terryfrost at 10:53pm on 06/06/2008Well the podcast programming for 'cast #14 is slowly coming together in my mind. To quote the late Harvey Korman, my mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives. In other words, I'm watching the Comedy Channel with a note pad nearby.
I used to be a lifeguard until some blue kid got me fired. "Larry The Cable Guy".
The problem with doing a podcast about movies date ranging from Melies and the Lumieres up to around 1980 is that there's too much to choose from. Eighty five years of choice and that's more than enough room to never need to talk about chic flicks or inspirational movies about nuns and priests, unless of course, the nuns are sapphic and really pretty. So to get inspiration, I sit in front of the wall of DVDs and drink espresso shots until I see something I want to talk about. One day I'm going to own copies of every movie I saw in my childhood on that wall, except for those dumb live-action Disney flicks starring people like Dick Van Dyke, Kurt Russell and Kevin Corcoran, and The Singing Nun, and Elvis musicals.
Just remember, it's not a misspent youth if you can blog or podcast about it decades later.
Shit, the How To Channel has a show about making treehouses. How cool is that? Some guy is building an 1800 square foot three storey treehouse to live in.
I read in The Age that heavy marijuana use over many years shrinks the parts of the brain that control emotion and memory. Okay... so tell me again how it's different from heavy alcohol use? And to be honest, I never had a heavy dope smoker piss in my closet when I was a kid, make King Street in Melbourne a no-go zone after sunset or get really amorous at a party while saying "I'm not usually like this" to my tongue. I was discussing this with Christine at work and we decided that the best marketing idea for marijuana is to print the word Organic on the plastic bag. People will buy anything that's Capital Oh Organic. I even saw a health food store that was selling Organic Shark Cartilage Extract. Nothing worse than a farmed shark...
Anyway that's it for now. Gotta get creative for the podcast.
