Cake, one of these days you're going to have to take a minute and explain the whole Donna Darko thing to me. I'm out in the cold on this one. Also,
Donna Darko
Very valid. My partner despised this movie as well, for many of the same reasons you list. I think I wanted to like it, and I saw an early screening in a packed house. This is a communal film, and I might very well have felt differently about it had I experienced it with a more critical eye. And I did really want to see that tentacle up Brody's ass.
I'm right here with you. And I've heard this from half the people that saw this movie, there's a real hatred there. I enjoyed it, and I now wonder if I saw the same cut everyone else did.
Granted, it's been a while since I saw this, but I don't remember the writing detracting from the Laffs or the uncomfortable squirms. What did you dislike about this movie? I thought it did a good job being funny, gross, and silly...
C'mon guys, this is a genre piece. It's funny, weird, gross, stupid, etc. because it's a dumb horror film. It's a B-movie. Interrogating it like Gabe just did is like complaining that Grindhouse was missing a reel. Or saying that famous actors ruin movies because they are recognizable as famous actors. Do I stand alone here?
As for the blog entries titled “Hey, What’s Up with Topher Grace?”, the actor responds jokingly, “Yeah, they have a column about me, and it’s written by me. That’s what people don’t know ... I think it’s ironic because no one could possibly care about what’s going on with me.
Topher looks away and smiles to himself. He sips his complimentary spring water. "Ironic", he thinks to himself, 'That's a good word. That's a good word I can use. I use good words.'
Then, taken as if inspired by the breath of inspiration itself, Topher Grace replaces the glass on the coffee table and returns to an earlier thought.
"Horrible," he says, picking up the pre-approved interview material ETOnline had provided, composed entirely of Videogum.com printouts. "Probably the most pulpy, overwrought, melodramatic meta-commentary on celebrity culture I've ever e-read on i-blog. Now THAT'S irony for you... THAT's irony."
Topher Grace exhales and sips again from his spring water. In his mind, he's high-fiving himself, but not awkwardly, very coolly, as though there were another Topher Grace to be his high-five partner. He assures himself, "This inverview- Good Stuff. Good Words. Good interviews. That's what I give.'
Very Sandlot. Very Joke.
And can we agree that this should be our human mascot?

Ugh, why did I click on that link?!? That was a dark time, oy vey. But yes, scotch and back-pats for all. Everyone okay with Glenfiddich? My bar took a pretty serious hit this week.
Did anyone else find that "No Strings Attached" line a bit out of place? Like, you're selling child abandonment like a auto loan deferral? Anyone? Bueller?
No Strings Attached 2: Miracle at the Southwest Precinct
I read the headline as "Please don't throw your baby in the GARAGE" at first and I kept thinking, "A garage is pretty strange place for a baby... Must be a trampoline accident video..." The reality of the situation is both better and worse.
"Have you been holding something back from me? Like a DESSERT?"
"Oh, I have a VERY special dessert, come on over here."
I don't know how I'm typing right now because my EYES JUST EXPLODED.
