Tirty Tree and a Turd

I’m under the weather, so instead of participating in the contrived drunkenness of St. Patrick’s Day I’m staying in and watching Leprechaun: In the Hood, the fifth installment in the Leprechaun series of motion pictures and arguably the greatest Irish film of all time.

RELATED: Nov. 06, 1957. Everittstown, New Jersey.

    The line "Is there p***y in heaven?" became a slogan for my friends and I in college. I'm not at all proud of this, of course, but if I hadn't mentioned it here I would have been evading responsibility.

    (Censorship because, if this isn't a family website now, it goddamned will be whenever I have kids.)

    By the way, that's a line from the movie. I thought I should point that out on the extreme outside chance that you didn't really watch the movie at all.

    Also, um, "friends and me."

    I've seen it before, but not recently. I don't really remember much from the experience, for which I'm greatful. I could be confused, but I recall thinking it needed less Hood and more Leprechaun.

    I remember literally nothing about it except that one line. And that the guy who said it was dying. (from Leprechaun, presumably.)

    Hmm. Who hasn't pondered that theologically important question [I mean, what (nominally) Christian guy hasn't]? According to the New Testament, Jesus said there is no marriage in Heaven - you will do the work of Angels. Which, unless celestial fornication is OK with Jesus, means NO, there is no p***y in Heaven. Thus causing countless brooding, adolescent males to repeat that timeless plaintive refrain, "Life sucks, and then you die. And then, you go to Heaven and spend all eternity never getting laid!"

    In heaven
    There is no beer.
    That's why
    We drink it here.

More Brief Reviews of Movies I haven’t Seen

Brokeback Mountain: A love affair between a pair of homosexualist cowboys ends tragically when one is killed by a horse . The actors playing the leads are (supposedly) straight. Includes graphic sex scenes. If you are into this sort of thing stay home and rent the spaghetti western Django Kill...If You Live, Shoot! instead, it's a weird and entertaining film that includes an honest depiction of homosexualist cowboys - an entire gang of them. Memoirs of a Geisha: A trio of Chinese honeys infiltrates Japan by disguising themselves as whores. The potential of the premise squandered, as unlike the homosexualist cowboy film Memoirs of a Geisha is only PG-13. The Producers: A pair of real life homosexualists (Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane) portray heterosexual Broadway musical impresarios. Notice the pattern. Do you understand 'Hollywood logic' works now? King Kong: I’ve decided the old-style stop-motion animation is better than tedious modern CGI effects. The latter mechanical

The Illustrious House of Ramires , by Eça de Queirós. A novel about an ineffectual nobleman writing an historical novel about his heroic ancestors. Queirós has been called the Portuguese Flaubert. Large Fees and How to Get Them : a book for the private use of physicians , by Albert V. Harmon, M.D. If you practice early 20th medicine and want large fees, this book is essential reading. If you don’t, there are still lessons in its amusing and unsentimental discussion of various topics, like in the chapter “The Bugbear of Ethics”, where Harmon advises “ethics in its place is a good thing...But there is such a thing as overdoing the ethical proposition”. Histrionics: Three Plays and Over All the Mountain Tops , by Thomas Bernhard. Bernhard once said “I despise actors, indeed I hate them, for they ally themselves at the least sign of danger with the audience and betray the author and completely identify with stupidity and feeble-mindedness. Actors are the destroyers and extermin
