A Clump of Plinth - Patrick Ripoll's CHUD Blog

[Patrick Ripoll]

A bit of a weak start, to be honest, but at least I'm writing something.

#1 - The Mighty Boosh wants to eat your flesh (http://chud.com/articles/blogs/980/The-Mighty-Boosh-wants-to-eat-your-flesh.html)

[Renn Brown]

Very nice, Pat. I'll be keeping an eye out for new ones.

[Dross]

Same here.

[Patrick Ripoll]

Edited to add more links, another paragraph about TCM: TNG, and to fix some spelling errors.

[Tati]

I share the love for the book Patrick. My Favorite book as well. Just hilarious.

[Jake]

So technically The Mighty Boosh raped your childhood, right?

[Cuchulain]

I actually laughed out loud at the Matthew McConaughey joke. That was quite good. You might want to proofread your stuff a bit more carefully in order to weed out the sentence fragments and the like but--so far--I dig what you are putting down.

[Phil]

Jennings' music video for Imitation of Life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEhT2QlRBMo) is a bit of a mindfuck, though its effect is diminished watching it on a youtube.

[EdHocken]

So my favorite movie is your least favorite movie? So you don't like Chinatown, eh?

[Patrick Ripoll]

#2 - Seriously though, MotherFUCK Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres (http://chud.com/articles/blogs/991/Seriously-though-MotherFUCK-Aqua-Teen-Hunger-Force-Colon-Movie-Film-For-Theatres.html)

Sorry Molt, I tried to love Above the Law, and it definitely had it's moments, but in the end, not for me.

[Fat Elvis]

Maybe a generational thing, but do you know how painful a segue it is from Led Zep to Blink?

Cool blog none the less.

[Patrick Ripoll]

Whatever. I'm never going to win any prizes in respectful awe of classic rock bands, especially bands that stole so shamelessly from blues artists.

[Andrew Eaton]

Interesting fact about "I Miss You": the drum part is a single loop repeated. Another interesting fact: it's a pretty neat song from an album that overall is pretty forgettable.

Nice write-up Ripoll.

[Patrick Ripoll]

I Miss You is even more of a rap song than Fool in the Rain. They both drop a verse, and then repeat the hook. Simple. The fact that the drumbit is looped doesn't surprise me a bit.

[Patrick Ripoll]

#3 - Sopistibate (http://chud.com/articles/blogs/1032/Sophistibate.html)

This is a pretty adult (in a childish kind of way) post, so turn the lights down, light some candles, and get comfortable.

[Patrick Ripoll]

#4 - 10 Things I Hate About Julia Stiles (http://chud.com/articles/blogs/1082/10-Things-I-Hate-About-Julia-Stiles.html)

[Gabe Powers]

Gordon Levitt was good in what I saw of Mysterious Skin, he was always good on Third Rock From the Sun, and I've heard he's good in The Lookout. I'm thinking GI Joe won't be the best thing for his career though.

[Patrick Ripoll]

Considering he's only made a name for himself with roles in smaller films, I'm thinking the opposite is true.

Actually, I had forgotten all about GI Joe and Levitt's part in it. Now I'm excited about life again.

[Gabe Powers]

I've had many, many adult friends and co-workers express worry to me about JG-L playing Cobra Commander as the 'movie guy'. It's not like Cobra Commander is comparable to The Joker or Lex Luthor in children's entertainment or pop culture importance, he's a literally facless bad guy on a cartoon made to sell toys. Honestly it sort of shocks me every time. And if I remember correctly Cobra Commander was always a sort of weasly villain anyway.

[Patrick Ripoll]

You have many many friends and co-workers who give a shit about GI Joe? Huh.

And Joseph Gordon Levitt is a weaselly kind of guy, so I have faith that it'll be at least a cringe-worthy performance.

[Gabe Powers]

Those are both my point - why the hell do they care (and coming from the guy who took the time to watch the season finale of Avatar the Last Airbender, that's saying something), and the casting sounds fine. I think everyone wants muscle men for everyone of their childhood favs.

[Dross]

Levitt is great in The Lookout.

[Phil]

Gordon Levitt was good in what I saw of Mysterious Skin

Please expand.

And for what it's worth, he's GREAT in that film. The whole film. First Araki flick I enjoyed.

It was playing on TV (I think IFC) and I turned it on in the middle. I decided to stop watching it because I'd missed too much and haven't picked it up since, but it's on the ol' Netflix queue.

[Phil]

If I were making favorites of the decade list, that one would be on it. More people should see it.

#5 - Barack Roll (http://chud.com/articles/blogs/1114/Barack-Roll.html)

#6 - Picking Out A Movie (http://chud.com/articles/blogs/1160/Picking-out-a-movie.html)

I can't log onto my CHUD Blog account, so here's the first of many weekly vlogs I'm going to be doing courtesy of Youtube:

Patrick Ripoll's CHUD.com Vlog #1: "Watchmen" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZXkIypi37g)

[Phil]

Uh...the fuck is going on, Patrick? "Having trouble focusing on typing?"

Stop smashing up your parents' kitchen. They paid money for all that.

Thanks for the shout out, which in truth was a little terrifying in context. And thanks for wearing clothes.

[Tati]

On meds? Are you ok?

[Abbott & Prospero]

Patrick Ripoll's CHUD.com Vlog #1: "Watchmen" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZXkIypi37g)


Did you put that blue dick magnet on the fridge as a Watchmen easter egg?

[devincf]

hahahaa that's so good.

[Carpet]

Thanks for not going full retard and embaressing me. Asshole.

[Patrick Ripoll]

Next one will be better, I promise.

[BubWilliams]

Thanks for not going full retard and embaressing me. Asshole.

You mean that wasn't full retard?

[Timothy225]

This is for you, Patrick. A brilliant performance. Well done.

[BubWilliams]

I get a laugh out of that off screen Goddamnit.

[James Kimbell]

Like a young Galifianakis.

Delightful.

[Lima Oscar Lima]

Not since Mel Gibson's booze-fueled meltdown, have I been this entertained!

Bravo, sir!

[Dross]

Like a young Galifianakis.

Delightful.

Exactly. So funny.

[Carpet]

You mean that wasn't full retard?
He doesn't go full retard until after he's had a few beers and half a bottle of vodka. There is also a video of this.

[Renn Brown]

Wonderful. Awesome. Amazing. Superlative.

[flyarz]

Bravo.

[wadew1]

Keep your head up.
You have access to a fine spice rack.

[C.Swicegood]

Incredible, sir. Just incredible.

I'm sure that there will be many who imitate this but they won't even come close.

[Sister Gracie Lou]

Very well done, Mr. Ripoll.

The Chewer in me laughed. The Mom in me wants to give you a big hug.

[Patrick Ripoll]

Patrick Ripoll's CHUD.com VLOG #2: "Summer Movies" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzduswBtcz0)

[C.Swicegood]

That first cut away made me lose my shit.

Masterful.

[Lima Oscar Lima]

Best quote of the day...

"It's a slice of life, Carly!"

[Tati]

i want to play on those elastic beds on the garden!

[Phil]

You have huge fucking hands. I feel bad for your woman.

[BubWilliams]

This is like something you'd see on Tim and Eric, only actually funny.

[Timothy225]

"Summer's going to be shit."

I'm fuckin' dying over here. Well done, Patrick!

[Carpet]

...does that mean you want to jump on my trampoline..?

You have huge fucking hands. I feel bad for your woman.
If anything, they are a bonus.

[Phil]

You're not hearing me.

[James May]

Great stuff. Even funnier than the first. Epic. A masterpiece. If you only watch one Vlog this week, make it this one. etc..

[Patrick Ripoll]

Next one will be better, I promise.

[Anderson]

Next one will be better, I promise.

break out Ripollina and make it work.

[Andre Dellamorte]

It's like Shoot the Moon meets Cloverfield.

[Patrick Ripoll]
