Thanks for the votes 'jibans -- QuizLaw wins yet again! Now we kicked some serious arse, but your mission is only beginning, because there are bigger and better blog-ularity contests to be had. I said who's with me?! (QuizLaw)
And the year's worst acting performance goes to ... (spoiler alert: It's not a flaccid penis)? (WIMB)
Nickelodeon distances itself from "Zoey 101" quicker than a Republican politician distances himself from a gay sex scandal. (Yeeeah!)
Coincidentally, TK also shares his love for "The Wire" today. And there's never enough love for "The Wire." (Uncooked Meat)
Gwyneth Paltrow is too good to flip through magazines while she's getting her hair did. Maybe she's just a run-of-the-mill germaphobe? It's possible! (Agent Bedhead)
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are shilling for nasty popcorn. (KSK)
Fact! Kanye West isn't the "Connect Four" mastermind you'd expect him to be. In related news: Kanye West finally admits at losing at something. (cityrag)

I'm so sick of that stupid Cloverfield movie and its stupid ad campaign. Ergherghergh. Now, if the monster was actually a combination of three of those things, say, a giant, jolly green, stay-puff Christ, THEN I might feel a little differently.
Gwenny should like magazines because she can just look at the pretty pictures - only a little reading for her to wrestle with.

I think the best thing about that picture of Kanye and Beyonce is how she's doing the little "Oh no, I lost!" pose, but you can totally tell that she let him win-- no one would ever seriously miss the open spot that he must have used to win, especially if they have previously won nine games.
Yes, I examined the Connect Four board to see how he won. It was either that, or stare blankly at my work environment.

That Cloverfield "viral" marketing blitz completely ruined my enjoyment of the My Super Sweet 16 marathon(SHUT UP! mind your own fucking business), anyway, the only way this thing is gonna have a pay-off is if EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. on it gets killed.... AND the theater goers too.
Posted by: BarbadoSlim at January 3, 2008 5:13 PM
Slim, you seriously cannot be expecting any credibility after admitting to watching a MARATHON of "My Super Sweet 16". I...I respected you. I actually gave your point of view credence. I am so crushed.
Posted by: Vermillion at January 3, 2008 5:41 PM
Hahahahahahaha, seriously, I watched it to get pissed-off for the rest of the year.
You know, "just to get a base"
Posted by: BarbadoSlim at January 3, 2008 5:48 PM
Paltrow makes you want to take those magazines and beat her about the head with them. Also, that pink gown had a poorly fitted bodice. Did she not have a mirror to check her appearance before she left the house?
Posted by: rlr260 at January 3, 2008 6:13 PM
Could Paltrow be more of a twat? Jesus. "I don't do magazines." Oh, oh, wait - am I to believe Ms. Paltrow only reads the finest literature? Bitch, please.

"...Could Paltrow be more of a twat? .."
I don't know, something tells me she can...

I would very much like to meet Mr. PaddyDog to compare notes and plan...mmmm...stuff.

BSlim is obviously just watching to see if anyone can do splits across the WHOLE FLOOR.
Girls peak in flexibility at around age sixteen...clearly he's really doing research.

I'm just hoping Michael Cera takes his current acting momentum and keeps making good films, unlike another quirky looking young actor with a breakout film role in a hipster-friendly high school comedy (cough Napoleon Dynamite cough). He's too talented to throw it all away, right?
Then again, Lindsay Lohan had a lot of potential at one point as well. Can't say I agree with the British people, considering Lindsay's performance can be viewed as the best part of I Know Who Killed Me. Oh how predictable. Robert's defending a crappy horror film again.
My personal Cloverfield theory? Uwe Boll destroys New York City. It's so brilliant, no one will ever see it coming. He gets tanked, works with a personal city-destroying instructor, and ruins some poor little rich kid's going away party because he mistakes him for an online film critic who said Bloodrayne 2 was a bad, bad film. It's a win, win, win situation judging by his nutty persona. If that's not the twist in Cloverfield, I may have to shoot my own version where it is.

Actually your flexibility is set from about the age of thirteen. I used to do and coach Rhythmic Gymnastics, so trust me on that one. ;)
I love My Super Sweet Sixteen - it is my guilty pleasure. Those kids are just so dumb and the parents are worse! They are the embodiment of what Terry Pratchett was on about in Thief of Time - "Sometimes I really think people ought to have to pass a proper exam before they're allowed to be parents. Not just the practical, I mean."
Posted by: Noo at January 3, 2008 11:39 PM
Don't feel bad for being so predictable Robert, your blind defense of the entire genre is something I've come to depend on. A still point in this ever turning world (or whatever).
Someone explain the cloverfield marketing strategy for me? We haven't had any marketing for it over here so I'm blissfully in the dark on this one.
My Step-Father best summed up my view on Super Sweet 16 (seriously, why are we talking about this again, do we have nothing better to do with our time? Evidently not: moving on.) "You mean to tell me they're cheering for some chubby blonde girl like she's a rockstar because they got invited to a party? And they're not drunk? Why would they cheer unless they're getting free booze?"
But yes: guilty pleasure, best thing about staying with Grandparents who have cable (along with the ANTM marathons of course)

Drew Goddard wrote Cloverfield, so I guess I'll give it a chance. Though the viral stuff does sound irritating!
IIRC from my days as a Drew Minion at The Bronze Beta, he was rather fond of zombies. Maybe the monster is a giant zombie something-or-other?

You can tell Lily Allen is quite adventurous. ....singing in music videos with masturbating muppets... And now, comes her mildly shocking admission of anal sex.
....
"I thought I would write a song about it that goes: 'I didn't know you could pregnant from the bum bum'."
Where do you think lawyers, excuse me, solicitors and barristers come from?!?!?!?!?

AlextheOdd, basically the Cloverfield campaign is showing a really annoying, vague, home-video quality clip of stupid teens/college students at a party. One of them is leaving the country. Too bad something just blew up the Statue of Liberty.
And that's all we know. It's worse than the Blair Witch Campaign, which at least told you the title of the movie. As a service, I'll post the Youtube link as the clickable link in this post.
And blind defense of horror? I wouldn't touch Cloverfield with a 10 foot pole. Or One Missed Call (remake, the original was bad enough). Or The Eye (remake, the original doesn't deserve this). Or most of the crap that will be released between now and Trick 'r Treat (come on, '08 release, don't let us down).

Noo-
I'm sad because you said 13. Although I'm 25, so it's not like I just missed it, but I'm trying to learn Tribal Style bellydance, which demands a great deal of flexibility, and it's kicking my ass. Pouty face.
I'm happy because you admit to liking Super Sweet Sixteen and mention a Terry Pratchett quote. This Sun Salutation is for you!

I know at least eleven people, including myself, who would pay cash money to see this movie.
Alert the studios! Robert, start packing for L.A.

that bees chick - don't despair about your flexibility level. I actually started gymnastics at 18, with no dance or any other type gymnastics background. I was able to develop some decent flex, but there is just a certain level I can't go past and I don't think my body will ever let me (even though some coaches tried - eek). I did a lot of other sports as a kid and that helped my flex levels.
Belly dancing is so hard. I did a class a little while back and loved it, although it killed my knees. Good luck.
I got a sun salutation - warm fuzzies :D
