True story- I was reading Gravity's Rainbow, but I took a break from it to read the Hunger Games, and so far I regret nothing, fine literature be damned
Maybe Beverly is good at cooking food, but even aside from her relentless crying, I've been rooting against her ever since the time where they were cooking for the Mexican girl's birthday and everyone is like OK here is a large variety of Mexican foods that will please a large crowd of Mexicans and that the Mexican girl herself has admitted to liking very much and Beverly sees this and lands on "umm....shortribs! that's it! You, other chef! Get me three jars of kimchi right now! The ones with the red lady on the front!" There's a time and place for kimchi, Beverly. Figure it out
Remember that time when they interviewed MIA and everyone thought the article just ravaged her because she was talking about the third world and their plight but at the same time because the interview took place in a restaurant MIA ordered a plate of truffle fries to eat and the interviewer concluded in his or her piece that "oh MIA is eating truffle fries so she is clearly disconnected from those poor Sri Lankans back home and is thus a hypocrite in everything she does."? Truffle fries are only like 5 bucks. I think we can allow that an internationally known musician can enjoy a moderately upscale version of the most common item of fast food in America, but apparently the NY Times has the right to skewer someone about that in between the piece on this year's beaujolais and the article on the yachting conditions off the Hamptons. Seriously, no one should ever let this publication profile them
But would a pony-based economy necessitate bailouts for the sugar lump and mane ribbon industries? Would he support subsidies to protect American alfalfa growers from Middle Eastern cartels? Will there be penalties for improperly fitted saddles? These are the tough answers that Mr. Supreme owes to the American public
I don't know why we're sad that the creators of this film won't be finding outlandish and aggravating methods of contriving Kristen to be involved in another wedding full of bridal mishaps. I mean, she only had one good friend who is now married, so whose wedding is it in which she would be a bridesmaid? If Maya Rudolph got divorced, then Kristen might want to be a little skeptical about jumping into maid of honor duties too hard, because Maya clearly sucks at getting married and the wedding photos will be burned within hours of the second divorce, so no one will ever remember what Kristen did in that wedding. If she is suddenly best woman in Rose Byrne's wedding or Sookie's or one of the other background types, then Kristen should have learned from the events of the first movie what she should have done to defuse all the bridal party tension, and if she doesn't learn such an obvious lesson, then she is not a character we should be interested in seeing anymore. Why not have the exact same situation as the first movie with a new cast of characters who react and interact differently? Would the hangover 2 have been received better if there was an all new cast and they stayed in vegas? Let's see
New Stu: I cant find New Doug!!!
New Phil: He's right there in bed where we left him after we got back from seeing Gloria Estefan and going to bed at 9:30 sharp. You can't see him because you're not wearing your super thick prescription glasses.
New Stu: Oh no, my glasses! My wife to whom I've been married happily for 27 years might frown slightly when I ask to borrow the family checkbook to buy a new pair.
New Alan: I'm sorry, dear friend, but I accidentally sat on them while finding a comfortable position to catch up on last month's Reader's Digest. You see, like Old Alan, I'm still quite fat.
New Whatever Senor Chang's Character Was Named: While you may be fat, I respect your differences and will refrain from any hurtful or underhanded remarks directed at you.
New Alan: Well, thanks, friend! (New Stu, New Phil, New Doug, New Black Doug, New Heather Graham, and Old Mike Tyson all laugh good naturedly but a little too loudly as New Alan and New Chang warmly embrace. Exeunt all as they then head to the airport to go back to Fort Lauderdale, where they spend the rest of their days without incident)
You see, Hollywood may have been pumping out sequels, but you couldn't accuse them of wholly caving to economic considerations over any semblance of creativity with this strategy

Honorable mention is the Adjustment Bureau, which I couldn't tell if it was the best or the worst movie of the year
My list has both similarities and differences from that of the overall Videogum community! What a surprise!
Guys I saw Chet Haze the other day! I was crossing Sheridan in front of Kellogg and I looked up because I was about to walk into someone and it was Chet and he looked at me and we both kinda moved to the side so as to accommodate each others walking patterns and then I got to the sidewalk on the other side of the street and went on with my day. True story!
That's a very terrible compliment. You never hear the Nazi that opens the Ark of the Covenant boasting that he's got the mind and body of someone about to melt
You know, the subject matter/context might be just a hair uncomfortable, but I'm gonna take this the other way: she's a pretty fantastic rapper for someone with a big plastic tube coming out of her throat
But she was in her X-uniform on the beach and she changed into Kevin Bacon to trick tornado guy. So...was she not actually wearing a uniform and just looking like she did? And she also changed clothes to copy the general at the start. And regardless of whether she can changes her clothes or not, can she not just pretend to be wearing them anyway? If I was on her team, I just wouldn't take her seriously at all.
Why is it mutant pride for mystique to not wear clothes? I mean, I get that she's blue and scaly, but I can see she's blue and scaly when she's fully clothed, and dragonfly girl is very intent on keeping her modesty when she's showing off her wings (in a strip club) and beast turns all blue but he doesn't care that much about showing his fur to people. The point is that they're weird too but they wear clothes. Why does mystique get all mad at charles for wearing clothes? It's fine that she wants to be blue, but her mutant power is being blue and naked? I don't wanna hear any "who cares it's Jennifer Lawrence naked hur hur" crap, but this just baffles my mind. Also, naked 8 year old mystique. How has Fox News not picked this up?
I'm not a big fan of these gifs*. Can we make Community a year round thing so I can smile at those gifs instead on Fridays? We have that power over NBC, right?
*Disclaimer- I don't include the bike kid in this. I propose that someone post this gif every week or so year round so that morale and belief in ourselves never falters.
It took me the whole song to realize that she was calling housewives crappy instead of lamenting that her domestic skills might be subpar, and I spent the whole time wondering how being terrible in some God forsaken club would translate to baking better cupcakes for the school bake sale. I'm not trying to be clever, I'm just sharing how truly stupid I feel right now
Stephen Hawking rejects a basic principle of Christian mythology
John Lennon writes a song
Thus, Stephen Hawking and John Lennon both agree on religion

That's just good science. Kirk Cameron is kinda the go-to guy on good science
If the guy who made this actually watched DVDs, he'd know that the pirate could just speed up that 253 hours by hacking into the NSA with three keystrokes and then saying "enhance download speed" a couple times
Good thing Amy Chua made him dance for three hours a day his whole life. I'm pretty sure that was one of her rules
-You cannot do any dance other than pop and lock or rhumba
-You must either pop and lock or rhumba
Point Breck, in which he is a border control agent and former North Dakota State intramural soccer player who becomes an undercover waterskier just for the hell of it
