The Dolly Parton Lyrics to Act Like a Fool
You make me act like a fool
You treat me mean and cold and cruel
You make me do things that I hate to do
Why do you make me act like a fool?
We are of course referring to the internet here. Today rumors of Dolly Parton’s death are running rampant. Who comes up with this shit? Apparently at a high school football game on friday it was announced “erroneously” that Dolly had died. Damn kids. Anyway, by today the rumor was widespread that she had died of congestive heart failure.
Her publicist had to scramble to declare her alive and kicking. Still, I bet for years after this people will truly believe that Dolly Parton died “a few years ago.”
The other night I was watching Hannah Montana, er, I mean, my daughter was watching Hannah Montana and she was on along with Vicki Lawrence. This morning, I logged onto my computer and saw that she was dead and I though, well that was spooky. Alas, the internet had once again made me its bitch. Luckily we have Dolly Parton Lyrics to help us through the Heartache.

First Bernie Mac and now Isaac Hayes. It’s been a sad week for the entertainment industry. Isaac Hayes was the man. In Shaft Isaac Hayes wrote the soundtrack. Watch Yo Mouth. I’m talkin bout shaft here. I can dig it. Shaft was an awesome movie. Richard Roundtree nailed the role and Isaac Hayes’s song lent the perfect atmosphere to the movie.
More recently than Shaft Isaac Hayes was known for being chef on South Park. Chef was probably the most memorable character in the whole show besides Cartman. It’s too bad about the way he left though but while on the show he gave and he gave to the pop culture lexicon. Love Gravy!
Isaac Hayes’ funeral will take place in the city where Hayes first became a well known name, Memphis, Tennessee. On Monday morning and afternoon, Hayes will be laid to rest. Memorial services will officially be held in Cordova, Tennessee, from 11 AM to 2 PM. It will take place at Hope Presbyterian Church at 8500 Walnut Grove.
As Isaac Hayes’ funeral is being set up, the Hayes family has set up areas where fans and well wishers can pay their respects. The Hayes family has asked that donations be sent to the Stax Music Academy in Memphis, in lue of flowers. Hayes had been a tireless supporter of the Stax Music Academy and Stax Records in life.
With the funeral in place and donations set up, one last mystery in the Isaac Hayes death saga is the cause of death. Hayes was found unconscious at his home lying next to his treadmill, and died an hour after being taken to the hospital. Now, although an autopsy is not yet complete, doctors are ready to say that Hayes died of a stroke.
The news has not been made official yet by a medical examiner or by the Memphis health department. However, Hayes’ family physician, Dr. David Kraus, was reported to have filed paperwork that lists Hayes’ death as being caused by a stroke. All that Hayes’ relatives had to say on the subject was that Hayes was under a doctor’s care before his death.
Shelly Malil, see playing Haziz in The 40 Year Old Virgin, was arrested yesterday in San Diego allegedly for stabbing his ex girlfriend over 20 times.
Malil appeared in The 40 Year Old Virgin as well as numerous television roles over the past 13 years. He appeared in an episode of my favorite show Scrubs for about 10 seconds as a bartender who thinks Turk is Indian.
Malil showed up at to his ex girlfriend’s home in San Marcos where an altercation between the couple took place. The unidentified woman was stabbed an estimated 20 times. Sadly her children were at home at the time of the attack.
Neighbors heard the woman screaming and called police and an ambulance. The woman was reportedly taken to an area hospital where she was listed in critical condition with multiple stab wounds and cuts to her face.
Malil’s family members worked with police investigators to capture the fleeing actor, who boarded a train and reportedly headed to meet with his lawyer. He was apprehended and removed from the train at Oceanside depot on Monday evening after agreeing to surrender. He is being held in the San Mateo Sheriff’s Department jail.
According to TMZ.com the woman’s name is Kendra Bebee.
George Lucas just can’t quit. Not that I am complaining of course. Not about this anyway. It’s just, well he knows dammn well that I can’t help but watch and yet he has interest in even fufilling my expectations. And so here comes Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Meh.
I was never a full on Star Wars fanboy. My brother was though the doctors assure us he is fully recovered. However, I have always liked the original trilogy. I had been looking forward to the new trilogy ever since I had first heard the rumors ten years before the Phantom Menace came out. And then of course came Jar Jar. Attack of the Clones wasn’t bad and Revenge of the Sith came close to redeeming him but they could have just done Revenge of the Sith and everything would have been groovy.
Is there anything in this post that hasn’t already been said in the last ten years though? Probably not. And now here comes The Clone Wars to the big screen. i think its funny that only Christoper Lee and Sam “Motherfucking Snakes” Jackson were asked to voice their characters while Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman either have better things to do or George Lucas is done with them. Natalie Portman may actually be famous enough that she is too expensive though and also her one asset, her hotness, would not do much good in voice over.
I’ll probably rent this when it comes out on DVD at Christmas. I like to take advantage of a good sale.
Does the world need another Ben Stiller movie? Whether we need one or not we have been given Tropic Thunder. It’s a war movie co-starring Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. in blackface. This sounds like the premise of a skit on SNL, not a good one either.
Let’s take each of these points in turn, first, Ben Stiller. This buy never met a pile of crap he didn’t feel like turning into a movie. I very rarely enjoy any movie he is associated with though I think Dodgeball is a guilty pleasure but please don’t ever tell anyone. Tropic Thunder just looks stupid though.
Jack Black, isn’t his 15 minutes up yet? I hated Tenacious D back in 2001 and I still don’t like it. I don’t really like his movies. Actually, I liked him in the Jackal but only because he had the courtesy to die painfully. Putting him in a Ben Stiller movie is an obvious move though.
Robert Downey Jr in blackface? What? Is the minstrel show making a comeback? The concept is ridiculous. But apparently you have to be fearless to make movies in hollywood today. Oh wait, did I say fearless? I meant an overrated hack. The sad part is that I actually like Robert Downey in some of his stuff but He will not get me to watch Tropic Thunder.
i think the concept of this movie is just stupid. I’m not a big fan of comedies in the first place and this one is no exception. I only hope it will die a quick death at the box office but since it has such a powerhouse of stars it probably will be in the top five at the box office this coming weekend. Thats just the way it goes.
Have you seen the disaster movie trailer? I saw it. Oh boy, this shit again. I guess these stupid movies keep making money. That has got to be the only reason they keep getting greenlit. It’s certainly not because they elevate the craft or anything like that. Who am I kidding, no movie would ever be greenlit because it elevated the craft. Even the artsiest, fartsiest movie these days would only be greenlit if it was expected to make a lot of money.
Disaster Movie is goinng to suck. Just like meet the spartans before it, just like date movie, and whatever the hell else movie that has been put out by the disaster Movie crew. I don’t object to the movie per se though. Mostly what I object to is that people keep going to see these shitty movies, they keep making money, and they keep making more. Why, why, why do they do that?
Disaster movie could not possibly inspire the kind of hate that its audence could inspire. I hate with every fiber of my being the teenage, mouth breathers who go to see these movies. And then I hate the producers for making me seem like a cranky old man. I’m not old enough to be yelling at kids to get off my lawn but maybe I would be doing the world a favor if I told them to get away from the stupid movie.
Disaster Movie, why not just cut to the chase and call it Stupid Movie. Stupid Movie, its sequel Stupid Movie 2: Electric Boogaloo, Stupid Movie 3: The Return of Stupid Movie, the possiblities are endless. People would still go to see it. People still was Saturday Night Live and that hasn’t been funny since about 1979 or so.
There is nothing I can do about Disaster Movie other than give it a little bit of a boost in Google Trends in order to trick people into reading about how much I hate it. Or, I can brring in fellow travelers who wish for the madness to end. I’m not a film snob but surely we can do better than this.
Blake Lively is returning from Gossip Girl and slipping back into her role as Bridget Vreeland in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 this week in theaters. I for one am unimpressed at this attempt to cash in one more time. First of all, sequels that exist soley to make a producer a couple million more dollars are a waste of time. Second, I saw the first movie and i thought it sucked.
Ok, so being a male in my late twenties I was not exactly what they had in mind when thinking “Target demographic” However, sucky is sucky no matter what. Blake Lively left so little an impression on me that I forgot she was even in it. In fact, the only one that I even remembered was America Ferrera and that is just because she’s ore my type anyway.
Blake Lively does a passible job on gossip girl but the fact remains that she is a generic, interchangeable bobble headed actress. There are a couple dozen women just like her making movies and tv today and I doubt I could pick her out of a line up if asked to do so. I can’t fault her too much though. She is just who she is, a specific type that is popular in our culture right now. She fits the type and so the powers that be in hollywood manufactured a star out of her. She’s probably makingg some pretty decent bank right now so more power to her. If only I had been born a “type.” or rather, if only I had been born the right type.
So lets review, Blake Lively, generic bobblehead. Sisterhood of the traveling pants 2, cynical ploy to make more money. Do I care about either. I care enough to write this entry, bitching about it while my baby takes a nap. Beyond that though, I don’t think I’ll let it bother me for the rest of the week.
Or whatever the hell you want to the latest Brendan Fraser movies to hit the big screen. Brendan Fraser seemed like he showed a lot of promise when he was younger with movies like School Ties and The Scout but he also did Encino Man. I’ll go to bat for him on this one, we all do things for the money when we’re younger that we’re not proud of and we wouldn’t ever tell our kids about. However, it seems now that it was just a preview of what his career had in store.
He still does take on a nuanced role that requires actual acting like The Quest American but he also does Mummy 3: How much more money can we squeeze out of this and GI Joe : It’s cool when things go Boom! I will say this though, I love him in those three episodes of Scrubs he did or maybe I just love those eps of Scrubs, either way they are far better than anything Brendan Fraser Movies.
The Mummy franchise has sunk so low, after three sequels and a spin off, that almost everyboedy who ever appeared in one of the movies has declined to return. Only Brendan Fraser and John Hannah have now appeared all three and while John Hannah has found steady work as a character actor I don’t fault him for taking whatever paycheck comes along. Fraser is a leading man though. He doesn’t need the money that bad. Aren’t those Airhead residuals keeping him comfy? I’ll go out on a limb here and say that the majority of Brendan Fraser movies suck.
Even Rachel Weisz did not come back. She was replaced by Maria Bello (who probably needs the work more anyway). Weisz does some prestige flicks such as Enemy at the Gates and The Foutain also does Brendan Fraser Movies (I’m coining a new phrase) such as Constantine and Fred Clause (Seriously?!). I guess if I go through life expecting anything from Hollywood I am just headed for disapointment.
Here’s an X File for you: do I even care about the new x-files movie opening today? I can’t seem to work up any more enthusiasm than “meh.” I was way more excited about batman last week but I haven’t been to see that yet either. I used to be all about some X File. I watched the show from day one until day…well, whatever day it was that they replaced Mulder with Doggett.
I didn’t see the first X File movie until about a year after it came out. I was working the midnight shift at a grocery store (the things we do for money in college) when it came out in theaters and wasn’t getting out to the movies as often as I wanted to at the time. I wasn’t doing much of anything other than working and sleeping. I didn’t like the first movie. I thought it was boring. But in the fall, I went right back to watching the show. The show was still awesome.
Part of me wants to return to the the old X Files characters I know and love. Mulder, Scully, it’s like revisiting my adolescence although I hate going to the movies and will probably just tivo it when its on HBO (or buy the Wal Mart Edition for $14). I can pretend it’s still a time when X files was awesome and I was still young (but only the good parts of being young). But here is another X file for you: Amanda Peet? WTF? Maybe it’s just me.
I won’t be going out to see the new X file movie. I’m sure that my ticket purchase will not be missed. There are a zillion fanboys anxiously waiting for a few good Scully cleavage shots that they can go home and beat off to. X Files is an institution and it will not want for box office revenue.
