Great Scott: Green with Angry

Scott Towler has returned once again, this time with an official name for his column: “Great Scott” selected in honor of an expression popularized by a slightly eccentric Hill Valley scientist named Dr. Emmett Lathrop Brown. It’s also called Great Scott because Scott is descended from Ivan the Great (as well as Ivan the Terrible)

It all started with a memo that we received here at Scrubs last week encouraging all shows to “Go Green.” They listed a variety of ways that we could make changes to better the environment, and even had us appoint a “Green Team Captain” in our production office. His or her job would then be to report back to ABC on the progress we were making as a show.

They were simple things at first: encouraging car pooling, recycling plastic, aluminum, glass and paper products, and finding and kidnapping Ed Begley Jr. and making him do all the work for us. But did it stop there? Of course not. So I got my hands on the “Green Team” handbook which raised some questions. Most importantly: why hadn’t this been electronically distributed to everyone on staff? Not just here at Scrubs, but everywhere, from ABC to NBC, even to the succubus known as CBS. Why wasn’t this ‘handbook’ published independently and then handed out to anyone that works in the business? Did other studios and lots have their own policies. And if they did, does smoking weed count as being green-friendly?

Needless to say, I had lofty goals. Since ABC was spearheading the “going green” contest, I assumed they’d be more than willing to meet and talk about it. Naturally, that would allow us to discuss, in depth, just what they were trying to achieve. So I called ABC. Twice. I emailed their point person, who shall remain nameless, and didn’t hear back. So I emailed him again and got a two line response: “Let’s do this with Jane Doe, our PR person. Kudos!” Great. Thanks for those kudos’. I emailed back requesting the PR person’s name and still never heard back, so I took it one step further and emailed ABC’s green team directly. even emailing them the list of questions I had, in hopes that they would read them. I am sad to say that as of 12:00 o’clock noon on Friday, August 17, 2007 I’ve yet to hear a word. I suppose that’s what I get for writing it in Aramaic.

Converting to Rastafarianism? Tacitly Encouraged at ABC Studios

So this is the dichotomy: a company that cares enough about the environment to create Green ‘legislature,’ but doesn’t care enough to speak with someone who wants to actively spread the word about what they’re doing. Because of that, I’m not really sure that ABC gets the picture . Moreover, if they do, they certainly aren’t practicing what they preach. And I know it’s a bad move to bite the hand that feeds you, but this is an important issue. One that should be taken even more seriously by the huge economic and pop-culture influences in the world today and not just Leonard “Really I’m Deep, I Swear” DiCaprio.

Instead, I sit here considering how of all the industries in Los Angeles, Entertainment (at large) creates the 2nd most amount of pollution in the city. Think about that. All the cars, all the dirty streets and problems…the entertainment industry helps make it happen. And not just because of Rush Hour 3. So ABC, after resuming to respond to me I can only assume that you’re more talk than Larry King and Tom Leykis locked in room with nothing but credit cards, mirrors and mountains of cocaine. At a time when ABC should be acting on their words, they’re just playing the Hollywood game and only caring about appearance. Which is strange because it never seemed to matter all those years when they showed According to Jim.

Great Scott: The 5 Best Animated Television Shows And Their Subsequent Films

Scott Towler has returned to us after two weeks in the Andes spent fighting a scourge of Colombian narco-terrorists. He arrives with nothing on his mind but animated content. That and freedom.

5. Cowboy Bebop

To be honest, I’m not sure if this is even the best anime show, but it has been tremendously successful and it did spawn a movie. Besides, if I didn’t include a token anime pick, the nerds would find me, toss me into a burlap sack, and beat me with stalks of bamboo. Sure, some might contend that Ghost in the Shell beats it out. Others still might say Pokemon. Those people are what I like to call sphincters. Sphincters who will die a slow and gruesome death.

If you’ve ever smoked the hippy grass, you need to watch an episode of Cowboy Bebop. Yeah, the concept of intergalactic bounty hunters with a robot dog does seem absurd, but that’s what you’re high for. Besides, that’s not the essence of the show. Think of it as a a modernist action movie. A Japanese G.I. Joe, with more explosions, T & A, and drug use, with dialogue simultaneously frivolous and gritty, realistic and campy. But the reason to watch this show is the art. Forget the characters, just look at the places they dwell: the backdrops and moving images that set the backdrop. Make a bowl of popcorn, let the action unfold. This is a blunted at 2 AM show.

4. The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show

Rocky and Bullwinkle was distinctly ahead of its time in that it successfully roped in both kids and adults and practically invented the animated comedy non-sequitur. Chances are, if you’re reading this blog, you haven’t seen it. But you’re probably familiar with the ensemble: Rocky, Bullwinkle, Sherman, Peabody, Boris, Natasha, and Dudley Do-Right. Aside from the regular 3-act episodes and plot lines that the show regularly boasted, it also offered snippets just as entertaining as the main event. Aside from the aforementioned Sherman and Peabody, they also had fractured fairy tales, and several others. It was a variety show in animated format, done better than nearly all the programming of the era.

Sadly, I can’t say the same thing about the film. Usually it’s a good sign when a show gets greenlit and turned into a movie. Except when it’s live action and starring Renee Russo and Robert DeNiro. doing comedy (Meet the Parents excluded. Inspired thinking guys. Make a live action movie from an animated show, skip over the gen-y kids, and release it before any of the next generation of kids have any idea what’s going on. Did anyone see this abysmal flick? Well, if you did, write the studio and get your 11 bucks back.

3. The Flintstones/The Jetsons

Lo and behold, Hollywood decided to do it again with this show (and soon to be AGAIN), putting everyone’s favorite nuclear families, The Flintstones and The Jetsons onto the big screen. Of course, we’d be fools not to notice the nearly identical composition of both families: A bumbling father, a reserved wife, a daughter, a son, and a pet/robot. It’s not hard to see where The Simpsons took its format from. (And sadly, the rip off artists like Family Guy/American Dad, i.e. the same show). Not to completely knock Family Guy. The first 4 seasons were superb. But I My point’s just that when The Simpsons sought a model to work from, they looked to America’s first two animated family sitcoms.

These shows had to make the list because they were the first and a whole lot better than a lot of the shitty shows today (Lil Bush, I’m looking at you). With the same animation team handling both, we were able get such inspired work as the classic animated feature The Jetsons meet The Flintstones. Revisiting the movie today might be a mistake. But, not nearly as much as yes, you guessed it, the live action version of The Flintstones. Rosie O’Donnell? Elizabeth Taylor? Crack Coacaine? And to top it off, I hear rumors of a live action Jetsons movie. (With Lindsey Lohan playing Judy Jetson. I keed. I keed. Maybe.)
2. South Park

South Park is one the strongest animated shows ever. In fact, over the past 7 years, South Park has been the best animated show on television. In South Park, Barbara Striesand is a monster, Trapper Keepers pay homage to Terminator II, and a talking towel takes even bong hits bigger than I ever have*. And that’s not even from the movie.

Ah yes, the movie. Even though The Simpsons movie was great and a tremendous return to form, but nothing touches the South Park Movie. Nothing. Well, except maybe Beauty and the Beast, but c’mon where’s the humor? So a clock dances around while a little tea pot has a child named Chip. Big fucking deal. Where’s your bong hits, Beauty in the Beast?

1. The Simpsons

The longest running sitcom of all time. 400 episodes. Branding and franchising like crazy. 18 seasons. Catch phrases, weird voices, archetypal characters, and the largest ensemble cast of any show ever. The Simpsons is #1 hands down. Of course, we can all agree that sometime around season 11 the show took a major nose dive. But still, this is the fucking Simpsons. The show that single-handedly put Fox on the map. By the end of its first season, it was competing against The Cosby Show.

It also boasts one very important fact: this was the first animated show in over 25 years to have a primetime spot. One that paid homage in subtle ways: Adding The Itchy and Scratchy cartoons to reflect the old Warner Bros. cartoons, and lending the middle initial J. to every member of the Simpson family. Why? Think Bullwinkle J. Moose and Rocket J. Squirrel.

Head over to Simpsonize Me and see what you’d look like as a Simpsons character.
* I was blatantly lying. Like any towel could take a bigger bong hit than me.

Great Scott: The Five Worst Movies I’ve Never Seen

Meet Scott Towler. Scott is the author of Scott’s Blizzog, this previous Passion guest post, and a number of erotic cartoons and limericks featuring Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs. In addition to his side career debunking sexual stereotypes about animated little people, Scott has agreed to begin contributing regular film and television posts to the Passion of the Weiss. Gainfully employed in the television industry, Scott has previously worked as the writer’s assistant on the third season of Arrested Development. As for his willingness to write for this blog, I remain baffled.

Odds are this Will Not Make ‘Em Jump Like Rod Strickland

Andy Samberg is not funny. Not even a little. Seriously. SNL’s writing might be weak of late, but its cast is as strong as it’s ever been. In fact, it might even rival the late 90s bunch with Will Ferrell, Molly Shannon and Tina Fey. But really, the only reason why Samberg was brought on was because he and his two friends Jorma and Akiva made a hilarious pilot for FOX a few years back called Awesometown, and Lorne Michaels picked them up as a ‘3 amigos’ deal. If you haven’t seen that pilot, follow the link and watch it. It’s actually quite funny. But still- Samberg isn’t. It’s clear that the talent of their trio comes from the other two guys. Samberg is just the face they put in front of their words.

But my main issue with this film is that it’s going to be a blatant Simpsons rip off. Do you remember the episode when Bart was supposed to jump the Springfield Gorge on his skateboard after he saw Lance Murdoch do it at a stunt show? Well, when Hot Rod finally hits theaters, we’ll all be treated to the site of Samberg’s character (we’ll call him Putz McMurphy) wearing virtually the same animated costume created A DECADE AGO. It’s like making a live action Simpson’s episode and leaving out Bart and Homer? Sounds awesome. An hour and a half of Lisa and Marge. Huzzah!

Hey, Robin, Maybe It’s Time You Started Doing Coke Again, I Mean You Don’t Have to Get All Rick James On Us, But Maybe Just a Bump or Two, or Three. I Know You’re Supposed to be All “Clean” and Everything But I Promise I Won’t Tell Anyone.

Where to begin? Let’s see….old ‘out of touch with reality’ actor gets agents to sign on 2 young up and comers to co-star in a movie that is intended to be a chick flick but is really just a pile of dog shit. Close? Eh…close enough. Robin Williams really should have stopped acting after Good Morning, Vietnam, with the one exception being Dead Poet’s Society. Of course that film really should have been called School Ties II: The Mystery of the Poetry Book. And of course, then they made The Emperor’s Club with Kevin Kline which I think was probably the third film in that trilogy. Anyway, Robin Williams needs to hang it up, be a father, and just pop in at the Laugh Factory and Comedy Store from time to time. Not to do comedy, but rather to chalk a rail off Janeane Garofolo’s ass crack.

Also, Mandy Moore isn’t an actress. She may have done “acted”, but she isn’t an actress. Sure, I guess I feel sympathy for John Krasinski because this could’ve been a great vehicle for him, and now it’s more like, “Hey, my parents are going to see that too!” “Isn’t that cute guy from The Office in it?” Plus there’s the whole Single File Eyes analysis of the movie poster which substantiated that the poster looks suspicious like the female anatomy…Williams being the vag. Go figure, right? But whether or not Williams is an actor or a vagina, this movie will still suck.

Then again, if he were a giant vagina, I’d probably pay to see it.

Thank You For Sucking

Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse: a movie about a chef with a child and who can’t balance her life as a chef and a mother. But don’t worry…Micheal Douglas’ China Doll…Aaron Eckhart and his hair plugs are to the rescue! Ooh, I hope they fall in love! Ooh…and maybe they can open a restaurant together in the end! Yay! Nothing like an open and shut case like this one. When someone writes a script like this, I cry. When someone buys it, I cry more. Then, just when I think I’m completely out of tears, I find out that people actually signed on to make the thing, and it’s going to be released worldwide. This is typically when the tires screech and everyone asks, “wait- you’re joking right?” Oh how I wish I was.

I blame this movie on Al-Queda. Only terrorists could be smart enough to release a film so unappealing…only terrorists could kidnap and force these B and C list stars to act in it…only terrorists could open a Universal Studios Theme Park in Dubai. OK, so that last one may have been an American sleeper cell in Dubai, but still…who gives a crap about the life and perils of a chef? Wait, I’ll tell you who does- children do! That’s why they made this movie and opted not to buy No Reservations. I don’t care how you slice it, this is a movie I will absolutely never see. And if I date a girl that wants to see it, I’ll dump her ass right then and there.

But first I gotta date a girl.

First Come. First Turd.

We all loved Rushmore. It’s like an indie film staple these days. Charlie Bartlett is just another piss poor attempt to recreate a still-good film one that has no business being tampered with. But lo and behold, there’s a whole new generation of young people to sell it to. Here’s a better idea- repackage Rushmore as an anniversary edition jam packed with deleted scenes and commentary from the director, on set carpenter, 2nd make up artist, and 2 extras. Honestly, I’d rather live through the torture sketch from Enter the Wu-Tang rather than watch this preview again.

I don’t have a lot to say about this film, because it doesn’t seem like there’s that much to it. I have to laugh though at Robert Downey Jr’s decision to take this role. I guess when you’re an ex-con, it’s hard to get the parts you want, but if you check out the movie on IMDB, you’ll notice that his character doesn’t even have a name. If he did though, I’m guessing it’d be John Doe. And man, they really pegged him well. Who better than to play ‘The Principal’ (a role ostensibly designed to lead kids to do the right thing) than Robert Downey Jr. “Hey kids, stay off drugs. Give them to me and I’ll…dispose…of them…in my veins.”

I’m Guessing L’il Wayne’s “Caddy” is Birdman. And by Caddy, I mean, Weird Father Figure to Anally Probe And Get Tatted Onto His Breast

OK, OK…I get that Andre 3000 is the “talented” one. Fine. And I understand that there’s a movie called Friday which is popular with the young people. But what the fuck is this? can only hope that it starts as a light-hearted romp in camp comedy. You know the type: a film specifically designed to cater to a black audience, intended to poke fun at the predominantly cracker game of golf, talking about wives and girlfriends, and swinging one’s worries away on the green. Except there’s one problem: most black people DON’T GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT GOLF. (Tiger Woods excluded). So why in god’s name would people think to make a movie for black people about golf?

Also, the whole ‘rappers doing movies’ thing has gotta stop. There are only a few movies in this genre that I can stomach: The Wash, Friday, and MP: Da Last Don. Yeah, that’s right I loved those No Limit and Death Row movies of yesteryear. Fuck it, I loved Thriller too. But this is different. Here, we don’t even have any actual rapping to serve as the backdrop. Instead, we’re telling these MUSICIANS to ACT. Anyone else see a problem here? Well I do, though I still may Netflix this someday, as it looks the most tolerable of the five films we’ve discussed here today.

Honorable Mention Worst Movies I’ve Never Seen:

Mighty Ducks 12, King of the Hill: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, and Girls Gone Wild ‘07: Ixtapa.

Great Scott: The shows you should be watching, but probably aren’t

I was overjoyed when the Passion asked me to do a guest spot on his page. 3 years in this city now, and he’s one of the most stand up guys I’ve met out here, so you can imagine how stoked I was to get a chance to write in his absence. Since none of you have any idea who I am and just how I landed here, I’ll explain…I keep a blog myself. And while it once started as a class project way back in January of 2004, it today has become a sort of pop-culture copy and paste page, where meaningless youtube clips, miscellaneous album reviews, and annoyance with celebrity culture has found a home and come together. If you’re dying to know just what it’s all about, feel free and visit me at Scott’s Blizzog.

Anyway, I work in TV. Comedy, specifically. And if there’s one thing I’ve noticed it’s that TV has been in the proverbial crapper now for almost the entire time I’ve lived/worked here. Sure, I’ve been lucky enough to get some great credits to my name, but to what end? TV hasn’t gotten better, if anything, it’s gotten progressively worse. We’ve ushered in a new golden age for TV drama (snore). In addition, reality television has seemingly found a formula to ensure that it will be around for many years to come (noose). So where’s the comedy? Does it even exist anymore? How can we find it?

Well, that’s where I come in. Instead of sifting through 1000 channels of virtually nothing, I’ve compiled my list of my favorite shows on TV today.

30 Rock

Arguably the best comedy on TV in my opinion*, 30Rock has paved the way for what modern comedy could be. Between the wide range of characters and all around hilarity of virtually every episode, it holds up as the best, even after 1 short season. Tracy Morgan has always been a favorite of mine, whether it be in his early years at SNL, or even is his own short lived comedy The Tracy Morgan Show. In addition, they use a number of current and former SNL players on the show. And if you ask anyone from my generation what their roots in comedy are, they most likely say something like, “Simpsons, Seinfeld, SNL.” And that’s all it takes. Sure today’s SNL pretty much sucks across the board, but that doesn’t mean that players like Will Forte, Andy Samberg, and that other guy get looked over. In addition, the show offers a huge guest cast that stems much further than SNL. Aside from having Alec Baldwin (hands tied) in an awesome regular role, they’ve also employed Isabella Rossellini, Nathan Lane, Molly Shannon. Paul Reubens, Wayne Brady, Whoopi Goldberg, and LL Cool J. The list goes on and on. Speaking of Mr. Cool J though, the episode entitled “The Source Awards,” should win the comedy writing emmy this year, as it was possibly the funniest half hour of TV I’ve ever seen, in recent memory.

*being an NBC page once myself, I have a slightly skewed opinion.

South Park

The genius of this show comes from it’s ability to reinvent itself, even after 10 years. I’ll be honest here, the first 2 or 3 years South Park was on, I didn’t watch it. I wasn’t a fan. In fact, I hated it. There, I said it. In fact, it was only after I grew tired of the same Simpson’s syndicated reruns that I started watching the show. In retrospect, boy am I glad I did though. Aside from being just about as crass and perverse as they want to be, this show calls attention to important political, social, and economic issues almost on a weekly basis. Take this season’s premiere for example, entitled With Apologies to Jesse Jackson, where the show tackled the “n” word (no, not narcolepsy…), drawing national attention and subtle acclaim for bringing a simple issue of syntax to a national audience. In addition, after the writers grew tired of the same old 4 character plots and tired plotlines, they employed a new tactic: taking something that had already been made, and applying their spin on it. This season alone, they’ve rewritten 24, The Da Vinci Code, the 300, and Night of the Living Dead- all to high levels of hilarity. And if there is anything tv viewers like, especially in this day and age, it’s referential work that reminds the audience that even a weekly show can keep up with current events and trends.

The Office

Ahh yes, The Office. From this show, America has it’s new Ross and Rachael (Jim and Pam), their new inept Tim The Tool Man Taylor (Michael Scott), and Bill Cosby reincarnated (Stanley). And the best part- it’s a show that appeals to virtually anyone that works, or has worked, in an office. Wow? Could it be? Real situational comedy that people can relate to? Yes and no. While I do find the show amusing, I feel like it’s already run it’s course. Every episode now is a “Racial Equality Day” or “Women in the Work Place Day.” Whatever happened to just using what you have right there in front of you: interesting people working in an office setting. Situational comedy.

It almost feels like there is just so much more there that they could cover, but they’ve already jumped the shark and are doing all these theme episodes. The archetype of this for me: Towards the tail end of this season, in an episode entitled “Beach Games,” they basically do a reality show on a sit com! I realize the comedic potential here, but leave reality to reality!

Rescue Me

More of a dramedy than a pure comedy or drama, Rescue Me has quickly become one of my favorite shows ever. Whether it was watching Dennis Leary’s Carnegie Hall performance when he championed smoking in a non-smoking building, or knowing that he helped to write, produce, direct, and star in every episode of this series, I gotta love it. This is a man who does it all. Not only do I think he is hilarious, but I also love when he talks about 9/11. A twisted thing to say, yes, but there is just something about Dennis Leary to me that makes everything he touches turn to gold. Even gold. That’s just how good he is. As far as the show goes though…there are some real dramatic moments, scenes of rape, frustration and violence. More often than not, Leary’s demons haunt in throughout each season, appearing as visions to him, prompting him to ask all the existential questions we all ponder from time to time. And the best part is: the show is back, as of last night! Check your local listings, but even if you’ve missed every episode up to today, I promise you’ll be hooked in an instant.

My Life on the D List

(before I begin this one, look at that awesome picture of Kathy Griffin and Perez Hilton! Yay! Wow! Argh I hate Perez, not only is his site total trash, but people tell me I look like him and it makes me want to drink poison…oh, the band, not the substance)

Anyway…this one is a total guilty pleasure, and I’ve gotta admit- a relatively new one at that. I had always heard of Kathy Griffin as the ‘gay friendly comedian,’ so naturally, I never cared to hear her stuff. Wait, that sounded awful. What I mean is that I assumed all her jokes were about the gay community, or you had to be gay to get them, so I just never put 2 and 2 together. Well boy was I wrong. Her stand up isn’t really all that amazing, but her reality show is a stitch. Between her own veritable madness, and all of the people she interacts with on My Life on the D List, you’ll quickly wonder why it was that you didn’t watch this show, asking questions like, “how could I be so ___?” Or, “Why have I never watched this show? Oh yeah, cause I’m a complete ____.” Trust me- and fellas, even if your girlfriend makes you sit through it, just be glad you aren’t stuck watching House of Payne.

Man vs. Wild

If James Bond (the character, not the actor) had a reality show, this would be the one. Discovery Channel’s own Man vs. Wild, and it’s virtuosic host Bear Grylls, are sure to entertain. This guy does it all- skydives, backpacks, free climbs, eats grubs and elephant shit, and gets chased by lions. But he’s still there. And he’s showing you how you can do it too. Ever wonder what it would be like to be lost in the woods for days on end? Or have you ever thought about what it would be like to be stranded on a desert island? Well, Bear has wondered that too, and he shows you how you can survive in even the worst situations. While I had my druthers at first, not knowing how he could ‘survive’ or ‘forage’ when there was a camera right in front of him; he makes a point to say that his crew isn’t allowed to help him. They’re really just there to document it. And if that’s not enough to hook you, how’s this: he broke his back a few years ago, and is already back to skydiving, climbing, and hiking more rigorously than any of us probably ever have. And we’ve never broken our backs. Well, that is, except for those of you who have broken your backs, in which case- my bad!

Everyday Italian

So, most masculine men don’t watch cooking channels. So I know what this says when I put this up here. But rest assured, this is a cooking show for GUY guys (and even the ones with feelings, too). Everyday Italian, hosted by the always big boobable Giada de Laurentiis, is a small show from a small network. But what they show us, on an almost day to day basis, has no tiny element about it. I’m referring, of course, to the epic bust line of the show’s host. Far be it for me to say something sexist here just for a moment, but good god. And the funny thing is, I’m not even a boob guy, but what intrigued me about this show initially was that they started with this slightly unkempt woman in a turtle neck. Now she’s styled, banging hot, and wears a lower cut shirt every damn day. It’s unreal. It’s like watching a cosine graph in a power point presentation, the line follows a pattern, and just goes lower and lower everyday. Maybe that’s why they call it Everday Italian, cause we all get a little more Italian (ie: Giada) everyday. Plus, and I’m not really sure this even has any credence, but I think this woman has figured out a sensual way to cut an eggplant. And she says all of the truly Italian words with this accent. By the time the show is over, you almost hate her. But then she’s back the next day, making hot wings in a bikini, and begging you to take a bite. … This is Penthouse Forum, right?

Clark and Michael

Ok, so this isn’t really a TV show. It’s original internet programming. But it does have a lot of TV personalities on it. That counts right? Besides, by now we’ve all realized the limitations of television today. And when one notes that there’s been a 20% drop in viewership since this time last year, it’s not all that absurd to pitch shows away from TV. The internet, and such booming sites as youtube, myspace, etc…have created a new virtual home for networks, and their shows. The best in the first real batch of these comes from Clark and Michael, both the names of the actors, and the title of their show. You may recognize Michael from the FOX smash-cult-hit Arrested Development. After that show ended, the cast of Arrested Development was one of the most heavily sought after ensembles ever. And it makes sense: critics loved the shows, it had a tremendous cult following, and almost every actor to leave that series has found sustainable work since then. Well, all but Michael Cera. Or so we thought. Between his film career, and other TV guest spots, he friend Clark Duke have developed what is quickly becoming a web hit. I can’t describe this show as much more than subtle absurdism, but I think that really says it all. These guys revel in the most subtle moments, quickly creating absurdist humor. It’s great. Give it a shot, as all episodes are available at their page.

After it’s all said and done here, I know there’s a plethora of shows I’m not even including here. Many of them are good. Some are better than good. Other shows that are worth an honorable mention include Scrubs, 10 Items or Less, Lost, The Sarah Silverman Program, sports, and of course porn. Ahh sweet, sweet porn. I wonder if porno theatres call their popcorn, pop-porn…hmm..well, there’s only one way to find out. I’m off to the movies, but don’t worry- my tivo is set. That’s all for me, thanks again Weiss!
