Apr. 21st, 2008 06:38 pmREVIEWS OF THE DUCHESS: FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL.
hilarious.
dear jason segel.
i have been an admirer of yours since "freaks and geeks" and "undeclared." it's good to see you working again; even better that you're doing your own material.
i understand that, by showing your penis 4 times during the early break-up scene, you got some good publicity. and probably more people turned out for opening weekend because of it.
however. while the middle-aged couple in front of me cackled wildly out of delight and discomfort at each flash-o-dick, i found the off-camera slap-slap-slap of your privates hitting your legs as you did the penis dance to be more genuinely funny. sometimes, when we are not allowed to see--but know what's going on with--another person's genitals, it is marginally more amusing.
just a thought.
but hey. you got butts in seats, and i can't blame you for that. show 'em what they want early, and then they can concentrate on even better stuff for the rest of the film. well done.
i haven't enjoyed a movie of this genre so much since "40 year-old virgin." thanks.
yours,
amber.

electroplankton, anyone?
Apr. 21st, 2008 10:28 pmso i did nothing at work today. i had nothing come across my desk and the phones were slow. off to amazon.com. i went through every nintendo DS game available.
and i came across something...odd. and delightful.
it's a game called electroplankton.
actually, calling it a "game" isn't quite right. it's mostly an art-meets-sound thing. you have these beautiful little plankton characters that can record sound and play it back in varying rythms or melodies which you manipulate by moving either them or their environment....i don't know how to explain it, other than you go take a look and play with it yourself.
here's the official page:
http://electroplankton.nintendods.com/flash.html
here's a good youtube.
anyhow. amazon lists the game at $99.00.
i'm not paying $99.00 for this.
but i want it.
and i will use all of my free time at work to find a reasonably priced copy if i have to.
and i will post about it on my lj just in case my techie friends have seen or heard of it and the off-chance that they might know of a cheap cartridge floating around out there or someone who's willing to sell. and for better prices than i've found on ebay.
WANT.
