NEW GAME TO NUMB THE PAIN: How did you find out about Videogum? I remember it very clearly, actually. I was at Disney World, miserable on the heels of a bad breakup, and one of those Hunt for the Worst Movie of All Time banner ads grabbed my attention. There was a little bit a learning curve but, once I figured it out, this place was an Internet oasis, up to and including my guest blog day. I've met so many cool people who have enriched my online experience through this site, and I learned how to write for the Internet, which is how I got the job I have today, so I guess Videogum got me my current job? I think that's fair to say. How about you guys?
Oh my goodness, this is just very sad.
You don't get 500 million dollars without casting a few enemies.

Am I the only one who thought Gravity was just fine? Like, for cinematography and CGI, yes, all the awards, of course, but it seemed a little slight, and for it to get nominated and not Inside Llewyn Davis seems odd.
I'm trying to decide if $60 is too much to pay to see Neutral Milk Hotel. Thoughts, dear readers?
If conservatives are right and there is indeed some sort of conspiracy to make all men gay, things are off to a swimming start.
Mandela: Long Walk to the Podium
My feelings on Woody Allen as an artist and Woody Allen as a moral human being are polar opposite, so I spent most of the night wrestling the deep moral quandry of whether or not a line was crossed by giving him a drunken, meaningless award.
Good god. Is that how Dlisted writes about all deeply troubled people who seem to making genuine attempts to get their shit together or did Lindsey Lohan steal this blogger's lover?
What we DO know is that he has a mullet. What we DON’T know is: why? WE WILL HAVE TO MULLET OVER
I saw American Hustle and Anchorman 2. I really loved one of them, and the other had some great laffs followed by very long stretches in which I didn't laff at all. Was anyone else sort of shocked by the interracial dinner table scene? It fell prey to one of my least favorite comedy tropes, which is using a racist character to say very racist things, and then expecting us to laugh because, hey, he's a racist so we're laughing at him not at what he says. After the year we've had here, I don't think that logic holds up. Still, basically everything Steve Carell did was a comedic miracle, so it wasn't a waste.
"And while we're on topic, what's this about everyone trying to change Indians into 'Native Americans?'"
The bride should at least consider herself lucky that the band didn't strike up "The Rains of Castamere."
SNL movies are not very good, but I would be open to watching a movie about Beck Bennett's office boss.

While I disagree, I do think it's pretty impressive that Adam Levine has been able to achieve so much despite the formidable challenge of having fucking stupid tattoos.
The Bible says there was two of every kind of animal on the ark but I only see one crowe?
Looks like that's one teacher who really knows how to take young minds for a spin.
Tonight, I'm pumpkin carving with my pals and then we're going to a place called "Nude Karaoke" that almost certainly can't be what it sounds like but I think it might be? Yuck! Also, YOLO! Be safe, everyone! http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/339/6/3/Mod_Wolf_Gif_by_Macropus_Rufus.gif
Legalize Obamacare, they said. It'll be fine, they said.
Stars—they make terrible decisions with their exes just like us!

Help me out here, guys. I'm trying to think of some sort of word that could describe the sort of stinking, sloppy rut the Internet has found itself in. Some sort of nature-y metaphor like a swamp, or a bog or a ...
I believe we're referring to Jack Ryan, but there are an awful lot of Jacks out there. http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/bestandcrazy/21327470/165623/165623_original.gif
I am with you, EK. In the right mood, Fantastic Mr. Fox is my favorite Anderson movie (always excepting Tennenbaums) because the claymation somehow makes the Anderson conceit seem a little less Anderson-y.
Maybe we've talked about this and I missed it, but can we officially give The Mindy Project our Annual Gummy Award for Most Improved Sitcom?
BNPG: Baby Jack Nicholson Movies! The Diaperted
Do you think anyone making The Ring was ever worried their movie title sounded too close to The Thing? I've never seen either of them and I suspect that's why.
Jaden Smith is Noah, and when God tells him to build an ark to save humanity from the earth, Jaden just looks God in the eye and says, "Actually, I think it's the earth who needs saving ...from us." God starts crying. Jaden gets 1000 RT's.
911: Yes, ma'am what's your emergency? Lady: There are some dead bodies in a driveway! Or maybe they're Halloween decorations. 911: Ah, so you'd say that they're ... *beat* 911: Scared stiffs? http://img.exs.lv/tmp/gif_400x243_51f076.gif
Brave (Is What You'd Better Be, Because There Are Ghosts In This House You're At. Not That Being Brave Will Save You Because, When You Think About It, Bravery Is What Screws a Lot of People In Scary Movies. Maybe If They Were a Little More Chicken, They'd Just Leave the House but Then, That Wouldn't Be This Movie, Because It's Called 'Brave.)

Charlie Countryman looks alright, but does anyone else get nervous whenever all the trailer's review quotes come from websites I've never heard of?
I loved this movie and definitely a big part of that is because I'm at the point with my Whedon-ism that I just sort of love all his stuff indiscriminately. But I did love this movie! Lots of LOLz, and it wasn't very scary (which is good for me, because I'm a big fat baby when it comes to scary movies) but it was a little scary. It was the right amount of scary for me.

When asked if he felt like the new Turtles movie was going to put him Under Pressure, Vanilla Ice responded that what he was feeling was completely different.
