Oh jeez you guys-
I work in advertising.
We edited the commercials that the second two baby carrots commercials are making fun of (Wrigley's Cobalt/5 Gum, and Dove Indulgence).
I'm emailing everyone.
OH MAN!
So I work in a commercial post-production facility, and the people who edited that DirectTV ad did so here, and even while they were cutting it they assumed that it was too weird to ever get aired.
This is why, today, whenever someone at my office wants to express pleasure at something, they say, "I JUMP IN EET."
When you start your campaign video by saying that Obama is the worst president ever? That just makes me think that you don't know what Presidents are, or how many of them we've had. We've had a lot! Several of them are OBJECTIVELY worse than our current President!
THE MORE YOU KNOWWWW
I saw a guy on the street this morning wearing a t-shirt that said "SEX POLICE- K-9 DOGGYSTYLE UNIT".
I'm just glad he's out there, keeping the streets safe for doggystyle.
I was less invested in the inception of the idea and more invested in them just surviving/not going into limbo and just completely losing their minds; in fact, one of the more compelling aspects of the movie, for me, was how completely fucked they were. It's interesting to read that people didn't feel like there were consequences for failure, because all I could think about for a long portion of the movie was how terrifying it was that they were pretty much doomed to madness.
Additionally, I also thought Ellen Page's character was grating- I kept wanting to be like, Girl, don't be telling Leonardo his business. Dude has been kicking ass in dreams since you were in short pants.
But I found the plot- and the actual heist element- to be really interesting, and the thing with Cotillard went in a lot of directions I didn't foresee. Add to that some special effects that I felt had a lot of style, and I was a big fan. I'm actually probably going to go and see it again.
Steve, I think part of the reason people are reacting poorly to your comments is that they feel that you are merely being contrary for the sake of it. Why did you find Inception weak sauce? Be specific!
In my office there are always a bunch of freelancers in and out, sitting around on Mac Books looking overly concerned about something, so it would be great if my boss walked in to one of the offices and Gabe was sitting there, hand in chin, staring with intensity at a laptop screen. My boss apologizes for the interruption, leaves, and then the camera pans around and we see that Gabe has just been staring at a picture of a squirrel wearing a catcher's mask for twenty minutes.
Gabe, where in New York do you live (no stalko)? I had heard a couple of reports of brownouts, but I didn't know anyone was without power.
Oh man you should totally just spend the next few days coming to Monsters workplaces and setting up shop in the back office. TAKE YOUR GABE TO WORK DAY 2010
Oh man, remember when he was getting sued for something a couple of years ago, and he came out with some insane powerpoint defense (SEE: http://www.avclub.com/articles/joe-franciss-powerpoint-defense-is-very-convincing,32189/) including this slide?

Wouldn't it be great if the next bullet point said "JOE FRANCIS has a MALICIOUS BRAIN PARASITE."
As the resident "guy-who-makes-up-depressing-theories-about-pop-culture", what if Joe Francis is actually a totally reasonable guy who has some sort of terrible brain parasite? He's like a man on an ether binge- he consciously knows he should not be constantly demanding tits, but the parasite FORCES him. And every now and then the brain bubbles clear and he goes, "LET'S NOT GET MARRIED IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE GAYS," pause, gasp, gasp, "PLEASE, YOU NEED TO KILL ME."
Man, remember when "Passion" came out and people were like, man, Mel Gibson is a little anti-Semitic, and other people defended him, and then it turned out that he was MEGA anti-Semitic, and everyone made that perfect "o" shape with their mouths.
They actually named the remake "Let Me In"? Was "The Right One" deemed a bit too complex for American audiences?
"Let the RIGHT ONE In? Who the fuck is the Right One? No, no, change the name. Just put Me, that works. Let Me In."
I just came up with this EXTREMELY DEPRESSING THEORY where Shaggy and Scooby have that Memento disorder, and every week they think that they're finally going on a road trip with the gang, except they've been driving around for YEARS. Fred, Velma and Daphne only keep the charade going for them.
The great/awful/grawful thing about the "Jersey Shore" Valtrex thing is that it's not a joke. These people legitimately have herpes. And since i think like three of them are from Long Island, it would be more truthful to just call the show "Herpes Shore"
Actually, now that I think about it, don't you think Shaggy and Scooby should be extremely blase about ghosts at this point? I mean, 90% of the time they're just old men, and I believe that at one point in the movies the Gang met fucking Frankenstein. If i was them, and a ghost popped out at me, I'd automatically start looking for the line where the mask joins up with the suit. But no, every week, "GH GH GH GHOOOOOOSTS!!!!"
