That's a cute pic, though!

Here's one more of Sample looking very Sample-like:

Okay one more:

Sample looks very much like Jonesy

Wait. One more because it's a good shot of Ed's sad face:

Sample's my main homey.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 20:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, that's a great photo.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 20:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay, I like EdChair!

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 20:52 (seventeen years ago) link

That just looks really cozy. The colors are really cool but the content is warm and homey, plus the soft-focus effect of the window in back all make for a great pic.

hubcap is getting surgery today. a tumor removal. all these photos are making me wish the vet would call & say everything is okay.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 20:54 (seventeen years ago) link

oh, sorry to hear it. i hope hubcap is okay.

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 20:55 (seventeen years ago) link

thanks, julia.
sorry to whine in the midst of so much cuteness!

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 20:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Awwww... Sample...
Ed doesn't look that sad in the tv pic.

― Calico (calico), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 20:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Kels, I hope hubcap is ok! Does he have regular vet checkups or did you feel a lump?

― Calico (calico), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 20:58 (seventeen years ago) link

I think Kenny rooting around in my sock drawer is a contender for cutest pic.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 20:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Kelsey, I'm so sorry about Hubcap! I will send out positive thoughts to the little guy.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 20:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Kenny is too sharp to be cute.

A propos of two-character movies, I had an idea once for a movie that was just a guy staring out his office window in a big skyscraper and talking on the phone for 90 minutes. You can see why I'm not afraid that someone else will steal this idea.

― Eazy (Eazy), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:05 (seventeen years ago) link

No surfing internet messageboards?

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Not on his office phone, on a cell phone, like right up against the glass. I guess it could get dark or light or something over the course of the movie.

― Eazy (Eazy), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I would totally see that movie, Eric.

I hope Hubcap's surgery goes well, Kelsey!

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Eric, I like you a lot but I would not go see that movie.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Eric, do we hear the other end of the conversation?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:10 (seventeen years ago) link

thanks everyone.
i found the lump on his side & took him to the vet to get it checked out. i opted to have the surgery & now i'm glad b/c it grew over the holidays! poor guy.
he's so sweet it breaks my heart.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Would stuff happen outside the window?

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link

i like john's question.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I have no issues with eating lobsters but that pic does make it seem a little weird to have three animals of approximately the same size on your floor, only one of whom will soon be eaten.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Would stuff happen outside the window?

Like another, more interesting movie?

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I was just thinking maybe the dude would react if there was something(s) going on out there. But yeah, that too.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

So basically, Phonebooth.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

It would be funny if there were superhero fights, plane crashes, etc. that were just completely ignored.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

slapstick window washers

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:15 (seventeen years ago) link

was anything at stake in 'my dinner with andre?' anything in the conversation, i mean?

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd like it if we didn't hear the other end and that it was still somehow suspenseful, like in Babel, though for 90 minutes instead of 30 seconds. And, yeah, we'd see all the pretty stuff outside, as if this were high up in the CNA building or something. Maybe the guy would go and take a leak at some point and we'd see the rest of the office maze.

I like the trappings of a story like this because it does have to stay interesting and suspenseful. Stephen King's at his best when he pulls this off - there's Misery, and then he also has two novels that only have a single character.

The trouble with this austerity is that Dan and Jordan's ideas sound good.

That's the brilliance of it.

So basically, Phonebooth.

I didn't see that. Premise was appealing, but Schumacher plus Farrell didn't sound promising -- was it good?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:17 (seventeen years ago) link

it's an action flick. aren't you allergic to those or something?

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, kinda. Children of Men was the most technically impressive, but the least interesting, during its final half hour.

I'd like it if we didn't hear the other end and that it was still somehow suspenseful, like in Babel

What part of Babel are you thinking about here?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:21 (seventeen years ago) link

How about a movie where the first half is a dude on the phone and you only hear his half of the conversation, and then the second half is the other person w/their half of the conversation?

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:22 (seventeen years ago) link

john, what was that funny exchange . . . oh wait. i just remembered. you thought that hong kong phooey was a bazooka joe character.

i kinda like your idea for the movie, jordan.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link

It's amazing how my tolerance for working goes right down the tubes after a vacation. I only have to work four hours today and 2.5 into it I'm totally climbing the walls. GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I have to admit, I'm a complete sucker for movies that show the same scene from different perspectives. Obv. Rashomon is the hip reference here, but Jackie Brown does it well, Lost does it all the time (e.g., the Others watching Flight 815 crash, the Tailies responding to Boone's radio transmission), and Babel, actually, has the phone call between Brad Pitt and the housekeeper at the beginning and end of the movie, from each side.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm thinking of the phone call in Babel.

Maybe 10 minutes of phone talk, 10 minutes of slapstick window-washers, 10 minutes of phone, etc.

Jenny, I will not be offended if you skip this movie. Though maybe the guy will get disembowled at the end or something, if that helps.

― Eazy (Eazy), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:28 (seventeen years ago) link

XP: OMG that Hal Hartley movie is all about that! Is it Flirt?

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Last Days did that different-scene thing well (and was also a chamber movie - not two characters, but not many more).

― Eazy (Eazy), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Kelsey, this thread made me realize that I'm pretty ignorant of Hanna-Barbera characters.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Vincent Gallo gives him a blowjob at the end.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

We do hear the other end in Babel, though.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:30 (seventeen years ago) link

In the opening scene?

― Eazy (Eazy), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 21:30 (seventeen years ago) link
