This week’s comments of the week winner receives Goodbye Solo, which is out on DVD August 25th. I’ll attach the trailer below.
Solo (Souléymane Sy Savané) is a cheerful 34-year-old taxi driver from Senegal hoping for a better life in America. But when the hard-edged William (Red West), a 70-year-old white Southerner, enters Solo’s cab with an unusual request, this odd couple embarks on a journey that will change them both forever.
Winning the International Critics Prize at the 2008 Venice Film Festival, Goodbye Solo was directed by Ramin Bahrani (Chop Shop), a recipient of the 2008 Independent Spirit Award’s “Someone to Watch” prize and who Roger Ebert called “the new great American director.”
And as always, nominate for next week’s comments of the week in the comments section below. This week, there was a clear comments of the week winner. From the NEVERENDING STORY VAN post:
trishalinedm says: Listen you douchbags this is my husbands custom truck that he has had since 79 and is a piece of art. Something that us vanners take pride in something that we work hard for. You guys are just jealous because you couldn’t possibly own anything of value and have to sit on your asses all day because you have no life and rag on anything that you can just to get your kicks and in the mean time you have no idea who this person is you are trashing!! You are trashing his reputation!! Do you know that is a crime to give out false information about people unless you have information to back up your comments that you are sending out to millions of people?? Its called defremation of charachter!! I’d watch your tongues if I were you? How would you feel if you were called a child molestor?? Unless you know the person you are talking about you shouldn’t talk about anyone!! You want to rag on me too? I have a custom truck with a mural of the wizard of oz on it!! These are award winning trucks and we are just 2 out of hundreds of other custom vans out there. And we are very much regular people with ordinary lives!! So you should not speak of what you do not know of!! So get a life douchbags!!!
Sadly, I have to disqualify her on account of the post she commented on was six months old. But “defremation of charachter?” That’s gold. Also receiving honorable mention, Pauly Dangerously in the CABIN IN THE WOODS POSTERS thread, not that this comment seems to have anything to do with that. But it does nicely sum up the mentality of the FilmDrunk commenter:
Påüłÿ Ðąηgęrσűşľγ says: If Jesus was one of us, he’d probably try f*cking the hole in his hand.
Well sure, it’s probably nice and warm. Next up, Vodka in the SACHA BARON COHEN DOES EUROVISION thread:
Vodka says: Eurovision is what you see when you look down your nose at someone.
And from the SANDRA BULLOCK ADOPTS A FOOTBALL PLAYER thread…
Pauly Dangerously says: White people teaching a black person how to be athletic? Yeah, and I learned how to C-walk from Christopher Reeves.
Vodka says: Crash’s Sandra Bullock really disagrees with The Blind Side’s Sandra Bullock.
From the LOVELY BONES TRAILER:
ChinoMoreno says: Every time a pedophile rings, a rape angel gets her wings.
Donkey Hodey says: Alternate Title: Touched By an Angel Who was Touched by a Rapist.
Next up, Pauly Dangerously in the ONG BAK 2 TRAILER, scoring with the always popular comment-meant-to-be-sung-to-the-tune-of-a-popular-song.
Påüłÿ Ðąηgęrσűşľγ says: Tony was a man/who’ll knee you in the face and/backflip of an elephant tusk.
Tony left his home/to live up in a jungle. People said “He’s f*cking nuts”.
Ong Bak, Ong Bak, Ong Bak to where you once belonged…
Meanwhile Oski reminded me of childhood in the GI JOE WON’T SCREEN FOR CRITICS thread:
Oski says: ‘I’m interested to see if Wayans survives the whole film.’ He’ll survive, but the rubber o-ring holding his upper and lower torso together might snap and they’ll need to rig a rubber band to hold him together.
From JOHN C. REILLY IS A VAMPIRE NOW TOO:
Donkey Hodey says: The two warring vampire factions? Crypts and Bloods, of course.
And finally, your winner, I thought Token Black Guy in the I HOPE THEY SERVE BEER IN HELL TRAILER thread was just a slight notch above the competition this week:
Token Black Guy says: If I wanted to witness a stripper mock someone for being a nerd I’d go visit my mother in prison.
Well done, Token, now send me your address to collect your Goodbye Solo DVD. In related news, a “goodbye solo” is what I call it when I masturbate while being ejected from the strip club.



Maybe Trish can throw in a free van rape as next week’s prize.
Goodbye Solo: What I want to accomplish someday.
I had to say Goodbye Solo once my woman watched it with me. I’ll still sneak and watch it every once in a while just to remember how much I miss Mario Van Peebles.
Well done, Token, you’re now at notch one. Nyuk nyuk nyuk.

I am hopeful that the sequel will be called “Take Names.”
Due to blackberry posting, I can’t copy the link AND the comment… So – in the Harrison Ford Mashup post, Pauly got me with this one:
I imagine fucking Calista Flockhart would be like sticking your dick in a basket of hot wing bones.
I didn’t stop commenting because of the site redesign, you silly nut, you. I had to take my pregnant wife to the doctor today. Don’t get all bent out of shape on me now, Vinny-boo. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you.
At any rate, here’s the funny from the day I missed:

Fek: So…Kick-Ass kicks the ass and Bazooka Joe chews the bubble gum?

Chino Moreno: I think that the Tampax commercial before the video clip about bloodsuckers was a nice touch.

Stone Soup: I’m working on a montage of Nic Cage looking dumb. I’m on my third hard drive at the moment.
Fek always yearns to be nommed. Well, here ya go…
(If this is a joke I just have never heard, then oh well. If not, nice work.)

Fek’lhr says:
So, the little old widow lady had been alone for five years and decided to put an ad on EHarmony. It was real straightforward: “I want a man that won’t hit me, won’t run away on me, and is good in bed.”
A few weeks had gone by, and she hadn’t received a single reply. She had all but given up, then one day she hears her doorbell ring!
When she answer the door, there is a middle aged man, a quadruple amputee, in a motorized wheelchair. The widow asks, “Can I help you, sir?”
He replies, “I am here about your EHarmony ad!”
Trying to be polite, the widow asserts, “Oh, well, I am not sure you meet the specified qualifications, sir, I…”
“Oh, but I do!”, he interrupts, “You wanted a man that wouldn’t hit you, well I don’t have arms, so I can’t do that. You wanted a man that wouldn’t run off on you, well I don’t have legs so I can’t run!”
Entertaining the notion, the widow remarks, “What about the part about being good in bed?”
The fella puts on a big shit-eating grin and says, “How do you think I rang the fucking doorbell?”
Confession time: The Mighty Feklahr works for a trucking company, and one of our drivers that He is friends with ALWAYS has a good joke (and virtually never tells the same one twice).
Anyway, this driver (let’s call him Agriculture Prostitution Customer) told The Mighty One this joke yesterday. The Mighty One saw a dick joke thread in the making, and voila!
So, anyway, He cannot take full credit for Agriculture Prostitution Customer’s joke.

Neverending Rape Van III

If he didn’t want us to rape-joke that van, he shouldn’t have dressed it like [that].

JIMBONE gets the funny with the spelled out for everyone joke:

From the “VIRGIN SIX PACK” Twilight thread.
Stone Soup:
I call my wolf gang ‘Motzart.’
[filmdrunk.uproxx.com]
Donk-
I don’t know the French for “Virgin six-pack”, but the Irish term for it is O’Douls.
The Mighty Feklahr thanks those that nommed Him. He was feeling fragile this week. You see, He was raped in a van with paintings of The Neverending Story depicted on it, then sued for defermentation of jenkem. :(
Jimbone’s bumper sticker FTW. Holy shit I laughed so hard I lost my boner.
[filmdrunk.uproxx.com]
I applaud Lawyer of Story:
I say, I say, I may not be some big city lawyer, but I know a thing or two about pursuing unsuccessful lawsuits.
I say, I say, I was once part of a historic case where I successfully sued my very own home dentistry practice.
I say, I say, Mistah Moose, my client is not in possession of a rape van! He owns a Neverending Story van, that is occasionally used for “anally intrusive activities.”

Stone Soup says:
*Stone Soup gazes into his often-faulty crystal ball*
Ah, yes. It’s getting clear now. I see a courtroom. On one side is a man in jeans and a leather vest, accompanied by his wife (dressed the same way). On the other side is a man who clearly woke up late. He is in sweat pants and what appears to be a Primus T-shirt, which is nearly 100% covered in coffee stains and cat hair. He is wearing flip flops.
Wait, now I see the judge. He does not look happy. This is clearly a man who doesn’t take deformation of karaoke suits lightly. He is passing his judgment – and… yes… the vanners win!
The crystal ball is fogging up again – wait, here it comes again…
It is further into the future now. The new owners of Uproxx are sitting in front of their computer. They are thinking. They are trying to figure out how to paint a Last Starfighter mural on a website…
The ball has spoken…

Mark It Zero says:
So, there’s a van painted to look like the Mystery Mobile? Or is it a van painted with a mural of Scooby Doo chracatures? Or is it a van painted with pictures of the Mystery Mobile? Isn’t that like picture of a picture? GRRRR, WHAT IS IT?! Fuck these Vanthusiasts.

I think it’s great that these people actually are getting pissed off that you are doing them a favor by giving them exposure on the internet.

Ohhhh and a giant picture of the Grimace drinking a milkshake on the hood.
