Happy 2009!

I'll end 2008...

with my favorite underreported moment of the election:

OldandConfused!McCain cracks me up.

for once, in non-defense of snark.

I was reading New York Magazine and they reviewed some book that speaks out against snark. They didn't have a very positive view of said book. I don't blame them; as might be assumed from my blog title, I have a very positive view of snark. That said, the review defended Television Without Pity's brand of snark, calling the viewers there exactly what TV executives want, passionate and opinionated.

Oh. Hell. No.

I used to LOVE Television Without Pity, back in like, the beginning of high school when everyone watched Survivor. They didn't cover many TV shows, but they did a great job of recapping and gently poking fun at the things that weren't so great about these TV shows. Over the years, they've gotten more expansive, with larger forums and more shows and recappers, and now Television Without Pity simply fucking sucks. Its motto is "spare the snark, spoil the networks," but it might as well be "spare the snark, leave the people who like to bitch about everything in the cold." No recapper seems to actually enjoy the show they watch; the chick that used to review Survivor from uh, Pearl Islands? on spewed hate on every single damn contestant, and the guy who did The Office in S2 treated it like it was fucking Masterpiece Theater. It's these people that piss me off when it comes to The Office; it's not The Serious Jim And Pam Talk About Their Issues Show, it's The Office. The most celebrated episode involves the boss grilling his foot, and one of the employees running into a pole and vomiting all over his car.

The forums are even worse, despite how respectable they may seem at first glance due to the good grammar and whatnot. The moderators have ridiculous rules and moderate with iron fists. Though some recappers on the site are still good, the forums do not understand the difference between "snark" and "being a humongous asshole for the sake of it." It's very rare that anything positive is said about anything. It's like if someone made a major forum about Anne Hathaway, and the only person who ever posted there was me.

So, to conclude. Snark = good; Television Without Pity = bad.

So, I really have no desire

to see Slumdog Millionaire. I will probably try to see it, just for Oscar completionism or whatever, but it just looks like one of those Inspirational Impoverished Ethnic Kid Does Good movies.

Dear Tim Gunn,

(I wish there was some better video, but sadly that's the best I could find)

Please come and assist me in my life. You don't even have to say anything, just when I am about to make a bad decision, peer down your glasses at me. It would be only an added bonus if you said, "[Justine Credible], I am concerned."

Also, if you could tell Bravo reality TV to stop being so fabulous so I'm not tempted to drop out of college and become a chef and/or fashion designer. I do not know how to do either of those things.

Love,
Justine Credible.

PS. Christian Siriano and the fat guy on this season that I'm watching, please come be my sidekicks.

I don't like Katy Perry.

I think it's the resemblance to Emily Blunt, especially in the "I Kissed A Girl" video.

Okay, that's not the best picture of Katy to prove this similarity, but seriously, watch the "I Kissed A Girl" video. I can say, with certainty, that Katy Perry is certainly more faux-lesbian (if you believe salacious gossip, Emily actually did have a lesbian relationship. With Anne Hathaway. Bad taste in women!).

readin' The Reader.

I can imagine Ralph and Kate owning it, but like... I'm sorry, this will make for one BORING movie. (Spoilers abound in this post in case you haven't read the book)

Part 1: Ralph and Kate do it. A lot. Well, more specifically, as the author says 5000000 times throughout the novel, Ralph reads to Kate, then they take a shower, and then they do it, and then they lie together randomly.

Part 2: Ralph goes to law school. Kate's on trial for bein' a Nazi. O noz! (No one saw this coming, especially seeing how the book takes place in Germany.)

Part 3: It turns out Kate... IS ILLITERATE!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, this is the big twist in the book. I was like, "...whuh?" And then she dies.

Yeah, when it comes to dealing with the Holocaust, Night or Anselm Kiefer it ain't. LAME.

Hotay.

Snarky's ANTM Stuff. Because I am going to try to put up a fairly ambitious ANTM project, but I don't want it crowding up this blog and the fact that I made a separate blog for it made me think I might not run out of steam halfway? Baby steps, people!

Haha, I seriously never saw this before.

Mike Myers is so clearly uncomfortable, even at the beginning. Kanye kind of sounds like he just ran a marathon and/or is going to burst into tears. The sudden, awkward cut is... wow.

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry

Remember, once upon a time, when I didn't think this movie was going to be that bad? I finally saw it and I... was wrong with that thought.

Oh holy crap, this is offensive!

So I sort of watched The Namesake...

and it's just funny to think, you know, hey, that's KUMAR. (And apparently he's going to be a professor at UPenn next semester. HAH.)

Have yourself a merry little Christmas.

I'll see y'all on the 26th, more or less.

HAH.

So, that shitty Bride Wars movie is going to kill Anne Hathaway's chance at an Oscar, right? I mean, it happened with Eddie Murphy. Frankly, I hope it hurts her chances of getting in at all. Scarlett Johansson gave two fantastic performances in 2003, and apparently Oscar didn't have room for her, but they had to honor Diane Keaton's shitty performance just because, you know, it's Diane Keaton. Christina Ricci turned in the best performance by an actress in 1998, and the Oscars ignored her. The second, however, Anne Hathaway puts on a half-decent performance (note: still haven't seen Rachel Getting Married), Oscar is salivating all over her? I don't think so. I doubt she'll get snubbed, but I'll laugh if she does.

Why do I dislike Anne Hathaway so much? I have no idea.

Tina Fey named Entertainer of the Year.

Here ya go.

I still find her overrated, and almost desperately so, on 30 Rock. But it's hard to argue with this decision in the wake of her GLORIOUS Saturday Night Live Palin skits. I'm sure you've seen them, but here they all are, because why not:

The one that started 'em all, and gave us the line of the year, absolutely: "I can see Russia from my house!" (I'm not crazy about Amy Poehler, but her Hillary here, and her Katie Couric in the next skit, are very underrated.)

"When cornered, you become increasingly adorable." The fact that they used Palin's actual words is a big fat middle finger to her face and I LOVE it.

Fey's Palin and Ferrell's Bush are like a dream come true together. "Both candidates are heavily patriotized and display much characterization." Screw 30 Rock, can Ferrell and Fey just have a TV show about the wacky antics of Bush and Palin?

John McCain is fucking HILARIOUS. He really needs to like, quit politics and join the cast of SNL. I love the fact that he's in a skit that openly mocks his certainly mock-worthy running mate in so many ways. Even Cindy is sort of charming here! Awww.

There is not a thing about this that is not perfect. The random Queen Latifah cameo is great, but the lampooning of EVERYTHING (Biden's passionate arguing for gay rights, but then saying he doesn't support gay marriage; Palin's inane "there you go, Joe!" insults; the fucking winking, "shout-outs," and refusal to actually answer the goddamn questions; Biden's bizarre everyman expressions and McCain love; the Scranton insulting!; the Republicans' constant need to bring up Ronald Reagan; MAVERICK!) pushes it over the top. The only problem is that I don't want to bang the guy who plays Joe Biden, but he does a pretty good job anyway. It's amazing.

oh wow, I JUST discovered the SAG noms came out a while ago...

and Cate Blanchett got snubbed again? HAH!

All I want for Christmas?

Can Jim and Pam and Holly and Michael get married?!?
Oh, and I love this commercial. :)

So, tonight, like the good liberal I am, I watched Countdown.

It was the maybe annual? Favorite People of 2008. It was great to laugh at Keith Olbermann's Sarah Palin and Saturday Night Live's political skit montage. But at the beginning, there was another montage, one about, of course, the man of the year, President-Elect Barack Obama. And, I'm sorry. Thinking about his election and everything it means - for me, this country, and its people - still makes me tear up, well over a month later. This election brought laughs, tears, and frustration, but ultimately, what it gave was, yes - hope. It's absolutely been the highlight of the year, and I may look back on it in a post soon.

God bless this country.

how did I not know this?!?!??!!?

So I've been watching Top Chef this season. I really like it; it's got a minimum of dumb reality TV drama and a maximum of DELICIOUS FOOD. My favorite contestant is Fabio, who is VERY VERY Italian. So, I'm on Bravo's website, reading all the "chieftestant's" bios, and I run across this in his:

Additionally, Fabio also works as William Shatner's private chef.

WHAT.

I mean... WHAT?!??!?!?!?!!

Now I have this mental image of Shatner "singing" "Rocket Man" with Fabio in the background exclaiming things in Italian and cooking. WTF. That's amazing.

The Office Season 5, Ranked So Far.

Above: Because it was so awesome, it bears repeating.

10. Employee Transfer
They were really nice. They gave me a ride home.

9. Business Ethics
I viewed Cookie Monster sings "Chocolate Rain" about a thousand times.

8. Frame Toby
I think you're great. You're my best friend.

7. Moroccan Christmas
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-ka-ching!

6. Baby Shower
Tell my intended about the miracle of childbirth.

5. Customer Survey
I'm going to buy one million dollars worth of paper products today.

4. Crime Aid
Probably get soup or something light.

3. Business Trip
It's totally unrealistic. There are no lines in the parking lot.

2. The Surplus
I'm not threatening you. I love you! But you should know, you're on very dangerous ground.

1. Weight Loss
You lost a ton of weight, literally a ton of weight.

And for a bonus...

BRING THESE TWO BACK!

So Liam Neeson

is like weirdly professorial-y hot in Kinsey right? I'm not just dirty-minded?

Of course, I don't need to talk about Peter Sarsgaard there. Goddamn, he's hot. He's like a sex slug (I may have made this analogy before, and I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere else, I'm not that clever); he just leaves behind a big ol' visible trail of sex wherever he goes, even despite the fact that we all now know he's not all that gifted... heh.

I've bought a ticket to the states! I'm off in three weeks!

To a magical place called... Wisconsin!

It's Christmastime, y'all, and that means it's time for some Love Actually-watching!

well, that's... disgusting.

Apparently ScarJo - who's still my girl, y'all - auctioned off a used tissue? Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Baz Luhrmann to direct The Great Gatsby?

Uh, I dunno, Baz. I mean... no one's been able to do a good movie version of it until now, what makes you so sure you can do it? Please stick to your batshit crazy musicals!

(Yes, I still need to see Australia, but judging by the attention it's getting this awards season/the reviews, maybe not so much)

this is a few days old and I'm sure you saw it...

But because he wasn't hit? IT NEVER STOPS BEING FUNNY.

Awesome.

Shut the fuck up, Sarah Palin.

(Okay, it was more applicable a few weeks ago when she'd lost the election but would.not.get.off.the.news. Seriously, lady, you do three interviews during the election and like 500000 after. But it's still a good read.)

It's hilarious...

...when a "OMG BUY MAMMA MIA!!!!!" commercial is immediately followed by a commercial for Doubt.

Do the right thing.

I'm almost sure I've posted this here before. I don't really care, because it's so awesome that it should be posted EVERYWHERE. As much as I loved Crash, it gets Crash's point across much better.

Uh, Gran Torino.

What is this movie about? Because I saw my first preview for it today and it basically looked like "OMG Clint Eastwood is racist toward the Asians!!!!!!"

Also, Academy, are you really gonna give Clint another Oscar? Really? Another?

The Spirit.

Dude, just call it Sin City 2 (since that's clearly coming out in about 2087 at the rate it's going) already.

So, Borat is really funny.

I love that Alan Keyes is in it, talkin' 'bout teh ghey. And that McCain and crazy James Carville are in Wedding Crashers.

THIS MOVIE LOOKS GREAT!!!!!

Seriously, when Clive Owen appears promiscuously shirtless in a trailer for a movie, I SHOULD BE INFORMED IMMEDIATELY.

Mickey Rourke made me cry in the trailer alone for The Wrestler, too...

Valkyrie looks so stupid.

"Hitler, Hitler, Hitler, Hitler... you're glib, Hitler."

Hey, Benjamin Button trailer!

You! Yes, you! Don't think I don't realize you're stealing the music from Love Actually!!!

I wish I could wear cute headbands and not look stupid in them.

I really do.

Golden Globe Nominee Reactions.

Other assorted notes:

- awww, True Blood got nominated for Best Television Series, Drama. My best friend and his suite gather 'round every Sunday night to watch it. It's kind of adorable. What I've seen is unfortunately really bad.
- THANK YOU for getting some sense back, Globes, and nominating The Office anew.

Et voila.

S4 ranked.

I'm pretty sure this is the way it'll stay. I'm pretty sure I did this list already, but it changed. Why am I doing this now? No idea.

14. Night Out
No, Dwight, not the good peanut butter!

4. Goodbye Toby
I am totally gonna bang Holly.

3. Dinner Party
She is! She is the devil! I'm in hell!

2. Chair Model
I am not kidding. Got it a week after we started dating.

1. Money
Oh my God. What century is this?

Hugh Jackman's hosting the Oscars?!

Rock. The hell. On!

(He'd better sing & dance.)

Updates soon:

1. Globes!
2. Joe the Biden got a puppy!!!!
3. Christmas episode! Which was apparently "weird" and "not warm and fuzzy" and therefore horrible! (coughitdidnthavealotofJAMinitcough)

Hey, governors!

Spitzer, Palin, Blagodviiiiiijjjjjjjjjjj... is there anyone left that isn't corrupt?

(Brian Schweitzer!)

(Oh, right-wingers, shut up about how it's ALL OBAMA'S FAULT OMG SO CORRUPT. This Blago guy referred to Obama as a "motherfucker" because Obama wasn't going to bribe him to get his preferred candidate for his abandoned Senate seat. And, more than likely, it was Obama's Jew dreamboat Chief of Staff [I'll fuck you! I'll kill you! I love you k bye.] who busted Blago. Game, set, match.)

SNL. Stop not sucking.

Seriously, you're really funny nowadays. You need to stop that, it's freaking me out.

2016.

Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer. LOVE.

Seriously, he showed he could positively ignite a crowd at this year's DNC - just like Obama did in 2004. He's massively popular, with approval ratings in the high 70s, doing awesome things for his state, and his popularity is turning Montana bluer (McCain won the state, but by a smaller margin than Obama won Ohio or Florida). He is actively bipartisan; his lieutenant governor is a Republican. And, I would especially enjoy Republicans' heads exploding over how a Democrat could out-folksy them. Seriously, this guy appears to bring his (adorable!!!!!!!) dog to every meeting, campaign stop, and press conference. From everything I've seen, I can declare: He's so awesome. Schweitzer 2016!

so, three posts.

1. talking about how much The Office tonight was amazing
2. finishing that top 100 ANTM girls list
3. my choice for the Democratic candidate in 2016 after 8 awesome years of Obama.

So. #1. THE OFFICE TONIGHT WAS AMAZING. That is all for now, until I rewatch and give a full explanation. Easily top 20, almost top 10, episode ever. I am STILL laughing at Michael in a fur coat.

but one more quick post:

Prop 8: THE MUSICAL.

See more Jack Black videos at Funny or Die

okay, guys.

I'm really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really busy. I think I'm closin' up shop 'til the 14th or so, when I'll be back with a vengeance. I'll probably post extremely sporadically, or if something AMAZING happens IE it turns out Anne Hathaway was involved in her ex-boyfriend's crimes and she goes to jail FOREVER.

See y'all in a few weeks! (why was this so folksy?)

So now I'm back, from outer space

...or the land of food poisoning and thesis writing.

my new favorite food:

The geoduck!!!

a. It's not a duck. At all. It's a clam.
b. It's pronounced "GOOEY DUCK." TEEHEE!!!
c. PHALLUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi, I'm 7.

There's something in the water in Scranton...

That Jim/Pam moment? Um. Wow.

so I watched the Top Chef marathon on Bravo today...

a. food is DELICIOUS. (seriously, it is a good thing I have great genes, because otherwise I would be a whale. I eat like a vacuum and go to the gym like once a week for half an hour. Yeah. My parents always like to laugh at how I'm hungry about 98% of the time.)
b. Rocco DiSpirito is CUUUUUUTE. Yummy. (Hah!)

oh, wow.

The extended version of The 40-Year-Old Virgin is on USA right now. It is somehow even more painfully unfunny.

Movies!

No, really!

Crossing Over: Never heard of it. I agree with what they wrote, except that with the LA and immigration (IE, race) thing, it sounds way more like Crash than Babel.

Cadillac Records: Whoah, this is coming out this year?!? This is what happens when you don't read movie blogs for like three months. I predict it'll probably go the same way as Dreamgirls...

Frost/Nixon: I'm still waiting for Couric/Palin.

War Zone: Wha?

The Reader: Oh, so this is '08 after all. Kate Winslet owns.

Che: This is '08 too? It's either going to rock, or suck really hard.

The Day The Earth Stood Still: I don't see the need for this.

Doubt: Movies based on plays are very hit and miss especially with relatively inexperienced directors, but with Meryl, Jesus, and PSH, I'm there. Eventually.

Nothing Like the Holidays: Sounds... dumb.

The Wrestler: I thought this was like, 2045 or something, not 2008. Anyway, Darren Aronofsky can do no wrong... unless he goes pretentious.

Gran Torino: Did Changeling or The Changeling or whatever already come out? Is Eastwood pulling a Flags/Iwo Jima thing again, where after his first movie bombs critically, he releases the second one because he "always planned to do that" or whatever?

The Brothers Bloom: This looks hilarious and I wanna see Rachel gettin' funny.

Seven Pounds: Will Smith's usual holiday fluff. I mean that in the best possible way, as the movies are usually extremely enjoyable.

Yes Man: Crappy-looking. And yes, it looks just like Liar Liar, except that instead of always telling the truth, he always has to say "yes." Or some stupid shit like that.

The Tale of Despereaux: This looks cute, and it's got some really great actors playing the voice roles.

Nothing But the Truth: Meh.

Bedtime Stories: Double meh.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: That's a stunning promo picture/still/whatever it's called. Are there any advance reviews of this movie? Great? Sucky? It's Fincher so I'll be there, but it's Blanchett so I won't be all that thrilled about it.

Marley and Me: This one's getting a lot of hype from the media. I don't get it. I do like dogs and think they are adorable, however.

The Spirit: Too much Sin City redux, down to the hodgepodge yet still bizarrely awesome cast.

Revolutionary Road: I'M SO THERE. This is the one movie I am totally determined to see this holiday season. I worry the super late release date will doom it in awards season, but... it's Kate and Leo. It should get attention. Right?

Valkyrie: My friend and I saw a commercial for this one and couldn't stop laughing. NEXT.

Defiance: It could be really great, but... it's Edward Zwick. Ew, semi-colon not so much.


Anne Hathaway's going to get a fucking Oscar nomination this year, isn't she? Shit.

Ugh, EW

#11 Sexiest Movie Ever? Really? It's like, cute and it has good songs, but sexy? NOOOOO.

(At least, considering the source, it's not a Judd Apatow movie)

ahmaaaahhhgah. (or, my spoken version of "OMG.")

So I randomly went over to Survivor Sucks, and who's posting over on the bizarrely still-intact Mole board? That's right. SAINT MARK. I actually want to register just to post "OMG YOU'RE AMAAAAAAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!" or something similarly crazy.

Also, he's apparently teaching seven classes and coaching three soccer teams. How very Markish of him. LOVE!

i art busy =/

She's *my* ANTM.

Love.

GROSS.

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are apparently dating. Yes, it's Star, BUT.

GROSS. John can do so much better. Rashida owns Emily. And Emily apparently only likes guys whose souls are controlled by NBC.

uhhhhh

From NBC's two-minute recap thing or whatever. Okay, seems normal, right? Uh, look at the names of the two people there.

Maybe all the shaggy hair confused them? I don't know.

My 100 Favorite ANTM Models, 100-76.

Subject to change. Yes, I know there are some duplicate names in here... so click the names to see what girl it is ;) I tried to make this list about their on-show portfolio only, not their personalities (though of course I can't help but have that factor in) or post-show work.

The Office tonight? Of course, I loved it. And want some caprese salad now. More later. No, really.

Our first family-elect:

BADASS/ADORABLE!!!!

Pink, when angry, is awesome.

(Embedding doesn't work.)

U + UR Hand
So What

Well.

THAT SUCKED.

More later. Good thing I read the spoiler, though, or I think I might actually have gotten close to tears at the F3 elimination.

in shitty spoiler news, however...

...GAH. The most reliable spoiler-person of ANTM said Analeigh's 3rd place. ;_; Boo, spoiler mill! Boo!

We're all having A Moroccan Christmas.

And I can't wait. :D

Okay, I'll admit it.

Toby, I missed you, ya big creeper!!!

so I actually WATCHED the ANTM from Wednesday...

Analeigh is a saint. Sweet Jesus. McKey and Sam are really commendable too. I'm in college. People drink a lot. Here, though, they tend not to take care of or look out for each other. I really, really admired these three for what they did for Marjorie. It was awesome of them.

I like Sam a lot now too, I gotta say. She's gone from bratty and immature to... well, still immature, but weirdly endearing about it.

Four Christmases

So, this trailer is all over TV here. It looks laaaaaaaaaaaaaaame. And wasn't this the movie where Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn constantly wanted to tear the other's throat out? That's kind of awesome actually...

I'll stop the world and melt with you.

Oh, thank God!

More tomorrow. ...or whenever I get around to it.

America's Next Top Model, 11/12

All of these were very good to still quite good.

1. Analeigh
This is stunning. It's like Saleisha's Great Wall picture, only it works like 20 times better. For one thing, I liked Saleisha's pose there, but her face looked ass. Analeigh's face is totally fierce and strong. The position of her legs and arms are inspired by the windmill, too. Awesome.

2. Marjorie
I love this, too. It would be best of the week if her face wasn't so draggish and manly. The pose is extremely editorial, if not so much ANTM. Still, it was her time to go; if you can't book a job, it doesn't matter how stunning your portfolio is.

3. Samantha
The face isn't really working for me and I feel like we've seen it a lot of times. The pose, however, I like.

4. McKey
I'll be honest: I HAAAATE the face. She looks like a ghoul. The pose is still quite good.

OMG, finale next week?! WIN THIS THING ANALEIGH!

Goodbye Ryan, it's been nice.

Ferrealz?

(I bet this ends up not being permanent - just like Toby leaving. He's apparently back this/next week BTW. I hope his crush on Pam is less creepy. And are they gonna take Ryan out of the credits?)

Barney was framed!

C'mon, that reporter goes RIGHT at him. :( (I always love the presidential pets. OBAMAPUPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

This Fucking Election.

And... exhale.

dude, Make Me A Supermodel

... it's like a ludicrously boring America's Next Top Model only with dudes and actual talent.

And this: ... mmmm. The bottom needs to ditch the hair though.

(I'm pretty sure those two are straight to boot. I doubt I'll watch, because as I said earlier - ludicrously boring. But the photos rock)

It's time to make it hot; cycles 8, 9, 10

WORK, Whitney ~

one last time, remember call-outs are based on the photo alone. For example, I may have "eliminated" Jaslene for her terrible four personalities picture, but I likely would have kept her around in the real show based on her incredibly strong portfolio apart from that one fluke awful shot, especially if a contestant as sucky as Sarah was in the B2 with her.

OH MY GOD IT HURT TO PUT A STRIKE THROUGH ANYA'S NAME. I would have eliminated Fatima, for the overall weakest portfolio of the three. Also, I love how everyone's all over Whitney for making it to the final three with four times in the B2, but nobody gets on Fatima's case. Oh, wait, I forgot, Whitney's "fat." Don't care, still love that ho.

You wanna be on top? Cycles 4-7

Again, call-out based entirely on the photos and not past portfolio (for instance, when I was down to, say, the final five, I doubt I'd eliminate based on photos alone, unless someone had a TRULY ATROCIOUS shot) or weekly behavior or challenge win or whatever.
