dc monster -- got to the rally by 12:30, got stuck in the middle of 7th st, stayed for an hour, then left at 1:45 to get to work by 3 (work was 3 blocks away mind you) - a clusterfuck but a fun one - couldn't hear anything but the train song bit but the most exciting part for me was seeing a guy dressed as green man dancing excellently on a news van, also here's my bro-in-law and sis with sign:

yes some doctor who love!... i'm going as amy pond but I doubt anyone will actually recognize it unless I tell em

Sorry did I miss something? that looks fucking fantastic... and I don't mind russell brand so much as he's intentionally playing a buffoonish Shakespearian character (with alfred molina? awesome)
probably the only one on here that actually wants the lotr nz jade necklace (what can I say i love nz jade and I love lotr) but i'm putting my support behind werttrew because let's face it no one else has a chance
And while I'm at it The Weather Man with Nic Cage and Michael Caine because it's depressing and I had to listen to Cage talking about his daughter's camel toe and how he loves eating women out ugh
also The Other Boleyn Girl
because I unintentionally got my then boyfriend to tag along after saying there would probably be nude scarlett johanssen or natalie portman and instead we got awkward rape and incest
really untarnished? to name a few...
George of the Jungle
Dudley Do-Right
Journey to the Center of the Earth
and honestly this might as well count:

aww I liked the Boat that Rocked... I hated that renamed it though for Americans though and made sure that every preview would loudly say "pirate radio" like 3 or 4 times to makes sure we understood...
also it's got Chris O'Dowd and Rhys Ifans in it... (and o'dowd's awesome coat) how can you go wrong?
I mean it wasn't great, but it wasn't WMOAT... it was just a bit of inconsequential nostalgia nonsense
I officially nominate:
The Ruling Class (1972) starring the great Peter O'Toole
in it...
O'Toole plays the heir to an Earl who accidentally dies in the first 5 min from erotic asphyxiation wearing a tutu
the character is a paranoid schizophrenic who thinks he's jesus so his relatives scheme to get him committed to regain the title
they randomly break into song and dance
after being cured he starts believing he's jack the ripper and kills someone, getting away with it and continuing to be popular in society
it's supposed to be a satire of the English peerage and O'toole was nominated for an oscar
to be fair these things sound like the making of a ridiculously entertaining wtf? movie but an hour into it when you realize that's there's still an hour and a half left... it just doesn't end
honestly just watch these excerpts -- it fools you into thinking this could be a fun movie and then hits you with 2 and a half hours of horribleness

fuck yes....every time that would come up in the tv listing I'd be all "sweet I keep on meaning to see [the horror epidemic movie with Cillian Murphy]" and then I get [whiny Sandra Bullock goes to rehab]
yes I was gonna nominate Gigantic... trying way to hard to be an indie film... was also gonna nominate One Hour Photo but then the rules got in the way
I highly doubt anyone on the show thought Brazil had no distinct cuisine but realistically in a food competition the easiest/most familiar countries are gonna be picked first
sorry but the three main cuisines emphasized in culinary school = France, Italy, Spain and most chefs these days are familiar with good Mexican food, the fact that China/India are huge with numerous distinct cuisines within them (not to mention the fact that it's easy to attempt them and end up with cheap take out quality food) does more to discourage - you have 5 min to decide what you're going to spend the next 3 hours working on what do you choose a huge complicated cuisine with a billion directions to go in that you've (most likely) spent minimal time studying, or something slightly more boring that's been drilled into your head since day one
Also, does the face that Spain has become trendy somehow disqualify them from being a legitimate cuisine? Because I've been all around Spain (from touristy spots to hole in the wall intimate operations) and I was just as offended by Alex's disaster as you were probably by Stephen's
I'm gonna have to disagree... if you thought that that was the only veg whats-his-face had for his couscous wanting to salvage the usable part is completely understandable...it was uncooked cauliflower as long as you only scoop up the part that didn't touch the ground, wash it off if people are having conniptions, it's clean
saw it... became Team Charlie for all the great lines he had and the fact that really he's the only non crazy one in this thing
laughed at the fact the the line "I'm hotter than you" actually fucking came out of Jacob's mouth (temp wise but still...also disgusted when team jacob clapped)
and was laughing to the point of tears during the whole fight scene with people's heads exploding even to the silence at the end where I felt the hatred and glares of the hundred or so fans in the theatre that were thinking "hey now this is *seriousbiznesstown*" (also seconded that the vampires are extremely flammable now?)
I was surprised that the movie was actually more painful to sit through and badly written than the book...
...also lawl-able Jasper's recockulous southern accent, at least they've improved his hair a bit
Why you ask? because the rest of us talented folks have better things to do than whore ourselves out on crappy bravo competition shows - like working real jobs and not having to pander to ridiculously gimicky challenges
Also yes when everyone freaked out over a pie it was a little unbelievable... Johnny Iuzzini's burn "my grandmother's not a pastry chef but she can make a pie" killed me
alright I'm gonna say it... I'm rooting for Angelo wholeheartedly, partially cause he went to my alma mater (yea CIA... also rooting for Gigliotti - one of our teachers) but mostly cause he genuinely seems to be able to cook well... and his cockiness is nothing compared to most of the jackhole fratboys in the industry
that being said and this being bravo/topchef I'm sure by next week i will be eating my words
it doesn't help that young mib looks like taxi driver era jodie foster

the best explanation I've heard is that the mother was the smoke monster (how she could kill a village and destroy a well) and was tired of the bullshit so had mib kill her (before she could speak no less) and then mib took over her role when jacob threw em in the hole
don't wanna be the naysayer here but really? (with seth and amy) am I the only one who got a little tired of the "old lady unexpectedly saying sexual innuendos repeatedly" by like the second sketch?
I enjoyed all the old throwbacks but nothing really made me lawl this ep, I mean the digital short was amusing but it was no Cherry Battle
I believe he's referring to this comment http://videogum.com/163472/kids-are-not-single-ladies-the-darndest-things/animals-on-film/comment-page-1/#comment-7264091
