I'm actually not too surprised. Whenever I hear a Manilow song, I feel like I'm in hell...

Well, the hell part is appropriate

I know you are all saying ‘what the f**k is that?!’“"
You got that right.
Now I can't eat breakfast. I gotta lie down.

Thank goodness I'm an old fogey who will not be seeing Hellboy 2. I am tormented by my own Demons... the Bee Gees.... *aaaarrgghh*

I did NOT click on the link assuming it was Barry Manilow.

I wonder if Barry has any idea how much derision and ridicule that he gets from this website to the point that we made fun of a TV character and called him Prez Manilow.
This is one of those cases where his publicist says: 'any publicity is good publicity'
(tries to care)
(fails)
(yawn)

Good on 'ya, Daisy! That was MY guess as well... When I read the first headline, I was hoping it was the RBR's, but I'm painfully optimistic...

Actually what is hellboy?
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | June 08, 2006 at 09:47 AM
Well paint me green and call bme Charlie! The Rock Bottom Remainders??? Or is it the studio pros who record your albums? Either way, that is truly awesome Dave. Have TRBRs ever been in a movie co-starring the f-word? Congrats to all of you!

Well, normally I kind of downgrade sequels, but now I'm looking forward to it! The only possible explanation for this choice is that there's going to be a fade-to-soft-focus flashback montage of Baby Hellboy (Hellbaby?) in his early days in Hellburbia with Hellmom and Helldad and Hellbigsis. The only real question now is, which of Barry's mega-hits will be filling the background as we watch Hellinfant roll, crawl and explore his way through numerous wacky, yet touching, developmental moments. I'm leaning toward Copacabana (sp?) although Mandy would be a strong second choice to give it that properly Hellish feeling.

...‘what the f**k is that?!’ indeed!
Posted by: Antonio | June 08, 2006 at 11:03 AM

(don't know any more about him...or copacabana)

Punkin' --
Your usage of the term fogey started me thinkin' ... wonderin' if the word is actually gender-specific ... or not ... so, my dictionary source indicates that it is not ...
HOWever, the same entry says that it is a derivative of an earlier slang term (origin unknown), to wit: fogram ...
So ... I'm suspectin' that it is, in fact, gender specific ... male/ram ... THEREfore, the feminine form would be fogewe ... which, in an of its ownself, brings to mind other possibilities ... merely ... explorin' the punnin' opportunities ...

OK, OtheU, I HAVE had my coffee this morning, but I still can't wrap my mind around that post...

Fonnyest thing you should menschun it ...

Punkin!!! I hate the BeeGees too. I thought I was the only one!
Posted by: Eleanor | June 08, 2006 at 02:22 PM
Punkin - Eleanor...I hate the Bee Gee's three. Which suggests that's not gender specific...maybe fogey (fogwe, fogher?) related??
Posted by: Al Literative | June 08, 2006 at 06:29 PM
... um ... fogewe ... merely ... um ... nevermind ...

They play Barry Manilow at the end of the movie to drive everyone out of the theater so the cleaning crew can get in.
