I'll be travelling to Maine's
Kennebec River valley for a week of glorious rusticity. No
internet access electricity or hot running water for a week- just a glorious time paddling around one of the
great ponds of Maine, swimming in water pristine enough to drink, and hiking in the backcountry. While the ancestral manor of the family (a home built by my great-grandfather, and his compatriots who all pooled their labor to build homes for themselves) is in the Bronx, the two room cabin in Maine also looms large in the family history. The first trip to Maine is a family rite of passage, and the dirt roads and pristine waters are just as much a part of the family legacy as the elevated "6" train of Westchester Avenue and sadly non-pristine salt marshes of
Pelham Bay.
Thankfully, there are no
two-toed sloths in the Maine woods (I couldn't find the "shithouse troll" animation, which I would have embedded. Also, I was going to
embed this video but st00pit Youtube won't let me do it.
At any rate, I'll be back in a week... don't break the internet while I'm away.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 328 of 328hey! an english manor house with Zorbs growing out of the roof!
Can Huge Lagomorphs be far behind?
I AM FAR TOO UN-STONED FOR THIS!!
Non-stoned?
yes, this will be staying in my netflix streaming queue FOREVAH.
oops, dropped your gun.
FumbleZed.
the two women are diggin where Sean is remembering the beach-rape. What, the Eternals are descended from Ayn Rand?
"No Brutal ever pnetrated the Vortex" O WHAT A GIVEAWAY!
Sean is also wearing a chest merkin.
CHARLOTTE RAMPLING HAS APPEARED!
the brutals are killing all the people who wore sportcoats to the beach.
wow, the blocking is terrrible. people wandering around meaninglessly, looking off to the side.
Goats. GOATS AN MONKEYS.
and a fey curly haired blond guy who likes whipping Sean Connery.
WHAT COULD THIS MEAN?
ooo, a mirrored pyramid in the garden. sweet.
Sean is so wasted, he just lies there all splayed out. I bet they had to write those scenes into the movie.
"OK, Sean, just lay there staring into the screen."
the bread is made with green dough.
NOW THEY ARE STEALING FROM SOYLENT GREEN!! ALL THE SEVENTIES DYSTOPIA MOVIES ARE GETTING MIXED UP.
wait, the renegades live at teh Starlight?
..I guess that makes a kind of sense.
there's a whole batch of extras whose only job is to wander around, looking colossally stoned.
..I guess that makes a kind of sense.
Charlotte's got quite a wig. Surprised it doesn't break her neck.
HOLY HELL, MY DOG JUST FARTED. LOOK, IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE MOVIE, GO UPSTAIRS!!!
now the eternals are showing Zed dirty movies.
the netflix description calls this a 'cult classic'
What cult other than us in the bloggerhood?
May has decided that Sean is a mutant.
YOU DON'T NEED TO TELL ME THAT.
they are all wiggling their fingers at teh curly haired guy, who does not want to go to second level.
he seems uncomfortable with the wiggling fingers. That does seem to be a cruel thing to do to a guy on an acid trip.
"does this bother you? I'm not touching you!"
now he's passed out and drooling on the mirrored round table.
SEAN JUST FAILED 'MIMING THE INVISIBLE BOX'
Zed is being attacked by a bunch of Old Eternals in tuxedos. He strikes back with their own crutches.
why did the other eternals only age one side of Friend?
Charlotte and sean are having a tug of war with a tie-dyed sheet?
And then he pulls her top off.
And then he's blind. Charlotte's nipples can blind?
OK, I lived through them, but I am not sure I really understood the 70s.
OK;
a scene where the Eternals wander around the grounds of an English Manor House, while the grubby proles stand outside, beating on the force field with sticks.
So, a vision of the Republican World, then.
too many Connery buffalo shots for me in this movie.
Charlotte's pretty pissed that Zed busted out of that plastic bag.
Now Connery just ate a leaf. That was pretty blatant.
Of course, it leads to a drug sequence. Another one.
Whoah. It's getting MOAR incoherent.
Sean is wearing a bridal gown now.
Zed is being filled up with knowledge. Pretty much like putting the Library of Congress on PalmPilot.
I have to figure out a way to get this to stream on my iPhone. Portable Zardoz!
whew. Zed has gone to culottes and a vest, rather than the diaper. A welcome upgrade.
OK, Charlotte Rampling spends most of the movies trying to kill Connery
So how does she end up with him, again?
ANOTHER drug sequence. In a house of mirrors and Kaleidoscope-scope, featuring all Sean's old girlfriends.
Shouldn't be shooting that gun in the Hall of Mirrors, Zed. Pretty sure of that.
See? cuz now you just killed yourself.
Sean passed out at the desk in teh Library. Something tells me that was not acting.
Now, after the last druyg sequence, Zed's hand can make the film run backwards. It's Magic!!
the really old guy is dead, which seems to surprise the Eternals.
Of course, this causes the floating stone head to crash. Obviously.
Blue Head Scarf guy is coming in and acting all Captain Exposition.
SHOOT HIM AGAIN, ZED!!
MB is calling me a drama zombie. Also.
AUGUST 8, 2010 5:46 PM
wow, the blocking is terrrible. people wandering around meaninglessly, looking off to the side.
AUGUST 8, 2010 9:43 PM
Not doing so well at disproving it, are we?
Also, I am watching a Bob Hope movie. Now we know who the drama zombie is.
O crap, now it's wiggly finger time again. Singing Eternal is standing on a pedestal in the middle of the pond, and she says "Now We Can Say Yes To Death." A simultaneous Saying Yes and Zombie shoutout!! AWESOME.
And now the rest of the red-plaster-head guys show up with guns. Kind of like when the Europeans came to America.
151, then 251. Be back at 351.
M BOUFFANT DISSES ZARDOZ.
this is not allowed.
FINALLY, THE RAMPLING SEX SCENE.
whle Zed's colleagues mop up and a chamber orchestra plays.
Now the time lapse Zed/Charlotte family scenes. Skells holding hands, you betcha.
Good. Lord.
Also, I am watching a Bob Hope movie.
Not enough Rampling.
whew. I feel a bit like Charlotte Rampling here.
That was good. I need a cigarette, or at least another drink.
well, there goes BBBB's productivity for Monday. You're welcome.
Captain Hammer, Corporate Tool.
Yes, I am following up with Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog.
Have we broken the internet yet?
Synchronicity! Giant floating heads!
I feel vicariously Rampled now. Also dirty.
Zardozer.
Now with extra Zardoz.
~
still not broken. The intertron is hardier than it used to be.
well, I tried. Perhaps if I had watched Bad Ronald too.
Over to you, Von!
*BOOP*
Mandos is Von?
I would NEVER have guessed that.
It's possible that I'm everyone you haven't met and at least one person you have.
More than one assuming hive minds.
I saw "Empire of the Ants" on TV last night. Good stuff!
It's possible that I'm everyone you haven't met and at least one person you have.
hah! you can't blow my mind.
I JUST WATCHED ZARDOZ.
On your iPhone?
no; the video-fascists at Netflix say "streaming does not support your operating system."
so it's Youtuber!
hey, wait.... I see what you do there.
WOW
Hey, is B4 not back yet?
This thing is pretty big.
but is it bald and bad?
sorry I wasnt around this weekend.
some stuff and things going on.
Um, noooooo
Mandos is NOT Von.
Just sayin'
and with today's massive eye pain nastiness,
mandos wouldn't want to be von.
b4? knock knock knock?
Are you home yet?
love how Z knew I was coming over here.
I guess I do do whatever I'm told to do on teh fb.
ZARDOZ KNOWS ALL.
Helloooo
What is going on over here?
resting.
trying to get the work done that I should have been doing last night when I was Zardoz-blogging the Zardoz.
Let's take it to 300 before B^4 checks in, shall we?
Jennifer's going to be sad she missed this one.
wv was quakers.
make of it what you will.
Von must be werking.
really, I didn't expect to have to keep on carrying this today.
Do I need to watch Zardoz again?
it
expected
of
.
It's a smoking jacket, or would be if I smoked.
that is why the jacket does it for you...
I knew you'd do it fish.
If Jennifer had showed, we'd have hit 500 easy.
600 if she used the opportunity to vent about her basement. Or vent her basement.
Is this thing still on?
~
Apparently so. A Zardoz always benefits from Kathleen live-blogging the Olympics, or some such, ZEM.
~
700 if she had live-blogged Bad Ronald.
ZEM = REM, but with more Zombie.
I meant to type ELZ, Emerson, Lake, and Zombie.
~
All four yur own gude, ELZ.
~
You're Zombuzzled.
Is what you are.
Still not dead yet...
~
If your arguing, I must have paid.
O fish.
We all know that you will argue whether you've paid or not. We know you too well, my brother from a fishy mother.
Still not back yet, huh?
that's kinda too bad
fish - one word post fail
I always try to do at least one sentence....
with LOTS of punctuation!!!!!
annoying word verf is annoying
hah. My feed showed the first two VonComments in reverse order, and it didn't make sense.
Now I see.
Hope your eye is better Von.
I told you! B^4 became a bit character in a Stephen King novel!! The guy from the city always gets it. or gets et.
Z, I need a picture.
You halp me?
Brando? you out there? I said "halP" again....
here i am.....rock you like a hurricane
dun dun dun dun dun dunnnnnn
last word verf: latoya
um ok
new word verf: denalist
Eye much better. Sensative, a little red and swollen, but better.
Should be 100% by Friday.
is ok, I never make sense, no matter what order I'm in.
Nah, I dig B4 too much to lose him to a Stephen King novel.
fly by night....away from here....
love this radio station.
329 comments? This is like a Sadly, No thread, except with less actor-talking-about-tits.
You! Yeah, you in the red diaper and the hooker boots... CLEAR OUT!!!
We all know that you will argue whether you've paid or not.
No I won't.
you in the red diaper and the hooker boots
I can't help but feel that comment was directed at me.
No I won't.
Ooo, I felt that was a bit predictable.
Ruh Roh, he's baaaack
Not a Stephen King novel, but "In The Mouth of Madness".
He's back... but he's changed
B^5.
~
Wow, my blog still smells like Zardoz...
Don't taunt. We can start this thing back up again....
....or maybe not. Who am I trying to fool? Nobody can be arsed to blog anymore, let alone pull off a good old fashioned Zedding. I may have to change my avatar. Or just stick with posting at the Empire.
Sigh.
What has two thumbs, more or less, and comment notification for this post turned on?
THIS DEAD GUY.
I could just take it to 400 and call it a day.
Von stopped talking to me, then stopped blogging. fish stopped blogging or commenting. Jennifer is busy with other venues.
All my Zardoz compatriots are gone. I probably don't care enough to keep up the meme.
