C'mon! We all know it was the media and the paparazzi and all that jazz that killed Michael Jackson. No person can put up with that much pressure for their entire life without having some sort of mental breakdown over it. But since the media won't blame itself, they start grasping at straws.
Sometimes I feel like the only kid around who doesn't like "On a Boat" or a majority of the Lonely Island stuff. I mean, the videos are funny the first time around, but then they are accompanied by months and months of every douche in America thinking they are the fourth member of Lonely Island and that they too can be funny and relevant as long as they keep quoting the latest song ad nasuem until the next one rolls out.
I think Kevin Smith should have his title as King of the Geeks taken away for that bastardization of "pwn."
I've seen it "pwn" and I've also seen "p0wn" but never "pOwn" with clearly a capital "O" instead of a zero. That's like someone's dad was trying to speak geek.
"Hey fellas, I sure did pwan my wife last night. I'm so L3T that it makes everyone RUFL"
This story is only sort of interesting because it's a well known fact now that Screech came out with that porno movie a few years back.
I'll admit, I downloaded and watched it. I've seen Screech's penis. I've seen Screech give a girl a Dirty Sanchez. I have seen things I cannot unsee, things which will be burned into the back of my brain for years to come.
EXACTLY!
Corey Feldman is a complete whore for attention.
Years ago when Michael Jackson was brought up on child molesting allegations, Feldman was all gung-ho to leap at the opportunity to be relevant again by bashing his former friend to the media. Now the man dies and he DRESSES UP LIKE HIM in an attempt to do it all again. It's like, who does he think he's fooling?
Is it too late to switch it up so it was Corey Feldman that died last week instead of Michael Jackson? I guarantee there would be less media saturation to deal with.
That's what is kind of upsetting about the ads actually. In order to save money (I'm guessing) they let go of Lindsay, but if they actually ran ads that weren't counter to what they say in the blogs, maybe she'd still be here. Why would we click on an ad for Entourage or a VH1 Show when the blog continually rips both of these things a new asshole? Wouldn't the website make more money (and be able to hire Lindsay back because of it) if it ran ads its readers actually wanted to click on (or at least for things we're not being told flat out suck?)
Yes, I have.
Question for you: DID YOU READ MY FUCKING REPLY?
I said if live-action films are gunna look this CG, just CG the whole movie NOT that CGI Animated movies are crap.
Next time, use your eyes to read instead of your ass.
I think I'm starting to hate CGI.
I mean, the Chipmunks don't look anything close to a real thing, they look like walking cartoon characters. I don't believe for a second that anyone, in real life or in movie life, could reach out and touch those characters and grab something substantial. If it looks like animation, why not just do the whole damn movie that way? Same thing with Transformers or any other movie where the majority of the characters and action are made with computers. I'd rather just see the whole thing done that way then to have them shoot shots of some school's floor so they can make their fake-looking protagonists barely maintain the illusion that they are living creatures with souls.
Plus, CGI looks old and terrible fast. That T-Rex puppet in Jurassic Park STILL looks awesome today, but the CGI Bracheosaurus from the beginning of the film looks like someone drew with colored pencils directly onto the film.
Are they going to include the part where Mark Zuckerburg totally ripped off Facebook from some other Harvard guys? Or how Facebook is basically one big info-farm for advertisers? Are they going to film the part where Facebook becomes lame because your mom and all of her friends start adding you?
Nope, it'll probably just star Shia LeBouf being a douche for 90-minutes.
I'm not trying to defend "TF2: Rise of the Worst" in anyway but consider that in a bad economy this movie helped to create some American jobs. I live in Detroit and as the car companies fall, there is a lot of talk about movie studios opening up here. The first Transformers did a lot of filming in Detroit (and then said it was supposed to be LA)
So yeah, it's mindless expensive entertainment, but as long as America is the number one place that produces this schlock, and as long as people are willing to buy said schlock, then at least it's helping to keep some people employed. Crappy movies and TV shows are like... America's sole export at this point.

I know! Season One of Weeds was pretty decent and fun, but once she started running a grow house while dating DEA agents, it was all out the window. The show tried to demonize pot too much at that point. When she was just a housewife dealing dime bags it was interesting, but then they had to go and make her some crazy drug czar for no reason.
No, keep rocking to your Tegan and Sara (love them as well...), keep dressing up in drag and keep doing whatever it is that makes you feel good. I'm not trying to crap on that. If someone is a flamboyant queen, then that's just how they're going to be and trying to change that would not only be unnecessary, it'd be wrong.
I'm just saying, don't get your panties in a bunch when a straight guy picks up on all of these stereotypes that gay people themselves help to perpetuate and uses them to make straight people feel uncomfortable. If he were actually gay, you'd call him a hero for getting in the face of rednecks and making them deal with his sexuality. But since he's not, it's somehow this big bad thing.
THANK YOU! You have no idea how hard it is to get that very point across to (gay) people. A lot of people see it as being very black and white; either you have "gay pride" or you're self-hating. I get shit from other gays all the time because I don't know which Scissor Sisters song is playing. When I first saw the Equal Rights Campaign sticker, the blue with yellow equal sign, I didn't know what it was so I asked a gay guy who was wearing one. But of course, instead of just saying what it was, he berated me saying "Oh, we're going to take your gay card away." I said "Fine, but I'll still keep sucking cock anyway."
I think pride was a good thing in the 70s and 80s when people had to get loud and proud, but nowadays homosexuality is becoming more and more accepted. However gay people still MAKE themselves out to be the minority by celebrating how different they are from everyone. It's hard for a straight person to know how to approach gay people because they make it such a point to show how different they are, while asking to be treated the same.
See, the thing is, you're all so ready to turn over and let every day be straight pride day. I live every day of my life as a gay person who isn't ashamed of who I am. But that doesn't mean I'm running up and down the streets in drag, riding a giant phallus float telling people "Accept me or else!" I just do my own thing and, oh, and kiss boys as well.
By saying I have to "take pride for being a minority" is saying that I have to revel in otherness, that somehow me simply existing as a gay person isn't enough, that I have to make it a point to single myself out and shine a spotlight down and say "Look at me, look at me! I like boys!" when the same isn't expected or asked of straight people.
I'm not proud to be gay, I'm proud to be a well-rounded human being who just happens to be gay.
No, you ignorant bastard, straight people do not "flaunt" their heterosexuality in public. But gay people DO. There's no such thing as "straight pride" where straight guys dress up in sports uniforms and ride around on floats shaped like giant, golden breasts to signify they like to fuck women.
But for some reason, gay people do that very thing. So I can get it where "mark" is coming from about being all in your face about being gay, because it happens. The entire concept of "gay pride" is about getting into people's face and making a stink about being gay. And, sadly, if you don't like it, you're marked as homophobic.
But I'm gay and I don't like it, so where does that leave me?
I'll also throw up my queer approval for this movie. I'm gay and I've found Bruno to be funny since "Da Ali G Show."
First of all, homophobes are too homophobic to see this movie. I worked at a video store when Borat came out and rednecks hated it, didn't get it or just plain ignored it. I doubt they'll be coming out in droves to laugh at gays.
Second of all, sure SBC is potraying a gay stereotype, but how is this any worse then the ACTUAL living, walking gay stereotypes you see all over TV and movies nowadays anyway? Isn't "Queer Eye" the biggest gay stereotype ever? I mean I'm gay and completely clueless when it comes to dressing myself, decorating a home or finding the right hair product. If actual gay people are going to go around claiming to be representatives of the culture at large and act like complete nancy-boy stereotypes, I think I can afford SBC the same right.
When I worked at a video store, Wild Hogs was the hottest rental for nearly three months. The first month it was completely rented out, but for the next two it was just really really popular. People would walk into the door and just blurt out "Wild Hogs?" in my general direction with their tongues hanging and the money in their pocket burning up.
I'm sure it'd be the same deal with this movie.
I worked a video store when this movie came out and that song played in the trailer. I had no idea it was Eddie Vetter, however, I thought it was Adam Sandler.
Thank you for clearing that up for me!
One time, I made this video for Youtube of Sailor Moon having a bad acid trip, hallucinating talking flowers who start rapping in sync to "Up in Here" by DMX. It was hilarious, but was taken down immediately cause of the music choice. I'm like "DMX is in JAIL... for the 6th time. Who cares if I use his song, he's not even a functioning member of society at this point!"
Enjoy your freedom while it lasts, Mr. X
Okay, you know, I can totally get behind someone trying to take financial advantage of Twilight fans, because I mean hey, they make it easy. But a cruise? A CRUISE? Do the people involved know their target demographic AT ALL?
Has there ever been a Star Trek cruise? I mean arguably, that franchise has had YEARS of obsessed fans dropping money left and right. A cruise where everyone pretends they are on the Enterprise with ship employees wearing Trek uniforms and some psuedo-Trek celebs on board for photo-ops and autographs sounds like a good a idea. Until you bring in the fact that Trek fans don't LIKE the beach or cruises or you know...sunlight. I'm not going to say it's the same for Twilight fans, but it's the same for Twilight fans. There's no internet on a cruise ship.
Unless this is some ploy to get all the Twilight fans onto one boat and then sink it in the middle of the ocean.
Aw man, this clip cut the end off of the skit! At the end, Garcia comes in with a winning ticket just to politely inform them that he's going to take a vacation to see Alaska and then he'll be back to work. After the crazy theatrics of everyone else, it's even funnier to see him be so genial and low key about the whole thing.
I read the outrage before I watched the video, and I'm just not feeling the connection. Yeah she's homeless, yeah it's a little icky, but FOD have provided her with an e-mail address. How's she going to check her e-mail if she's homeless? They're clearly hooking her her with some benefits and giving her an outlet to cash in on her 15 minutes of fame.
And really, isn't cashing in on your 15 minutes of fame really what America is all about?
I feel so overwhelmed, I've never see a web fad take off with the tenacity of Twitter and when it jumps the shark (it was born in midair over the shark) it will jump higher and further than any other.
Ugh, its terrible how right you are. If this were to happen, it'd just be a way to open the doors to allow shit like that from occurring. "Well if Jamie Foxx can play Frank Sinatra, why can't Julia Roberts play Rosa Parks?"
I swear to god, the cast of the Cosby Show reunites like every week. It has really begun to lost its specialness. I mean, just a few years ago I remember seeing a big Cosby Show reunion on prime time TV. The headline shouldn't be "Cosby Show Cast Reunites After 25 Years" it should be "Cosby Show Cast Reunites After a Couple of Months"
I KNOW! At first I thought he hadn't even stabbed him. At first I thought the knife bent like if you were stabbing Superman. I was all excited, until Jacob fell to the ground all dying.
NOT FAIR! I MISS BOBLO ISLAND! You can't go around calling bearded dudes Boblo, Gabe. Call him Beardo instead.
Great Finale and a ton of questions are left to be answered. I can't tell from the pic, but did anyone happen to count the toes on Jacob? He appeared barefoot in the first scene.
The reason I ask is cause the first time we saw the foot statue, someone mentioned how it only had four toes and that's a fact I've been carrying around in my head for a long time. I think it's aliens! FOUR TOED ALIENS. And I think the "they're coming" people are the rest of the aliens. And if Jacob has only four toes...
I've always wondered if the Rob Thomas who made this show as the same Rob Thomas who makes terrible music with Matchbox 20. A quick look at wikipedia would answer it, but I'm lazy.
