The Land of Rape and Honey

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]

Not off hand… why? does he have some HM in that episode?

DS lives forever; FM exits the world via AEA.
At the end of a different episode, FM is seen standing on a chair in a dimly lit room of his apartment reaching for something on the ceiling - but he isn’t changing the light bulb.

I’m pretty sure I didn’t see that episode. Sadly, I haven’t seen much of the later seasons. Which I imagine this was, since I’m quite Privy to the early seasons

Re: Kathleen Turner, some might find this interesting…

[i]"Kathleen Turner hid her rheumatoid arthritis from Hollywood film-makers over fears it could cost her movie roles.

The Romancing the Stone star’s feet swelled up and she struggled to walk for a year until doctors finally diagnosed her with the illness.

Turner still refused to go public with her health secret because she was terrified it would keep studio bosses from casting her.

She says, "I got rheumatoid arthritis very badly 17 years ago. Back then, they didn’t have the medicines that they have now to treat it - but it didn’t help that they took so long to recognise it.

"It got so bad I couldn’t move my head and I was always feeling ill. I was eventually prescribed steroids which helped a little, but they made me look so puffy and bloated that rumours began to circulate that I was an alcoholic or a drug addict. I thought it might be safer to let people believe whatever they wanted. And I wasn’t the only one - Michael J. Fox kept his Parkinson’s disease secret for years.

“Hollywood hires addicts and drunks - they are familiar with those - but if you have an unfamiliar disease you definitely don’t want people to know about it, because it can kill your career.”

Now the actress credits the disease with helping her conquer her insecurities about her looks.

She adds, “Dealing with the pain over the years altered my outlook. When I was 20 I was a lot more insecure and looked for approval from everyone, but my illness made all that seem insignificant. Now, at the age of 55, I no longer feel I need approval from anyone.” » [/i]

wow!
didn’t know arthritis could do that to you.

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.

Hahaha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTCliDUJQ90. Never stops being funny. Who knew mean spirited pokes at former drug addicts dead and alive could feel so RIGHT.

Kiedis has always held his band back. Everything about his act strikes me as half-assed. The rapping, the Iggy Pop lite stage antics and his decade long obsession with turning his band into a vocal showcase. I like a few RHCP songs, but there’s no questioning Flea and Frusciante are extremely talented musicians who would do much better to move on to other projects.

I completely detest RHCP. All of their “I hurt and can admit that I cry because of it” just bugs the living shit out of me! as far as I’m concerned they’re a one hit wonder band with “under the bridge” but not because of keidis(or however the fuck you spell his name) the medley in that song is great and stands alone and that song probably should’ve been an instrumental!
That’s a band that has NO GROWTH… they’ve made the same shitty album since 1992! every fucking song sounds the same as the last!

That link is hilarious!

On a side note, anyone hear the Ministry RHCP remix? I’ve never heard that one, always assumed it sucked but was kind of curious too.

IIRC, it’s a pretty typical Al remix - that is to say, not very original and probably done in a hurry for a quick buck.

i think smashing pumpkins would have to agree with you there skarekroe.

Wonder if they’re going to play the episodes a week in advance on On Demand like they did last season.

what song did al remix? give it away? probably done during the days of the “lets just take out the drums and put in a 4/4 dance beat and call it a remix” times.

maybe the lawsuit had more to it… anthony is developing a series w/HBO based on his book and his childhood. kid moves to hollywood from detroit and lives with dad, drug dealer to the stars and a womanizer, comedy or trouble or something ensue.

I’m a RHCP fan, but john really is what made that band and what will break that band. Flea is good as a songwriter and was like the rock and roll version of a hype man back inthe day, but it’s john’s melodies and songwriting that make the songs work. I mean lyrically? sometimes he can be “deep” but then you read lyrics to like, around the world, and you just go “come on those aren’t even words… he’s just making fun of chinese people”

Anyone who has not heard John Frusciante’s solo work is sorely missing out. He is leaps and bounds more talented than any Chili Pepper. “Shadows Collide With People” and his work as Ataxia is great.

Reason that Anthony Kiedis is a dumb, worthless piece of shit that deserves to die part 198723:
Basically, claims Patton was copying his ‘look’ in the Faith No More ‘Epic’ video. If anybody had seen the general ‘look’ in California around that time, it was pretty obvious the ‘look’ was generic and wasn’t solely Kiedis’. So… Patton basically calls him a fuckwit.
Cue bad blood, and the California and Halloween gig sagas.

This prompts Kiedis to have Mr Bungle thrown off the 1999 Big Day Out festival, and a bunch of other European ones. That. Fucking. Piece. Of. Shit. So he denied two continents the opportunity to see what would be Mr Bungle’s last tour.

I seriously would be thrilled to hear he died in a bus crash or whatever. He’s a total narcissitic, talentless cunt of a man.

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?

Mick, you make me laugh. I’ve always thought this too…

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

California REDUCES me to tears! Seriously, some of the songs on that are beautiful! How can you not like it? Each to their own I guess… I couldn’t stand DV… not so much for the ‘weirdness’, it was those horrible kitsch 60s keyboard sounds, YEEEEACHHHH!

YES. I saw RHCP when they played Melbourne… almost an hour was spent doing improv sans Kiedis. This was the best fucking part of the entire show. They also did a free improv-noise gig at Fed Square without Kiedis. That band is fucking epic without him.

The drummer’s a bit of a fuckwit, though. He’s good, not the best in the business… Frusciante and Flea are indeed fucking geniuses. But I agree with people saying Frusciante makes or breaks the band… Flea has an unfortunate ability of lapsing into familiarity.

Massive lol at ‘ghost of hillel slovak’ in that video.

Season seems to be picking up now, and I guess this is where it’s going with him scrambling around with the three women. Kinda predictable though and hope i’m wrong as to where this heading. Think Karen will come back, and he’ll ditch the three chicks and the teaching (obviously).

They’re signed on for ANOTHER season now also.

Random prolly to revive this, but fuck it!
