I've reported on this before, but it is relevant. I've been to a party where Robert Pattinson was in attendance and I found him to be a really nice fellow. He even paid for my cab. Watching this video does make me glad there wasn't an acoustic guitar around, but I'm still on team Robert Pattinson. Are his movies any good? Are they, fellas?
I found the first half of the episode really tepid. That's a good word for it. I was getting antsy about it and almost turned it off, but then, for some reason, it kind of clicked around 15 minutes in and I was laughing at jokes. So, fingers crossed, it's smooth sailing from here on out. I still don't get Britta and Troy, but whatever.
I think she uses the fact that she can be kind of funny-looking to great effect. I disagree that it's poorly written. It's a sitcom, so "meandering, arbitrary storylines that often go nowhere, peripheral characters who are more or less cartoons" are part of the deal.
In Elephant, they play "Gerry: The Video Game" where they walk around the desert blowing Gerrys away with machine guns. It was a very funny inside joke for the 30 of us that saw Gerry in a depressing movie.
It's way problematic. The idea originally was that normal citizens would be elected to congress and then return to their normal lives. George Washington, Albert Einstein and the other founding fathers never dreamed of career politicians, but since Congress would have to vote for term limits, that's what we got.
I was about to say memes have jumped the shark, but dang it, I like this one. I think it was the wall-humping that melted my icy, cynical heart. In high school, we invented a game called "Dance or Die" where, if a bunch of us were in a car, the driver would take his hands off the wheel and shout "dance or die!" and he or she couldn't put their hands back on the wheel until everyone in the car was dancing. A great game, trust me. I'd turn it into a meme, but I don't want to be responsible for all the subsequent death.
I enjoy this picture. I bet he'd know how to fix that little guy right up. (And, yes, it's male. A woman doctor is almost as ridiculous as a dog doctor. Come on.)
In some places, they cut those giant webs down and use them as fishing nets. Not a job I want, I can tell you. I saw these when I was in Madagascar years ago and they scared the bejeezus out of me when I first spotted one. But, after a while, you get used to it. It's the spiders' world, you realize. We're just here to crap our pants and stay out of their way.
Well, it was a snowstorm, so there weren't any people on the road at the time I started the maneuver. By the time I was good and stuck, it seemed everyone and his brothah (Boston accent) needed to get to Central Square.
In 1998, I single-handedly shut down Boston. Well, a giant blizzard helped, but I was the one who decided to go out in my van, then try a u-turn in the middle of Mass Ave (the only sort of plowed street at the time), and get stuck, blocking the entire road for a good 45 minutes. Traffic kept backing up and no one got out to help me, so it was also partially their fault too, gosh dang Massholes.
