it sounds like a city college & not a prestigious law school. no offense to city colleges, but i think i've heard this phrase on tv.
― sweet tater, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:27 (seventeen years ago) link
Also law is built on precedent, so answering questions that way is kind of bad practice.

YES! There is that as well!!

Oh yeah. I just happened to click on a pic with both of them.

Surely you've heard Sarah call her that like whenever she's mentioned her online or in real life?
it is entirely possible that i was not paying the proper amount of attention. :(

I actually hate him. My sympathies are entirely with his stodgy friend in that movie.

Max Roach was black? I guess from his name I always assumed he was this old Jewish dude. Or maybe I just associated him with Gene Krupa.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:43 (seventeen years ago) link
xpost: Heh.
my sympathies are entirely with bitchy Jennifer Grey in that movie.
I miss your nose, bitchy Jennifer Grey!

Uh, definitely black.

I guess it is a pretty old Jewish dude name, though.

Jordan, are you sure Max Roach isn't the guy in the bowtie behind the counter? ;-)

FREEDOM NOW... FROM ME!
― kenan, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:51 (seventeen years ago) link
the guy behind the counter is a young stanley tucci. FACT.
Ha. Actually he's not in that photo, I don't think.
I posted a great youtube video over on his ILM thread that's got clips of his percussion band M'Boom and some crazy shit where he's playing with Fab Five Freddy and some breakdancers in the early 80s.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:52 (seventeen years ago) link
We can all agree that Shakey Mo Collier is the most miserable bastard on ILX, right?
I thought Max Roach was white too, for some reason.

Excellent, informative, really really interesting interview with Mr. Roach.

I find myself agreeing with Shakey quite often.

You guys must be thinking of Shelly Manne (and his Manne-Hole) or something.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 21:57 (seventeen years ago) link
yeah, he's not dumb or boring. That's all I ask of anyone, really... not dumb or boring. "Asshole" is totally negotiable.

I mean fine, you can hate him for being annoying/dicky/self-obsessed but sinister? Come on.

I miss Jennifer Grey's nose too.
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 22:02 (seventeen years ago) link
I think the meaning is that you can see how that kind of person becomes a future head of state and starts a war for fun and profit. It's just that kind of personality... rich, entitled, and never having to do anything but coast on charm.

I've been thinking recently about how Shakey Mo Collier is the Most Typical ILXor.

"Will this crime get me banished to the planet Zbayu?" "If someone overdoses on meal-pills, is the meal-pill-maker liable?" "If my robot is stopped for speeding, what are its rights?"
BTW re jazz on youtube, there are a zillion good links in the margins of Terry Teachout's blog (scroll all the way down till Ellington et all appear).

(if so, PROPS)
Funny, but that seems like revisionism of the worst kind! I just see him as a charming asshole who will eventually work in sales. Whatever. At the time, I thought he was cute. He put a lot of effort into things. That was appealing. Maybe they weren't good things, but he's not a sociopath. Jesus.

ha, you can see my friend Shawn in that video
― dan m, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 22:08 (seventeen years ago) link
I dunno, Horseshoe, he's a white liberal male in his 30s who lives in an urban area in the U.S., plays in a band, is very opinionated and argumentative about music and film and politics. I mean, I suppose that probably describes several people, so maybe he's just the loudest.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 22:09 (seventeen years ago) link
I found it after watching this video, which is awesome (and also features a really good left-handed drummer): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZvH3bT5jH0

oh, I get it, sociologically typical. I don't think his posts are typical, though.

FERRIS BUELLER WILL ENSLAVE US ALL. BOW TO YOUR NEW OVERLORD IN THE GOOFY VEST.
― kenan, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 22:11 (seventeen years ago) link
Ferris Bueller was a good North Shore antithesis to Timothy Hutton's character in Ordinary People. I'd like to see the scene where Bueller's parents send him to Judd Hirsch. Then again, Tom Cruise in Risky Business falls halfway between the two.

Huh, I'm not sure I can picture Matthew Broderick engaging in any war games.

Give me Red Dawn any day. At least Swayze, Howell, Sheen & Grey (connection!) were out there doing something, fighting the Commies, instead of bitching about getting into college or not having a car.
