Yeah. As an experiment in screenwriting it was interesting but not particularly entertaining. Dude was just being way too clever for my tastes with that one.

Magnolia is what happens when you try to make a movie in the midst of a months-long cocaine binge. Flashes of briliance without the focus needed to tighten the narrative into something an audience can digest.

Actually, I do kind of like watching Gabe shoot fish in a barrell so I'm totally with you on The Love Guru and I'll throw in Hush for good measure (really just the worst thing ever).

And I'll second your Hard Eight nom. Rented that movie with the highest of expections after watching Boogie Nights and instead ended up with a big ol' sad.

If we all just wanted to see Gabe shoot fish in a barrell, I'd nominate Hush (1998 Gwyneth Paltrow vehichle) and be done with it.

Adaptation Downvote away (if anyone is even still reading this thread). Just please don't tell me I didn't get it.

I thought American Beauty was a great movie when I was 16. And then I grew up.

Did Dr. Pretty Lady imply that her father is in the mob or did I completely misread that entire scene? Because Baller Don Draper with mob connections could be...um...interesting.

You get upvotes, friend. I don't see Joaquin with any upvotes, do you?

Agreed! Although I must insist you show your work if you're going to suggest that Megyn Kelly and Wolf Blitzer are reporters. I think the term you are looking for is "warm bodies that read from teleprompters".

My girlfriend just watched the first season of The Wire and was really upset to hear about how they've been treating the inventor of the McNugget. Her rage is almost understandable if not misdirected. "You think Ronald McDonald go down to that basement and say, 'Hey, Mr. Nugget, you the bomb. We selling chicken faster than you can tear the bone out. So I'm gonna write my clowny-ass name on this fat-ass check for you!'?"

Jon Stewart's cracking up in interviews often does seem fake to me too. But I think Fallon is naturally giggly (giggly?) and has a lot of nervous energy and him not being able to keep it together through a lot of sketches is for reals. Personally I find it distracting, not charming, but who cares what I think?

Unfortunately NBC decided to continue its policy of making crap shows and didn't pick up the show (with the exception of 8pm-10pm Thursdays of course). http://www.deadline.com/2010/05/primetime-pilot-panic-nbcs-the-strip-dead/

I think this is the first day all week that Videogum has not had a Mel Gibson post...so instead we get treated to this garbage. I'm not going to tell a professional blogger how to blog on his blog, but I do reserve the right to offer constructive criticism. This is lame, Gabe. Please less of this and Mel Gibson; more trampoline accidents and making fun of Chace Crawford. Thanks.

Do you really want to call an 11 year-old girl a piece of trash? She's a child. And like too many children she has human garbage for parents. That's not her fault. Unforunately she will probably grow up to be trash but right now she is just the unlucky child of trash making very poor decisions because she's probably never seen an example of a good decision from the adults in her life. Sadness-gum all around.

Are you new to the South? I don't listen to much radio or watch much tv but I can say that the comments section on the local news websites is absolutely crazy pants racist free-for-all. But no matter where you live, politics is a very emotional thing for a lot of people. For the unwashed masses, politics isn't an intellectual debate of public policies at all; it's much more base than that and always has been. Trying to understand this stuff on an intellectual level is the height of futility.

The plot is ODD COUPLE ROAD-TRIP MOVIE STARRING ROBERT DOWNEY JR AND THAT WEIRD GUY FROM THE HANGOVER THAT THE KIDS LOVE THIS YEAR DUH. That is supposed to be all you need to know to go see this. From the mind of the Hollywoods execs (yes, all of them!).

Oh crap, you guys, this is my FL State Rep! Seriously, I live in this guy's district. I would apologize for this silliness, but to be totally honest I'm getting really tired of apologizing for my home state so I wash my hands of the whole situation.
