I could watch that classy lady in the background pick her earwax/fix her earring/turn up her hearing aid all day...

I am just waiting for a The Room Facebook Status Update Script now. In order for the internet/pop culture cycle to be complete. -------------- Johnny is now friends with Mark. Johnny has added Denny as a relative. Johnny is engaged to Lisa. "Johnny is: in love with his Lisa so much." "Johnny is: going to take a nap." Johnny just poked Lisa. Lisa just poked Johnny back. "Mark is: very busy." "Lisa is: not in love with him anymore." Lisa gave Johnny a drink. "Johnny is: tired and wasted." Johnny just poked Lisa. Lisa just poked Johnny back. "Mark is: Johnny's best friend." "Lisa is: attractive, beautiful even." Mark just poked Lisa. Lisa just poked Mark back. Mark and Lisa are in a relationship. Mark and Lisa ended their relationship. Mike and Michelle are now in a relationship. Mike gave Michelle "Chocolate." Mike just poked Michelle. "Denny is: kind of retarded, and needs some money." Chris-R just slapped Denny. Chris-R just changed his address to "Jail." "Claudette is: dying." Johnny gave Lisa flowers. Johnny gave Lisa a dress. Lisa just poked Mark. Mark just poked Lisa back. Lisa and Mark are now in a relationship. "Johnny is: going to record everything." Michelle commented on Lisa's relationship status: "Your point of view is so different from mine." Denny just sent Lisa a request using I Just Need a Cup of Sugar Application. "Mike is: in a bit of a tragedy right now." Lisa invited 30 people to the event "Johnny's Surprise Birthday Party." "Lisa is: getting "ready"" Denny just became a fan of "Football" Mark, Denny, and 24 others are attending the event "Johnny's Surprise Birthday Party." Peter is not attending the event "Johnny's Surprise Birthday Party." "Mark is: just sitting up here, thinking." "Johnny is: expecting!" "Steven is: sitting on an atomic bomb about to go off." Lisa and Mark are now in a relationship. "Johnny is: fed up with this world." Lisa just changed her address to "Mark's Apartment." Johnny and Lisa ended their relationship. "Johnny is: sorry, God." Lisa and Mark ended their relationship. Mark commented on his changed relationship status "You can drop off the earth. And that's a promise." "Denny is: heartbroken." -------------- I have seen this movie too many times.

Gabe, first of all, thanks a whole bunch. The site is amazing. Not even joking. I'd concur with the above-mentioned suggestion to edit comments once they've been submitted. I think a 'delete' function would take the fun out of it, though, as everyone loves a barbed witticism thrown at them for an innocent grammatical mishap, right? It would also be handy to have the private message/extended profile setup, but without this turning into videodatingforumgum. And possibly a notification when you receive replies to your comments? I also miss Mary's recaps, 9Oh21No and all that. And America's Next Top Model. And also, I wish that Mummy and Daddy would get back together, and for a new puppy. That's all. And I promise to be a good monster in 2010 until the end of (two years') time.

Merry Christmas, all! Here's to (at maximum) 2 more to come. (It's actually Boxing Day here in Australia, which is a day to celebrate the shopping bargains left int he wake of the holiday on the previous day. But this is a post FABA)

Awwww, this gets me all nostalgic and Christmassy, looking back on the Best of the Year. So much so, that as my Christmas present to all you monsters, I actually spent an inordinate amount of time going back through these old posts and giving pity upvotes to people whose comments were sitting on a -1. MARIAH CAREY AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR, MONSTERS!

Like, I loved it and all, and I do really hope that 2012 turns out to have just been CGI, so that we can jump on Banshees and fly through the Raveforest and blue ourselves in the future. But can we all admit that Sam Worthington (yay for fellow Australians!) had the worst American accent in the history of Australians pretending to have American accents (Oh. Not so much yay.) (But yay for half of Hollywood turning out to have been Aussies!).

I would say "I'm the new intern" automatically, due to the credentials illustrated by my Avatar(TM), but I live in Australialand. And I like to walk around NOT wearing underwear all day, so I wouldn't be much good at working remotely. I love how we all feel the need to treat this as a Facebook Event wall and list all the cool reasons we have for not being able to attend, namely having a life or being somewhere awesome. "Awww, Gabe! I wouldn't have missed it for the world except I actually am missing it for an around-the-world tour ? I'll be in the Greek Islands that day with a bunch of friends, partying it up so hard. But maybe when I get back from Tokyo the week after we can catch up for coffee or an iChat or not at all! XOXoxoxoxoxoxo"

NO SHE IS NOT CRAZY!!!!!U LEVE HER ALOEN!!! SHE"S IS A ROLL MODLE TO YOUNG BLACK WOMAN EVERYWERE OK??!?!?! HER SHOW HAS CHANGED SO MANY PEOPLES LIVES 4 THE BETTER AND SHE? Oh, wait, what? Oh, OpERA. For a second there I thought you was crazy racist...

I mean, apart from the obvious 'Battleships. Will. Sink', I am sickened by the tagline prospects...

I'm really sorry, but I actually couldn't read past the first sentence for a full 30 seconds. At that point I wanted to send everybody to jail, including me. And I guess this is a sad story in the sense that I then read the rest of this and it almost/(only?) got worse.

"What exactly do the sweatpants accelerate, master?"

"A fan has a rare moment with Kristen Stewart, locking eyes with her for two full, silent minutes, and discovers that Edward Cullen is not the only one unable to telepathically read anything in the young starlet's mind."

A Pelican Will Be Brief.

A Shopaholic Will Confess.

Or 'Men Will Have Childen.' Or 'Children Will be Had by Men.' Eww.... WORST new party game...

Excuse me, Mr. Video Gum, I'm not exactly sure how all the internet surfing is done on the world web, but I would like to know where I can apply to upvote this article? How would I go about paying you? Do you have credit card facilities, and may I please have all your babies? Thanking you, The People.

I also think that 'While You Were Sleeping' should win a prize for the most jarring final sentence use of the title. "Peter once asked me when I fell in love with Jack. And I told him - it was while you were sleeping." Uh, YEAH. We know. That WAS the plot of the film. And he did know about that as soon as you confessed it at your wedding ceremony and broke up with him. Idiot.

Mum, Dad, I know this might come as a shock to you, but I have some serious Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen to make to you.

P.S. Yay Aussies! Comraderiegum.

But who watches the Matchstick Men? I might be done for the night now.

Man, I hate being crippled. I can't wait to get me into one of those new Avatar: The Last Airbender suits.

It's a bird. It's a plane! It's a Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow!

Most importantly, Topher Grace has been cast, by unanimous decision from everyone ever, to play Clark Gable in the upcoming biopic that's totally happening. Released December 2012. (Gunshot?)

Dairy of a Mad Black Woman

Man, the polls are heating up. It's like commentating on a horse race. Go Seabiscuit! 47%.

Also, I feel that 'Topher Grace' is the one exception to the rule that the more you look at/write out a word, the stranger it appears to be, and the word itself seems to lose meaning through repetition. Also, 27%!

I agree, That One (Holy crap, I seem to be replying to you a lot? Like maybe I'm stalking you on here? Which will be weird when we meet at the Annual Videogum Music Awards that are a real thing and it turns out I'm really a 16-year-old girl who only pretended to be a 30-year-old man online, and you are a 13-year-old boy pretending to be a 42-year-old woman who pretended to be a 27-year-old man online). I think Topher Grace needs to know about the Topher Grace articles and images here on videogum, and Topher Grace I think the way that we can Topher it Grace is through Grace the Topher use of Gracewords Topher Grace so that Google can Grace it up in the resTophers. Topher Grace.

Okay, so I went actually crazy with this game over the weekend. There were so many that made me Lots of Love Out Loud. Especially Sarah Silverman's. Who knew, right? Anyway, here are my contributions: Sleeping with the Enema Jews Righteous Kiln My Sister's Beeper Seven Bears in Tibet Nick and NORAD's Infinite Playlist The Pursuit of Sappiness Loogie Nights Cake Fear Snot Falling on Cedars Massage in a Bottle A Beautiful Mine Dawn of the Deaf The Long Piss Goodnight Bunny Games The Secret Wife of Bees Speed Lacer Lars and the Seal Girl Lady in the Wafer Sleeping Beatty American Pee Swallow Hal All Pogs Go to Heaven I Love You, Nan We Wore Soldiers Burp After Reading Danny the Champiñón of the World James and the Leach Kill Biel And the ones I've stolen: Womb Raider Beauty and the Yeast Back to the Suture

Holy crap, That One, YES! Summer Catch has got to be the worst thing. I had the misfortune of being subjected to this movie endlessly on repeat on a 10-hour overnight bus ride (which subsequently felt like a 14,000-hour bus ride. With Jessica Biel driving. To hell.) and have never been able to tolerate even the mention of Prinze's name... Mind you, everyone was pretty ridiculous in that movie. I also seem to vaguely remember a scene involving Janeane Garafolo chasing a stripper cop through an airport? Oh, god, Gabe. Do this movie... Maybe we can also jump on the Jessica Biel tangent (cause there is one of those, you guys) and do Stealth? Or are we done with Action movies now/forever?

No, no, That One. No crazy scientific principles are being messed with here. It's completely normal. You just went on to videogum.com to comment, and got out of the elevator on the wrong level of the WORLD TRADE CENTRE.

This makes me sad in my heart, seeing Ashley Judd in this. Also - Derek Thompson / Dwayne Johnson?? I guess they didn't want to confuse him too much on set when they didn't refer to him by his real name, so they just altered it slighty?

I was about to write up a list of suggestions, starting with 'Wacky Wednesday', when I had this horrible sinking feeling in my all of me that somehow it would actually get made, and it would be a Dreamworks picture with Steve Carrell in it as all of the (CGI) babies in the stroller, released Christmas 2012. I thus withdraw my comments from this thread, in the vain hope that by not writing them down, they might never come to be. You all owe me one.

Can the most famous film star in the world fall for Hugh Grant?

In the Year of Darkness, 2029, the rulers of this planet devised the ultimate plan. They would reshape the Future by changing the Past. The plan required something that felt no pity. No pain. No fear. Something unstoppable. So pretty much just a machine based on Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I think the world might also implode if/when Chris Brown's latest song is incorporated into the soundtrack. BARFatron.

Holy crap, you guys. It's even worse than we thought. 2012 IS BEING BROUGHT FORWARD A YEAR!

Sorry for asking an actual question without extra helpings of sardonic wit or sarcasm, but in 2012, won't Schwarzenegger have finished his stint as governor? I thought you could only do 4 years in thart role? How does the system work, exactly? (Forget it, Aussie, it's Americalandtown) Or maybe that's part of the horror that the Mayans predicted? He would run for governor again? So confusing...

Julie, I think you might be missing the most important/overly pretentious title for China Grill: 'Kohl'. You know, like the colour black, black like the colour of coal? So hip.

My favourite new typing error: "But Vanessa has been doing some digging into her boyfriend at the registrar's office (naturally)" ... is what Gabe said?

Maybe Gabe could do 'The Number 23'? Wait, what's that you say? We've already covered that one? Oh. Well, maybe he could do it again. Cause you know, 23 twice, is 23 + 23, which if you look at it, 2 + 3 = 5 + 2 + 3 = 10, which is the 1st two-digit number in sequence, so + 1, equals 11, which when split into 1 and 1, and added to 2, but subtracted from 3 is 32, which is WHOA, YOU GUYS - The Number 23, BACKWARDS! Basically what I'm getting at here is that I think that movie probably deserved to end the hunt and receive the award. Mind you, I will obstinately continue to nominate FOOL'S GOLD. Worst. McConaughey. Of. All. Time.
