Mamma Sly

Sylvester Stallone’s mom, Jacqueline, claims to be an astrologer/psychic and a little something of a rumpologist.


89 years Sly.

In case you’re not familiar with rumpology, here’s a little bit from Jacqueline’s website (which is probably someone joking around, right? Right?):

Jacqueline Stallone, the foremost American rumpologist, has revealed and revived the ancient art of Rumpology. Rump reading is an art that was practiced in ancient Babylon, India, Greece, and Rome. The ancient Greeks thought the derriere was the key to health and fidelity and the Romans used prints of the gluteus maximus the way some people use palmistry today, to determine potential talents and future success.

Rumpology is sometimes called butt reading in modern parlance. It is the art of reading the lines, crevices, dimples, and folds of the buttocks to divine the individual’s character and gain an understanding of what has occurred in the past and get a prediction of the future.

Ancient rump reading was done when the seeker covered his or her derriere (rump, butt) with HENNA dye (a brown- orange dye made from plant fibers) and sat on a medium (such as papyrus) to leave a impression, much like a fingerprint, palm, or foot print. Such prints are highly individualistic, as no two people share the same markings.

Jacqueline has discovered that the left and right cheeks reveal a person’s past and future, respectively. The right buttocks represents the left cerebral hemisphere of the brain, while the left buttocks represents the right hemisphere. It is similar to palmistry — where the left palm represents the past and the right palm represents the future. A rump report from Jacqueline Stallone can tell you whether you are going “ass-backwards” or eyes open into the future.

And there’s even more, “the crack”- the gluteal cleft.

“I have been asked many times about the gluteal cleft. It is more than an advertising sign for plumbers, teens, and non-conformists. IT HAS REAL SIGNIFICANCE.

It is a natural part of the human body and of vital importance. It represents the division between the ying/yang, good/bad, light/darkness, between your past– the left cheek and your future — the right cheek.

I have noticed in my years of rumpology reading that it often has characteristics of personality. Many bankers cleft’s are very short; while lawyers are very long. It can also vary in width — with politician’s seemingly extra wide and cop’s notoriously narrow. Have you had a look in the mirror recently at yours?

Modern technology has helped bring the ancient art of Rumpology into the 21st century. Thanks to digital photography, you can take a very accurate picture of your rump, a POSITIVE image, print it and and send it to Jacqueline and have her do a reading! She will analyze the details of your rump, both left and right hemispheres as well as the gluteal cleft and send you a multi-page report.

Upon your payment you will be able to download a Rumpology Report Request Form in which you will provide necessary personal information (your name and address, date of birth, and gender). Simply follow the instructions on the form: fill it out and mail it to Jacqueline Stallone along with a printed photograph of your rump, and you will receive your report.

For $300 a cheek, or just $250 for the crack, in three weeks you could have a rumpology report from Jacqueline.

I wonder: did she foresee this when she read her lesser-known-son, Frank’s ass?

Really, Roger Ebert? “Fatal Beauty”?

If you want to have a great time online, I recommend going to Roger Ebert’s website to read his movie reviews. He’s written about close to every movie—except for Night of the Comet, They Live, The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, and a few others. But there are still a lot of great finds. Whether you agree with him or not—me and Rog disagree big time on Blue Velvet—he’s always worth the read. And he’ll sometimes surprise the shit out of you.

For example: he gave a three-star review to Whoopi Goldberg’s dreadful 1987 cop flick Fatal Beauty. I watched this movie a while back one lonesome Saturday morning in the basement of a Staten Island splint-level ranch.*

Once you get over the the obvious weirdness of Whoopi Goldberg playing a detective named Rita Rizzoli** and Sam Elliott’s character’s*** attraction to her—and you won’t get over either of these—you’ll spend the whole time yelling at your television, “That’s fucking ridiculous!”


This piece of shit made it all the way to France.

 

Fuck! The trailer makes me want to watch it again.

And you have a point, Ebert. Whoopi was pretty good in that one dramatic, completely out-of-place scene in the movie.

* Thanks for the accommodations, Greg. I still owe you a place to crash and a shitty movie.

** …Yeah.

*** …He’s in this too.

Remembering George

Three years ago today, June 22, 2008, George Carlin died. One of my most treasured moments was seeing him perform live.

Only three months later he’d be gone. I’m glad I got to see him in time, but I never got the opportunity to meet him. I never got the chance to thank him. But after he died, I found the following quote, which used to hang on the wall above my desk in my old apartment:

It’s been almost a year since I moved. It’s about time I find a good place to hang it.

“Calvin and Hobbes” Fan Fiction

Comedian Billy Keenly has some great Calvin and Hobbes fan fiction. You’ll never look at the boy, his stuffed tiger, or the hopelessness of the human condition the same way ever again.

How Human Are You?

According to Dr. Robert Epstein of Epstein Humanness Inventory, I am a “SUBHUMAN HUMANOID!”

So says his How Human Are You? test, on which I scored 68 percent “correct”! (45 correct out of 66). The good doctor expounds below:

This is DEPRESSING NEWS!

You look, sound, and smell like a human – especially smell – but you have almost no clue about what makes people tick.

You might make a good toll collector or senator.

What this test is all about (seriously): Nonhumans are likely to have great difficulty answering questions about unique human characteristics: our informality, idiosyncracies, and individual styles, for example. Even more difficult for a nonhuman to fathom: extremely subtle aspects of human relationships and emotions, as well as how these and other human phenomena change as we get older. Humans also make predictable errors; when computer programs are written that imitate people, they always incorporate a serious dose of “artificial stupidity” – spelling, arithmetic, and reasoning errors, for example. To be human is to err.

He then goes on to give me a summary of human behaviors like: “Many of us stubbornly believe in God or the supernatural, no matter what the facts.” And “we feel profoundly embarrassed if we fart at the wrong time.” I knew all that already. I was programmed to know that, dickhead!

Take the test yourself and see if you’re more human than your favorite comedian.

You should see me in Blind Fury.

Madea vs. Spike

As Janelle Richards reports in The Grio, shit is going down between America’s favorite mad black woman and Spike Lee!

Hush your mouth, child!

Two years ago, Spike “alluded to [Madea's] work on film and television in particular as coonery buffoonery.”

Understandably, it took Madea some time—two years!—to craft her recent comeback:

“I’m so sick of hearing about damn Spike Lee,” [Madea] said during the press conference. “Spike can go straight to hell! You can print that. I am sick of him talking about me, I am sick of him saying, ‘this is a coon, this is a buffoon.’ I am sick of him talking about black people going to see movies. This is what he said: ‘you vote by what you see,’ as if black people don’t know what they want to see.”

Things got even more real when Madea had this to say about her black critics:

“I’ve never seen Jewish people attack Seinfeld and say, ‘This is a stereotype,’” he said. “I’ve never seen Italian people attack The Sopranos, I’ve never seen Jewish people complaining about Mrs. Doubtfire or Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie. I never saw it. It’s always black people, and this is something that I cannot undo.”

She’s got a point. Where you at, Jews and Italians? Why don’t you ever attack your critically acclaimed shit?

And you, Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman! How dare you run around with that weak-ass age-old Jewish stereotype: Oh yeah, Jewish men are all about the cross-dressin’! Especially when it moves the plot forward! Even more specifically, when it’s a way to spend more time with your children (Mrs. Doubtfire)! Or the only way for a struggling, hard-to-deal-with actor to make it in entertainment (Tootsie)!

Good job, Madea, calling out Spike and pointing out this Leni Riefenstahl-type shit!

In case you missed it, here’s the video of our good friend Eliza Skinner, a true Madea fan:

Total Recall (2012)

Wow! It looks like the 2012 remake of Total Recall is going to be really good-looking! The rumored cast includes such beauties as Jessica Biel, Diane Krueger, and Ava Mendes. Even the new director, Len Wiseman, is hotter than 1990 Total Recall‘s director, Paul Verhoeven!

But topping off the hot remake is Colin Farrel, who is sure to bring some bad-boy handsome to the role of Doug Quaid/Hauser—something Arnold Schwarzenegger could never do.

I’m interested to see if it’s possible for Colin Farrel’s face to get this ugly:

But more than anything, I can’t wait to see which Hollywood cutie they get to play Kuato:
