Fountainhead
Over at the 2 Blowhards they have proclaimed The Fountainhead the most earnestly pretentious movie ever. Dudes, that's my movie you're talking about. In a few days I will watch it for about the dozenth time; I'm having some buddies over who have never seen it, and I'll get my entertainment from observing their reactions, which will range from stunned disbelief to pure hilarity. These Fountainhead parties are a ritual for me; one time I even baked a cake in the shape of the model of the funky bank building that shows up early in the movie. (If you've seen it, you'll remember it as the glass rectangle mounted on four stilts -- the monster with no door anywhere. What the heck kind of bank is that, I ask you.)
Many of you already noticed one of my little joke pages is devoted to a modest proposal regarding The Fountainhead. Colorizing an Ayn Rand film: I wonder how many people got the joke. (Credit goes to my friend Molly who first suggested it.) I've certainly not received any comments about it; maybe it's because people (dare I say) don't think my execution of it is terribly funny. You can see a picture of the 4-stilted monster there.
My other joke page, my pride and joy really, is the New World Order, wherein I provide what I believe to be my one truly unique idea, combined with truly unique images. As a bonus, I've thrown in some gratuitous UN bashing. I finally received my first email regarding that page this week. Hey, somebody finally noticed!
