What the is this?
Comic books, rock 'n' roll and movies. I like to think that I've matured past 14-years-old but I suppose you will have to be the judge of that.

"Is there a dive bar in that suit?"

Re: Patton Oswalt on Adam Carolla's show

It started with Oswalt telling Adam "if you want to get your girl into comcis you've got to give her Ghost World." Then they went to Hollywood Blvd. and Chewbacca was yelling that Superman was on crack.

It was good and nerdy and certainly funnier than past episodes of Carolla's show but I think I like Oswalt's take on it better (from aspecialthing.com):

Doing the show was painless and fun.

I watched it last night and it was painful and not fun.

I like Adam. I think he's funny. But that's not the right setting for him. Having him host a show one-on-one with no audience is like having me host a sports roundtable on ESPN in front of Bush voters. Or having me act in BLADE III.
(emphasis mine)

When I was at Adam's show, I kept asking people whose idea it was to lose the audience. I never got a straight answer.

Tivo should add a feature where you can call up a P.I.P. box with the angry black Chewbacca guy in it whenever you want.


Then he linked to this easter egg from the Revenge on the Sith DVD. It's bizarre enough without knowing that George Lucas was cackling away at it at some point.
