2016-05-05 What Would Jack Say

 Course whenever someone tells you that ‘it gives me no pleasure to tell you this’, before during and after doing just / just that,  (s)he’s probably / lying, but still / and all it gives Cin no pleasure to tell you that this Thirstday edition of this Take This Thing Back to Baltimore me-moirs and gives Cin no pleasure may result in a perennial member of the ©indominium permanent DVD ©ollection being relegated to the ®ecyling bin of h(er)story, being relegated to the ®ecyling bin of h(er)story is all / we gots.

 Go(o)d times, innit go(o)d, Mars Attacks is the DVD in question, ‘you’re an adult’ - What Would Jack Say to his wife in the movie, played by Annette Benning, as he drinks in the Galactic  ©asino in Vegas and makes her watch, even though she’s after taking / the ©ure, after she protests / the same – ‘deal / with it’, taking / the ©ure is all / we gots.

 

What it is is in Mars Attacks is that the Martians surround planet earth and send down radio transmissions to that extent, ‘the martians’, Benning’s character sha®es it better at g®oup, ‘heard our cries, and came down / to help.’ 

 

Jack, playing the role of the President of the United States in the movie as we do, well as Annette Benning’s gambler and soon to be was-band, akses his military / war cabinet what should be done about the martians, and is convinced by the same that honey draws more flies than vinegar, convinced that honey draws more flies than vinegar is all we gots.

 

Rolling literally out the red carpet for our new alien overlords, in the middle of the desert, replete with television camera crews from all over the world, the U.S. military machos  - ‘policia ?’ the young lad of South American descent aksed his mother better before during and after videeing (y)our man Cin the humble(d) narrator of (t)his Take This Thing Back to Baltime-moires and What Would Jack Say flanked by two military members from work that four-lettered word as we do at that mall in Dorval, Quebec innit RL where we were getting lunch because hangry before during and after that insane trip to Montreal, ‘no’, (y)our (wo)man the madre answered before during and after eye-balling us as we do, and coming to the conclusion that it was military folks and not police, ‘machos’ – realize too late the error if its ways.  When the head martian zaps a dove with its raygun as we do, all hell / breaks loose, all hell breaking loose is all / we gots.

Course we no longer televise extraterrestrial events like these live, ‘how did they know that one of the astronauts on the Challenger had dandruff?’ the set-up line of the terrible joke about the crew members of the all-fated space (it was the Columbia, space cadet, -id.) mission - the take-off and fiery end of which was videed live by everyone on God’s green earth, innit god, and left us all scarred / for life, expecially the eleven-teens at the time, scarred / for life is all / we gots - has it worse, ‘they found her Head / and Shoulders on / the beach.’         

Tim Burton directed this one, ‘Martians’ the newspaper (goggle it, we earthlings used / to read, and think) headline projects what’s to come next in the film as we do, ‘to address / ©ongress’.  Soon but not soon / enough out come the alien ®ayguns, and the white men congresscritters are RIP.

 

‘Not any’ – What Would Jack as POTUS Say in the film – ‘more’, before during and after the martians annihilate the U.S. ©ongress, and it’s no More Mr. Nice Guy, and the gloves / are off, and this after the Army General macho that five-lettered wordle played by Rod Sterling (‘kill’ is your man the General’s, and really the entire movie’s only memorable line, ‘kill / kill’ kill / kill / kill is all / we gots) tries to console Jack’s POTUS for his mistaken earlier emo ways of welcoming the martians onto our planet with open / arms, and by telling him that ‘everyone makes / mistakes’, everyone making mistakes is all / we gots.

Film is a ©omedy if you haven’t cottoned on to it yet, the martians are all three foot nothing and puppets of some kind, or ©GI / Computer-Generated Imagery, three foot nothing and puppets of some kind, or ©GI is all / we gots.  Soon it’s White House Down / the p®equel, with your men the martians ray-gunning everyone with a heartbeat in the place into oblivion, the last group to burn down the White House in Washington, D.©. of course was the British ®edcoats, passing as Canadians, way back in the 19th century (oh please hooker, goggle it -id.).

Course (y)our (Welsh)man the crooner Tom Jones makes a ©ameo in the film, singing his ‘It’s Not Unusual’ as we do at The Sands ©asino, prequelling the likes of Ziegfried and Roy and Shania Twain and Celine Dion some decades later, ‘get a hacksaw’ Mr. Jones pleads / stage whispers it better to Marge Simpson in The Simpsons episode in which he similarly has a ©ameo, and also sings ‘It’s Not Unusual’, but in which case Tom Jones is after being kidnapped by The Simpsons’ town of Springfield local billionaire Monty Burns and then chained to the stage and forced to sing / for Marge and husband Homer, ‘call / Interpol, anything.’

Interpol won’t help / you now, these little martian bastards in Mars Attacks is all kinds / of bloodthirsty, ‘Imma call’ the NYPD traffic cop in midtown said it better to us, innit Cash after pulling us over in the 280 ZX with Quebec plates, ‘Interpol’.  Your man Rod Serling’s Army General (that’s ‘Twilight Zone’, douchebag -id., it’s Rod Steiger) in the film is ray-gunned to a miniature size by our new alien overlords before being squashed like a bug, along with most of the case and a bunch of ®andos similarly dispatched, ‘why can’t we all’ – What Would Jack as POTUS aks it better in the money shot of the movie, ‘just get / along ?’, all just getting / along is all / we gots.            

 

      ‘It’s me’ your man the actor Jim Brown - playing a Las Vegas greeter and former and possibly current boxing heavyweight champion of the world and dressed like an Egyptian pharaoh as we do in the movie says it better to a group of martians in the Nevada desert and getting ready / to rumble with the same in the film because pugnacious - ‘heavy weight champion of / the world’.  ‘All’s that any of us can ever aspire to be’, (y)our man the former heavyweight champion of the world Jake Johnson (?) said it better – in almost cinarguably the best and only piece of advice that has ever been given / out / ever because GOAT / Greatest of All Time, ‘words of wisdom’ – What Would Jack Say as John Torrence to imaginary Overlook Hotel Gold Room barkeep Lloyd in Kubrick’s film version of your The Shining, Innit Mr. King, before during and after being spoonfed the old warhorse of a cliché that six-lettered wordler about (y)our (wo)men (wo)men, namely of course that ‘ you can’t live with ‘ em / you can’t live without ‘em ‘ -  ‘words / of wisdom’, with the heavyweight champion past or present qualifying his recent proclamation that the best thing in the world for us to be, the only thing in the world for us to be, and he’s / right, is magnanimous, ‘can afford to be / magnanimous’, magnanimous is all / we gots.

 

At Sixes and Sevens as of late – Plan A for Adult is the usual endless chaos and drama, ‘we take the ‘Human’ Cin said it better at lunch today in the ©ubicombs, ‘out ‘Human Resources’, only it was ‘out of’, and it was ‘they’, not ‘we’, though as a matter of poli©y Cin never refers to ‘they’ without knowing exactly who ‘they’ is , and where ‘they ‘ live, and where their children go to (that’s enough -id.), none of which is the case of course in / the ©ubicombs, ‘I’ the hundred thousand a year (wo)manager answered Cin after he aksed why he was being / canned at his previous ©ubicombs gig and before during and after (s)he delivered / the news, ‘don’t / know’, ‘we’re all’ Cin said it better to his current ©ubicombs neighbor last week, ‘just making it all / up as we go’ making it all / up as we go is all / we gots.

 

Course Plan B for Blog – ‘blog !’ read the arts-and-crafts sign that he and the rest of his fellow-sufferers all had to arts-and-craft individually before during and after the Last Day of the Ten Day at Rideauwood (free! Flog, it worked!) as we do to show some hope that four-lettered word (hooker please, -id.) for the future, ‘really ?’ one of (y)our (wo)men fellow-sufferers, all hard-core veterans of war stories too touching and tough for the pages and pixels so far of (t)his Take This Thing Back to Balti-memoires and What Would Jack Say (wo)managed to protest  before capitulating before during and after being shown the Crayons and glue made available to the last-day survivors of the Ten Day because emo to make / our signs - that is cintermittent, after making a terrible faux-pas two weeks ago and putting the URL / Universal Resource Locator of this Take This Thing Back to Baltimore me-moirs and URL at the bottom of an e-mail where it didn’t belong, loaded with enough honesty to ring true but also enough poetic license to defend against literal interpretation is all / we gots.

 

Course after damning the movie with faint praise, who can resist the ‘Extras’ bit of the DVD’s splashscreen, and playing ‘play’ for the fourth time in as many days.  Not / this guy, Mars Attacks like all of the DVDs in the ©indominium permanent ©ollection will be after playing all night and all day in a bid to stay / put, after playing all night and all day in a bid to stay / put is all / we gots. 

 

Oh yeah, it’s ‘you’re an adult’ – What Would Jack Say -  ‘just / ©ope’, just ©oping is all / we gots.

Thank you for reading (t)his Take This Thing Back to Balti-memoires and all that any of us can ever aspire to is to be magnanimous.
