Hmmph.

How is Pittsburgh the most misspelled city in America? TuscFUCK

[pause]

Tuck-son is way trickier.

You think "S-C" as in "science," but it's "C-S" as in...uh..."computer science"?

"Csar" is not a word.

13. Detroit

How do you misspell "Detroit"?

I'm surprised it doesn't have eyes on it.

I would've guessed Avatar. Or fried chicken.

"I love you more than rainbows."

Congratulations to Dogtooth for winning the Adam Riff™ Tchotchke for "Best Picture."

Catch it at SXSW if you can.

Halloween 2010

I feel like a film involving a werewolf in Mexico should end with a confrontation with El Chupacabra, but the synopsis reads like An American Werewolf in London in Mexico.

I also feel like the reverse scenario would be more interesting.

Oh hello!

Idea: An American Werewolf vs. a Mexican Werewolf.

Not Another Not Another Movie (2010)
This film has everything that an audience wants from a LAUGH OUT LOUD COMEDY by taking a no-holds barred attack on the Spoof Genre. [source]


"...including that trip to Mexico, man, which I wish I remembered more of."

Someone uploaded the best part of Gaspar Noé's Enter the Void to YouTube:

24 Secret Restaurant Menus Revealed

You can get poutine at KFC? And stuffed crust pizza at Little Caesar's?

I'm skeptical that KFCs keep a secret stash of cheese curds, but I intend to investigate.

Chicken and Waffles - This is a McGriddle sandwich with chicken in the middle.

That's chicken and pancakes!


"no..."

Kurt claims that he's never eaten a whole pizza by himself before, and considers it weird that I have.

"you do this a lot?"

Kurt also claims to be fat. How can you be fat and have never eaten a whole pizza by yourself before? Shit, I've consumed whole deep dish pizzas by myself before! Large ones!

I can't possibly be in the minority.


McKern's not sure if he's ever eaten a whole pizza by himself before.

"yeah, probably."

How do you not remember if you've ever eaten a whole pizza by yourself before? Especially if you don't drink or smoke!

You people...

Honourable mentions:

"Nets beat Knicks again, improve to 7-55"

"MLB 10 The Show is such a comprehensively detailed game. Victor Martinez flexes his bicep at each base on a home-run trot."

"The night after WrestleMania, step into the whirlpool for what is sure to be a hysterical night as the cast of Hot Tub Time Machine guest hosts Monday Night Raw."

Previously on Adam Riff™:
It's a competent film with a bang-up opening, but also a fairly inert one. Trombley in Generation Kill conveys "war is a drug" more affectingly.


If The Hurt Locker wins "Best Picture" on Sunday, I will have seen the three most recent "Best Picture" winners in the same theatre at the Toronto International Film Festival.

In fact, I saw The Hurt Locker and Slumdog Millionaire back-to-back.

I didn't plan on seeing The Hurt Locker, but ended up exchanging my ticket for Religulous to see it because I wanted to sleep in for a day.

"What is available? Bomb disposal? Point Break? Okay!"

I maintain that Generation Kill is better.


The 81st Academy Awards featured five former winners present each acting award to that year's nominee class.

This year's producers announced that they would have "friends" of each nominee present, saying that this will give the presentation "connectivity."

Kate or Ana-Lucia – who will join Charlie and Jin in the "Best Picture" Cast Member Club?

By my count, three cast members of FlashForward have appeared in a "Best Picture."

"Pass me another fortune cookie."

"What for?"

"I don't like this fortune. 'You will be involved in many humanitarian projects' – that sound like me? NO DEAL!"

"You can't change your fortune."

"I'm not changing my fortune – I'm merely deferring the first one. I saw a bedroom set, and I want a car. The second fortune, however, may involve [blank] instead. Come what may."

"What is...[blank]?"

"It's a thing. Nine consonants and seven vowels."

"September?"

[pause]

"You know... Alaska. Hawaii."

"Non-continental states?"

"Paris. Sydney. Hawaii."

"Oh for fuck's sake. PASS me another fortune cookie already!"

[...]

"'Your short term goal will soon be realized.'"

"It sure will. Fap fap fap."

[pause]

"Pass me another cookie."

"A third, er, second fortune? But..."

"I'm not changing my fortune – I'm merely attempting to enhance the one I received. No risk, no reward."

"You sure about this?"

"Positive. Final answer. Come on... No Whammies!"

[...]

"'You will be showered with good luck tomorrow." EH?"

"So your short term goal is to be showered with good luck?"

"Ha! I will be a humanitarian project!"
