guessed by Kim
    How do you treat you own woman back home?
  7. “Mean Mr. Mustard” by the Beatles, guessed by Kim
    She never stops, she’s a go-getter
  8. Well, the whole thing started at 3 o’clock fast
  9. His fur was stained with the blood of monkeys and he needed time to think
  10. “Smash the Mirror” by the Who, guessed by Kim
    You don’t seem to see me

Have I been posting much of anything else lately? Well, it’s the Friday Random Guess 10. I post lyrics, you try to guess them — we all walk away mildly bemused. As always, good luck!

And here are some answers going back a few weeks: March 2, March 9, March 16, and March 25.
