Dear God, sorry to disturb you but I
feel that I should be heard loud & clear.
God, The Devil & Bob. Try
ZZZ, The ZZZ & ZZZ. And I
thought Adam Sandler was the unfunniest thing on the planet.
What lazy, stupid and boring television. A sort of My
World & Welcome To It quality to the
animation, but the show is crap. And you folks in South
Bend - I hope you picketed WNDU after they cut the
broadcast. WNDU. The people who still employ Dick
Addis are afraid of blasphemy? What a bunch of stupid
fucks. Guess what? Jesus fraternized with whores.
Dump that Sunday Mass show, too! Run Small Wonder in
its place - the masturbation episode, please.
Favorite Album Of All Time This Week©:
(and answer to last week's QOTW©) Their Satanic
Majesty's Request - The Rolling Stones
Speaking of uptight religious
assholes... Proposition 220 passes in California.
Unbelievable. People who want to be together can't.
Legally, at least. "Well, it says homosexuality's wrong
in the Bible, Lee. You know, that book about giants that are real,
people who turn into salt and burning bushes not caused by venereal
disease." Why not let 2 people marry? Hell, if
anything, it's more work for those blood sucking divorce lawyers
when it doesn't work. Imagine THOSE settlements... Oh
well, so much for calling it "the left coast."
Favorite Album Of All Time This Week©:
Antichrist Superstar - Marilyn Manson.
I wasn't born with enough middle fingers either!
Tried again to find the appeal in Freaks
& Geeks. I came to one conclusion, though -
Attention Freaks & Geeks fans!
Don't miss the next episode of God, The Devil &
Bob! Sheer television genius rivaled only by Freaks &
Geeks! Hey, maybe WNDU shouldn't show F
& G either. Not because it's sacrilegious,
but because it sucks.
Son Of The Beach.
Now THAT'S funny television. No attempts at making you ponder
your place in this sometimes funny, sometimes sad world we live in. No
attempts to give you a character that you can relate to or
"live through". SOTB gives that shit the big F
You and just makes you laugh. Hard. This
show succeeds where shows like The X Show and
The Man Show fail. SOTB may
be crass, sexist and low ball - but it's clever. And funny.
Did you watch the Screen Actors Guild Awards? I didn't, but
I did see the "friend" Cannedham Mannheim Steamroller
brought with her. She must get paid quite well to afford to
pay for ass like that by the hour.

LEE on DVD This Week©: The Beach
Boys Endless Harmony [Brother/Capitol]
Well, there's got to be one positive thing this week, right?
Well, here it is. This DVD will give you the excitations,
surfer girls & boys. Now, the special (which originally
aired on VH-1) wasn't that great. Way too much of Mike Love,
the cock, being - well, a cock. But the footage and
performances are fantastic, and the DVD has superb extras.
Bonus performances, including the "promotional films"
(read as: videos) for tracks like "Sloop John B" and (one
of my personal faves) "Friends". Plus, there are 7
songs remixed in 5.1 Surround, including "Surf's Up",
"Sail On Sailor", and "God Only Knows".
All of these audio tracks are backed with images from the era -
including film & stills from the recording of Smile
during "Surf's Up". Hell, that's worth the price of
admission right there. The soundtrack's been repackaged
to match the DVD keep case, too. If you don't have that, get
it. Maybe God is good.
Question Of The Week©: What is
the one movie/performance/TV show, etc. you're waiting for
anxiously on DVD? For our analogue friends: What is
the one movie/performance/TV show, etc. that would make you go out
and buy a player tomorrow if it were released on DVD?
