Oof. I respectfully disagrizzle. All throughout that football trailer I kept waiting for the thinly veiled religious themes to come in, because it looked to me like such a Soul Surfer-quality movie. "...But then I figured out that what's REALLY important to me is my family and Jesus!"

Oh Man, you guys HAVE to watch this. It is the ultimate humblebrag. The best part is when she "accidentally" slips in that "many people" have told her she was brace but then "corrects" herself to just "people" because "that's such a jerk thing to say." LOLOLZ!

Oh, and badideajeans, I've been meaning to say that I also love your dog's face (I'm assuming). Is he part beagle? He looks a lot like this one beagle mix I know, who is possibly the sweetest, most calmly affectionate dog I've ever met.

You guys are making me sad! But not in the totally bad way? I just needed to say that in spite of how my earlier comments may come across, I don't hate Uggie in the least. I thought he was very charming and dapper in The Artist. I simply connect more with Cosmo because of his face and his shagginess and his seemingly pensive nature. A lot of this of course is based on his character in Beginners, but come on, some things you just can't fake. I just feel like he and I we would be great pals IRL.

That's awesome. And don't think I don't have my own Save Pogo Campaign going on. (I've posted pictures of the dog all over the house with messages like "Please save me.") But my landlords are rigid. Like, EASTERN EUROPEAN IMMIGRANTS rigid. They are just not taught to love animals outside of their pragmatic usefulness over there.

What a great story! I didn't know any of that! (No sarcasmo.) You guys, I just want to say that I am going through some tough pooch-related times right now, because there is this PERFECT dog (and Cosmo lookalike) at a shelter that I want to make my own, but I cannot because my landlords (read: parents) won't allow it. They keep referencing the future "when I'll own my own house" as some sort of mollifying argument for their rigidity. Whatever. This dog is so perfect that I'm afraid I won't even want another dog when that time comes.

It's like, where Uggie boringly barked for help to save George from that fire, Cosmo would have just been like, "His death was as poetic as his pictures."

I just want in on record that I would take Cosmo's depression/existential angst/bittersweet on-screen presence over Uggie's tricks and perfectly choreographed cuteness any day.

I'm very ambivalent towards Angelina's weight. Because on the one hand, the sight of her does make me cringe internally, but on the other hand, I feel like ragging on skinny people is the new ragging on fat people, and that's not progress.

Probably the most irritating thing about Sandler is that he is self-aware (see: Funny People) but continues to make his garbage movies for no other reason than $$.

Ugh, seriously a MALL tour? I had my suspicions/fears, but now I KNOW this movie's gonna suck. No good movie ever gets promoted in a mall. And yet I still hold out a little hope that it'll be AWESOME and that Woody Harrelson's plastic Barbie wig will somehow "work."

OK, this has gone on too long, and I have to ask: What is with so many people here calling it "commentating/commentator"? Is that a Videogum inside joke that I'm too much of a sophisticated newborn baby to know about? #ExtraSyllableAnger

Absolutely! I didn't say I was BLAMING men for being a tiny part sexist asshole (in my limited perception, natch). And I never hold it against anyone of either gender if they say/do something in an "honest mistake" capacity but at least show signs of openness to discussion and correction in future behavior. Just like I would hope others wouldn't judge me too harshly for being a little bit prejudiced (see above) but BEING AWARE that that is something that I need to work on and do.

I'm sure no one is still around to even answer my question at this point, but did no one else think that Lori got kinda good in a characterly way in the last scene when she was trying to get Grimes to, I don't know, what? Kill Shane? I mean, whatever was going on there was terrible and Lori has certainly always been terrible In Her Own Way, but I feel like that scene was Lori being interesting/crafty-terrible-on purpose in a Lady Macbeth way or, you know, something something, I read books!

I love Mary as a character and hate her as a person but not so much for her snobbery/entitlement as for her cruel treatment of Edith! Edith is terrible too, but something tells me Edith's terribleness is more reactionary.
