huh?
This season seems to be aiming for the more ridiculously silly moments than the last two. Charlie has gotten pathetic and odd. But the end of the one tonight clearly set the foundation for what’s to come, i’m sure. I didn’t know the name of the episode, or even the first, but I like it.
I’m liking the way Californication is progressing as a series. Hank moody is such a likable guy and Runckle, Have you ever felt more sorry for a fella? He’s not a bad guy just seems to be the perpetually “day late and a dollar short/wrong place wrong time” guy… it’s funny that his no charm is almost a charm all it’s own. Not digging hank’s stripper student though, she has a decent enough character (So far) and her boobs look like they’re gonna look pretty good but her face doesn’t it do it for me!

Charlie’s deal is to dive into something dick first and screw himself later in the long run. Just seems like everything he does just gets worse and worse, and continues to dig his hole deeper. I thought it was hilarious in the first two seasons. Especially, when he got shit-canned from his agent-job for beating off in the office. “Nobody wants to see another man’s Oh-Face”.

Oh yeah! [laugh]
My deal with Charlie Runckle (well, first off, listen to that ridiculous name) is that you can tell he’s gotten the short end of the stick probably his whole life. Occasionaly he catches a break, but then in an effort to affirm to himself that’s he’s cool, and he’s always been cool, and that his loserness was just a string of bad luck that is now over with, he completely dives into something bigger than he is or beyond his control, and as you say, just completely digs himself into a hole deeper than what he previously dug/lucked himself out of.
For example you know he doesn’t wanna fuck Kathleen Turner, HE DOESN’T, but the guy breaks for whatever reason (as the previews have shown us) and when he does, he gets caught. Damn, that’s some sad shit! and it seems his problems/dilemmas always work out that way!
BTW, what fuck happened to Kathleen Turner? She used to be somewhat attractive if my memory of Romancing the Stone serves me well, but jesus, now she looks like an old leather bowling ball bag combined with an NFL defensive lineman! but with a gruffer/deeper voice!
My hats off to the creators/marketers of Californication because they made it seem like it was just going to be an excuse to show a whole gaggle of boobs on my tv…which totally got my attention, but it turned out that there was actually fun story lines and wonderful character development involved in the series!

Yeah, time hasn’t been too kind for her. And I agree, that’s a pretty good summary of charlie.
Did you notice that Hank’s book titles are the titles of Slayer albums?
strange to mention mrs turner. I just saw this old movie alled prizzi’s honor, or something, with her and jack nicholson. he plays a mob hitman who falls in love with her. It won a bunch of awards back when it first came out in the early 80’s or whatever. Nicholson’s italian is kinda like the way e played hoffa but funny instead of angry. good movie… don’t make em like that anymore

I don’t think I ever paid attention. But that “movie” he condemned and then fucked the director’s wife didn’t have a slayer name…
fucking and punchin wasn’t a slayer title…
elaborate please.

I have season one and two. I haven’t seen any of season three.
A Crazy Little Thing Called Love was based on his book God Hates Us All, but he didn’t have control over the movie.
If I recall correctly, Mia retitled the book when she stole the original copy from Karen and made a copy (the original hunt and peck was lost when the new Porsche was stolen), she retyped it - changing a few things, and then took it in to Dani to sell it.
In an episode of season one, he’s interviewed by rollins. He gave a run down of the books, and yeah, all slayer albums. Think Seasons of the Abyss was another one.
Any of you know Anthony Kiedis has tried suing over the name of the show? Might still be going on, if it hasn’t been thrown out already.
Never noticed the titles but now that you mentioned it I guess I did know God hates us all was the original name of the movie. good catch! I had forgotten the manuscript had gotten stolen…

Yeah, I had heard that. I think that’s bullshit because who knew anyone could copyright a word… Not only that but that word was around long before RHCP came around. BUT I had heard they had settled out of court. maybe I’ll check wiki perhaps they’d have something on it.

I stand corrected and it would seem that Showtime seems to be on the winning side of this. From Wiki…
The Red Hot Chili Peppers filed a lawsuit on November 19, 2007[14] against Showtime Networks over the name of the series, which is also the name of the band’s 1999 album and hit single. They state in the lawsuit that the series “constitutes a false designation of origin, and has caused and continues to cause a likelihood of confusion, mistake, and deception as to source, sponsorship, affiliation, and/or connection in the minds of the public”.[15] Pointing to Dani California, a character who appears in both the series and three songs by the Red Hot Chili Peppers (including Californication) as well as confusion when shopping for their album and that of the series soundtrack, the band members are seeking unspecified damages. They are also requesting that a new name be found for the TV show.[15] Showtime Networks is expected to argue that the band did not in fact create the term Californication. They point out that the term appeared in print in Time Magazine in 1972, in an article called The Great Wild Californicated West.[16] Canadian art-rock band the Rheostatics also released an album called Whale Music in 1992, with a song called “California Dreamline”. In this song, the word Californication appears in the phrase “Californication, spooning in the dry sand”.[17][18]
Kim Walker, head of intellectual property at Pinsent Masons, states that the band should have registered Californication as a trademark. Instead, the only application for such was filed in April 2007 in the US, by Showtime. The mark has not yet been registered. Walker has also stated:
“Successful songs, albums and movies can become brands in themselves. What’s really surprising is how few songs and albums are properly protected,” said Walker. “The Chili Peppers could almost certainly have registered a trade mark for ‘Californication’, notwithstanding Time’s article. They made the word famous, but it doesn’t automatically follow that they can stop its use in a TV show.” “If they had registered the title as a trade mark covering entertainment services, I very much doubt we’d have seen a lawsuit. The TV show would have been called something else,” he said. “As it is, the band faces an uphill struggle.[15]”
The matter remains unresolved.
Any of you know Anthony Kiedis has tried suing over the name of the show? Might still be going on, if it hasn’t been thrown out already.
I sincerely hope he didn’t win anything from that, seeing RHCP took it from Mr. Bungle.
Don’t think they took ajything from bungle. Only had a bitch fit that bungle was releasing an album of a very similiar name. End of story, Kiedis gets butt-hurt over the dumbest, small shit imaginable. The stuff between him and bungle is evidence of that.
Oh right, I thought the actual title was going to be used by Mr. Bungle but RHCP got it instead. Nevermind. The RHCP album doesn’t come close to the greatness of ‘California’. That’s all that matters.
Never watched much of the program. The prospect of having to watch Duchovny have sex week in week out is not very appealing. Does it offer more than that?

Clearly and easily, Yes. Although I do have to admit Dude does get an absurd amount of snatch! He needs do nothing but merely be in the vicinity of pussy and then pussy throws itself at him! But in Duchovny’s defense he does have a charm/charisma about him that in no way is Fox Moulder

Meh… never could get into Bungles California… bored me to tears. I liked their first one and Disco Volante though.

Hank Moody has savoir-faire and sex appeal.
The FM and HM characters do have some of the same characteristics as DD himself when it comes to porn and snatch.
Smrfy, Do you remember how FM was supposed to die when his and DS’s methods of death were told to them by the traveling insurance salesman in one of the X-Files episodes? [:P]
