DAVID BLAINE
i never liked this guy. he's a douchebag. last night i watched half of that thing on tv. i've always said card tricks are one of the highest forms of entertainment-- but these other things-- the box on the bridge in london, standing on a pole in new york, standing in a block of ice-- all that shit-- these are not magic tricks-- its not even daredevil shit-- there was this great part of the show last night here he goes and talks to Evel Knievel-- and the set up is great, it's like "i'm on my way to talk to yoda on his death bed to talk about holding my breath." and there's old Evel, hooked up to a resperator talking to dave about death defying and daring do. i wish i had a direct transcript but this is kinda close:
Dave: I think anybody can do this stuff but regular people have real jobs and --
Evel: (a la Burgess Meredith) Don't be an idjit Blaine! We're DAREDEVILS! A breed apart!
Dave: Wanna watch me hold my breath?
Evel: You're fuck'n A, I do!
Ok, that's not a direct quote, but the tone is there.
so i didnt know this was all happening until yesterday-- the whole living in a tank for a week thing. then he wanted to hold his breath for 9 minutes-- this still isnt magic! this is like shit the unpopular kid in school says he can do. this isnt death defying! i'm not that hung up on it but i just watched the end on YouTube where he fucked it all up. only made it to 7 minutes or something-- and he's crying and whatever. this isnt magic!
i can't beleive fiona apple went out with this jackass.
the ironic thing about that poster is it says "failure means a drowning death" which was bullshit-- drowning actually meant "divers would rescue him and the crowd will cheer a damn good try"-- fuck that. if ABC had the stones they would have let him fucking drown on live tv. we live in a nation of pussies.
See dumbass fail
