I’ve seen and love TAPE HEADS. Don’t remember Rosco’s mentioned though. I should give it another look.

Yeah, as far as I know its only in Southern Cali. Roscoe’s is pretty damn good. I work on the waffles before everything else. Getting a side of smothered potatoes w/ gravy is a must. Yummy.

“and not just an imaginary conceit of Quentin Tarrantino”

when I think of Roscoes, I dont think Tarantino. I think of the underseen Tim Robbins/John Cusack classic “TAPEHEADS” and this little ditty from the film:

Roscoeâ€™s Chicken and Waffles is definitely a real franchise and not just an imaginary conceit of Quentin Tarrantino. I think they’re all on the West Coast though.

Now where’s youre review of Meet The Spartans?

I guess you keep getting older, and your employees stay the same age huh Greg? Whatever is you preference, I definitely enjoy the aesthetics of you constantly bringing up girlfriends and how they reacted to the stuff you report.

Thanks for the comments guys. Much appreciated.

Rusty James: I’ve never seen a picture of Keira’s home so I have no idea what any of her bushes look like. Although…most bushes look like small trees so I’ll go with Douglas Fir. As far as national franchises go…I stopped at Tim Hortons for a coffee. I’ve never been to Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles nor have I heard of it, but I do hope that such a place of wonderment actually exists.

Henrik: I’m nowhere near classy enough to be gay. Only girls for me. I guess I only mention the girls because all of the guys I went to high school with are married and have kids and have become quite boring. Girls are much more fun to hang around with.

I love it; the review reads just like I picture you talking about it. Makes for a few laughs and nearly devastating coffee spilage. Thanks.

In all seriousness, happy to hear you liked it and I agree, though I loved the film, Knightley is not the reason for it.

As for Anna Paquin, she’s still acting though the ONE movie I want to see that she’s in was supposed to come out last year and is now scheduled for an Oct. 2008 release – Trick ‘r Treat. Looks fan-freakin’-tastic.

This movie deserves Juno’s backlash.

I’m in the minority with you.

I know I’m definitely in the minority on this one, but I thought this movie was really, really terrible despite the fact that the acting was pretty good and the direction was moderately decent. I don’t think I’ve ever cared less about the fate of any movie’s characters, which is problematic since the film revolves around Briony’s horrendous mistake and its terrible consequences but since I didn’t care one iota about Robbie and Cecelia, I wasn’t terribly broken up about Briony’s actions. Maybe I’m just heartless.

i actually did a double take when reading who the reviewer was. Greg?? an amusing review nonetheless, and worthy of my first post. keep em coming Greg.

I have to ask though Greg, are you gay or straight? Because all your friends seem to be female (Except for the FilmJunk alumni of course… I guess). And also you love wrestling! I’m curious.
