Alas, in my enthusiasm I forgot to note the most important part of the Liza Minelli special ( Read more... )

Oh noooooo!
Scratch my comment about hauling the telly to William's, then.
:(
I could get somethin' from Netflix...

p.s. Damn you for getting to go to Saburo's!

JEM! THEY HAVE "LIZA WITH A Z" ON NETFLIX!!

Queuing that shit right now! Maybe we can have Liza Night @ Wm's after all...

mydarkstar March 31 2006, 18:51:41 UTC

...buuut it's not due to be released 'til April 4, so it'll have to be next week. I do have R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet" in my queue, though!

terebi_me March 31 2006, 19:29:34 UTC

If you can get through the R.Kelly video you're a stronger person than I am... I'd like to burn down his house and destroy every single thing he owns and then kill all his pets and hit his mother in the face with a shovel. Or, alternately, just cut off his dick and then let him bleed to death while an entire class of ninth-grade girls urinates on him.

I hope I've got the time next week!... and as much fun as you and I and Suzie would have had, wrecking Wm's place while he's out (hee!) it's a good thing in the end, because I need to write a bunch this weekend, and also Firefly came in at the library, with the worst timing ever - so I have 22 hour-long episodes of television to attempt to get through, while simultaneously trying to finish the novel. I am not optimistic about getting through all of Firefly; I think I'm going to end up having to rent it later in the summer. Then again, it might totally rub me the wrong way, and then I don't have to watch it at all!

To be honest, I am torn between the "it's supposed to be horrifically (unintentionally) funny shit" factor and the "but he's a revolting child rapist and it makes me ill that people still support him and buy his albums and call any persecution of him 'racist' when he's on tape urinating on barely-pubescent girls" factor. At least it's Netflix, and I wouldn't actually be putting any money in his evil pockets...but...

Wm actually expressed some interest in seeing it with us, so POO! 'Twould have been bitchin'. And I've heard very mixed reviews on Firefly - I've never seen it, but I have friends who love it, and friends who find it utterly loathsome. The latter category tend to be older people whose opinions I respect more (I love sonatine, who is a Firely fanatic, and all, but she also has been known to love Tori Amos and Dave Matthews Band, so I am not optimistic about her choices in entertainment), so I wouldn't get my hopes up too high. Both William and violetisblue, my favourite lesbian lawyer of all time, hated hated hated it, if that tells you

don't despair! bookbabe1999 April 1 2006, 03:53:23 UTC

showtime is having a free preview this weekend!

and liza is on the schedule!!!

so you are SO in luck!!!

:)

Unfortunately, free preview or not, you'd need to have slightly less basic cable than what we've got to see Showtime... giant huge bummer. I'll wait for Netflix to make my hot Fosse dreams come true.

squeakymonkey April 2 2006, 02:41:57 UTC

Um it's free Showtime weekend, actually. So anyone with cable/dish has it.

I wish I had checked in earlier.

I don't think I've ever been to Saburo, because it's always mobbed. IMHO, Yuki has the best fish out of any place I've ever been.

trust me; no Liza available at my place. terebi_me April 2 2006, 03:12:44 UTC

Believe me, I've checked all the channels that we have, and it's not on any one of them. I think that if we had the kind of cable that gives you three digits of channels, it might be there, but it doesn't seem to be on 81-channel basic... ah well, I WILL see it one of these days, and it's OK that it's not today.
