On a very special episode of Touched by a Gygax:

Alex is very much ALIVE and still reading ILX! He's been blocked from AIM and e-mail at work though (along with everyone else at his stupid controlling job). Unfortunately Anton's house is gone and thus provokes little fear (or wonder) from the children in his former neighborhood. He may be at the Rapture show tonite btw (depends on when he gets off work and whether or not it's sold out.) He's very touched to be thought of so well. Maybe he will see the SF ILX gang there (or if not at the future Matos in SF FAP).

I realize that episode has very little in way of a plot. Sorry folks.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 13 November 2003 21:18 (twenty-one years ago)

okay, check the clobber.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 13 November 2003 21:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I miss Alex in SF!! Alex!! COME BACK

― Mandee, Thursday, 13 November 2003 22:34 (twenty-one years ago)

If someone needs to reach me now (at work) (and I haven't gotten any e-mail this afternoon) mail can to be sent to clobberthesaurusNOSPAM@graffiti.net (with NOSPAM removed obviously). For those whose e-mail (yahoo, hotmail) are jammed at work, Graffiti.net is a very nice resource (unfortunately, it has an awful interface.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 13 November 2003 23:54 (twenty-one years ago)

how about now?

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 13 November 2003 23:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Got it, but I won't be able to make it. It'll be at least 10pm before I can flee work. Thanks for the invite though. And maybe I'll see y'all at the show.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 14 November 2003 00:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I miss you too MANDEE! I am here, I swear. I just can't AIM anymore. :(

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 14 November 2003 00:05 (twenty-one years ago)

holla at ya alex

― ron (ron), Friday, 14 November 2003 01:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Yo Alex miss you too, man

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 14 November 2003 01:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Ron and Andrew, I miss you too. *sniffle* Work is so lonely now.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 14 November 2003 02:46 (twenty-one years ago)

hi alex!

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 14 November 2003 03:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Hi Rosemary! How are you doing? (I miss you too).

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 14 November 2003 04:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Hi Alex!!

― Sean (Sean), Friday, 14 November 2003 09:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Yay Alex, indeed. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 14 November 2003 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

He only gave Repo Man THREE STARS on Netflix!

Absolutely NOT!

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:03 (twenty years ago)

Hahaha you GAVE HEAT FIVE STARS ADAM! WTF is wrong with you!?!?!?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:06 (twenty years ago)

GREAT movie

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:06 (twenty years ago)

I have been ratin movies ALL afternoon! Keep checking!

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:07 (twenty years ago)

Heat has a worse ending than Old Boy! Don't you care what happens in the last half hour of films, Adam?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:08 (twenty years ago)

alex thinks Kobe Bryant's accuser is lying and Michael Jackson is innocent!

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:09 (twenty years ago)

Love the ending to Heat! Love (almost) all films with airports in them!

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:09 (twenty years ago)

I like HEAT!

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:09 (twenty years ago)

Heat is a great movie, though

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:09 (twenty years ago)

Hahaha now wait a second I didn't say that exactly.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:09 (twenty years ago)

Heat is an okay movie right up until the point where Robert DeNiro does something totally ridiculously stupid and out of character and then it just descends into nonsense. Al Pacino also pretty much sucks in it, as usual.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:11 (twenty years ago)

Al Pacino also pretty much sucks in it, as usual.

Okay, FUCK you!

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:12 (twenty years ago)

The guy only knows how to overact Adam. He chews up scenery like I chew bubblegum (loudly with lots of smacking noises.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:13 (twenty years ago)

"She's got a big ass, and you got your head ALL THE WAY UP IT!!!!!"

That's one of my favorite lines from Heat.

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:15 (twenty years ago)

It is 100% pure Pacino awesomeness.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:22 (twenty years ago)

The last time I watched Heat, I rewound that particular line probably 10x.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:22 (twenty years ago)

Ick.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:23 (twenty years ago)

I lov you gygax!

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:24 (twenty years ago)

If nobody ever overacted and said things like this, life would be no fun at all!

Pacino exists for this purpose.

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:25 (twenty years ago)

:-D

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:25 (twenty years ago)

If Al Pacino wasn't ruining potentially good movies with his craptastic acting I'd be more forgiving. If he only played drill sergeants or was in Look Who's Talking for example or maybe playing Roy Cohn (although FUCK isn't there a jew somewhere who could have played the fucking guy.) But he kills films. He's a long way from The Godfather.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:28 (twenty years ago)

He was good as Cohn which sort of redeemed him in my eyes. Otherwise I think Alex is right. Has anybody seen his Richard III thing?

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:30 (twenty years ago)

Me, of course! Great stuff.

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:33 (twenty years ago)

I want to see that. Pacino has such great talent and potential that it really irks me when he's a cheesy ham.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:34 (twenty years ago)

Yes, I think that's the main reason why his suckiness makes me so mad. If he'd always been this way (like Nicholson) it would bother me a lot less (I won't see Nicholson films for the most part, but he doesn't disgust me in quite the same way. . . also he tends not to get roles in otherwise good movies.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:37 (twenty years ago)

I sense passion here.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 00:58 (twenty years ago)

Passion of the CHRISTGAU

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 01:47 (twenty years ago)

i hate pacino, never liked anything he was in, w/o exception (hate de niro and hate nicholson too--though i like duvall, hoffman and some hackman)

― anthony easton (anthony), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 02:09 (twenty years ago)

late-pacino bombast is one of the great pleasures of the last twenty years of cinema!!

Heat is excellent, but I like The Insider more. And Pacino doesn't puree the scenery around him in that one!

and Repo Man is a FIVE STAR FILM

― Gear! (can Jung shill it, Mu?) (Gear!), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 04:35 (twenty years ago)

FIVE STAR

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 04:53 (twenty years ago)

Heat is an okay movie right up until the point where Robert DeNiro does something totally ridiculously stupid and out of character

It's called LOVE, baby! People do crazy shit in WUV.

― nathalie barefoot in the head (stevie nixed), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 08:11 (twenty years ago)

Falling In Love is a terrible movie right up until the point where Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel stop the film altogether for five minutes so they can do their trademark Mean Streets routine, and after that it goes back to being terrible again.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 08:17 (twenty years ago)

WHAT is nathalie takling abt???? i assumed alex was talking abotu when DE NIRO kills that RACIST FUCK.

― is it?, Tuesday, 15 March 2005 15:20 (twenty years ago)

hey jerk, spoiler much?!

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 15:31 (twenty years ago)

"It's called LOVE, baby! People do crazy shit in WUV."

HE DID NOT STOP ESCAPING, DITCH HIS GIRLFRIEND AND HEAD INTO A POSSIBLE TRAP TO KILL A GUY WHO COULDN'T HARM HIM AT THAT POINT ANYWAY FOR LOVE! HE DID IT CUZ HE WAS ACTING OUT OF CHARACTER!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:48 (twenty years ago)

Also I would just like mention that I watched Sexy Beast again last night and you guys are crazy. That movie is completely average (except for Ben Kingsley who is used pretty stupidly.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:54 (twenty years ago)

You know how all these people are disagreeing with you?

It's called "being wrong".

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:54 (twenty years ago)

How do you deal with being wrong so much, Adam? I was going to ask you yesterday, but I forgot.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 17:00 (twenty years ago)

I call Oprah for spiritual guidance.

― just adam (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 17:02 (twenty years ago)

WELL so you are talking about that scene?? i disagree. he said you gotta be able to leave it 4 tha sake of tha Game and he left it baby, he LEFT IT ALL.

lol

― imsorryillstop, Tuesday, 15 March 2005 17:22 (twenty years ago)

oops it is "GREAT ass" not "BIG ass".

i agree that sexy beast is just "okay".

birth was a big improvement

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 17 March 2005 16:19 (twenty years ago)

no

― MVP (nordicskilla), Thursday, 17 March 2005 16:19 (twenty years ago)

I like that line with "big ass" better.

popped in to say that he was nice, but see that i already covered that

― ronny longjohns (ronny longjohns), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:41 (twenty years ago)

He introduced me to Sparks, the drink (on his dime and then some.. very kind and generous)

― donut debonair (donut), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:48 (twenty years ago)

He introduced me to Sparks, the drink, on his dime, therefore a rogue.

I had no idea you had been around for so long, SF.

heat is the greatest movie ever made.

oh, you think so?

― VIC MACKEY (nordicskilla), Friday, 18 March 2005 18:45 (twenty years ago)

Except for giving Repo Man three stars. Apparently poor taste in Emilio Estevez vehicles is my downfall.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 18 March 2005 18:46 (twenty years ago)

I take it back.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 18 March 2005 18:49 (twenty years ago)

That you even think of Repo Man as "an Emilio Estevez vehicle" is very revealing indeed!

― VIC MACKEY (nordicskilla), Friday, 18 March 2005 18:52 (twenty years ago)

SF, harry. dean. stanton.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 18 March 2005 18:55 (twenty years ago)

You think it's a Harry Dean Stanton vehicle?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 18 March 2005 18:57 (twenty years ago)

It's about a Harry Dean Stanton vehicle.

― VIC MACKEY (nordicskilla), Friday, 18 March 2005 18:58 (twenty years ago)

All LA "punk" movies from the early 80s are just okay (or really bad.)

Alex, you daft kunt, Repo is GREAT! But then I knew you would not like it, cause you're a gym obsessed POSHO. wink wink
