So this happened all the time, even though we like to pretend it didn’t.
In Britain! I meant to say it happened all the time in Britain!
We were way cooler over here in America…
This happened three years after that video. Why is it weird his legs are on top?
Meet the Oxy-Morons:
Smallville's Sam Jones & Big Brother's Adam Jasinski
I don't oxycodone the abuse of prescription medication.
Within 24 hours, it was announced that two former “tv stars” were picked up by the DEA in connection with buying and selling oxycodone AKA oxycontin AKA hillbilly heroin AKA Rush Limbaugh’s best friend.
Sam Jones played young Superman’s best friend in the first three seasons of Smallville, and Adam Jasinski played “Baller” on the ninth season of Big Brother.
Jones was picked up in Los Angeles and had in his possession 10,000 pills; Jasinski was picked up North Reading, Massachusetts with 2000 pills, which he purchased with the half-million dollars he won on the summer long show.
What’s the connection that makes this a possible Coinkydink or a possible Coinkydonk?
The fact that they happened so close together, people. Isn’t that enough?
How weird is it that the DEA targeted two individuals selling hillbilly heroin in two different states with two different amounts in their possession? How weird is it that they were featured in two different shows on two different networks and that were opposite styles (sci-fi drama and reality)?
Jones could have been the Hollywood mastermind, a real-life villain if you will. And he used his connections to lure the champion Jasinski that just won $500,000 to distribute pills in a sorta small town.
Real-life villain… Superman meets reality tv… small town… North Reading like Smallville… the feds are watching… Big Brother has cameras everywhere… their last names both start with J… Jor-El is Superman’s father’s… Julie Chen hosted Big Brother… anything?
In response to the post title’s inquiry: they’re all… Actors!
Here’s a couple things I’ve been JusWondering about each.
1) Gene Hackman
"Men at Work 2: Trash Tweens"
Whatever happened to Gene “Hack Man” Hackman? Why hasn’t he been acting lately? The last film he appeared in was Welcome to Mooseport, and heaven forbid something happens to him, but does an actor of his caliber really want his swan song to be a co-starring vehicle with the guy that played a CGI mammoth? Personally, I think he’s better than most of the Actors! of his generation… mostly because he was Lex Luthor and Popeye Doyle. And of course, Royal Tenenbaum.
2) Paul Rudd/Steve Guttenberg
The Rudd meets the Gute, and it was "Grute"
Paul Rudd reminds my mother of Steve Guttenberg, for some reason. Though I would have to admit that if they when they remake Police Academy, Rudd would make a great Mahoney.
I also think he would make a great Krull, if that’s what the main character’s name was. If Krull is the blue guy, the chick, or the kick-ass weapon, then no. All I remember about Krull is that kick-ass weapon.
I should have Photoshopped Rudd into this, but I'm lazy.
3) Justin Long
He Longs for a major hit.
How about this guy and his scene stealing? I don’t think he works as well as a lead (Accepted or Waiting…), or as well as an assistant lead (Live Free or Die Hard), but in bit parts… he shines. Since I was initially amused by him in Galaxy Quest, he’s eaten the scenery (and his co-stars) in The Break Up, Idiocracy, Walk Hard, and Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Will Ferrell started off the same way, in the background out loud, and now he slays in (most of) his films. Maybe the same will happen Justin time so he won’t have to wait for too Long.
From time to time, I like playing “What Superpower Would You Like to Have?” with my friends. It’s usually the guys who participate, but the ladies have as well. To play, you usually have to rule out the standards of the comics industry, like your Superman’s, your Spider-Man’s, and any of the X-Men. Only straight-up special abilities are allowed. For instance, last night’s trio of options:
Indestructibility was chosen by most (myself included, at first… I’m so wishy-washy). It was decided that this allowed you an extent of fearlessness that would bolster you upon whatever life path you wanted. Whether it be in business, in sports, or on the battlefield, you could be all you could be.
Invisibility was looked at as a shady route, which it most likely would be. You’re given the ability to be sneaky and spy, to be a pervert, or to be a master thief. No one selected this option… out loud.
Flight was a moot point, until my friend Devin interjected that it would be the most freeing. He suggested that life would be a little less stressful if you could get up and go when the world was getting you down. This got me thinking that I wanted Flight powers as well, because it too would provide you with an extra boost of confidence to accomplish more in this world.
Plus, how cool would it be to show up at the Red Carpet of the Academy Awards show, flying around, screaming, “Look at me! Look at me!” You’d take all the attention away from the glory hounds of Hollywood (but you’d probably also get shot down to be taken and examined, so… maybe not).
Here I come!
Devin also wondered if Indestructibility also provided some level of Immortality, because as he saw it, if the world blew up, you’d be stuck floating in space for forever. I responded by stating you probably wouldn’t be the only one in the entire planet that had this ability, which then brought the whole discussion crashing down. I guess the game of “What Superpower Would You Like to Have?” isn’t as Indestructible as I thought.
I have a friend that, as another of my friends pointed out (who is also friends with him), suffers from Mary Jane Watson Syndrome.
“Mary Jane Watson Syndrome?” you may ask. “That’s not in the DSM-IV.”
You’d be the wrong kind of nerd for asking that question, but it is true. The Mary Jane Watson Syndrome, as explained by my friend (about my other friend):
He likes to make people think he’s doing better than he’s actually doing, because it’s too embarrassing. Like in the first “Spider-Man” film, when Mary Jane runs into Peter for the first time in New York, and she tells him all the wonderful things she’s accomplished. Then the short order chef comes out and exposes her lie…
It’s the Mary Jane Watson Syndrome.
Poignant, geeky, and spot-on, for sure. But it got me wondering – are there other conditions that could be defined by the ladies in superhero films? I mean, they typically aren’t written as the most stalwart of women. Otherwise, who would be left for the hero to save if there were no damsels in distress?
