Wells to Sobchak: The leg shot -- a completely routine visual sighting at any hot bar in any city the world over -- was taken by a female cinematographer friend who was sitting next to me at the Jones bar. If Helmut Newton takes it, it's a coffee-table book shot, perhaps worthy of a blow-up in an art gallery, but if it appears in HE I'm a sleaze for running it....is that it? What are you, a semi-retired 68 year-old Presbyterian minister from a Sinclair Lewis novel?
I'll tell you again (and anyone who happens to be reading who thinks like you and occasionally posts a comment) -- any HE reader who uses any yaw-haw personal put-down adjectives applied to yours truly will be shown the door and permanently expelled. It's a difficult concept, I realize, for some of you, but imagine you're a guest at a party in my home. Just as you'd probably avoid insulting me or describing some aspect of my personality or biology in some sneering negative way to my face, I'm strongly advising you to adhere to the same standard here, or, like a boorish drunk at a party, you will be heave-ho'ed. Got it?

I thought Sobchak's comment was kinda funny, actually. I thought the picture was a little weird, too. Although I understand your point about the coffee table book, Jeff, at least there you'd be expecting it. Logging onto a movie-related blog and seeing a random picture of some chick's ugly feet is a little disconcerting - especially considering your peculiar fixation on feet in general.
Wells's comment about coffee table books misses the key aspect of context. Everyone knows this is not a Helmut Newton gallery. What might work in such a space takes on an entirely different meaning in the context of this website.
However, his point about boorish behavior is entirely appropriate. SO LONG AS he responsibly draws the line between boorish behavior and web-appropriate snark. Bloggers should expect a certain amount of ribbing.
I didn't think Sobchak was necessarily criticizing Jeff (except for perhaps the "creepy" adjective). He was just trying (you can judge how successfully) to place a humorous caption with the picture.
Jesus Hoffsburough Christ the Third, Jeffrey.... I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I promise that the next time you post a photo taken at a bar of some skank's legs I won't say anything that might upset you.
I mean really. Was what I said THAT bad?

How ironic that they keep the bottles of Jack behind a locked cage, when it was Jack Daniels that got me behind the wrong end of a locked cage.
Oh, and be careful with the shots of feet, Wells. We don't want Tarantino comin round here.

People acting like assholes to Jeff is now the number-one most annoying thing that happens on this site. Fucking enough of it.
And that leg photo is nothing compared to the shots that grace the men's room wall at Jones. Which are mostly awesome.
