Once again, I'd like to nominate ENVY, the alleged comedy from 2004 starring Ben Stiller and Jack Black. Not even Christopher Walken could save this steaming pile of poo (it's about poop, sorry)! Also, I've never seen honey-mustard flavored Combos, but that sounds delicious! I just tried the new jalepeño cheddar flavor the other day and it is the junk food dreams are made of.
Speaking of Ben Stiller movies, does anyone else remember ENVY, that godawful Stiller-Jack Black movie that was basically a two hour-long poop joke? I remember being really excited to see it when it came out because it was the first movie those guys did after Zoolander and School of Rock, which are both great and hilarious movies. But oh man, what a shitty movie (puns! because of the poop in the movie!)!
Oh really? I wouldn't be so sure about that, you stupid chimp (but seriously, I love your avatar. Makes me chuckle ever time I see it. Also, I would like to second your request for a Videogum "Karl Pilkington Promise." I just finished all the old XFM shows so it'd be nice to see some more of Mr. K. Dilkington around here).
Seriously, that was great. But all of Mr. Patriots comments were downvoted into oblivion! I know we didn't like him much back then, but how could this not be funny: "How about I show a real Empire that never sets? The Empire of ME KICKING YOUR GODDAMNED ASS ALL DAY" Classic.
If you can plow through the parade of caps words, there are some precious laughs to be found here! Take this description of Jon's hairdo: "HIS HAIR REPRESENTS ADULTRY AND ASSHOLENESS AND THATS NOT GOOD"
Oh man, you guys. I saw this movie on Mother's Day with my mom and it is quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. I tried to warn her that it would be awful (it had a FIVE PERCENT rating on RT!) but she insisted because BEYONCE! It was AWFUL. Bad acting, horrible writing, and more slo-mo scenic pan-and-scans than The Room. Plus, it's like 17 hours long (rough estimate). I guess what I'm saying is, I'd like to formally nominate Obsessed for TWMOAT.
So, I just googled "Twilight Jurassic Park" to see where that picture is from, and it turns out THERE IS ACTUALLY A JURASSIC PARK AND TWILIGHT CROSSOVER FANFICTION! Here's the description: "An abused child decides she has enough. She, fately injured, runs into the woods. what happens when she ends up in with Cullens?"
After this, I will never be surprised by anything, ever.
Exactly! The book was one of my favorites as a kids and I remember watching the movie and being really confused. Like, why were they SINGING ABOUT BEING POOR and why did Wonka get all insane and angry at Charlie at the end? It was so different from the book, it's easy to see why Dahl didn't like it. ALTHOUGH, I understand why so many people love it, it's FUN, okay. But I really liked Burton's version because it was much more faithful to the book (apart from the dentist-dad thing, but that wasn't even so bad) and it got the tone perfectly. Plus, it looked gorgeous! Like a movie made out of candy! So why does everyone hate it, aside from it being a remake (which it's not, really, it's ANOTHER ADAPTATION OF A BOOK)?
Last night I was watching this with my sister, who had never seen the show before, and she wanted to know why PC was flirting with the gay guy, and what happened to the pretty model girl? So I said, "Well, Sister, PC is confused, sexually. That confusion has been the focus of the past ALL OF THE EPISODES." This irks me, but I hope something actually happens with this whole gay thing (Ugh, gross! That is creepy, he is a child!). I am going to be mad if this "is he or isn't" nonsense goes on forever.
Yeah, sorry, that was a bit uncalled for. I didn't mean to start any interweb fandom wars; they're both great. Let's just agree that Twilight sucks major balls and forget this ever happened, aight?
As an unapologetic Potterhead, I really liked this one in spite of the extreme liberties they took with the storytelling (wtf waitress scene, Burrow fire, no funeral, etc.). It looked gorgeous and that cave scene was pretty cool! And there were a lot of good parts from the book that I was pleasantly surprised to see included (SIDE NOTE: I've noticed there are a lot of people here who haven't read any of the books, and this is bad! We need to have an Emergency Videogum Book Club where the first assignment is to read all of the books, ALL OF THEM, because they are fucking amazing, what have you been doing?!), like Aragog's funeral and that part where Harry and Mr. Weasley are in the shed with the Muggle electronic appliances. Good job, makers of this movie!
Oh yeah, I remember that! What a hoot! People were dying all over the place in season 2, it was like fucking Lost or something. ALSO, Cassie was definitely the best character, doyoyoy. Remember when she turned into the friendly neighborhood crack whore in season 2 because she was mad at Syd or something? That was weird. But, you know, character development. There's a lot of that on Skins, which is why I love it. Tony's the scheming ringleader of the gang, then poof! he's a semi-retarded guy who can't swim.
Has anyone else watched Flapjack, the amazing newish cartoon on Cartoon Network? It's really great! It could totally be the next Spongebob (seriously, it's so good!) if Cartoon Network keeps airing it instead of turning into a 24-hour children's game show network. It's really funny, and not in that for-a-cartoon sort of way.
Oh man, I had no idea so many Videogummerz liked Skins! It is (was? Haven't seen the third season yet) a great show. Especially the first season. Remember when they were all singing Cat Stevens at the end of the finale while Tony got hit by a truck? So ridiculous! What other show does that? Gossip Girls doesn't have the balls to pull that shit off.
Oh no! That's Tom Kenny, the voice of Spongebob and several characters from Rocko's Modern Life and the Powerpuff Girls! I used to love that guy('s voices) but now I just don't know. Yuck, racism.
I, for one, am really looking forward to seeing this. Ghost Town was actually pretty good, and Gervais didn't even write that. He wrote this one, it has lots of funny people, should be great. Yeah.
Hey, I just thought of something! How will we know when there is a new Gabe and Max video, because Lindsay always posts them and now she's gone (R.I.P., :(, etc.)? Will Gabe post them? This is important!
I like how none of these repeats are downvoted (yet?). It's a nice tribute to Lindsay's retirement. We as commenters and comment-voters have finally been able to put aside the snark and appreciate a good comment for what it is, no matter how many times it's been posted. Or maybe it's because everyone has been nicer since The Dude broke the news (An American Patriot is getting all the upvotes, whaaaaaaat?)? Anyways, sometimes I just love You Guys.
Lindsay, you are a good 50 percent of what makes this site my favorite ever. Thanks for brightening my weekdays and for just being really great. Best of luck on whatever you do next!
