The Critic Casts a Withering Gaze

“Hmph. Your flaccid dialog has all the wit and suspense of an infomercial, your alleged characters are two-dimensional cutouts wandering soullessly through explosions, car chases, and fart jokes, and your criminally inept direction is as elegant and purposeful as a three-legged hippopotamus having a heart attack.

“Oh, and congratulations on your record-breaking opening weekend.”

    Hover FTW! I already snorted out my tea reading the intro, then read back in TC voice and was DED. Snarky puppulence…too much…

  4. Emmberrann says:

  6. marthava says:

    I like how the earpieces on the glasses are UNDER his ears. LOL

  7. BB/VA says:

    So that’s what Lionel Twain looked like!

  8. Red Hamster says:

    I didn’t even see the voice advice in the mouse-over, but I just knew it was Truman Capote. I miss TC. Great job, NTMTOM. Thanks.

  9. O NO He/She/It DI-unt!!! says:

    so, NTM, don’t hold back now. Tell us,
    how you REALLY feel about the Hollywood Film Industry!!!!! :)

    (and the pup is a WONDERFUL T. Capote)

  10. Don’t call us, we’ll call you. Love you, babes. Mwah!

  11. Kar says:

    Obviously, he writes for the New Yorker magazine.

    And yes, Truman Capote. Brilliant writer, part of the inspiration for “To Kill a Mockingbird,” blah blah blah.

    To me he’ll always be Lionel Twain.

    “IT! IT is confusing! Say your goddamn pronouns!”

  12. Kar says:

    Oh, and I love how pup’s got those glasses perched on his non-bridge of a nose. As someone who desparately needs nose-pads even with sunglasses, I have to laugh at how low they’re perched.

  13. 260Oakley says:

    I give two thumbs… ah, wait. Damn.

  14. Theresa says:

    @260, Two dewclaws, perhaps? :mrgreen:

  15. O NO He/She/It DI-unt!!! says:

    @Emmberrann:

    “So I was talking to Jim and he had the nerve to tell me ‘I blame it on Walt Disney, where animals are given human qualities. People don’t understand that a wild animal is not something that is nice to pat. It can seriously harm you.’ FTW, Jim? You do know I’M a dog, right?… He didn’t get it.”

    DARLING! Marvelous to see you. (air kisses) How are you, such a long time… Is that Egyptian cotton? Marvelous. Lunch at Stefan’s dahling, I insist. Not Le Oui again. Feh! Don’t make me beg. I’m very busy. Oh, you push too hard. I accept! Fabulous!

  18. Hon Glad says:

    Your leading Lady has less talent than Sarah Bernhardt’s left leg. (It was wooden)
    Your script, did it come off a cereal packet?
    Your direction, you couldn’t direct traffic.

  19. O NO He/She/It DI-unt!!! says:

    :) @ BOTH pyrit & HG!! :)

  20. Matt says:
  21. BB/VA says:

    @260 – Both ears up, maybe?

  22. wannadance says:

    byyyyyeeeeeeeee, miss you already…

    he was a dagu genuis,,,,

  23. Alex says:

    Make sure to check out the Hipster Puppies link. hilarity.

  24. Beth says:

    Hmmmm, I guess I’m not that knowledgeable about TC. I was thinking more Randy Jackson on American Idol–

    “Dawg, I’m just not feeling it tonight. A little pitchy…”

  25. pyrit says:

    (indignant sniff) Criticise! You carp more than a goldfish. You make as much sense as a Star Wars prequel. Jack Black in the buff has more style than you. And sense of humour? You would laugh at Gandhi slipping on a banana peel.

  26. O NO He/She/It DI-unt!!! says:

    @ pyrit:

    I can’t locate the background for it presently,
    due to Computers Behaving Badly…but….

    “He has Van Gogh’s ear for music”!!! :)

  27. dub1 says:

    Wasn’t grokking this, until I imagined Twuman in his white fedora saying it to Michael Bay, Spielberg and Atom Egoyan: then
    ahhhhhhhhhh.

  28. pyrit says:

    “Oh pffff. Everypuggy’s a critic.”

  29. Piccadilly says:

    DEAL WIT IT.

  30. fatgrammafinn says:

    i dunno, i see more norman mailer than TC. that whole NM meets larry schiller

  31. bookmonstercats says:

    I want the puggulence to feed back on my feeble playwriting efforts (in fact, I just want the puggulence, full stop).

    If he’s not available, and he probably won’t be, NOMTOM will do.

  32. Marie says:

    Roger Epug?

  33. From Versace’s Canine Collection.

  34. 260Oakley says:

    Pugline Kael?

  35. Marie says:

    ^ *snort!*

    (I really miss Kael’s passion and brilliance btw.)

  36. But of course you should read it in Turman Capote’s voice he is the spitting Image in attitude.

  37. Samantha says:

    It’s all too true! But much cuter than usual. :)

  38. Hon Glad says:

    Where’s everyone gone?

  39. pyrit says:

    To the movies. They have pupcorn.

  40. Hon Glad says:

    Pyrit – that’s puposterous.

  41. warrior rabbit says:

    Is that Fursace he’s wearing?

  42. mplsdeb says:

    If he was wearing a black Fedora, it would be just perfect!

  43. SharonK1973 says:

    Waddup dawg!!!! Its Randy Jackson from American Idol!

  44. Marie says:

    “Fursace” LMAO!!

    Now that is cle-vah! ;D

  45. Danielle says:

    This has totally cured my Monday morning work grump!! :D

  46. Lewis n' Clark says:

    Actually, I think he looks like Billy Wilder directing Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in “Some Like it Hot” (or “Sunset Boulevard” or “Double Indemnity”); some of my all-time favorite movies.

  47. Amy says:

    Totally reminds me of Mickey Rourke in his monologue in the Expendables. Or Ironman 2. Same crazy hair, scholarly glasses and intense look.

  48. Sprout says:

    Hey- I’m no Pug! I’m a Smooth Coated Brussels Griffon, or if you’re Europee’n, a Petit Brabacon.
