Can I cheat at doing NewsRadio Quote Month? Maybe. It seems that most of my readers only have begun reading my blog in the last year or so when the blog impetus blew up with the seed and his crew. So let’s go back to the begin.
Woah! This is too inside baseball to do. Have fun!! Click on the every 9.0x link in the registry on the right for more NewsRadio goodness.
“I thought Matthew’s favorite holiday tradition was making nativity scenes with Marvel Comics action figures.”
The House Bunny is like Legally Blonde, but with sex appeal. It’s about the characters finding what they are made of and to use it to make a way in the world. And it’s about the bunny costume. But most of all, it’s a remake of Revenge of the Nerds from a woman’s perspective.
Anna Faris plays the eponymous bunny girl, Shelly. She’s kicked out of the Playboy mansion because of some nefarious playmate machinations. She looks for another home wherein the ladies are the best pals, and naturally (sarcasm!) she finds it in a sorority house. The girls of this sorority are the geekiest of the geekiest, worst than omega mus because they can’t even keep more than seven members. Shelly teaches them to be cool and popular. She also learns to be studious and smart from them. But it is all about being true to yourself, and neither the sorority sisters nor Shelly act that way until the script allows them too.
Admittedly, I went for the bunny girl costume. Anna Faris is supposedly Goldie Hawn of the aughts. Maybe, but she needs better scripts and a better leading man than Colin Hanks. The movie was fun, but not funny. Dumb, but not making you dumb while watching it. Stupid, but all in good fun. It’s popcorn for the brain. Too much isn’t good for you.
3 of 5 stars.
“Striking?” “Pretty with a big nose.”

Hey! Hey! It’s NewsRadio Quote Month. I’ve changed my approach to it. While not all posts this month will be titled with NewsRadio quote. The Links of the Day will. That means at least 30 more NewsRadio quotes to make you laugh! You’ll love it. Then you’ll go down to your local B&N or Borders (or if you’re the seed, to Amazon.com) and pick up all five seasons of this show. Trust me. You’ll love ’em.
Ready!
Here we go!

“Internet? Inter-not!”
“freakzilla@scopenet.com”
Today’s link tells you a story of the internet and the World Wide Web. It seems ancient to dwell on it, but it’s best to know how you got to the place you are going. With iPhone 2.0, it’ll be a hell of a future, so let’s not forget the past. Let’s celebrate it with the creators of our future.

Recent Keyword Activity for March 2008
It’s always good for a post to check referers. I’ll just pick the recent ones and comment. Simple and effective. Plus then I start my own google bomb to get these to the top. Very self-referential and weird!
NY escort kottke: Must be wondering what kottke thinks about Gov. Spitzer resigning or even looking for some special service.
apple unboxing: Looking for some great computer porn.
oksana akinshina naked: What’s a week without this search term?
when love is unrequited the whole world is crap: Searches for NewsRadio quotes drive traffic here.
doobie keebler: ditto
ellen page show me love: Is she making the English remake? I hope she isn’t? She’s too sassy for an Agnes.
cool lamp shades: I keep meaning to get me some.
8-bit video game music: Sounds cool!
negative about monte pego: Can’t think of any. Oh, here’s one: it’s too far away right now. Darn.
That’s it for today. There’s no naked Oksana Akinshina here! Look for Oksana Akinshina naked here!
School Rumble
Watching School Rumble reminds me of the NewsRadio quote, “Because I’m neither Japanese, 14 years old, or a girl.” Bill says this to Matthew thanking him for the Hello Kitty! school bag in his own acidic way. I am not Japanese, or 14 years, and I’m not a girl, but School Rumble is fun in a way that makes me feel like that. I’ve got the first two DVDs and am now eager to see the rest.
If my ramblings do convince you to watch it, catch a few episodes here.

Break-dancing Detergent
Need to get at least one last post to close out, NewsRadio Quote month.
I did watch plenty of NewsRadio episodes, especially from the final season. I saw the final episode which had Dave stuck with Matthew at WNYX and the rest of the gang off to New Hampshire with Jimmy James. Oh what adventures a season six would’ve brought. Unfortunately, it ended.
I wonder if they ever jumped the shark. Maybe, but you can’t make up for it when you lose the linchpin that was Bill McNeal. Sad. But life goes on.
NewsRadio. The best comedy of the nineties.
