Don't care. It's Sorkin. I'll watch really anything he writes. ANYTHIIIIIIIING!!! Plus, also, in summary, to add, we're comparing it to what? So this new Newsroom, which yeah, hasn't even premiered yet let alone gotten a few episodes in (see superexplosive reaction to Girls after a mere 25 minutes with it), we're saying it's bad...compared to what? Have you SEEN or even tried to watch any of the "comedies" on CBS? Oy freakin gevay. There is literally no sane audience for that tripe, and there are SO MANY of them. So even if this show isn't...I dunno, the next West Wing/Sports Night, is maybe what the critics are hoping? It's still a bajillion (< real number) times better than two f'ing minutes of Two and a Half Men. So, you know, icing on the cake. Or something.
"Engineer, does the mere existence of Lena Dunham negate Adam Carolla's old saw about women not being funny or is he just stating a very basic fact about women?"
Ohhhh I need a gif of that last one, Cat in the Hat full suit falling. I could LOL for days. Ah man, I feel really bad for all of their ankles (totally, catweazle) but this, I really needed this today. Thanks, LADIES!
You guys I think we all need to talk about what really just happened here, which is that we all just got Rickrolled by a Whitney Houston song when we were innocently promised Dachshund And Pug Fighting In Bee And Dinosaur Costumes. There are not enough black metal songs in the world to erase this.
I'd rather talk about the pic posted previously by Kelly on Vgum showing Louis CK shaking hands with Madame Secretary Hillz and Amy Poehler smirking in the background. I love that photo!!!! Hillz has this look on her face like shes expecting a buzzer handshake prank. Haha. Oh, Louis. I love all those people!
Is anyone else that has not (or has) read the books wondering how Tyrion will react to this latest game upper of Jeoffrey's obvious sadism? Tyrion is clever much more than brutal, but I kind of think he might up his own game. Of Thrones.
This is all well and good but can we please talk about the disgusting, highly disturbing and possibly unnecessary ads on Vgum from the CDC? I come for the LOLZ, CDC. Ads are fine, they're good, money makes the world go round but ICK! Amirite? Most monsters on here are at least 30 years away from having to have a lung removed let us worry about it then when we're reading our Reader's Digests online! Anyway, carry on. Ruby Sparks! I'll probably watch it! On Netlix, only if it's Instant Queable. Like a NORMAL PERSON.
Yes. Yes! Max I'm pretty sure you nailed it. And then doesn't he say "hooray!!!!' ? I like at the end he seems to be going down a hall, still scream-walking around. WHO WANTS TO EEEEEEEEAAAAAT??!?!?
HO. LEE. Sheisse. Is it even possible that nobody, no one thought "you know this *might* not look good, it's actually TERRIFYING." No? Nobody? OK Sweden. I guess just go back to your lingonberry pancakes and racially homogenous society. Seriously offended.
OMG Gabe, I have come from the past to tell your future self do NOT watch Hot Tub Time Machine. Do whatever, I mean, it's your life that will be wasted but please, everyone, re-watch Cosmos or just really just about anything else. I wish I could go back in a Hot Tub Time machine to un-watch that movie. Anyway, carry on.
I agree. I also don't believe that these characters are loathsome. I think they're human, and therein is the "what? Cinderella eats food?" problem. I very much think that you can't lump Kristen Wiig in with Diablo Cody or whatever her name is because please. That's like saying MItt Romney feels for other people.
Oh. So you did NOT know that women are human? Or....what's the argument here? Because, yeah. Women are human and I know that's craaaaazy. 3 very different films. Young Adult was written by Cody Diablo, if that's even a real thing, so we can just leave it at that. She's terrible. I said it. Lena Dunham's 'Tiny Furniture' is yeah, a 24 year old and the post-college WTF thing, which is also covered very well in 'Kicking & Screaming' by Noah Baumbach and is still a very valid, very real thing regardless of gender. It's also btw really one of the most honest, hilarious films I've seen in a very long time so monsters, queue up. (Netflix instant, the new Box Office Weekend.) 'Bridesmaids' we should just be happy with because FINALLY. It's hilarious, every performance is aces. And it's written by and about women. ONE. One movie. ONE. That made it to the Oscars, that adds to everyone's LOL401k. The character doesn't grow much but we're, what criticizing that now? Please see every Bukowski book ever written. My point is this: finally, we have some female voices. Give them some god damned room to create.
I could not agree with you more, (hank you for playing Church of England's) Cakeordeath! If you look at this photo of Malachy and don't giggle your ass off, you are dead inside. Stop playing. You're dead.
Well done, Gabe Liedman. Man, you are NOT kidding about those multi-seed rice crackers with soy sauce, although I'll never forgive TJs for discontinuing my beloved white cheddar soy crisps. But also, Chris Pratt and Nick Offerman deserve SO much love. That show has just absolutely endeared itself to me more and more. Great list, I will watch what you have recommended thanks!
Why, I am so obliged you asked! Scrooged (every Christmas and whenever I need a LOLZ), Reindeer Games (MORE LOLZ), Die Hard (a very good Xmas movie that doesn't give you diabetes). A LOT of Arrested Development which therapies me through my family. Carl Sagan's COSMOS, some Joseph Campbell (really). And a few others I've Netflix queued up - oh, Daniel Craig in 'Archangel.' Anyone seen? For any of you debating starting The Wire or Battlestar Gallactica - DO IT. You will thank us later for your new found addiction. And let it be said I'm not a huuuuge sci fi fan unless it's really well written. BSG is. Happy Holidays, Everybunny!
I'm really happy about this thread. The Grand Old Party leaves me absolutely speechless. There's a debate term, well several, but where you just assail with so many false factoids that your opponent doesn't even know where to begin; it happened with Al Gore and W. But seriously I'm glad SOMEONE actually noticed that Rick Perry is totally wearing Heath Ledger's jacket in Brokeback Mountain because HE TOTALLY IS.
YAY!!!!! Jenny Slate is la bomba. This is so sweet and creative and funny and I just ADORE them for making these. I love Marcel. Marcel, *I* will call you ACE. Love.
Oh god I love this site so much it hurts. I want to go to this night SO BAD. What was in the box of clothes?!?!?! I can GUESS, but my guess cannot nearly compensate for the Japan ?!?!?! ness that just is. What's in the box???? What's in the BOX?!?!? (Brad Pitt 'Seven' impression).
And nobody bothered to pull Rhianna aside to suggest that it might not be great to have a song about S&M very shortly after having her face punched in? Nobody? No? There were no adults to tell these overly rich, incredibly fortunate, very young kids that invoking these images was a bad idea? This video is Jar Jar Binks.
I want to do that "swan dive" off such a cliff every single time I go swimming or step into a hot tub. We can land a man on the moon, I should be able to do that, and I'm still waiting on my own personal hoverboard.
UUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!! Can s/he come over and play? omgogmogmgomgomgomgomg. love! but seriously, get back to us when Birdie can give a full fledged thumbs up/thumbs down.
Ahhh, my darling Videogum. Because that video made me sick (and if I were one of the Moms sitting there next to my daughter I would pull her aside and smack the shit outta that guy. "I guess you won't win then." UGH. KILL.), but turning the thread into Airplane references makes everything ok again.
The first video has been taken down?!?! Wuuuut? Oh, right. Because of her yet-to-come book deal. Would NOT want to compromise that situation. But that second video? Ohhh man. I was JUST saying all that to a girlfriend of mine the other night.
