Gaaah. The "if you're offended why would you take tickets" and "you should expect to be insulted when you go to a comedy club" remind me of arguments like "well, I don't support rape but really should she have been dressed like a slut?" and "well, I feel bad that she got raped, but what was she doing at night in that part of town anyway?" I AM GOING TO GO PET MY CATS NOW.
Gabe, thank you a gajillion times over for this post. It has made my day.
Well, he's made out with every girl in the world, but there's one special lady that he'd like to work it.
I want to go to that party. There are probably good cookies there.
I love the description of the effervescent chip bag, which made it sound like it was paired with pop.
Does anyone else think this is fake, in an attempt to deter young children from entering the blindfolded tightrope walker field? I mean, that looked like a sheer rock face, and he walked away unscathed.
Oh! Donna Darko'd myself!
A publicity stunt like her marriage to Al Reynolds? No. That was totally legit.
I'm just worried for that lei! Those beautiful flowers are going to get crushed in the first movement through a sun salutation!
If you're on a date with an anime popstar, shouldn't you take her someplace more impressive than a park? I feel like maybe you should be riding unicorns over rainbows and then stopping at a cafe perched in a cloud to eat cupcakes and root beer floats served by cuddly talking dogs.
Any mention of the McLaughlin Group is an excuse to direct people to this Andrew WK song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KMV3dc2PbI
Emma Stone is fantastic in so much more than Superbad. Easy A was completely charming, and she was also great in Zombieland, and Crazy,Stupid,Love. She even made an insufferable character in The Help palatable. In short, I have a gigantic girl crush on her and think that twice a day is justifiable for hearing her name in conversation.
There's a movie that's probably really bad out there called Chalet Girl featuring some lovely young actress, one of the guys from Gossip Girl, and Bill Nighy. And it's all about a poor English girl who falls for this posh hunk and Bill Nighy is in it as someone's dad. Yet every time I saw the preview, I was silently yelling in my head because the stupid Chalet Girl was falling in love with Chace Westwick or whatever and NOT Bill Nighy. BILL NIGHY! He's rich AND good looking AND not a total snob. TL; DR - Bill Nighy is clearly the best.
Are we sure this wasn't just a photoshop disaster that happened when they were trying to downsize the rest of her feet?
I just laughed so hard at this thread that I dropped my cookie into my cup of tea. Videogum made me laugh so hard that it ruined my evening snack.
Why is no one tying the announcement of this divorce to the release of Rock of Ages? Katie Holmes simply realized that she didn't want to be married to Stacee Jaxx and his monkey. Simple as that.
Bah. I'd much rather watch Honey and the Beez.
Oh, don't worry about that. These people also own a turtle, and he's already stained the carpet with his raspberry eating.
My husband refuses to see it with me so I'm going to end up seeing it by myself in a theater. And since it'll likely be cold and rainy (it's London!), I'll be wearing a trenchcoat to the theater. The only way this moviegoing experience could make me feel dirtier is if it starred Michael Fassbender.
He is a good singer! That's how he's winning his lady!
Magic Mike for Videogum Movie Club, y/y?
Does Money Maker Mike own another shirt?
What I love about this song is that its underlying message is so sweet, "Girl, you look hot, but I really just want you to marry me." The problem is that Moneymaker Mike won't take a hint AND LEAVE THE ROOM.
Um, what about the interview with Louis CK on the Today Show? I realize it was awful, but it would have been nice to see Louis CK dealing with an absolutely clueless interviewer.
No no no no no. Science is the name of the new girl band that's hosting Eurovision next year.
Can someone please post the Howard Wolfson in a Cosby sweater photo? Please? Let's all smile at that one for a bit.
Do we know if the heart attack was caused by extraordinary Trebek exertions, like running down a hallway naked after a burglar who had broken into his hotel room? No? Ok. I just wanted an excuse to bring up that story again.
I have listened to the O. Henry and Charles Dickens podcast multiple times, and it still makes me crack up when Dickens talks about the poor.
I am an American living in London in the middle of a British summer, which means it rains a lot. And everyone makes small talk here by complaining about the British summer weather and lamenting the fact that we're not going to have a real summer and I just want to tell them that there is no worse feeling than getting on the unairconditioned platform of a New York City subway and feeling the grime mix with the sweat and seep into your pores. Give me a British summer and a cup of tea any day.
I feel compelled to make a "Taken 2: Electric Boogaloo" because I really want to see Liam Neeson talk about his specific set of skills and then break out into an elaborate tap dancing number.
Her dad was too busy giving wolves fighting lessons.
Any mention of pie gets an upvote. Especially key lime!
Pull my head off and I'll show you a trick! *pause* The trick, Mr. Engineer, is not minding that it hurts.
Another noteworthy fact about Bryce Harper - he once gave himself a black eye when he threw his bat in frustration. It bounced off the wall and hit him in his face. I should probably feel bad for him, but I laugh every time I hear that story.
Isn't Vincent Gallo our go-to guy for all casting needs?
This episode? High marks for Molesley getting accidentally drunk. Season three better have a shit-ton of Molesley.
Who's stealing the reactor-grade plutonium? Thomas, of course. Although what he thought was yellowcake was, well, yellow cake.
