HAHAHAHAH

This reminds me of the skit in I think it was United Citizens Brigade where they discuss Meryl Streep and "titular and title lines" of movies, for no real reason other than that they both involve Meryl Streep and are both darn funny.

oh, and I saw two 2009 movies!

I Love You, Man and The September Issue.

I Love You, Man was kind of crap. It started out really funny, but after a while, it just... stopped. I didn't really like any of the characters and I like Rashida Jones, but something about her is just off in comedies. She's not OMG SATAN'S HOOOOOOOORRRRR like many Office fans would have you think, but she just doesn't do well in ridiculous comedies. She was better on The Office because it was a lot less stupid (and probably, the directing was better). I totally lost interest in the movie like... halfway through. Zzzz.

The September Issue was fine. Either you're gonna see it and like it, or you're not gonna bother. It's that kind of movie. Even if it had been a horrible movie, it was extremely short, so it would have been relatively painless. It was interesting to see the workings behind Vogue and I felt all fashion knowledgeable when I recognized almost all of the models they were shooting.

I finally read Watchmen

Wow.

I was expecting to find it tedious and confusing. Instead, it really was an amazing read, and there is so much to it. I have the feeling I'm gonna go back later today to reread it.

The movie's coming from Netflix. I'll have to see how it is.

Kendra

So I definitely can stand this show, which is kind of disturbing. Heck, sometimes it's even enjoyable. Sure, between her and her fiance, there ain't a quarter of a brain. But they're honestly really cute and sweet to each other. I'm being genuine: I totally hope those two crazy (dumb) kids make it.

ETA: So this entry was really crappily written.

I said something like, "C'mon, Tex, don't you wanna get to 32 home runs soon?" and then BAM. Literally next pitch. 3-run home run. I rule (and so does Mark).

:D



I'm gettin' really excited y'all. :D

But... whoah... are Jim and Pam gonna tell Michael about Pam's pregnancy this early? Like, before Pam's parents know (Jenna's said multiple times that Pam's trying to keep the pregnancy a secret from her parents)? Eek!

Project Runway S6, E2.

Althea: It's a beautiful dress. It's so elegant, and the detailing obviously plays a huge part in making it even more so. That said, while I had no problems with it being in the top group, those cups are really low. Forgive me if I sound prudish or ignorant, but I can't imagine pregnant women wanting to wear something THAT low-cut. It could be easily fixed, though.

Carol Hannah: IIRC she was like "ZOMG I LOVE MY JACKET!" when it was, in fact, awful. Seriously, it looks really cheap. I really dislike that one slash of fabric under the belly... it just seems unnecessary and awkward. And the dress seems just a tad too short. That said, it's a gorgeous color and I do like it overall, even if this paragraph hasn't really given this impression haha.

Christopher: Another hit for Christopher, plus his model is really adorable. It's a little too casual, but it's not... like... slutty. I can see young moms wearing this. Heck, I'd wear this. It's cute, it seems comfortable (leggings are amazing IDC what anyone else says). The only problem is that when you're pregnant, I'm pretty sure your boobs get huge, and this doesn't seem to have a lot of room for the boobs, but who knows, maybe the rouching (spelling?) up top would expand to create more room.

Epperson: OMG. This is terrible. Jumpsuits aren't the most comfortable things in the world, and I can't imagine some pregnant lady would want to squeeze herself into one. With the horrible blousy top thing, the woman just looks obese, not pregnant. It's a really blah color too, and the two shades actually clash in a weird way. Bad.

Gordana: Eh... it's like Christopher's - only a really young, hip mom-to-be would wear this - but it's not half as cute. The top just looks really cheap and I think it doesn't come down to a flattering level or whatever, again, unlike Christopher's.

Irina: It's cute, but it's the same neckline as last week's, though it's not nearly as DIVINE as that. For a pregnancy outfit, I'd think it would need way more... support in those little strips of fabric covering the boobs. The random flowers are lame and out of place. But it's still a cute dress and it seems to be a good length.

Johnny: It's pretty good. I get a busy city mom-type vibe from it. I like the fabric and I'm a sucker for contrast trim, but the color says "winter" while the flowers say "spring." It's a good length and cut for a pregnant woman, without being dowdy. I am iffy on the bag and accessories, and in this picture, the hem looks ragged. That's not good. But I like it overall.

Logan: Obviously, it's very basic to the point of being boring, but I think it's cute. It looks comfortable. Anyone could wear this.

Louise: I know this was in the top group, but I thought this was more or less hideous. It's wayyy too short, and even with the "expandable layers" on the bottom, those are mostly made of lace, so... I think the flowers and lace look messy, it's a weird color, and it's really unflattering in the chest area. Also, I get the feeling Louise would make this dress no matter what the challenge was. We'll have to see from her... though I will say it looks comfortable, like something you'd throw on to go to sleep.

Malvin: LOL. All I'm gonna say is LOL. I thought Mitchell's outfit was poorly made, but Malvin had the far worse outfit. Oh my God, this is so bad.

Mitchell: Like I said, it was poorly made, but I thought it was a good idea. Hell yes, I'd wear this outfit. It's really cute. It's perfectly accessorized too (though the colors of the bag are weird). I love that top even though it's way too tight, and the wide-leg shorts seem like a good idea.

Nicolas: IMO, this needed to be in the bottom. It's an ugly color, it's poorly sewn, and IIRC, as Nicolas himself pointed out, it kept riding up when it was already far too short. Heck, I'm not sure I would wear a skirt that short and tight right now, and I'm a pretty skinny non-pregnant lady. Yeesh.

Qristyl: It's a really basic design, but it works. I'm not crazy about the three-ties-at-the-neck thing or the scrunched-up side, and the colors aren't right for the model's skin, but it's really pretty other than that and it's definitely sexy, while not being too short or skanky.

Ra'mon: I don't know why this was in the bottom. It's not great, but it's not terrible. The sewing is kind of eh - you can see the puckering along the seams - but I love the colorblocking and I thought the "arrows" were super witty at best (think Laura Bennett, whose jock everyone is on all the time) and completely inoffensive at worst. It's a great length, cute and kind of sexy but not overly short. It does need more room in the boobs though.

Shirin: THIS. IS. FLAWLESS. It's one of my favorite Project Runway designs ever, to be honest. The only issue is that the dress is slightly similar to last week's, but... is that even a major issue unless she continues it the rest of the season? I LOVE THIS. I would buy and wear it now. Wow. It's a gorgeous color, the jacket is really cute and fun, it's adorable and subtly sexy, and the detailing on the dress is great.

BOOOOOO

BOOOOOOO!!!!! And I found out about this in a cab in NYC, of all places.

Well, congrats to them. Man, I don't even wanna check out some of the Office boards I read... though this is pretty hysterical.

They're on a boat.

Awwww...

Project Runway last night

So I've never been pregnant, but I'm pretty sure if I ever was, I would never wear like 80% of those dresses. Most of them were all way, way, WAY too short or tight or too exposed in the boob area. That said, the winner's dress was GLORIOUS.

More later.

ANTM C13 preview & other thoughts



Amber is a NUTCASE. Like... wowwwww. I think she may be genuinely mentally unstable, oh dear. USED to be a crazy girl?! Though she does look taller than whatever her height is (she's gotta be 5'7" or shorter).

Hahaha @ the cheap makeover demonstrating thing. Brittany looks good if older, Erin looks terrible but she gets a pretty good photo out of it, that look does not work for Sundai but I'm glad they got rid of her horrendous hair in the promo shot.

Also, the individual interviews with the girls are out. So here they are, and my thoughts on these hos!

Ashley: Aw. I like her. She's cute, and she doesn't look old here like she does in the photos of her that I've seen. That's good! And that's about all I can say because she seems so boring. Oh, and NEW YORK RIOT AUDITION!!!!!

Bianca: A comment you will see over and over... what is up with these outfits? They're really hideously unflattering, and this one in particular is just bad for her boobs. Anyway, I think she's beautiful and regal and I like that she seems tough. I just need more proof that she can photograph well. I CAN'T RIDE A BIKE EITHER, HOLLA. And I loooove that little edge in "competitiveness" there, hah!

Brittany: Well SOMEONE likes talking about math and craziness. I do think she's cute, and really pretty.

Courtney: SO GENERIC, and she looks really thick here. Her voice is not what I was expecting at all, though. I was definitely expecting... well... Analeigh. Hah. She seems super tough, which I like. And damn, she broke her leg and still made it into the competition! That's devotion. To ANTM, sure, but whatever.

Erin: I am losing my original HARDCORE love for her because a few photos of her have come out and they can't even somewhat compare to her AMAZING promo shot. She looks very generic in them. That said, I still like her. I love that she is a dork who admits to playing Pokemon! And she has a cute... accent or something like that.

Jennifer: SHE LOVES MUSICAL THEATER YAAAYYY! I love how cute and enthusiastic she is. She’s also really beautiful. She reminds me a lot of Fo, so I don’t know how much of a model she will be, but she’s extremely pretty. Also, she was at the CRAZY STAMPEDE TRYOUT!!!! Oh wow. I just got to the end of her interview and… “I poop a lot.” I definitely love her now, just for freakin’ admitting that. On video. Where many, many people will see it.

Kara: HI I YELL A LOT. Along with Courtney, another person with a voice I really didn’t expect. I love that she’s dorky enough to admit she bought a plane ticket in order to try out for ANTM. Also, what an… unflattering outfit, though she does look a thousand times better than she did in her individual promo shot.

Laura: Oh, I am going to reveal what an ~East Coast Elite~ I am with this statement, but her accent might get annoying. Also, can she talk about anything but castrating bulls? Still, the fact that she was working in New York and Chicago makes me think she’s one tough cookie and I still love her look to death.

Lisa: Another unflattering outfit. I still like her, I think she’s so beautiful, but I’m pretty sure she’s a boring-ass early out. They interviewed her for like twenty seconds!

Lulu: Hah! Another one from the crazy model stampede! I love this so much. I hope they reference it like 400 times. I love how tiny she is, and I like her alien-esque face, but she seems to have awful teeth.

Nicole: She almost looks like an alien or something. Like, her head looks much bigger than it should be on her body, haha. She’s definitely a chameleon. The only problem with her many different looks is/are, 90% of the time she looks really busted. Personality-wise, she seems sweet and quiet.

Rachel: I love her more by like, the day, haha. She holds herself kind of weirdly which might hurt her in photoshoots, but I still love her look. Also, damn, that was a short-ass interview. She must be boring LOL.

Rae: These outfits keep making me laugh. Like, damn, they are the worst outfits ever and she looks so dumpy in it. She seems well-spoken but boring.

Sundai: She is ADORABLE! I kind of love her now. She’s still way too short with bad hair (and they had a preview of the makeovers on another site, and she gets RIHANNA HAIR, which looks TERRIBLE on her) and that promo shot was terrible, so maybe not totally love, but she’s really cute and funny and seems friendly. I love that she called some of the other girls “dull.” ROFL work Sundai.

Aaaand that's all she wrote.

Ugh

Every time that trailer for Fame airs and I hear "The talent agent found me on YOUTUBE!" or whatever the line is, I die a little inside.

HELL YES.



Goddamn this looks funny. I'm so excited.

Also, NEW ANTM STUFF CAME OUT TODAY! I'll post it later.

My bb Tom speaks very eloquently on this week's Top Chef

He summed up pretty much everything I thought about the whole wedding thing very well here. ILhim to bits.

Wednesday, August 26, 2009

Hmmm.

When I was 10 or 11 or so, I owned, and repeatedly listened to, Tori Amos' From the Choirgirl Hotel. Somehow, I doubt I knew anything that album was about. WTF?! I was a weird kid.

I was sort of right!

Voila. I was out, but I caught a re-run so yays.

That guy who was a douche was still a douche, but kind of a charming douche this week. Not to be all un-PC, but I would have never guessed those two girls would be gay!

I'm glad that one woman left. She just seemed irritating and reminded me of Ariane. I do not like Ariane. >:( Plus, she screwed up shrimp. Twice. I love shrimp. How dare you, random lady!

I like Hector, and I understand him frying that steak last week because he is not kidding when he says Hispanic people fry like 90% of their food, but how do you even make tofu ceviche? That just sounds weird... and definitely unappetizing.

Along those lines... what the eff is a guacamole macaroon? Isn't a macaroon like... a cookie... made out of coconut and shortbread? That just seems so weird to say it's a cookie. Still, the brothers are cute. Like, really cute.

Jen is still one tough broad, and I say that in the best way.

I really like... I think his name is Kevin. The really chubby redheaded guy with the big beard who won the challenge last episode. He looks just like Conan O'Brien too.

Tom Colicchio was cra-a-a-a-anky tonight. And I love 'im like that!

Top Chef predictions for tonight.

- Jen wins another High-Stakes Quickfire.
- The boys win the elimination challenge. That one guy who is a douche acts like a douche about it. If there's an individual winner, it will be one of the brothers.
- The irritating woman with the blonde hair and the weird accent who almost went home last week with that shrimp/scallop dish goes home.

Project Runway: Season 6, Episode 1.

So, the Lifetime website is weird for me. On "Rate the Runway" I can only see one outfit. That said, if you go to the individual designers' pages and look at their portfolios, then "on the runway" or whatever, you can see the photos of the dresses on the runway.

Christopher: He was the winner and though I preferred a few others, I can't really argue with the judges' choice. It was a great dress and I would wear it in a hot second, not to mention it was extremely on-trend. You could see many, many, many people wearing it at the MTV Music Awards, which it was "designed" for. I did kind of agree with the judges that the soft material looked kind of dingy and dirty... maybe he should have gone for a light rose pink or something. Other than that, though, great.

Johnny: Most people are saying this didn't deserve to be top three, and I'm not sure if I agree with that. It was very much my taste (though I'd never wear it, because... where would I wear this dress to?!). It was an extremely flattering dress in a great color that moved beautifully. I didn't think the judges' ideas of changing the color or removing the trim worked, either. I loved it the way it was.

Louise: I can tell, based on nothing, that she will probably annoy me. Anyway, this dress is pretty good. It's in a great fabric and it's a great and flattering cut, but those saddlebags or whatever, combined with the fabric and color, make it look really weighty. If the dress had been... IDK... white cotton, without the saddlebags, and had the flowers in a different color (though just one color), it would have been among my favorites.

Irina: She had my favorite dress by MILES. I don't know why this wasn't top three. Divine doesn't even begin to describe it. It was gorgeous, it moved so beautifully, it was perfectly made, as is - with no changes - it would have rocked the Oscar red carpet better than Ra'mon's (which I liked too, but we'll get to that), and it looked SO MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE than $200. Just gorgeous. I even liked the lame little ribbon, because it provided some much-needed contrast. I loved this dress!

Ari: Soooo glad she left. This outfit is a joke. It doesn't fit the challenge and it's really poorly made. That's about it.

Nicolas: I like this dress. Much like Christopher's, it would be absolutely perfect for the Video Music Awards, if not the Oscars. Also like Christopher's, it's basic with some interesting touches. And I like that his model's name is "Matar" because that's "to kill" in Spanish so she is probably a badass.

Mitchell: His name is Mitchell Hall. He looks like Michael C. Hall. I am really tempted to call him Dexter. Anyway, other than the fact that OMG HIS MODEL WAS KIND OF NAKED, this design was kind of... I don't know how to say it, exactly, but it had an edge. He deserved to be in the bottom, but I am glad he stayed, especially because I was pretty sure he was gonna be the one to go.

Shirin: I liked this dress. It wasn't top three worthy, but it was certainly cute. I loved the little... sleeve/hoodie trick or whatever it was. That said, looking at photos of it, it looks kind of cheap and I don't like the hem. But it's still cute.

Gordana: Another favorite dress. It struck me as really girly and pretty. I LOVED that structured thing at the bosom, though you need like zero boobage to wear that thing. Also, the color could have been a little bit... improved. It looked almost like a dirty blue. That said, I still really liked it. It's just a sweet dress.

Carol Hannah: This was extremely ugly and overdone. That's... about all I have to say.

Ra'mon: I really liked this dress. It had a real elegance. I agree that the color was safe, but it had enough interesting touches so that it didn't have to be some crazy color. Also, was the train just a big honking SQUARE of fabric? That's a no-no. But it was still a beautiful dress, and the details were impeccably made. I do think Irina's would have been the best dress to appear on a red carpet as is, but this dress was beautiful and appropriate too.

Logan: Ugly. Uuuuugly. It looks really cheap and wrinkly. The colors are dull, and there aren't enough details to make the dress interesting otherwise. I'm not sure I would have put him in the bottom three, but he would have been close. And I don't like the way his model was styled.

Malvin: He seems really pretentious and I didn't like his dress. It was both dull and overwrought.

Qristyl: She seems really awesome, to be honest, but her dress was not. I can see it being worn on the Emmys red carpet, but it was tacky, tacky, tacky. It was just so loud and shiny. I loved Lindsay Lohan's "uh, no" face when Qristyl said she had designed the dress with her in mind. That said, Michael Kors was practically having a conniption over the dress, when it really wasn't that bad. Not a strong entry, but I thought others were worse (the bottom two and LOGAN'S).

Epperson: I ADORED the top half... and ABHORRED the bottom half. The top half had so much drama and punch and it would have been perfect for the Oscar red carpet. The bottom half looked like a fugly, wrinkly mattress (look at the back of it, yeeeuuuch), it had that horrible... fringe... stuff... and it came down to a weird length. Plus, with the fabric color, it was a little too heavy. The top really was divine, though. It would have kept him out of the bottom for sure, for me.

Althea: Eh. It was a little too twee for me, with the color and the literal flowers and whatnot. Plus, the flowers reminded me of like... when fake flowers get dusty. They were ugly. I didn't really like this dress, but it was elegant, and not bottom three worthy for me.

With 100 episodes down...

Or at least 100 half-hours...

I think it's time to rank all the Office episodes!

Hah! JUST as I finish my epic Office countdown...

THE OFFICE
GOSSIP
09-17-2009 9:00PM
MICHAEL GETS CAUGHT UP IN OFFICE GOSSIP--Michael (Golden Globe winner Steve Carell) feels left out as the rest of the office gossips about the summer interns. While Michael searches for the next juicy rumor to share, Andy (Ed Helms) struggles with heterosexuality. Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Brian Baumgartner, Leslie David Baker, Kate Flannery, Mindy Kaling, Angela Kinsey, Phyllis Smith, Oscar Nunez, Creed Bratton, Paul Lieberstein, B.J. Novak and Ellie Kemper also star.

I think there's probably a lot more to this premiere than meets the eye, if "meeting the eye" means "being in the summary." Then again, IIRC, it's a half-hour premiere (I am not worried about this at all... "Casino Night" and "Gay Witch Hunt" YESSSSS). I am so excited that Andy will get a major plotline, or at least a large subplot, but I suspected he would get a bigger part this season after the success of The Hangover. Also, Andy/Oscar FTW. Now that Jim and Pam are clearly together for good - :D :D :D :D :D :D it feels SO GREAT TO SAY THATTTT!!! - they are totally my new OTP.

Twitter should somehow be involved. Just because it's Twitter. Hee! Twitter! Just say the name!

The Office S5: Top Ten Episodes.

10. Broke
The cold open. Alelulia Church of Scranton. Competent Michael. BYE-BYE CHARLES. Yeah, this episode was fantastic.

9. Crime Aid
It's very underrated, actually, in that I never see anyone talking about it. I thought this episode was super sweet and funny. I loved Michael and Holly dating. It was adorable, and we can all pretend that Jim and Pam had that whole awkward thing going on at the beginning. The auction was pure gold, and... I mean... C.R.I.M.E.A.I.D. I love it when Michael makes shit up! The only reason this episode isn't higher, actually, is... you should guess this if you know me. Fucking Roy! DIAF douchebag.

8. Company Picnic
Much like Casino Night, this episode is probably overrated because of the JAM quotient, but I still loved this episode. It was terrifically funny, it set up several interesting storylines for next season while not being all "AAAAH ZOOOOMG WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN??!?!?!??!", Michael and Holly were super understatedly sweet, and yeah, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that last scene, even if I suspected it was coming. The acting there was just gorgeous.

7. Cafe Disco
I don't like to be all "it was like S2!!!" because I hate when people toss that out to mean "it was a good episode" (like "this is so Vogue-worthy!!!" meaning "this is a good photo" in the NTM-verse), but this was a very S2 episode... with the added benefit of Jim and Pam being ENGAGED and TALKING ABOUT THEIR WEDDING SQUEEEE. Also, the scene where they were all dancing to the YMCA is one of my all-time favorites on this show. I'm sure I've said it before, but I love it so much when the office is all together having a great time.

6. Lecture Circuit, Part One
"It is your birthday" is one of few things ever that will always make me laugh out loud, no matter how many times I see it, and I loved the redemption of Karen after the awful way they portrayed her in Branch Wars. Really, that's all I needed to like this episode, but it has so much more to offer; it's just very, very funny. Oh, and I have a HUUUUGE soft spot for Michael/Pam... not in terms of a romantic thing, but just their interactions or whatever. Terrific episode.

5. Michael Scott Paper Company
Like a few others, I had my doubts about the Michael Scott Paper Company arc, especially after the depressing-fest that was Dream Team (see #22 on this list). But this episode blew all my doubts away by being one of the best episodes of all time. Like "it is your birthday," "It's Britney, bitch" is always going to make me laugh, out loud, at an embarrassing volume. The rest of the episode was also more or less fantastically funny, while seamlessly incorporating the new paper company.

4. Business Trip
I loved the Michael/Andy/Oscar business (and when is it gonna emerge that Andy's gay? Duh. To quote Michael in an episode that may or may not be #1, "Andy, you're gayer than Oscar!"), but the one thing that sent this episode far over the top for me was the Kelly/Ryan stuff. I'm sorry, but Ryan doing one-handed push-ups in order to tempt Kelly is just genius. I would like to give whoever came up with that idea a Nobel Prize in Comedy, or something.

3. The Surplus
This episode is just fucking hysterical. I heard a lot of bellyaching at the time about Pam being ~zomg so OOC~ but seeing as I'm um, the only person on the internet that doesn't pay attention to just Jim and Pam in an episode (oh sick burn? Not really), I didn't really mind. She was somewhat OOC but I understood why. Anyway, this episode was a great representative of trying to ~compromise in a group~ as well. At the time it aired, I was in a seminar and we had... um... some difficulty agreeing on things, so that added an extra dimension to the episode. Loved it.

2. Stress Relief
Like "The Surplus," sometimes you just need an episode where you laugh a lot. Also, I may have said this before, but Ed Helms really needs some kind of Nobel Prize in comedy for this episode or something. Say what you will about the cold open being over-the-top, it was also one of the funnier moments on TV, like... ever.

1. Weight Loss
Just to get this damn list finished... it was a brilliant, brilliant episode from that cheese fountain to the hospital in Costa Rica. Yes, the fact that Jim and Pam got engaged was just... the icing on the cake, but that cake was fucking delicious besides that. It was just SO well-written, funny, and sweet, and I love how all the supporting cast got a chance to shine so brightly. I suspect this one will be in my top five favorites for a long, long time. For some original reactions, see here, here, here, and of course my mega-rundown (hah, rundown!) here. Be prepared for a lot of SQUEEEEEing! Oh, and in fact, I am going to go watch the whole thing again right now. I have been inspired.

All in all, I think S5 was a very successful season that brought us some really excellent episodes and storylines. There was a lot of undeserved whining around December/January/February about OMG WHY IS THERE NOT MORE JAM, but by the time the end of the season rolled around, thankfully pretty much everyone had realized that overall, it was a great season. 28 episodes is a lot and not all were excellent (Employee Transfer? New Boss? Dream Team? Business Ethics? Blood Drive? zzzz), but none were terrible.

Great job as ever, Office. Here's to S6.

Uhhh cool story...?

So I belong to a forum where I rarely post. Like, I've been a member for maybe like 14 months and I have roughly 300 posts. Sometimes I go on posting sprees, sometimes I won't post for weeks, etc. I read the boards a lot, though. Anyway, these boards have a much-advertised "ignore feature," and you can see how many people have you ignored. I've never been ignored by anyone before, but I credit that more to the fact that I rarely post rather than the fact that I am obviously so insightful and witty that no one would want to not read what I post, hah. I don't have anyone ignored; yeah, there are some consistently annoying posters on the site, but I just roll my eyes and skip their posts.

Yesterday, according to my profile, I was ignored by 0 members.
Today, I am being ignored by 3 members.
HUH?
I didn't even make a post in the past... like... few days! I don't get it! Not that I'm so offended, it's just confusing and, to invent a term, randoza.

BOOOOO

I didn't see Inglorious Bastards. This weekend/next week? :(

Oh, and The Informant looks HYSTERICAL a la Burn After Reading. I didn't know it was supposed to be a pseudo-comedy; I thought it was supposed to be a serious spy film. And frankly, I always love Maaaaaatt Daaaaamon.

Hmmm.

Should I "recap" Project Runway? I am thinking I should.

Also, I'm watching the Top Model marathon on Oxygen right now and it's the Fuerzabruta shoot during Cycle 10, and Tyra just went "H2ohnoshedidn'tgiiiiirl!!!!" I kind of love her, I don't care.

Luuuurvely.

Here ya go. Thank you, prompt YouTube-rs.

He is dorky. He has a dorky haircut. As Dave said, he looks about 15. And I like him so much more for being dorky!

Also in random music-related thoughts

Do they say "mazel tov" in "I Gotta Feeling," or am I mishearing the lyrics? Because that'd be the best thing the Black Eyed Peas have ever, ever, ever done.

FINALLY.

Oh, Mark, you are so cute, but David Letterman is right, you kind of look fifteen, and he forgot to add that you kind of have a weird haircut. Additionally, I adore you, but that was a sucky-ass Late Show that I had to sit through for your cuteness/hotness. Still, SO CUTE. It was worth it! MCT 4 MVP y'alls


This is lame, but a random note. You know that "don't trust a ho" song, the actual name of which I can't think of right now?* Okay, why do they bleep out the ho but keep the "do the Helen Keller" line? That latter line is... way more offensive.


*I looked it up. It is "Don't Trust Me" by 30H3 or something like that.

RUN TO THE HILLS!!!!

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!

That will always remind me of those goddamn Quiznos commercials with the freakish singing creatures. Anyway!

David Letterman just asked Anna Wintour about The Devil Wears Prada. OH SHIT. Aren't you like never supposed to bring that up around her or something?!?!?!?!? Anyway, this is a hella uncomfortable interview and has generally been a bad Late Show (great great top ten list, but the opening monologues/other comedic riffing were TERRIBLE and at one point I was wondering if they would EVER END) and Tex better be at his cutest.

Monday, August 24, 2009

DAMMIT DAVID LETTERMAN.

THIS IS A BAD MONOLOGUE. PLEASE GET ON WITH IT.

I am actually excited to see a movie.

Inglorious Bastards tomorrow!!!

Haha this photo is SO awkward.

I still heart Hosea.

In unrelated news, CC Sabathia is a friggin' BEAST and I LOVE him, Derek Jeter is my favorite baseball robot, and watching Beckett get his ass smacked around is never not satisfying.

Sunday, August 23, 2009

Double whoah.

Uh, here are Jim and Pam getting married.

I am starting to think that, because it's SO obvious they're getting married and NOTHING is secret, that something is going to go horribly wrong. Oh no. :( I trust the writers too much to TRULY go into that mindset, though.

Nostalgia!



This was totally my favorite movie as a kid. It's even funnier when you consider that Bill Murray actually shows up in it.

Movies I don't want to see.

Post-Grad.

OH NOS!!! She experiences minor setbacks after graduating!!! She has to move back in with her parents!!! And look for a job which I'm sure she'll have - her dream job, no less - by the end of the movie!!! And choose between two surely really cute guys!!! OMG NO!!! THE HORRORS!!!!

Yeah, I'm not bitter.

Saturday, August 22, 2009

Hmmm

I like Little Children and all (read that without knowing I'm referring to the movie and that's a very different sentence hah!), but the movie's kind of dull as hell. And that's impressive to do, when your movie has many a scene, IIRC, of Patrick Wilson and Kate Winslet fucking. Also, the way it's shot and directed, there are more than a few scenes that seem straight out of a horror movie. Still boring. It's not unlike the novel The Color Purple (it took me forever to think of the title of that), which, again, IIRC, has at least one graphic lesbian sex scene, and is still a total snoozer.

Though, the last time I read it was like 11th grade, so maybe I should give it another try?

Whoah.

So... here's Pam in her wedding dress.

They are not being too much like the Fort Knox of spoilers on the set of The Office that they usually are. o_O

HAH.

Yes, this is kind of old. But I'm gonna be quoting it from now on. And I realize he's a streaky goofball, but I love me some Swish! And Tex, obviously.

This is hysterical too. I swear I am not one of those obnoxious Yankees fans who runs around screaming "BOSTON SUCKS!" Cuz they don't. They're a really good team. Scary good. Which is why I hope we massacre them and they don't make the playoffs. :D

Friday, August 21, 2009

ha ha ha.

So I'm watching Project Runway's lame and kind of unnecessary semi-ANTM spinoff, Models of the Runway, and the first words I hear out of some model's mouth are, "It looks like a space suit from space."

Oh man, I have missed ANTM's dumbassness. (weeps) It needs to come back like ASAP.

Thursday, August 20, 2009

ANTM C13 predix!

Yeah, there's gonna be a double elimination somewhere, but I dunno where, so I'll just have 14 individual eliminations for now.

14. Ashley
She's forgettable and she doesn't seem to be a very good model, at least from what we've seen before. No matter how much I like her, she screams early out to me, much like Nijah did last year.

13. Courtney
If there's any sort of shoot requiring edge, she's fucked. Her early out might be wishful thinking, but there are whispers that she's an early out. I think she's either a very early out, or she'll get eliminated during the go-sees episode overseas (haha, go-sees are going to be HILARIOUS this cycle).

12. Sundai
I think Tyra and maybe some of the other judges will love her, but her photos will just be too bad and her looks too pedestrian to let her get very far. If she gets a makeover to edge her out, though, like C11's Sam, she might get a lot farther, like overseas farther.

11. Lisa
I love her, but I think the judges will suddenly spring the "OMG WHERE IS YOUR PERSONALITY?" line on her. That, and her body's kind of weird.

10. Kara
I just don't see her getting that far. I don't think she'll take great photos and she looks old. Plus, if it wasn't for her crazy fans on some boards I read, I'd find her forgettable.

9. Rae
Obligatory "eliminated for resting on pretty" girl. Again, though, like Sundai, if she gets an edgy makeover, she will probably make it overseas. Either that, or she's getting the Rebecca treatment, where they decide she's boring and pretty-pretty early on, and never really change their minds.

8. Rachel
I think she'll have an awesome portfolio, but she'll mess up slightly on one shoot and it's goodbye. Or she doesn't show enough personality and the judges don't think she wants it or something dumb. My point is, I think her elimination will be BS.

7. Laura
She's got great potential in my mind, but she was also Voted Most Likely to Fuck Up a Commercial Because of Her Accent, Y'All. By... well... me.

6. Brittany
If she really is a crazy bee-yotch, then she will get far, but not too far. Heh. You know it's true. I think she'll get fairly far based on her strong potential, anyway.

5. Lulu
I think she'll be the "personality" girl who all the judges will be in love with, but her photos will only be okay.

4. Erin
She'll be awesome, but they always have to have some elimination that doesn't make any sense. Well, I have seen candid photos of her on one of the boards I read, and she's less impressive in them than she's been in her promo photos, so maybe she'll be eliminated for "not being a model in person" or something.

3. Bianca
I really think she's going to suck and photograph really harshly and old. But honestly, there's one of those that gets way too far almost every cycle (Keenyah, Kim, Jaeda/Eugena, Natasha, Bianca/Heather/Saleisha, Dominique/Katarzyna, Elina, and I liked Aminat more than most but yeah, Aminat...). Seeing as Bianca seems to have the tragic backstory (she shaved her head after an abusive relationship of hers ended), I think she'll be the one this cycle.

2. Nicole
Just because I'm not sure if Tyra can resist a redhead/Asian F2. I think she might be cute and quirky, and the judges always let those girls go to the F2 but no farther. Plus, GOD, another Nicole can't win. This is ANTM, you know they have rules like that!

1. Jennifer
ONE TIME FOR THE AAAAA-SIANS!!!! Then again, didn't everyone think this about Sheena, too? Hmm.




Don't forget to make this one of your favorites so you can laugh at me when this cycle is over and, like, Courtney won. EW.

ANTM C13: Us Weekly promo

AIEEEEE.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

From left to right: Sundai, Nicole, Laura, Erin, Lulu, Jennifer, Brittany, Courtney, Bianca, Rae, Kara, Ashley, Rachel, Lisa.

Ashley
I'm still getting first out vibes from her. She just seems kind of blah and forgettable, and though she's pretty, she's still photographing old. And she looks tired.

Bianca
It's more than likely the worst photo here. Her face is totally blank, minus the weird angry expression, and the pose is, as Miss Jay would say, the "black girl in the ghetto" pose or whatever it is. I really think she'll be the worst girl... but I'm pretty sure she'll make it overseas, too.

Brittany
Her face is just so beautiful, but I'm not that crazy about this photo. She looks kind of hesitant, and that's not really a flattering angle for her body. It makes her look wider than she really is. That said, she's still got one hell of a face... she's basically a blonde Samantha C8, and her face was awesome.

Courtney
I still don't get it. :( She looks weird and unfocused, or something. This photo makes her look short and dumpy, too. Unless she does better on the show, I really hope she's an early out.

Erin
Love her face, love her pose, love her. I really just think she has awesome bone structure. Hopefully she's this good on the show!

Jennifer
Her head is tipped at kind of an unflattering angle, but other than that, I do like it. She looks strong and even though she's kind of hidden, I like her pose. Or maybe I'm just saying that because I assume she's gonna be the winner and I'm bracing myself for it, hah!

Kara
This photo is MUCH better than her promo photo. Her face looks great, if still kind of old, and I love her pose. She'll definitely bring the attitude to her photoshoots, hah.

Laura
Like Jennifer, that's a really unflattering angle for her face, but I still think her face is just amazing. I still love her.

Lisa
She's really underrated. I think she's an early out, but she's just got a gorgeous face. I love how delicate her pose is, and I just think she has a gorgeous face. Not necessarily a model's face, but she's just got a beautiful face.

Lulu
See, this is the "simple strength" all ANTM girls should aspire to in their photoshoots. I love this photo, and I love Lulu.

Nicole
10000000x better than that "DURRRRR" expression she has in her promo shot! She really looks like Alya here, who was a very strong contestant on one of the foreign NTMs and who had a really unique face. She definitely seems like a chameleon; in every photo/screencap I've seen of her, she looks different (though, unfortunately, a lot of the time, she looks REALLY busted). IDK, I'll have to see how she does on the show...

Rachel
I like her more and more as the premiere gets closer and closer. As for this photo, minus the fact that she looks hella short, I LOVE IT. That face is just amazing! On a negative note, damn, she really looks like a midget.

Rae
Whoah. I'm pretty sure she's gonna be the obligatory booted-for-resting-on-pretty girl, but, other than the fact that her body's mostly hidden (which might be a good thing, considering how chunky-ish she looks in her promo shot :( ), this is a great photo. She looks like a more conventionally pretty version of Anya.

Sundai
Ehhh... at least the HORRIBLE HAIR is hidden, but her cheeks are just too chubby. I really don't think she's got much of anything.


PREDICTIONS NEXT!!!! WOOOOOO

in which I admit to watching David Letterman

So my dad is really into David Letterman's show and he always watches it, and goes on and on about how funny it is. And it usually is. Really. The only issue is that The Colbert Report, which is even funnier, is on at the same time, and I can't get over the fact that I feel about 47 years old watching David Letterman.

And then.

I found out about this.

Oh yeah. There's at least one reason to watch Letterman over Colbert on Monday. SEXY TEXY!

Sometimes, cheesy YouTube videos are just... awesome.



Enjoy. (sniffle)

YAY RICK BAYLISS!!!!! I LOVE HIM!!!!!

So I don't forget...

Tomorrow I'll comment on the ANTM C13 girls in their Us Weekly spread.

Dammit, if only these girls weren't so short, because they're so stunning! And from what I hear, there is a fair amount of crazy. IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT CYCLE Y'ALL.



ETA: Okay, I got side-tracked today. Tomorrow. :)

Wednesday, August 19, 2009

TOOOOOP CHEEEEEFFFFF!!!!!

IT'S TOTES BACK EVERYONE.

As for the premiere:
a. LOL with the guy making his meal based on boobs.
b. Ron and Jen (I think those are their names?) own. Even though Ron has no idea what a "sin" is or whatever.
c. NICE FAKEOUT WITH THAT COMMERCIAL, THERE, BRAVO. GOD.
d. I think they eliminated the person they did so I didn't have to stare, horrified, at her earrings any more.

Hey Rick Bayliss!

So I'm finally watching last week's episode of Top Chef: Masters from the beginning and DAMMIT, Rick, stop making guacamole if you're not going to bring it to my house, like, right now.

OMG TOMORROW IS A TOP CHEF DAY OF WONDERFULNESS YAAAAYYY

Tuesday, August 18, 2009

I saw a movie! Really, I did! From 2009!

(500) Days of Summer. I am not sure why the 500 is in parentheses, unless, I dunno, parentheses-happy me came up with that. Hah.

Basically, if you have an idea about an indie film in your head, it's this film. The great soundtrack of bands you've never heard of, the cutesy handrawn credits, the quirky indie girl, the smart-talking young kid... and the male lead was the woobiest of all woobies that has ever woobied.

As I said, great soundtrack, though. That scene with "You Make My Dreams" was totally awesome, too (I just saw some website whining about how it was "a celebration of heteronormativity" - huhhh? You know, I'm not like "YAY HETERONORMATIVITY" but men and women have relationships in which there's sex! It's true! It happens between two men and two women sometimes, too! And sometimes even more! That is a shocker, I know!). And it's better than Once.

It was also rather emotionally true... but I don't really want to go into that cuz it'd be kind of TMI, so just take my word for it.

Monday, August 17, 2009

Monday morning lolz.



How I never saw this before (when I can probably sing my way through the first one - HEY, I WAS A CAMP COUNSELOR FOR 7- AND 8-YEAR OLDS THE YEAR IT WAS POPULAR. LEAVE ME ALONE.), the world may never know.

Rule of life:



Almost everyone secretly likes Les Miserables. NPH (not surprising), Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Mark Teixeira...

Hmmm

So how many times have I heard the goddamn Macarena? A lot. In summer 1996, I was at a camp (which I will someday doubtlessly write a memoir about, oh boy), and I heard it approximately 2086420860498609486 times at camp alone. The song's partially in Spanish, a language I'm really familiar with. WHY DO I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE LYRICS ARE?!

I feel ashamed categorizing this under "music." Because... it's the Macarena.

Sunday, August 16, 2009

Heh.

I have the same UC Santa somethingorother Banana Slugs shirt that John Travolta wears at one point in Pulp Fiction. Woooooo! I just love that mascot.

Friday, August 14, 2009

So you know what's like the most depressing song?

"Miami 2017." It's like... about the aftermath of "99 Red Balloons" and what the hell happened to everyone.

Since I'm apparently in an especially Yankees mood as of late, the lines about Norfolk sending a carrier out and buying the Yankees always make me both get goosebumps and tear up.

MY BB IS BACK.



The entire Daily Show yesterday was amazing; you should be watching it right now.

ANTM C13 midgets!!!!

Warning: farkin' big images! First, let me just say that these girls are, almost uniformly, really, really pretty. No one has a horrible promo shot like Tahlia, London, Jessica, and Kortnie last cycle. There will be a minimum of bitching and a maximum of nitpicking.

Ashley

Is it bad that my first thought was, “those pants are pulling at an unflattering area on her crotch”? Anyway, she seems really hated, but I don’t think she’s so bad. I love her skin and her hair, and her proportions are really good. She just looks really pedestrian, kind of oldish, and her expression is sour. It looks like she might photograph harshly if she’s not careful. But I do like her! I think she's destined to be an early elimination, though.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Bianca

She looks like Nnenna, so I love her... but she also looks like C9 Bianca, so I hate her. :P Eh, she's okay. Anyway, this isn’t a very good photo. I don’t mind the shaved head (I’m already ROFLing thinking about what they’re gonna do to her for the makeover though. BAD WIG AHOYYYYYY), but it’s just such a harsh, harsh expression on her face and she looks old. And compared to Nnenna, she just ain't that great. Though she has been in a commercial for like .02 seconds where she looked really gorgeous. At the very least, I can laugh at her shoes here.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Brittany

According to ~some random person that knows her on ONTD~, she brings the crazy. YAY! Anyway, other than that, I think she’s stunning. Her outfit is really cute (though it kinda gives her some HIPS, though it’s not terrible), she’s got great legs, hair, and facial bone structure. She reminds me of Meaghan, the most recent winner of CNTM, only maybe even more stunning. I can’t believe she’s only 5’5”!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Courtney

Everyone loooves her, and I just... don't get it. Like, I've heard one of the biggest, most annoying Analeigh detractors jizzing all over Courtney's "classically beautiful" face. Really? I mean, she's pretty, but she's not a stunner. She looks like what her occupation is, an obnoxiously perky (not that I'm not guilty of this myself at times, frankly) cheerleading captain. Like that pose is kind of silly, and it's a fail combined with the big cheesy smile on her face. She totally doesn’t look 5’4” though. Great legs.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Erin

Woowwwwwww. This photo is AMAAAAAZING. Right now, she’s obviously the best girl, which probably means she’ll suck on the show (Heather, Hannah, Sandra, Adele...). Damn, she is stunning! She looks so tall and willowy, and her face is flawless. Seriously, she’s got one of the best faces ever on this show. It’s too bad her gorgeous hair will undoubtedly get cut off by Tyra for makeovers. And she’s 5’6” so… not that short!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Jennifer

O hai Asian who will probably win. Actually, I shouldn’t say that, because let’s face it, that’s what everyone said about Sheena. Anyway, she’s cute and, like many of the girls, gorgeous, but she’s just so commercial to the point where she’s hardly even a model, like the worst aspects of Fo last year. Plus, thunderthighs. That said, I think she could benefit from an edgy haircut and maybe she takes a hella fierce photo. I like her a lot more than this “review” would indicate!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Kara

Uhhh… well, it’s nice for Kortnie that she got down to “normal” model size, changed her name (Kortnie to Kara… you ain’t foolin’ me, lady ;) ), and tried out for this season. She’s got a great body, but I don’t like the expression on her face at all and she looks old. That said, the promo in Us Weekly just came out and wow, she looks fantastic there. Maybe I was wrong about this one… but until the show airs, I’m just gonna keep saying I don’t like her. :P

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Laura

Hardly anyone talks about her, but I think she’s my second favorite, after ERIN ERIN ERIN ERIN ERIN. Her pose is cute, she’s super long and lean (or at least looks it), I wear that outfit more or less every day, and I think her face is just awesome. Seriously, tell me that face isn’t positively perfect for the industry. Oh, and apparently she’s a hick that castrates cows! What else could you want.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Lisa

HEY I AM AN AEROBICS INSTRUCTOR EVERYONE. Seriously, that pose, lols. Anyway, I think she’s cute and she’s got a gorgeous face, but she seems extremely commercial, like a lot of the other girls. Maybe she’ll surprise me and photograph interestingly, though… I don’t know, I just like her. A lot, too. It’s unfortunate that she’s kinda chunky, but I just think her face is freaking divine, and faces will matter a lot for these girls.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Lulu

She’s been featured in one of the commercials, where she looks hella busted. Like, I love Isis, but Isis-level busted. Here, though, I like her, despite the fact that it’s kind of a weird and awkward picture. She’s really tiny, and she totally looks like Chanel Iman. Based on the commercials, she’s gonna be really fun personality-wise, too. And her name is LULU!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Nicole

Um… here’s the thing. I WANT to love her. She looks SO tall (she’s already one of the taller ones, at 5’7”, but she looks way taller than that here) and skinny, she’s almost a smidgen like Cintia Dicker ZOMG, and she’s been in one of the commercials where she looks like Nicole C5. Like Erin, she’s got a great face. The only thing is, she totally reminds me of Adele. And we all know Adele took freaking KILLER pre-show shots, then SUCKED on the show. So, for now, Nicole...
Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Bitch got her own Colbert macro! She should be grateful. ;)

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Rachel

Uh… it looks like she’s got one great little body and she strikes me as adorable, but that face! She looks like a frog crossed with Jimmy Fallon. Though for some reason, I feel like she’s going to be a killer model with a serious chameleon quality, and this is just a bad photo of her face. And sure enough, she looks really pretty and angelic in the Us Weekly promo.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Rae

She’s pretty, but she strikes me as just a bit too chunky. I don’t really remember her all that much. I can’t believe she’s a mom, though! Oh, and I’ve seen quite a few “OMG CLARE IS BACK!!!” No. Just… no. Eh, I think she’s one of my least favorites. I mean, she’s pretty, but she’s not as pretty as some other girls and it’s not really a model’s face. These girls really need model faces. And her proportions just seem… off for modeling. Hot in real life though, no doubt, especially because SHE’S A MOM!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Sundai

Obligatory Silly Name Brigade. Also LOL @ the fact that she’s the shortest one there, at 5’3”. F all y’alls’ I, that’s four inches taller than I am. That said, despite looking pretty tall for 5’3” (great legs!), I’m just not crazy about her face. She looks HARSH. There’s been a lot of “she looks just like Ebony C9!” and… no. Jesus cries over you saying that! Her hair is just a mess, too. This one needs a makeover, stat. I think she’s my least favorite…

My ranking of the girls, subject to change, keeping in mind no one is really terrible:
1. Erin
2. Laura
3. Lisa
4. Brittany
5. Lulu
6. Jennifer
7. Rachel
8. Nicole
9. Ashley
10. Bianca
11. Rae
12. Courtney
13. Kara
14. Sundai

I'll do elimination predictions later. YAAAAY I love 14-girl seasons!!!

YES.

That last post I made just reminded me of who I always think Hubert Keller on Top Chef: Masters (and other assorted cooking shows and whatnot) is like: Jean Valjean, but like, Jean Valjean who will kill you. Cuz Hubert kind of terrifies me.

Oh HELL yes.

Via a citation on Wikipedia:

There's more to Mark Teixeira than just baseball. While promoting his work with the National Foundation for Cancer Research/Coppertone’s “Help Strike Out Sun Damage” program, the Yankee first baseman confessed he’s a big fan of the Great White Way. “My favorite musical of all time is ‘Les Miserables,’” he said. “But ‘Phantom of the Opera’ and ‘Miss Saigon’ are great too!”

So I guess we're pretty much dating now! Or not.

so I'm not putting up my random comments tonight

But I promise I won't read fourfour before I do so that you don't read the same comments as, I dunno, every other blogger because everyone thinks he is ZOMG SO FUNNY and pretty much copies exactly what he says. Not that I'm really trying to be funny, or that people looking for SERIOUSLY busted girls will find much in this group other than the fact that they're MIDGETS!!!!

Okay, let me say it now so you guys don't have to hear it 80000 times. I will probably mockingly refer to this as the ~Midget Cycle!!!!~ as many times as possible. I just think that's hysterical. But the girls on this cycle actually aren't all that short overall. The average height is probably somewhere between 5'5" and 5'6", due to all the girls that are 5'6" and 5'7". THAT'S STILL SIX TO SEVEN INCHES TALLER THAN I AM! It just makes me laugh.

YAY, MIDGETS!!!!

Thoughts on the C13 girls later!!!! WOOOOOO

Monday, August 10, 2009

Sometimes I really love Kathy Griffin.



She totally took Levi Johnson to the Teen Choice Awards, which... I have no idea how she managed that one, but well-played, Kathy. Well-played.

BTW posting may be down this week. Not that anyone really cares.

I would have this picture saved.


Yeah.

Um, yeah.

ESPN was interviewing him after the game and he was all sweaty and... yeah.

I think this is what they like to call "satisfaction"


OMG.

Porn!

Food porn, you pervs. NOM NOM NOM.

Heh, nothing is more awkward than when you're at a friend's house and she's going to YouTube on her computer and YouPorn pops up as a suggestion in her visited sites...

Ergh...

Derek Jeter, you know, I think you're totally adorable and obviously you're, you know, good at baseball and all that (I'm GETTIN' OUT THE BROOMS for tomorrow night ;) ), but OH MY GOD YOUR CAR OR WHATEVER ELSE COMMERCIALS ARE PAINFUL. Like, ANTM girls trying to do a commercial-level painful.

The thing is, when I see Jeter talking to the press after games or whatever, he's always extremely well-spoken and very classy. He doesn't come off like a monotone robot, like he does in every one of his numerous commercials. Maybe having him read off a cue card is a terrible idea? IDK.

Saturday, August 08, 2009

you know...

Tropic Thunder just can't hold my interest past the first half hour or so. =/ Honestly, the movie never lives up to those fake trailers!

So

Epic Movie really is that bad. Yikes.

ETA: Wait, I apparently already saw it? Maybe I blocked it out. Anyway, knock that D way down to an F, yup.

Friday, August 07, 2009

August 19!!!

Not only does regular Top Chef come back (I'm not excited at the fact that it'll be in cheesy Las Vegas, oh well, IT'S STILL TOP CHEF!), but it's the finale of Top Chef Masters, with the past winners of Top Chef judging! Yay Hosea!

Okay, I can't pretend he's my favorite Top Chef winner, even to spite the idiots. I love every winner except Ilan.

Thursday, August 06, 2009

Y'know...

If Obama is ~going to enslave the white race~ can he just do it already, because I am sick of studying for the GRE.

I really shouldn't read TWoP.

Cuz I went there just to read about Top Chef Masters and FFS people can you not overanalyze everything?!?!?!? At least they're being moderately positive about the series, as opposed to "ZOMG BOREFEST!!!" But seriously, they all HAAAAATE Art Smith, and... how the hell do you hate him?! He is wonderful!!!

Urgh...

Is a second Sex and the City movie really necessary? Yes I know it made a grajillion dollars, but I know it's just gonna be the same as the first; Carrie and Big will break up in some dramatic fashion, then get back together at the end. ZZZZ. Oh, and according to Us Weekly, they're shooting in the UAE. What the hell?

Oh, and if they break up Charlotte and Harry for drama, heads are going to fucking roll. You hear me, writers?!

Oh DEAR.

I didn't know Robert Downey Jr.'s character in Tropic Thunder was (mostly) based off of Heath Ledger. I assumed it was Russell Crowe. As TV Tropes would say, FUNNY ANEURYSM MOMENT!

The Birthers wish Obama a happy birthday.


Also, Joe (the) Biden is on Ellen! Though clearly it's a rerun from before the election.

It's someone's birthday...



Happy birthday, Barry. :D :D :D :D :D

I think that last one is my favorite GIF of all time...

Whoah.

Definitely, Maybe is kind of... an incredibly irritating movie. ETA: And now that it's over, that was like... such a dumb ending. It doesn't help that MEGAHOTTIE Ryan Reynolds looks about half Elizabeth Banks' and Rachel Weisz's (though she's like, the most gorgeous thing on the planet, let's face it) age, and looks like he could be Isla Fisher's uncle.

Though all the Clinton nostalgia and whatnot gets me all thinkin' about my pseudo-campaigning for Barry O. Awwwwww. <3333

Oh man.

Inglorious Bastards has begun showing ads on TV. These ads include Brad Pitt with a laughable accent and what appears to be Hitler played for camp. I CANNOT WAIT.

you know...

The portrayal of feminists in Veronica Mars wasn't all that incorrect and that's all I'm gonna say about it.

What. WHAT.

Yes, I know, Rule 34, but STILL.

I totally just listened to this and cried like a lot.

*sniff*

Crowning Moments of Heartwarming from the movies.

Also,

Oh God, until I read that site's Funny Aneurysm Moments, it didn't even occur to me how fucking sad it'll be to watch Love Actually again and see poor Liam Neeson as a man mourning over his wife's death. Oh God. Oh God. (curls up in a corner, cries everywhere)

So I'm an idiot.

I went to Television Tropes (GREAT site) and for some reason read the "High-Octane Nightmare Fuel" sections on The Legend of Zelda and the like and OH GOD NEVER SLEEPING. CRRRYYYYYYYYY.
