Simps, soi disant cineaste once tried to make me feel inferior because I said I'd never seen a Gwyneth Paltrow movie and I had no idea of what she looked like, who she was other than that she is a Hollywood commercial sex freak who sells scented candles she says smells like her vagina.
You might be surprised that I didn't feel inferior, especially to anyone who had seen one of her movies or thought they could possibly be important. He was.
Anybody have a clue what Sparky is going on about here?
ReplyDeleteGwyneth Paltrow? Really? Why?
I knew I could get your attention that way, Simps. Just testing.
DeleteAS the Scotland Yard guy in HELP says "I believe you. Millions wouldn't."
DeleteMillions don't follow your trolling of me and my kicking your ass. I doubt tens do. The kicking might be amusing to them, your trolling is pretty tedious and repetitive.
DeleteThe Mophead movie. I preferred The Muppet Movie. It was wittier. The plot more engaging. The acting was better, too. The singing, on about the same level. But, then, musicals are a low grade entertainment.
Why am I not surprised that you don't understand that HELP is comic homage to the Marx Brothers?
DeleteOh I know why -- because, as all the world knows, you don't understand the concept of humor. :-)

Why am I not surprised that you figure out a way to bring the Marx brothers into this as if that was a guarantee of greatness. Not even everything they did was great. If I was inclined to waste the time to compile the list, I'm sure the list of "homages" real and post-facto assigned which are crap as compared to the original would probably be enormous. Florence Foster Jenkins was the patron saint of shitty homages. She was cluelessly hilarious, bless her self-deluded heart, you're just clueless. HELP! is a movie I never felt the need of seeing twice. It is mediocre mophead meh.
DeleteJenkins was an homage, rather than just a bad singer? In what alternate universe are you typing that drivel?
DeleteShe was a carnival mirror image of greatness who believed itself to be great, like most of those things in crap culture that get called an "homage". If I were feeling better, I'd look up the . . . um . . . "literature" on where the claim that HELP! was an "homage to the Marx Brothers" came from because it sounds like your claim that Dancing In The Street was a call for Black kids to riot from a few years back. Only, in that case I knew it originated in some racist right-wing paranoia mill that someone like you was too stupid and anxious about Black kids to realize had that pedigree. Or did the auteur of it make that claim? I wonder if Groucho ever addressed the idea. You must know that, Simps, tell me where Groucho addressed the claim that "HELP!" was a friggin' homage to his work.
DeleteYou're so right, Sparky. Everybody who's ever heard Jenkins immediately think "Wow, she's doing an homage to Amelita Galli-Curci."
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing. Any time you post complete crap like the above you subtract from the sum total of human knowledge.
I don't know which is the most in evidence, your marginal familiarity with reading comprehension or your complete comfort with dishonesty.
DeleteI think what you mean is you got nuthin'/ I don't suppose you never considered that Duck Soup wasn't making fun of an already well worn movie convention, one which was certainly known to later movie copy-cats.
ReplyDeleteWow. An authentic example of hick Maine gibberish.
ReplyDeleteI'd put that to the test, someone reading your stuff and mine to see which one got that designation. I think an informed reader would realize yours is just the repetition of a NYC area asshole arching is weak backbone and pushing out his his puny chest and trash talking as if people from other parts of the country were supposed to be intimidated by it. You're too stupid to get the fact that the majority of the world is not that impressed, only jerks who aspire to be like you out here are and they aren't that many. I wouldn't bother with that shit, most of the interesting stuff being done is done elsewhere.
DeleteJeebus, this is too fucking easy. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou didn't produce the proof,yeah, you've got that skill mastered.
Delete"I don't suppose you never considered that Duck Soup wasn't making fun of an already well worn movie convention, one which was certainly known to later movie copy-cats."
ReplyDeleteSays the ahistorical movie illiterate who doesn't know the difference between slapstick and soup.
Give me the documentary evidence that someone, as they were making HELP! was making an homage to the Marx Brothers. I challenged you to back up your claim, you haven't taken it as you've never taken any such challenge to back up your claims. You didn't produce Groucho resopnding to the idea that the Mophead musical was an homage to his and his bothers' and their writers and director's work. I'm sorry, Stupy, I don't take anything you say as reliable without documentary evidence of the kind you have never produced.
DeleteThe idea that I'm arguing this stuff with the jackass who thinks Martha and the Vandellas wrote their own songs and played the instruments on their records is too funny for words.
DeleteYou're the one who invented that idea so you could falsely attribute it to me, as you falsely attribute things to me because you're too stupid and lazy to argue out of evidence and reason. You're the one who said those well known violent militants Marvin Gaye and Ivy Jo Hunter wrote a coded message for black kids to come out and riot and spread it on an album called "Dance Party," passing on a message, a song that, when they pitched it to Martha Reeves, she said she wasn't sure she wanted to sing it because she didn't want to dance in the streets, she wanted to dance in a big ball room with good clothes on. The same asshole who, with the massive evidence of the man who reignited the burning cross of the KKK SAYING HE AND HIS FELLOW TERRORISTS WERE INSPIRED BY THE FUCKING MOVIE "BIRTH OF A NATION" THE WORST TERRORIST GROUP IN THE UNITED STATES, AND ITS HISTORY AND THAT OF ALL OF HOLLYWOOD IN PROMOTING RACISM DENIES THAT WELL DOCUMENTED HISTORY. I'm sure you thought Green Book and Driving Miss Daisy deserved those Best Picture Oscars, too, don't you.
DeleteHere's a clue, shithead: Watch the two movies back to back. It couldn't be more obvious, unless if you're an idiot..
ReplyDeleteAnd director Richard Lester's whole career, with the exception of a couple of non-comedies, was explicitly inspired by the Marxes, beginning with his work with Peter Sellers and the Goon Show on British TV. This is not remotely a state secret.
So you're saying he was a copy cat, like I said. But unless he admitted that was his source, Stupy, some bullshit "critic" saying that's where he got it is as meaningless as you, an even lower level bullshit critic, mostly in his and his girlfriend's mind, repeating what the first ones said. But I really don't care, nothing about HELP! or, really, the whole of the Marx Brother's filmography is important. As you'll find out soon.
