Zeee Colbear Reporrrrrrrr

The Colbert Report:

OMG. SO. MUCH. LOVE.

A very strong episode. At first the guest wasn't doing' it for me, but then they started talking in third person and that was awesome.

And the anchor-off! ::collapses into a helpless giggle fit on livingroom couch:: That was fucking awesome. And the other guy won. Stephen Colbert did good himself, but his pauses are just a shade too long and too mellodramatic. Even though for a second it looked like the other guy was going to crack and start laughing in the middle, he held his cool and out-anchored Colbert. AT POETRY TONGUE-TWISTERS. ::swoons::

I like Stephen's even more exaggerated persona. He reminds me of the guy from Hannity and Colmes (which I've only seen bits of because I tried to sit through it once and turned it off in disgust that adults won't act their age on television.) Like Hannity, but even swaggeryier. Yeah, that's a word. Don't let those sum'bitches at Webster tell you any different!

I also can't get over the fact that he says "report" like "Colbert". Seriously cracking up.


EDIT: I need a transcript of the poems at the end of the anchor-off. And I'd like to download it somewhere too, because my roommate missed that whole part.

Really? Cool. I've only seen about 30 minutes of the movie. Just long enough to be creeped out by Tim Curry in the scaryscary clown suit.

The book is good-- scarier by far than the movie (which was creepy at times, but not all that scary, I think. At least, not if you've read the book before hand, or are used to the more sophisticated presentation of blood/guts/monsters in more recent and modern films). The book did kinda have an anticlimactic sucky ending, but the other 90% of it was great and downright disturbing, so I recommend it. I've only read a portion of Stephen King books, but that was the one that scared me the most.

Actually, the scariest part is in the first few chapters-- the first chapter, if I remember it correctly. That's a 10 on the horror rank and if you can read past that scene (paper boat! omg! paper boat!), the rest of the book is steady 9 to 9.5.

The line "He thrust his fist against the post and still insists he sees the ghost," becomes an interesting motif for the character Bill-- he repeats it to keep himself from stuttering, but it eventually becomes a statement to clear his mind of fear and give him perspective when facing the horror. Sort of like the "You have no power over me" thing in Labrynth. (I'm guessing that quote, I can't remember). And of course the "ghost" part is right in line with a horror novel.
