I'd been meaning to recommend this to the board, in general. But now that this bit of information has been revealing, the whole thing is infinitely more interesting:

I am waiting for my confirmation on the tickets. Hopefully it goes through (Largo's over the phone-"leave a message and we will let you know system"...fuck)
Anyone else planning on going?

huh?
everyone has to take responsibility for bootleg it at the same time. then no one can throw out someone for bootlegging.
...v for vendetta style?
Maybe Paul wants to tryout his humor with an audience because he is writing a comedy for possibly his next project.
oh yeah i say this because on the new cigs&redvines post the person says its really funny.
i've seen it. (don't ask me how. i won't tell you)...and yes, it's really REALLY funny.
Paul is still the man.
Quote from: jtm on July 22, 2008, 04:15:41 AM
it's really REALLY funny.
Couch funny or There Will Be Blood funny?
.. or Demo Jail funny?
or Dirk Diggler Story funny?
or Power Play funny?

Anyone get notified about their tickets yet from the Largo folks?

I'm looking at your new sign and I'm wondering if you are part of anonymous, or can't you say?
I should probably fly down there huh? Catch David Garza while I'm at it too...
Tried ordering a while back but still no confirmation... The tension is unbearable.

haha, no I'm not part of anonymous
finally got my confirmation. I'm going to the August 5th show. Anyone else?
So is someone going to tape it? I know you guys were joking before, but let's be serious for a second.
Isn't Largo very liberal with their taping policy?

So is someone going to tape it?
I really, really hope so. Not me, however... just found out I can't make it to either night's performance.

Not at all.
That aside, omeone here should step up and give it a shot.
Paul Thomas Anderson's Top-Secret Play Revealed (http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2008/08/paul_thomas_andersons_topsecre.html)
Last night in Los Angeles, three weeks after the Largo theater promised its mailing list a top-secret show that "you won't regret" seeing, Maya Rudolph and Fred Armisen performed a series of light and effortless vignettes co-written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson for a packed house that included Jack Black, Paul Dano, and Josh Radnor. With live musical score provided by Jon Brion, the 70-plus minute show about love somehow found a way to be fantastically funny without any milkshake-drinking at all.
The stage was set with a few instruments on the left for Brion and two stools front and center for Rudolph and Armisen. After the audience stood up for a Spanish version of "God Bless America," the actors sat down and got right into it. First up we met a couple whose love for alcohol is at the center of their connection, then a couple getting to know each other over a complicated personality test (Armisen: "Do you often have emotional outbursts without thinking them through?" Rudolph: "What kind of fucking question is that?"), then a third couple on their first date as they discuss stuffed animals (Rudolph: "When I was little, I used to put Snoopy between my legs and just hump him so hard. I humped him and humped him until his nose broke off.").
With Anderson whisking the couples from scene to scene quickly enough that we don't dwell on individual bits, and with no story to connect the sketches, we're left with glimpses into the lives of fifteen or so couples, each with their own quirks but all with a strong sense of underlying tenderness. The vignettes, in fact, feel like sneaking a peek at P.T. Anderson's Punch-Drunk Love notepad, exploring that movie's notion that there's someone for everyone, even though everyone is a little bit weird and fucked up. Whatever the future for this show, last night it made us grin like an idiot and tell our friends, "Love is awesome, right?" And hey, only one character died. —Nick Confalone
I was there last night. Really great performances all around. I actually found myself watching Jon Brion do his thing a lot of the time. Last night reassured me how criminially misused on SNL Maya and Fred are (and were). Some of the vignettes worked really well...while others kinda gave a few chuckles. The great thing is that each vignette moved along quick, no one took more than 5 minutes, at then end my GF and I were disappointed it felt so short.
Note: I was sitting in the front row next to the guy who was laughing like a serial killer (I apologize if this is any of you). But he almost fucking ruined it for me. Big hysterical man-child knife wielding laughs that at one point fucked up Maya and Fred because it was so rediculous.
PPS- No John C. Reilly as reported on C&RV. What the Eff.
I was there. I sat in the front row. It was HILARIOUS. Seriously, I haven't laughed so hard in, well, in ever. I was laughing so hard that I could tell people were getting upset at me. That's how funny it was. Some guy sitting next to me would even give one of those little 'nerd sneers' anytime I laughed. You know the kind where he'll try and let it be known that he's annoyed, but not in a confrontational way because he doesn't want to get his ass kicked?
SO FUNNY.

Yeah. Great. That was you. I felt bad for the people who were with you. Clearly embarrassed (at one point I believe they covered your mouth up). And the guy before the show you were trying to make "connections with" when you left for a bit he was mocking you and the whole "animation" thing... So. Good luck trying to explore that avenue. And yes. I was directing my "nerd sneers" at you, as well as the other half of the front row and I'm sure countless others in the rows behind. Although it wasnt so much a "sneer" as it was more a look of disbelief that you have gone X amount of years on this earth and no one has physically attacked you at a movie or play with that laugh. You laugh like you learned what "laughing" was from a book two weeks ago and you are over compensating in order to fit in.
Seriously, Maya and Fred were glaring down in the general direction and my inner Larry David was getting paranoid they thought it was me. I'm sure you're a swell guy.
Just learn to chill out.Overall. A really great performance by Maya and Fred. Did anyone go to the second night? Did JCR show up or was the Largo source full of shit?
hahaha i hope stefen was telling the truth, because this is HILARIOUS.

How come you didn't say any of this to my face when you had the chance? Why spout it off now from the safety of behind your computer screen?

This is fucking awesome.
My ex-girlfriend got harassed by Galifianakis at Largo because she sneered when he made one of his Challenger jokes...she is from Florida and was drunk. Thankfully I wasn't there.
Yeah. You nailed it. I'm afraid of an autistic background extra from Rain Man. You got it.*
Seriously, what did you think was supposed to happen?
"Excuse me, Sir. Your laughing offend me more than the hollocaust and AIDS combined. Lets step out front and settle it like men!"
You are so socially fucked it's not even funny. Go back to rocking back and forth and counting how many toothpicks fell on the floor. "Hot water burn baby! Hot water burn baby!"
P.S.-I kid in the utmost respect of those who have autism. My cousin has it and I feel guilty for ragging on another one of it's victims.
P.P.S.- The show was great, and I hate to steer the conversation in these petty, foolish directions...
Satcho, he was kidding.
P.S. It was me.
*nerd sneer*
dude, you didn't have to say aids and holocaust, you just had to say "shhh" or "excuse me", it's what people do.
i tried saying "shhh" to some loud table up by the front during a comedy act in the village and the drunk comedian thought i was heckling so he gave me shit for the rest of his set.
ok, seriously. either satcho9 and stefen were working together on this thread, or this shit is the goddamn funniest shit i've ever goddamn motherfucking goddamn read.
props to you both. unless satcho really doesn't know what's going on. in that case, props to you stefen!

You're a fucking idiot. First of all, my girl NEVER covered my mouth, she was touching my face, it's something she always does. You wouldn't understand, and second of all, if I remember you correctly you're the guy in the blue shirt with the coke bottle glasses who was with the girl in the checkered dress. The girl my friend asked if he could have her number. If that's what all this is from, then sorry, but that had nothing to do with me. Take it up with my friend like you should have when it ACTUALLY FUCKING HAPPENED.
Second of all, you didn't even get the bit when Fred was smashing the lightbulbs. Everyone else did and you're looking around like, "I don't get it" that's what made me laugh like a jackass. Some hipster who thinks he's too cool for school doesn't even the jokes. Fucking poser.
I don't even know what else to say because you're so utterly clueless about anything that happened that night.
I'll be in town until next Thursday. If you wanna man up and stop acting like a female in a mens prison, maybe we can settle this like men instead of like a couple of sarcastic jerkoffs, I assume you'll prefer the latter since you're the type who when someone asks your girlfriend for her number, you don't get mad at the dude asking for her number, but you get mad at your girl for allowing him to even ask.
*Edge of seat* :shock:
Finally, A Xixax streetfight...who said this place was dead???

Oh yeah. I didn't get the whole "smashing lightbulb" bit. Really hard to understand. And my girlfriend got your friend's number because she wanted to know more about the biggest dip shit in the fucking universe. But Honestly. She is doing a study on real life Rain Men who should have hung them selves 20 years ago. (Please, try and insinuate more shit about her. It's really funny)
Not only did your girl cover your fucking mouth. But I very clearly saw her cross her legs in shame as to say "I'm putting this pussy away for a loooong time as long as this guffawing fuck is around." You can't even get a pity fuck from your cross eyed twat.
Matter of fact. I am sick of talking about this fucking bullshit. You are going to be in town? Well, you obviously know where the fucking Largo is...so what do you say we meet up there again and relive this incident?
I won't have "my computer to hide behind" this time. You set the time dipshit. I'll even come to your fucking mental ward. You name it. I will be there. And I will cut your fucking throat.
Are we all being punked?
Let's everyone leave each other's throats alone. No AIDS, no holocaust, no covered pussies...let's just move on here. Largo really does bring out the animal in some.
fake or not, this fight is officially LAME.
i'm nerd sneering the shit outta both of you right now.
The third act was pretty sloppy, but it also had the greatest line:
QuoteFirst of all, my girl NEVER covered my mouth, she was touching my face, it's something she always does. You wouldn't understand
Oh, goddamn... if this culminates in a street fight in front of Largo, I think it might not only be my favorite Xixax moment ever, but may very well be my favorite Largo moment ever.
Someone call the club and see if we can cross promote... it might be short notice, but maybe they can add it to the online calendar.
I mean, y'all aren't really gonna fight... but it would be swell if you did.
My money is on Stefen... dude talks a good game. But don't let your girlfriend touch your face:

How old, Pozer? I was guessing younger. Not a dig either. Just an impression. There are millions of people younger than me who are also much smarter than me.
And yea, fight, who gives a shit? We can represent ourselves as the toughest movie board on the net. Normally I'd imagine any fight between film geeks to be a slap and screaming match, but I can see some decent bare knuckle shit going down here. Stefen has been pushing MMA on me for over a year so I believe he has some experience. Besides, the promise he'll pull off that laugh again is too much to pass up on.
Since no one filmed the stage show, someone at least film this. Xixax fight club!
Considering I rarely make jokes, be alerted this is one.
Go to hell!
