Oscar beat mosh-pit
To me, the end-of-the-year Oscar beat mosh-pit action is tough and bruising but bracing and a lot of…well, fun. In a perverse sort of way. But to David Poland, it’s becoming more and more of a wallow — craven, degrading, downmarket and heavily caked with brown glop. His latest rant, which I love, sounds like a ringside boxing reporter complaining about the hitting. It’s really good, though. I actually laughed out loud and that’s rare But I need help on one thing. Of all the “controversies [that] will be at a premium,” I’m clueless about ‘Rinko’s vagina.” (He’s referring to Babel costar Rinko Kikuchi.) Anyone?
Hey, I like vagina as much as the next guy.
Amusing. If only he could spell Blanchett.
If only he could spell, period. I know it’s a small thing, but one of the big reasons I favor Wells over Poland in my day-to-day reading (even as Jeffrey annoys us in his hammering of topics like Coppola and Apatow and such) is the fact that his occasional typos read like genuine typos, rather than the constant barrage of I-never-finished-10th-grade misspellings that litter Poland’s site. It’s nitpicky, I know, but after a while it starts to grate. Wells is just a better, and more careful, writer.
How’s that for a Friday-morning wet kiss?
I love it! “The Blackademy Awards!” Do you think David coined the phrase or is he just passing along a witticism that is already old in the bars of West LA?
Which (and when) exactly is the first critics awards of the season? I can’t wait.
Dave likes being the center of the attention and he feels that Oscar predictions is his turf. Tread lightly.
Both Poland and Wells need to let go of their egos and hire an editor to go over their stuff before publishing it. At least Wells has the courtesy to not go on monotonous thousand-word rants.
The National Board of Review traditionally weighs in first, usually in early December.
It was Kinko’s almost, but not quite, Sharon Stone moment.
That was obviously supposed to be Rinko, not Kinko.
Can I just weigh in here as a woman? We hate the word ‘vagina,’ especially when men use it, unless of course it’s Jeffrey Lebowski repeating everything Maude Lebowski is saying.
I think David needs to get seriously laid – all this talk about chafing, vaginas, tits…not necessarily in that order.
What word would you prefer, Bipedalist?
Well JeffMCM it depends on the context…but in any context except a learning hospital gyno ward or a doctor’s office, Vagina is out. Trust me on that one, fellas. It may seem politically correct but…you say dick; you don’t say penis. Right? But yeah, I suppose we don’t really have a good word like dick. Not that you can really say in mixed company. You know, that kind of sucks actually; how did our organ become a dirtier word than yours? I myself prefer the ‘C’ word, the ‘P’ word and funny variations for blogs and such, like hooha or snatch works well. Just think, what would they say on “Will and Grace”? Wouldn’t it have been funnier if Poland had used snatch? Crotch isn’t bad either, come to think of it. Where is George Carlin when you need him?

bi, cooch is a great alt, but vagina will always be funny to me — vu-gy-na; which is why I like wienis.
As a guy, I think it’s generally believed that the P word and the C word are unacceptable in mixed company, and I don’t think ‘crotch’ is specific enough since it’s something that both genders have.

Va – chai-tea – na, what I’m having right now; yup, definitely best fave fab word. Jeffmcm is a big cunk.
My favorite term for the female sweet spot:
and I have to give credit to one of the girls in my stable who I first heard it from as she stuffed a bag of weed down her pants before getting on a plane at LAX…
We were in the car, and as she carefully zipped her pants up after hiding her stash, she pats her crotch and says:
Ahh perfect, right there on the “COOKIE”.
Every girl I’ve been with since, giggles and loves it when I use that nickname to initiate some playtime.
Feel free to appropriate.
