Help Wanted (Again)

helpwanted13.jpg

Earlier this week, Scaramouch asked for and received quick and expert help correcting an HTML issue. I'm going back to the well, hoping another reader can lend me his or her expertise.

What I want to do is capture an HD still image from a program I'm watching on an HDTV. A simple screenshot. Is there a way to receive the HD signal on my computer? If there is, will the quality be comparable to what I'm seeing on the TV? If I had a DVD recorder, I could record a show and play it back in my computer. But I'm not sure what kind of quality I'd be getting there, either.

For reference, I'd be happy with this level of resolution. (Might not even be HD, but it's good enough.)

Any folks living in HD care to help me out? (If you can easily do this and want to prove it by emailing me any HD screenshot, send away.)

Another noob

Baby
Meet another new member of the YBNBY team, baby Scaramouch (or maybe we need another name, seeing as it's a girl) That last yawn is clearly an indictment on our recent postings. Expect out-of-womb shots within 9 weeks.

When You Care Enough...

some_cards327.jpg

Sometimes there's just no way to tell someone you're happy they don't have Cancer. Personally, I have a hard time discussing my company's masturbation policies. And "this guy I know" couldn't properly express to his girlfriend how happy he was she went on the pill. Luckily, someecards have taken care of all that.

All Ogre Again

"Shrek the Third" *** (out of four): The domestication of the Ogre continues unabated in this third - and possibly last - installment of the increasingly-sanitized animated franchise.

shrek3.jpg

Time was, an ogre would spend his days in a swamp, wallowing in his own filth and surrounded by all manner of creepy-crawlies. Nowadays, in “Shrek the Third”, you can find Dreamworks’ beloved animated creation nestled snuggly in a comfy bed with his new bride beside him. That’s bound to change an ogre. Indeed, all this time spent in the kingdom of Far Far Away has noticeably mellowed the big green guy. He’s like Ice Cube in the “Are We There Yet?” movies. Ol’ Shrek even seems to have lost his accent. He sounds less Scottish and more like, well, Mike Myers. He even looks less like an ogre and more, dare I say it, Schwarzeneggerian. I swear I even spotted him wearing make-up. The bottom line is, this third - and possibly last non-direct-to-DVD - installment of the once edgy animated franchise isn’t your grandfather’s ogre – or even your grandnephew’s. But it’s still good for a laugh.

Silent Movies from A Galaxy Far Far Away

Every week I look forward to receiving the b3ta newsletter. This week, Spartacus_mill made a Star Wars video in silent movie style, entitled Droid Soup. At first I thought I’d seen it before, but no, this one is new (and quite good). But its not the first. There are quite a few creative minds reformulating Star Wars in the silent, black and white style. I found a few of them. And I like to share.

Where are they now? Bambi Woods, star of Debbie Does Dallas - revealed!

200705172123
Debbie Does Dallas. It's one of the top five grossing porn films of all time, and probably one of the most well known movies titles in any genre. Released hot on the heels of Deep Throat and The Devil in Miss Jones, it blazed a trail that took it into pop culture legend, and has made it's distributors hundreds of millions of dollars in profit. It's spawned sequels, homages, remakes, documentaries, and even an off-broadway musical. It's also the subject of one of the most popular YesButNoButYes stories of all time - Where are they now - Debbie Does Dallas. And it's made Bambi Woods, the titular actress with the blonde hair and the girl-next-door looks into one of the most famous porn stars ever. And probably it's most enigmatic.

Because it's one of the great mysteries of the adult movie industry - whatever happened to Bambi Woods, who is said to have mysteriously disappeared soon after the movie was made? During the making of the 2005 documentary Debbie Does Dallas Uncovered, a team from Britain's Channel Four interviewed as many cast members as they could find, checked police records - even hired a private investigator - all in an attempt to track down the woman who played Debbie. And failed. Pretty miserably.

Since then, the true story of Bambi has gone untold. Dark rumors surround her fate - her Wikipedia entry says she may have died from a drug overdose in 1986, or during the making of a "Debbie" sequel, or that she even retired into obscurity, saved from a life of porn by her parents.

But nobody has ever told the real story.

Until now.

Beginning Monday, YesButNoButYes.com is proud to present a world exclusive - a full interview with the actress who played Debbie herself, Bambi Woods. She talks to me about her early life, the making of the movie and it's sequel, of the late 70s drug scene in New York, of celebrity boyfriends and swingers' clubs, and tells us exactly what she's been up to for the last 20 years. And believe it or not, there's a happy ending.

It's the story we've waited two years to write. And it's only here, at YesButNoButYes.com - getting closer to being the best pop culture blog on the planet with every story. Tell all your friends.

Some Things I Hate About Working - A Partial List: Chapter 3

Ill-defined Job Titles

What in the hell do half of the people you work with actually do? I mean what does the Account Coordinator actually coordinate? What exactly does the Chief Operations Officer operate? And what in gods name does a Senior Vice President preside over?

- Hillary needs your help. Does she go with the cover of the Monkey's tune...or the Jesus Jones hit.
- In one of the funniest (and gayest) bits to ever appear on Conan, three guys compare belly buttons
- Christopher Hitchens basicaly pees all over Jerry Falwell's coffin. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
- Hundreds turn out for a Bloomberg gun giveaway in the home state of Virginia Tech...priceless.
- And Bob Barker's finally leaving, after nearly four hundred years on tv. But first...these thoughts.

404 Error

Whoops! We're not sure if it was your fault or ours (probably yours, we're good that way) but you've encountered a FATAL ERROR!!! Or at least, a pretty grumpy one.

Specifically the Latvians who run our server are telling us in a weird accent "Smarty error: [in evaluated template line 5]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'mtfeed' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580), Comrade!". Ain't life a bitch.

If you want to vent, email our slacker of a webmaster. Otherwise, we'd suggest going back, using search, or clicking around aimlessly on this page like a moron.

Have fun.
