Well, KD, I'm a teacher and I think what you need to do for writer's block is to fill out this survey:

1. Who is Dave and why do you hate him?

2. Answer: The f**ker I'm gonna punch!! Question: Who is _________?

3. Best book you've read in 2009.

4. What are you writing right now? Not this survey, but the writers' blocky thing.

5. Order the seasons from best to worst.

6. Mom or Dad?

7. How do you feel about saying sorry? When's the last time you did?

8. What movie do you think I (Montambo) should watch to help her love movies, again?

9. What poem do you have memorized?

10. What is your favorite TV theme song?

(Other haters can fill it out, too.)

I hope that helps, but we won't know for a while! I'm going to go youtube Rockford Files.


message 3: by [deleted user] (new)

I haven't seen Hero or Brazil. I need to pay off my library fines Monday so I can put things on hold, again. I'm going to love movies again by the end of the summer by letting myself watch them on my back patio at night while drinking champagne. I love drinking champagne, but I always feel guilty when I do it because it's pretty trashy and dorky when it's out of a mug, but this will be for Montambo's Advancement of Movie Enjoyment (MAME®)!

1. Hate no Daves.

2. Hunger!

3. Cannery Row

4. Two Steinbeck reviews, today (not Cannery Row).

5. Autumn, Summer, Winter, Spring

6. Dad.

7. I'm okay with it. I usually don't notice what I did wrong until someone points it out. Last person I said sorry to was Marie. (((MARIE!)))

8. That new Japanese one about the girl who likes to dress all Gothic Lolita.

9. Richard Cory

10. Wonder Years had a great opener, but that's cheating because it wasn't really a theme song.

I also liked Blossom, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Family Ties.

(Other haters can fill it out, too.)


message 5: by [deleted user] (new)

Yes, this Monday, Seth. I can't make it through the summer without the library. I feel paralyzed.


message 6: by [deleted user] (last edited Jul 19, 2009 05:39PM) (new)

I can't buy every movie I want to see, Seth. And audiobooks cost too much. And I wouldn't try lots of books if I had to buy them, first. It's low risk. I really don't care about the fines, because they're not as high as what I've used.

But go ahead and be smug about it! :)


message 7: by [deleted user] (new)

Okay, I listened to both of your theme songs and they both were familiar and jaunty!


message 8: by [deleted user] (new)

Seth, what year is your Brazil? There are a few listed.


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

Okay. I'll put them both on hold, Monday.


message 10: by Dave (last edited Jul 19, 2009 05:55PM) (new)

Dave Russell 1. This one, lately

2. This guy as soon as Alfonso finishes his invention.

3. Nine Stories by Salinger

4. A hilarious status update for Facebook that quotes some popular song.

5. Summer, Spring, Fall, Winter

6. Your mom

7. I never say I'm sorry. It shows weakness.

8. Night of The Hunter. It was on TCM the other day.

9. "Nothing Gold Can Stay."

10. This one


message 11: by [deleted user] (new)

I saw "Night of the Hunter" with someone. Hi, Someone! If you're there!


message 12: by [deleted user] (new)

You know what part I like in Night of the Hunter, Dave? When the kids are on the boat and they're going by all those mechanical animals. It's surreal.


message 13: by Dave (new)

Dave Russell Did it help you love movies again?


message 14: by [deleted user] (new)

It was back before I started hating movies.


message 15: by [deleted user] (new)

What movie, Seth?

Dave, what is Alfonso's invention?


message 16: by Dave (new)

Dave Russell The one that allows you to punch people over the internet. Or was it stab? Anyway, I think the technology's the same for both.


message 17: by Dave (new)

Dave Russell Have you seen Half Nelson Sarah? It's about a teacher in the inner-city, but it's completely different than your typical "inspirational teacher" movie.


message 18: by [deleted user] (new)

Yes, I saw that. It was harsh, but good. I love him.


message 19: by smetchie (new)

smetchie | 5729 comments My favorite part of Night of the Hunter is when the little sister thinks the bad guy is just swell and says "Aw. You're just foolin'! My names Pearl" Her accent is horrific and fascinating.


message 20: by Dave (new)

Dave Russell I also really like this theme, especially with the video.

Malbadeen I hate Dave Mustang but I believe we've already covered that.

Sanford & Son The greatest theme song EVER!







message 23: by [deleted user] (last edited Jul 20, 2009 07:57AM) (new)

I don't mind violence, sometimes. It depends. Do they torture a police officer in a warehouse? Cause I can't really deal with that, apparently.


Reads with Scotch dogs was an awesome flic!~


message 25: by [deleted user] (new)

Yes. I know. And horrific.


message 26: by Stina (new)

Slumdog.

I have quite a bit of Yertle the Turtle committed to memory.

message 28: by [deleted user] (new)

Kristina, is it Adam H?! Forget that loser!!!


message 29: by Stina (new)

smetchie | 5729 comments just the first verse. Is that a poem? I know lots of dumb kids poems and dumb kids songs that I wish I could dump. I hate storing stuff I don't need.

Just a silly pretty boy who is going to die alone, clearly!


message 34: by Dave (new)

Dave Russell Oh yeah, you should definitely watch All The Real Girls if'n you haven't already.

Rusty (rustyshackleford) | 2198 comments 1. Who is Dave and why do you hate him?

Letterman. I don’t hate him – I’m just disappointed that he’s not as funny as he used to be.

Starship Troopers

Mom. Dad’s okay, but he wasn’t home very much growing up, so I don’t know him very well.

7. How do you feel about saying sorry? When's the last time you did?

Not a fan. I don’t know, but it was probably said to the wife, and I probably died a little inside when I said it.

Arsenic and Old Lace. It’s good, and it seems like a Tambolina movie.

9. What poem do you have memorized?

None.

Small Wonder.

Kidding, kidding. How about Welcome Back Carter?

smetchie | 5729 comments Rusty how dare you bring that up. oh my GODINHEAVEN that show irritated the living hell out of me. Jesus Christ that was the worst crap ever. Somehow that godforsaken show made it into syndication and they played it EVERY day at the exact time I got home from school. I would jump up and try to change the channel before it could ruin my day but I didn't always make it.


message 39: by Rusty (new)

Rusty (rustyshackleford) | 2198 comments You hated Welcome Back Carter that much, huh? Get it, because you're old? Okay I'm done. Gotta go.
