HERE’S SOMETHING QUIRKY AND FRENCH

(The guy Soundgarden tried to warn you about)
After the jump is the trailer for Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Micmacs. I saw Jeunet’s Delicatessen a few years back, and I can safely say that it was one of the coolest, strangest, most innovative films that I’ve ever fallen asleep during. He also did Amélie and A Very Long Engagement, so you know he’s not just some Mexican selling oranges on the freeway. Anway, this time around it seems he’s taken his boner for fast, quirky sound edits to a ridiculous degree. Seriously, close your eyes while you watch this and just listen to the sound effects edit. It starts off kind of cute, but by the end it’s like the wacky morning zoo got buttf-cked by Spencer’s Gifts. I kind of hate it. But then, people with speech impediments make me want to hide under the table with a pillow over my head, so I admit I might not be the fairest judge of these sort of things.

Soundgarden broke up before they finished a song called “Knifeman”. The Mighty Feklahr understands it was about an obese accountant from Iowa…
Here’s that guy Soundgarden was singing about
Ty Cobb?
Is a mic mac spitting game through a PA?
Ty Cobb?
Well, he isn’t striking much of a Jesus Christ pose…
This movie is French, eh? I can’t wait to Vichy it!
Being Irish, I crave bland foods like Mick Macaroni & Cheese.
Too bad I’m lactose intolerant.
Stupid cheese, taking all our jobs…
Soundgarden broke up??
NOOOO!!!!!
French movies are always saucey. What kind of sauce, why Jack sauce of course. Who makes the Jack sauce? I MAKE THE JACK SAUCE!!
And the Doobie Brothers!!
I’m glad they warned me about the black hole son.
You fell asleep during the movie Vinksters? The film made you that bordeaux then?
Does Chris Cornell still make music or does he just stand on the corner with a sign that says “Goin’ Hungry”?
noMo-Hell Chris Cornell leaving is the best thing that could have happened, if we can just get him to permanently quit phagging up cool bands (like Rage Against the Machine), life will be good.
Seriously, ever hear Cornell’s solo album? The only thing more reprehensively homo was that “Take a Picture” song by Filter.
Eiffel asleep, too!
Am I the only one with the strange urge to beat the shit out of some Pajibians?
Jack! We all know Cornell’s sign would say “I’m Not Hongraaaaaaaay!” Way to fuck up a joke buddy.
When asked about the film’s potential on the festival circuit Jean-Pierre Jeunet replied, “Oi nous Cannes!”
Chris went Frenchie and fucked up two great bands. His solo stuff is shit. He collaborated with Timbaland for fuck’s sake. At least I’m not bitter.
Anyone else spend the last half of that trailer waiting for David Gilmour to start singing?
‘swi, you’re wrong.
Tis true, ‘swi.
Oh, I suppose it should be noted that I’m like borderline narcoleptic so me falling asleep during something doesn’t necessarily mean it’s boring or bad. I nodded off a little during the cafe scene in Inglourious B.
Swi’s fave song? Pour some shook up ramen.
So I typed “Micmac” into Google translate and got;
noun
1. jiggery-pokery
WTF does that even mean?
You guys ponder it, I’m gonna go get some tacos.
Dude, Lince, next time just blame alcoholism. WTF?
Yeah, fuck Chris Cornell’s solo records!
* slowly slides copy of Euphoria Morning under his desk *
Sorry, Erswi, if I gotta take shit for being a fat psycho, you have to get it for lyric fail.
LOCK THE CASHBOX! LOCK THE CASHBOX!
One thing that I like about Chris Cornell is he’s not in any bands I listen to.
inky-That shit ain’t even funny. What’s next? Your love affair with Bens Folds Five and Dave Matthews Band?
Jack!-Then how the fuck were you so quick with the Ty Cobb joke? Are your Google skills that effing hawt?
Peet -I have Euphoria Morning, too and have spun it many, many times. I was referring to his latest pile.
Soundgarden warned me about Slaves and Bulldozers and now I get to have all of the fried chicken to myself!
The worst thing about Chris Cornell? No sooner than I beat the ghey out of someone, he is out on the curb trying to fuck it back into them!
noMo-That’s fuckin’ wrong. I wouldn’t fuck that album with Lemmy’s dick(s).
Fek –
1. Ben Folds Five were awesome
2. There are wikipedia pages that list all the songs of popular artists.
Fek -agree to disagree
Whatever, just so long as Van Halen never breaks up.
A piece of advice, Fek.
Only pick one fight a thread.
Jack: whatever and ever, amen.
I keep looking at that Harlan Ellison picture and wishing he’d just go take a shit.
Ben Folds question: is the line in Army “Grew a mustache out of mud” or “Grew a mustache and a mullet”?
*gets job at Chick Fil-A*
Fucking Ben Folds Faggots. I hate Bens Folds Faggots.
BTK, I noticed no one went to bat for that Filter song!
The City of Lost Children was one of the most brilliantly original movies i ever did see. Shame about Alien Resurrection.
Carry on.

Hmmm, wonder if the drunkards figured out what the fuck Micmac meant…[reads post]… oh well.
Dino up!
Vince, “Grew a mustache and a mullet”
