‘Bred Crumbs

You had a good run, "bear-awesome," but there’s a new hot TV-based catchphrase in town.

• Kate on Lost, two weeks back: "you don’t have to be belligerent just for belligerent’s sake." (We would assume she was attempting to say "belligerence’s sake," except that, well, it’s Kate.)
• Dwight on The Office, tonight: "malfeasance for malfeasance’s sake" — said with understandable difficulty.

Or … we could just cause a trendiness pile-on and combine them. Here’s what I’m going to be saying around the office all day tomorrow:

"You’re just being bear-awesome for bear-awesomeness’ sake."

And Soy-wipe to …

It’s been a while since I braved the waters of cable access, but I had to once I saw "The Vegan Vixens Show" in the listings.

I barely lasted a minute. The content: a half-dozen women shaking their malnourished asses in between cozying up to lettuce-friendly celebrities like Ed Begley at some Green fest in some park somewhere. I guess when one’s brain cells start shriveling up from lack of protein, this is what entertains one.

Yes, the shaking and the cozying were joined by the requisite, cable-access-required goofy screen wipes.

Devil’s advocate: would I have kept watching if they were guys?

(1) No, because they’d be painfully skinny. It would be like watching an all-Iggy Pop fashion show. (Which is to say, a fashion show.)

(2) Even if (1) weren’t true, I’d at least have to turn the sound down.

Next Time, We Belittle Park City

For friends of ’Bred Crumbs who haven’t visited my filmmaking site, Hidden Deadly, lately to see if anything’s been posted, oh, in the past year, there’s news. Our second short film, The Point of Boxes, got in a festival, in Sacramento. Apparently, the way to get into a film festival is to make a film with characters who mock the host town.
