I watched My So-Called Life and realized that teenage me wasn't Jordan Catalano like I had always thought but actually Brian Krakow. I feel you, Chet. #gethazed
Hi Steph! I'm glad you posted here because I've wanted to tell you for a little while that I was lucky enough to be allowed to read a galley proof of your book recently, because I am a Very Important Media Professional™, and it's so, so good. I wolfed it down in about two obsessive sittings and I honestly really enjoyed it. I'm going to be buying ten copies when it's released and giving them to all my friends (with eight to spare!) All Monsters should do the same too.
The one where Angela gets a zit. Sharon is currently very upset with her boyfriend for letting her be voted Best Hooters in a school poll! I would be too.
I'm actually watching My So-Called Life this very second because I'm very adult & well-adjusted & have zero lingering regrets about the way I spent my own teenage years and now I turn on my laptop and now here's an article about Jordan GD Catalano on my screen apparently wanting me to make my entire life about him. I half-expected this from Leto, Kelly, but I never expected it from you.
Mexican Blake Lively looks exactly like American Blake Lively. Are we sure it's not actually Blake Lively? I know the rumours that she stopped dating Weinstein, but her career can't have suffered so badly from it that she has to reprise her one big role in a foreign language adaptation... can it??

This link didn't open in a separate tab. I'm going to need an essay from Gabe explaining the differences between him and the global face of evil, because right now, I'm not so sure....
I feel exactly the same about her. She's likeable and talented, but she's never really done a project I can single out as being a particularly worthwhile thing to watch her in. I had to look up what the name of the phone movie I saw her in was and her page does seem to suggest she's been working steadily, but again, mostly things to be avoided which explains why I didn't already know.
Her ex-band is very good. If you take away nothing else from this in-depth analysis of her career, you should give them a listen. Then maybe her sacrifices will all have been worth it.
1) Shannyn Sossamon is getting film roles again? This is great news. She's great. She quit music to focus on her acting career and then suddenly her band got popular and the last thing I saw her act in was One Missed Call, that terrible remake of a Japanese film about scary murder phone calls. Speeeaaakkiiing offff (great segue.)
2) Ahaha, The Call is produced by WWE Films. Somehow that seems so perfect. But the murderer doesn't seem to be played by Stone Cold Steve Austin? What gives?
It was great! I remember it was negatively compared to the first Hangover at the time, but HTTM deserved all the praise that that movie got instead. The similarities of them being irresponsible man-children on an R-rated vacation ended the moment Time Machine showed there were actual consequences to their actions (which, duh, it's a time travel comedy, that would have been very hard to avoid.)
Also, funny. Also, Lizzy Caplan.
Oh, definitely. Except for this one, although I think it manages to be the exception only by including Bootleg Garfield:

Hi, Beerbong here with a few things to say.
First of all, LOVE the video, obviously. Put it on a giant rope swing and I'm in love.
SECONDLY, Jurassic Park is not a very good pun. It's probably supposed to sound like Jurassic Park, I guess, but it doesn't. It just shares some letters. Doesn't rhyme, not good pun.
On a related note, I needed a lighter one time and the first one I found to buy in the first store I went into had the Jurassic Park logo, only with a picture of a pot leaf instead of a dinosaur and it read, "Cannabis Park." Also not a good pun on the surface, but it was SO far from sounding anything like the thing it was parodying that it became almost a sort of genius pun? Broke in two days though. Not the kind of high quality product I expected from the creators of such a high quality concept.
I'm thankful for you guys, Goop Magazine and Don Draper's penis, which you are all now free to imagine I have photoshopped falling on to Gwyneth's Paltrow's fork.
Ever seen a drunk 19th century writer blush? If you gave it to me, I'd have to give it to facetaco for setting me up so beautifully, and he's a Republican so he's not allowed to win things (nailed it.) Let's all just share. Number 1 goes to all Monsters everywhere for being so impossibly good at commenting all the time. What a week.
I was very ashamed that I didn't get to contribute the traditional eyepatch/facial hair/swastika graffiti on the ScarJo post earlier this week, so I made you all this:

Have a weird Friday night, Monsters. Let's dance.
Child actors are always so hard to judge. He seemed pretty good in About a Boy, but when he returned to the screen a few years later, all grown up, and still had the exact same mannerisms and stunted-10-year-old delivery, it became very obvious how little acting was actually involved in that performance.
Lemons can move down hills, while hills can't move anywhere at all, so Team Lemon is going places. But lemons can't roll up a hill, so a hill will always be above a lemon. Team Hill it is.
I thought JJ Abrams was already directing the new Star Wars movie? Hahahaha, I kid, I kid. Stick around, folks. This and more great jokes only on the Videogum comments section. Characters Welcome.
Didn't his killing of the guy seal the little girl's fate? It's good that it was carried through. Like I said, I only started, I couldn't bear to finish. Crazed and bad is fine, just not as a guy who is clearly positioned to be rooted for. The fact that the worry is that he'll be in trouble if caught, rather than the fact that he SHOULD be caught, is sort of my problem with it. It smacked too much of violent vigilante wish fulfillment, like I'm expected to be happy when criminals are just straight up murdered because they're bad and undeserving of any and all rights. Which I personally can't be.
Well, Tom Waits describes himself with that exact phrase in Goin' Out West, so maybe she just means he's equally as handsome as a famously grizzled recovering alcoholic? Maybe not so generous.
