i am going to use the word "jejune" in an indieworkshop review shortly

[xfer]

and i feel like maybe i'm being a little unfair, and simply thinking the CD is jejune because i wanted to use the word and seem intelligent. like when a movie is called THE EVIL SHARK and reviewers fall all over themselves to make headlines like THE EVIL SHARK BITES.

"Gone in Sixty Seconds" was a great candidate as well. "Any thought I had that this might be entertaining was 'GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS!'"

 

[xfer]

"If the American public had any taste, this film would be GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS from the theatres!"

 

[FalseTodd]

"The video sales numbers for this clunker will be GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS!"

 

[xfer]

so you see my possible bias here.

 

[FuSoYa]

"The main characters steal this car and drive AWAY IN SIXTY SECONDS!"

 

[xfer]

'THE EVIL SHARK' SUCKS!

When the EVIL SHARK BITES, you will be GONE IN 60 SECONDS.

totally unrelated to any sort of reviewer comment, but it works. so pitchfork would do it, right?

when I worked in a newsroom all the reporters used to have long brainstorming sessions to see who could come up with the most 'clever' puns for headlines.

[VangelicSurgeon]

[Stultus]

....but is it jejune as in banal, or jejune as in puerile?

 

[minxnim]

[xfer]

[deadair]

[minxnim]

well, anyway, i'd like to get technical for a second: there's a BIG difference between being grossed out, and having a bonified fucking phobia.
