Tuesday, November 27, 2007: The moderator

[Svix]

I'm sure that would make for quite humorous watching.

[datherman]

Layout = win. Isolde's movie = win. The fact that they need a moderator for the Zen party debate = hilarious. Entire strip wins one (1) Intarwebz.

[Mista_B]

Well now there's a rare dragon we haven't seen in awhile.

[Steve the Pocket]

I'm sure there are worse indie films out there.

[Tom Flapwell]

Funny, I would've expected Isolde to choose a title like that. But she's probably right that the title, not the subject matter, was responsible for its failure. I mean, if Jackass! The Movie could sell well enough for a sequel...

Hm, 15 syllables. Same as The Englishman Who Went up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain, which wasn't really a bomb, so it takes more than length to ruin a title.

[gforce422]

Isolde is back!!!!!!!

I wonder what will happen this time...

[Miles E Traysandor]

Gigli. 'Nuff said.


Anyway, good strip, but I kinda feel sorry for Isolde there.

[The J.A.M.]

The longest title I've heard is Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The 'Hood.

HA! Found a longer one! Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2: In Shocking 2-D

Or try: Another Demonstration of the Cliff-Guibert Fire Horse Reel, Showing a Young Girl Coming from an Office, Detaching Hose, Running with It 60 Feet, and Playing a Stream, All Inside of 30 Seconds (1900)

According to the Guinness Book, THIS takes the cake: Un Fatto di sangue nel commune di Siculiana fra due uomini per causa di una vedova; si sospettano moventi politici. Amore-Morte-Shimmy. Lugano bella. Tarantelle.Tarallucci e vino. (A fact of blood in the town of Siculiana between two men on account of one widow. Political motives are suspected. Love-Death-Shimmy. Beautiful Lugano. Tarantulas/Tarantella dances. Tarallucci (short pastry biscuits) and wine.)
English title: Revenge

[VenM2]

lol thats insane.

[Rasputin42x69]

Isolde! <3

Somehow, I can definitely see her moderating a Zen Party debate.

And I'd pay to see that movie in a heartbeat.

[Tabris_The_17th]

I'd watch it

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind did quite well.

Nice strip, though it makes me wonder if Isolde will ever get tired of whacking helpless people with her tail.

That sounds like something you'd read about in a "Strange but True" book, column, etc. Complete with punchline.

[Tom Flapwell]

The longest movie title I've heard of for reasons other than length is Everything You've Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask), at 19 syllables -- or 20, depending how you pronounce "everything."

...And I'm really glad that Isolde's film didn't get that title.
