Enrico from Hotel Tuesday here. When I first started reading Puntabulous, I was so enthralled by Craig’s witty posts that I went far back into Puntabulous history and some old posts. Along the way, I stumbled across this, one of my favorite posts. Not only was it short, simple and funny, but it mentioned Kate Winslet AND I LOLed at Susannah’s comment, which totally made the post pointless.
So anyway, Craig decided that no one liked these entries or something and stopped making them. Whenever he mentions these old entries, I often bug him and tell him to start making them again because I enjoy them.
So when Craig asked for guest bloggers, I figured I could use this opportunity to rally support for the return of Puntabulous Does The Movies!
Here are some examples of Puntabulous Does the Movies that Craig has recently missed out on:
Here is Craig when he was cast as Miley Cyrus’ love interest in Hannah Montana: The Movie.
When shooting began, Hannah’s signature blond wig was often missing from the set. When Miley caught Craig wearing the wig, she had him fired.
Craig was the original actor hired to play Mr. Brown (Madea’s boyfriend) in Madea Goes To Jail.
He was let go when everyone finally realized he wasn’t black.
This is Craig when he briefly played the role of Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant in Sex and the City: The Movie.
But after replacing Sarah Jessica Parker’s wardrobe with only argyle-patterned clothing, he was fired. He was replaced by the equally sassy Jennifer Hudson.
And who could forget Craig’s recent role as Dr. Manhattan in Watchmen?
Unfortunately, Craig was cut from the movie based on audeince reaction during early screenings of the movie. The director later revealed: “All you could hear were gasps when Craig appeared in his full-frontal pose. The women were over-excited and the men looked really uncomfortable. It was such a sight it made it difficult to concentrate on the plot, so the decision was made to get rid of him.” A ‘lesser’ actor was hired to replace him.
Now do you see why Craig needs to bring back PDTM? If he doesn’t, you guys will always remember these poor excuses as the last installments of PDTM, and they deserve better. And did you ever realize that the tag “movies” leads to the link “http://puntabulous.com/category/puntabulous-does-the-movies/”? I say it’s time to make that link actually take us to Puntabulous Doing the Movies! Now who’s with me?
Ryan con la magdalena: Britney?? Miley?? Kate??
john: *SIGH*….I think you people are reading WAAAAAYYY too much into this whole hairthing deal. Cripes, don’t you people know me well enough by now to know how shallow I am??? I don’t put a lot of thought into things, I’m just not that deep!
Longish hair+cute guy= hairthing.
not-longish hair + any guay= NON=hairthing
Course, there is the corallary about bald black men, but I’m not going into that until you’ve grasped the basic hairthing theory.
HUGS….
Magdalena Hagdalena Uka Taka Waka Waka Oka Mocha Polka was her name.
Sorry. That just kinda popped into my head.
Cuppers! You stole my line “Wait . . . Craig isn’t black?”. Damn, that’s what I get for getting up so late.
Enrico – this is hilarious. I’ll praise more later, but I have to see a man about a car. Too funny!
Polt, john: See, I always thought the hairthing was an actual, y’know, *thing*. Like a barrette is a thing, or a ponytail holder is a thing, or a lice egg is a thing. I didn’t realize your thing was a “thang”…
I’m *so* much less confused now.
Enrico: Britney. If U Seek Amy isn’t as clever as I’d hoped. It would have been better if the innocent reading made grammatical sense.
Michelle M.: I was going to nominate him to be Colbert’s new black friend.
Stop doing research for spikeless on puntabulous!
that last comment was for Dave S
Ryan: Does Colbert need a new black friend? I’m still wondering if Hungary named that bridge in Budapest after him. Or that space station module.
Polt: But bald and black is so much easier to understand. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/ipol28/Hotblackguy.jpg A hair thing (or thang) is so subjective.
Polt: Don’t worry, I didn’t lose sleep or anything, I’m just trying to understanding the all seeing purple eye of Polt. I also admit that much of my confusion was due to the comments about bald black men because that really doesn’t seem like it qualifies as a hair thing. I think I understand it all now. Not sure I could pick one out in a line up, but I get the concept.
Dave S.: To use a phrase I know you will understand: “Whatchoo talkin’ about Willis?”
Michelle M.: Oh, I hope it is about getting a new one and not about repairing an older one.
I’d like to take this opportunity to make a post related comment and say how much I love Enrico’s barn drawing and the thing in Sarah Jessica Parker’s head. Which despite *not* being a hair thang, is a hair thing and is done quite well.
John: It looks like a gigantic drangonfly crashed into her head and she just left it there, which is so something SJP would wear (in character or not it seems).
Tam: It totally does! I think hats are cool on people that look good in them. I’m not familiar enough with SJP’s wardrobe choices in or out of character (I’ve never seen Sex in the City) but I imagine a good hat might help balance out her nose.
I don’t have a hat head. I look like a 12 year old if I put on a baseball cap.
I thought the thing in SJP’s head was reminiscent of Shaq(etc)’s lightning bolt hat-thingee from the Project Runway challange, and I just assumed Richard Parker helped Enrickyricardo on that shot.
HUGS…
And john: my head’s too big to wear a hat. Honestly. I have one baseball cap (with Church Street in Toronto on it, of all things) that I can wear. everything else is too small.
Ask Tam or Dave S., they’ve seen me. they’ll tell you i have a HUGE head.
(and come on now, we’re all too mature for the avalanche of forthcoming comments that I know will inevitably ensure, aren’t we?)
HUGS…
Polt: I won’t take the bait, but will say “big hat, big head, big brain”. You are so screwed when the zombie apocalypse happens.
John: Funny.
I’ve never seen an episode of SATC either. No interest but I’ve seen enough pics of the costumes.
Polt: Your head is in proportion to your size. You are tall, big hands, etc. If your head was too small you’d look like that shrunken head guy in Beetlejuice (which is probably spelled wrong but I’m too lazy to google it.)
Why is his head so big? Whyyyyyy is his head so big?
I couldn’t resist the Zim quote.
Damn Ryan, do you have all the episodes memorized?
Tam: Last week, I was using a list of quotes to find appropriate ones. Today, that quote came to mind immediately.
If I had searched today, I would have chosen: Did you summon a Big-Head Demon to give you a big head? Man, that is a REALLY big head!
Jonah: If you knew why I asked my computer question, that would mean that you actually visited my blog. Is this a confession?
Wow! I am late to the party again. Let me see if I can catch up…
Enrico: Great job on the post! I would have definitely paid extra to see Craiggers in Watchmen
Mark: Glad to hear things are going in the right direction, get well soon!
Dave S: Why yes, I am a fully accredited computer geek; B.S. in computer engineering and way more years experience than I like to admit in tech support, software development, and satellite data communication. Why do you ask (and don’t say because your computer’s built-in cup holder broke)?
Ryan: LOL @ big head quote! GIR always makes me laugh.
M. Nicodemus: I was going to watch all of Invader Zim again, but the second season of The Wire has caught me.
TRWTC: I haven’t seen The Wire, what network is it on? I am desperately trying to catch up on Supernatural. I am four episodes behind, and I can only watch when my wife isn’t home (she doesn’t do scary well).
SJPs hat is actually inspired by that hat she wore to the London premiere of SATC: The Movie. Guess no one picked up on that? lol.
Did anyone pick up on the quote about Craig’s penis being too big? Anyone??
M. Nicodemus: The Wire was on HBO. It finished its fifth and final season this past winter. I am watching the series again. I am also watching the second season of Supernatural, but The Wire is more awesome even if it has less eye candy.
Enrico, fabulous post! The Carrie Bradshaw one is my favorite.
Mark, I’m really glad that your recovery is going well. That stinks to have to undergo everything, but I’m glad it’s looking so good.
Enrico: I was not aware of SJP’s fashion choices at the various movie premieres. However, I did catch that you made Craig’s censor bar bigger than the one you used for yourself.
Ryan – No way! My (angled) censor bar went to my BENT knee, meaning that if I were standing straight up, it would go down farther than Craig’s. Until Craig finally compares censor bars with me, mine gets to go lower.
And SJPs hat was big news! Apparently the other girls were annoyed that she stole the attention…. I always hated when tabloids said the girls were fighting. I don’t believe any of it!
Enrico: It looks like Craig’s censor bar goes to hid mid-calves. However, the two of you could settle this by submitting photos. Of course, any photos should have reference objects.
Enrico: You seem to enjoy Dollhouse. I haven’t seen it. What do you like about it?
TRWTC: Everything! Well, to start, I love the premise, the idea that these people/dolls are walking around and can be virtually anyone. Not sure if you know the premise, but the Dollhouse is an organization that implants personalities into ‘blank slate people’ known as dolls. So if you need a…. spy that knows French and also mows the lawn, you can pay lots of money and get one. Anyway, Helo goes about trying to find the Dollhouse because he feels like the dolls are still real people and by turning them into the blank slate dolls, those who run the Dollhouse are basically committing murder. You get to see both sides and I love when shows do that-you don’t know which side to be on since you see into both sides so well.
I love the cast and how the doll actors are able to play so many different roles. Being that it’s from Joss Whedon, I also love the dialogue and the characterization. Honestly, a lot of this doesn’t kick in until a few episodes into the season, but when it gets good, it stays consistently good and gets better and better.
I also love twists, and this show is full of them.
This may be the only season, so you should go ahead and watch as the season was only 12 episodes long
Oh, and I ask Craig to compare all the time. He never complies.
Enrickyricardo: you could just send your photos to me for analysis. I have quite a bit of experience in dealing with what you’ll be comparing!!!
HUGS…
john – new old car. And it was a waste of time. Thing looked like it was in a demolition derby. Or maybe it hit Mark. Did I just go to far?
Mark – so glad you are with us and am hoping you are feeling 100% very, very soon.
Snickers, that was excellent – and I totally got the SJP hat. PDTM was hilarious and if Craig doesn’t bring it back (maybe he’ll pass the torch) and it will be HTDTM.
Oh, Susannah! (oh don’t you cry for me) I have a mental picture of her with her lips pursed, furiously typing, brow furrowed.
Yay, Carrie got the acorn hat!! Very good suggestion and post, Enrico. I will be looking those posts up.
Polt says “…with Craiggers as Dr. Manhattan called “Dr. Manhattan Does Dallas…” Oh, my!
