Vince from ShamWow!

I just saw a ShamWow! commercial while watching the WBC, and was once again baffled about why Vince wears one of those Britney Spears headsets.
So I went to Wikipedia, where I learned two very interesting things:
1) Vince is a former Scientologist who sued the Church of Scientology in 2006, and
2) Vince is the producer, director and writer of "Underground Comedy Movie," that wretched looking movie that was advertised on 30 second ads on Comedy Central and similar places a few years back.

Also, his full name is Vincent Offer Schlomi
Even his name sounds like he’s trying to sell me something.

Notwithstanding his infomercial success, Offer says that “this is not my career” and that he considers himself in the film business.

It was about as subtle as a bukkake scene.
And what kind of directing did Eastwood do? “Hey you, act really Asian. No, not Asian enough.” and “Okay, self, you’re going to be the hooker with the heart of gold. That’s a story that’s never been told.”
What the fuck was the Asian kid doing at the reading of the will? And the Asian girl was like Jar Jar Binks, to me, for some reason.
There were a few funny lines, but if I hadn’t been trying to avoid my girlfriend for a couple of hours, it would have been $8 poorly spent.

i watched the history (discovery?) channel series gangland
where they were showcasing hmong gangs. Perhaps I’m just being racist but the thought of these really scrawny asians being in a gang is kind of funny. They were talking about how when they started early on, they only had nunchucks and they got into a fight with skinheads who just pulled out their guns.
Of course, now they all have heavy artillery so it probably doesn’t matter too much that you are scrawny

That seemed to be the message of the movie, too...
Asian gangmembers are such pussies that an 80 year old man can kick their asses.
You know what else I couldn’t figure out? Why is it that shooting Clint Eastwood was enough to get them arrested, but raping the girl wasn’t?
Man, that movie was stoopid.

Michael Bay is so much better than Clint it's not even funny.
The only director who can compare to him in awfulness and ineptitude and all around atrocities against the film going public is the directorial combo of Seltzer and Friedman, but they’re not really making the same sorts of films at all so it’s difficult to really compare the two.
If was forced to comp them I’d say that Clint is actually a bit worse then them because Clint is actually striving to make quality films, whereas those jackasses are pretty obviously trying to make money.
BTW, I saw Synecdoche, New York last night. Anyone else seen that thing? God what a huge, visionary, awe-inspiring, crazy, mad, psychotic, boring-as-hell mess that movie is. I really don’t even know what to think other than that next time maybe put in at least one well-developed, at least somewhat semi-likeable character to guide us through something like that, Mr. Kaufman.

And, yah, I agree. He had to know the movie was a slow-moving, unpossible-to-get-absorbed-into mess.
But that doesn’t make it any less frustrating.
Using intentionally boring your audience as an artistic tool is one of the lamest things I can think of.

No.
But I like “The Rock” better than anything Clint has ever directed, period.
And you mentioned all Bay’s bombs (and he’s had plenty… I’m no Bay apologist. I roll my eyes when I see his name on a movie poster same as you), but you fail to mention all of Clint’s suckfests.
Also it’s worth noting that Armegedon is one incredibly gay love storyline (the Liv Tyler/Ben Affleck one) away from being a great guy movie, and that Transformers was one casting decision (Shia Labuff, the most unlikable “leading man” in the last 20 years) away from being another great guy movie.
And Mystic River is a tough one. It’s a good movie, yes. But I think in the hands of any other director it becomes a great movie. Clint’s “point and shoot it straight while eschewing nuance and genuine character development at all costs” technique did that potentially great script absolutely no favors.
When you direct a movie every 9 months and have the industry clout that Clint has you’re bound to run into a script every once in a while that not even the worst director in the history of the world can totally ruin.
It’s all about context.
All movie projects were not created equal.

I suspect that if you didn't know who directed Mystic River, you'd proclaim it a great movie
Also:

No. And HELL NO.
I will concede this about Armageddon: It has Bruckheimer’s hakneyed sellout hands all over it, so perhaps Bay doesn’t deserve all the blame on that one, but it is still just Con Air or The Rock with an asteroid. Formulaic horseshit.
But Transformers, for the life of me, I can’t figure what you liked about that movie. I was visiting a friend in San Diego, and had the choice of either sitting in the living room while it was on, or going for a walk in a monsoonesque downpour. After an hour of Transformers, I opted for the swimwalk. I don’t know who you could cast to lipstick that pig.
I did see Milk and Miracle at St Anna this weekend. Loved them both, but St Anna was better. I am completely confuzzled at to why it got such mixed reviews. I thought it was easily Spike’s best. And Van Damn, what a great ensemble acting job by the Milk cast.
Have you seen either of them?

re: "My name is Sauce. I am right and Dirk is wrong."
Transformers is a childhood thing, and I’m ridiculously willing to admit that. It’s kind of like how I enjoyed the new Star Wars prequels… they’re all terrible, terrible movies, but they’re straight out my childhood! Yay, childhood memories brought to life for new adventures on the big screen!!!
I’m willing to admit it wasn’t a “good” movie. Without Labuff I think it might be a fine enough guy movie though, cause giant robots fighting and blowing shit up is always nice if you’re in the mood.
I know you spend all day in some secret underground lab doing tests on clandestine super-missiles that can vaporize a city block and whatnot so explosions on the big screen don’t do much for you, but for the rest of us non-rocket scientists the occasional big screen blow-’em-up is kinda fun.
I still think Armegedon would be fun if you could edit out the Livaffleck parts. It’s a bunch of wackos going up into space to blow up an asteroid, complete with a crazy Russian and Steve Boosh-Emmy going crazy and trying to kill everyone. That movie isn’t bad with a FF button to power though the ghey shit. (The animal cracker scene is the single gayest scene in the history of cinema… I’ve seen clips of dudes getting done by other dudes that were less gay than shit.)
Haven’t seen Milk yet. It’s at the top of my queue.
Miracle… meh. Maybe I’ll see it on your rec, but I just… I just hate Spike Lee so much. What an uber douche. I openly root for him to fail.
Oh, and you didn’t address The Rock. That movie is freaking awesome. If you don’t think that’s a great guy movie you need to vag-check yourself, pronto.
And, sorry, but I can’t address how I would’ve felt about a movie had I not known the Great Directorial Satan had his ham-hands all over it. It’s impossible for me to view his spawn without thinking of he who spawned them.
I think it was a good movie, but if you watch it shows Clint’s many, many flaws as a director and would’ve been a much better film in the hands of someone actually good at, you know, directing.

And regarding Spike, he can be pretty narcississtic,
but I think he deserves a little leeway considering the fact that virtually nobody else is efforting in the same general artistic direction. Spike yells and screams b/c he feels like nobody else is even discussing issues dear to him and his.
And there is a salient personal dirkatronian angle in all this. St Anna was essentially Spike’s eff u to your alltime whipping bugabooboy, so, consequently, you should be watching this movie w/ a foam #1 finger glove on each hand, dontcha think?

Has anyone purchased Shamwow?
Vince make such a good pitch, I just wonder if the product actually works. How do they compare to a chamois from an auto parts store?

It's a freakin shammy!
I love how they act like it’s a new invention.
I used a shammy when I was a swimmer in high school. It’s old school.

Unless I’m just late to the party, and am missing something. Has he been a punch-line around here for a while?

no, he hasn't been discussed before,
but like my post below says, I too was thinking he needed to discussed, so the high thread-count (ha ha) doesn’t surprise me.
Also, I think there were a lot of posts in and around the WBC, so he was probably on everyone’s subconscious

Not sure if anyone is going to believe this...
…doesn’t really matter, but I had the thought yesterday that I needed to post an O.T. about this guy. Great minds I guess.
Seriously, he’s a freak, an annoying freak at that, and he needed to be addressed in this community. Well done Adam.

One of you graphics guys needs to develop some sort of
rally-killing graphic to “stop the bleeding” integrating the shamwow and this guy…after the angels have a 5 run 4th and still only have 1 out and runners on first and third, it would kill any rally.

One thing we do know about Vince is that he's an ex-Scientologist.
Which makes him better than at least 50,000 other people.

One More Thing
Perhaps I have too much time on my hands….if you watch the Sham Wow commercial carefully you will see something interesting. When he is going to show how it absorbs the cola poured through the rug patch this happens: when he pours it it oozes out front under and you can clearly see the cola puddle in front of the rug patch. But then the camera comes back in another shot as he absorbs it in the Sham Wow…however, all the spilled cola around the carpet patch is gone already before he uses the Sham Wow.

He actually admitted he spilled too much cola and they had to reshoot and resplice in an interview or something.
Same rug, but yeah, he’s soaking up less than he poors.
