Pajiba Love

Another Real World Challenge is back and so is freaking Beth from the “The Real World: Los Angeles.” As in, the one that aired when I was like 14. And since I am now 30, that would make her how old, exactly? Yikes. (WWeek)

I thought people like Sean Young who had superheroesque powers of alcoholism were impervious to rehab, anyway. (WIMB)

Anyone else feel like watching Tony Romo seal his manhood away in an envelope postmarked “Timbuktu?” (IDLYITW)

I don’t know if I’m more incredulous that a massive brawl broke out at a Chuck E. Cheese or that police doused the entire place with pepper spray to control it. (QuizLaw)

I’ve really got to start watching this Real Housewives of Orange County garbage. When I read posts like this I kind of feel like I’m missing out. (PrettyOnTheOutside)

Who says “salads” have to be healthy or for that matter made with vegetables which aren’t dehydrated? (The Impulsive Buy)

The “Buffy” cast is said to be reuniting at the Paley Television Festival this March, but I would be very surprised if the notoriously difficult Sarah Michelle Gellar graces with her presence. (Variety)

Put a sailor’s cap on him and Woody Harrelson will a spitting image of Popeye, only maybe slightly uglier. (Agent Bedhead)

Matthew McConaughey doesn’t like to wear anything that “inhibits his natural smell.” And that’s all I’m going to say about that. (Yeeeah!)

This isn’t something I’d typically deem Love-worthy, but I just really need others to validate my fury with McAmerican culture right now. (Litelysalted)

Oooh, ever seen the one where Batman told Robin they were on a break? Check it, after the jump.

Consider yourself validated. It hurts to think that the cool diner will give way to a fucking Walgreens.

I hate the fact that there is an entire blog devoted to repurposed fast food and chain stores because the ugly-ass things are identical down to the foundations. I hate that my brain can recognize the shape of a damn Taco Bell like some twisted hunter/gatherer of yore stalking game trails.

The diner in that picture looks interesting. The blank-faced, high-flourescent featureless box that replaces it will be anything but. Gah.

It would appear that the Pajiba Murder Tour '08 will need to make a pass to Litelysaltedville.

[checks map]

Yep. We can squeeze that in.

And... hey! I like those pasta salads!

Aww...my friend who sits behind me at work lives in (and adores) Phoenixville, I'll have to ask him about the closing of that diner.

Oh, and did anyone else catch the Real World/Road Rules countdown MTV did before the premier? It was called Physically and Mentally (heh) Challenged, the Top 25 Moments in Challenge History (or something like that), and it was GLORIOUS.

I've never heard of Sarah Michelle Gellar described as being difficult. Can anyone shed some light? Difficult to work with or is she just not interested in revisiting Buffy?

Posted by: L at January 30, 2008 5:52 PM

Diving Bell and the Butterfly is a beautiful film. But, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm how do I put this delicately....Julian Schnabel is a douchebag and a HUGE tool, who overestimates himself, a lot.

So if my girl Sean Young went all up in his grille, I'm okay with that. She was in Blade Runner = free lifetime pass.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at January 30, 2008 6:07 PM

Oh, and nobody's given a rat's ass about Sarah Michele Gellar since 2001.

PS: I know Buffy ended in '03...exactly.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at January 30, 2008 6:13 PM

I give a rat's ass about SMG, because she has the rights to American McGee's Alice which MUST BE MADE.

Posted by: Andrew831 at January 30, 2008 9:13 PM
-------------------------------------------------

It must be made, on that we are in agreement (by either Jackson or Del Toro) But what is this about SMG "having the rights"? I don't like the way that sounds, at all.

Explain this to me immediately!

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at January 30, 2008 9:33 PM

Well, she saw her hubby Freddie Prinze Jr. playing the game one day, got interested, and bought the film rights to the movie.

And she wants to play Alice.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I can't even play the fucking game, but by all that is sacred and holy, the movie version should not be a vanity project for SMG.

At one time wasn't Wes Craven attached with Eliza Dushku set to play Alice? Or did I just pull that out of my ass?

Posted by: Alabamapink at January 30, 2008 11:20 PM

Well it was going to be helmed by Craven but that was a long time ago and the film has changed hands since then

Anyway here's a part of a recent interview with Gellar talking about the movie.

*BarbadoSlim is at the local Hospital recovering from a massive stroke after, apparently, having read something about Sarah Michelle Gellar and some intellectual/media property acquisition*

Details are pending...

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at January 31, 2008 5:34 AM

To L - many Buffy alumni attend signing events and conventions, but SMG (to the best of my knowledge), never has. I think it's a safe bet she won't do the Paleys. As for her being difficult, yep, there are rumours and hints from castmates about that.

Matthew McConaughey doesn't use deoderant? Ugh. I attended a con with an actor guest who declared he didn't deodorise, either. Well, the guy smelled fine early in the day, but by half-way through the evening party, his underarm BO was clearing a path for him! Not attractive.

So, TK, have you decided if you're going to compete in the Real World/Road Rules Challenge this time? You're usually one of the stronger competitors.

Posted by: Kolby at January 31, 2008 9:30 AM

I just clicked on the Real Housewives link and got redirected to Pretty on the Outside, which in turn had a link that redirected me to Pajiba. huzzah, redundancy!

Posted by: RKB at January 31, 2008 10:48 AM

Kolby, sweetheart, I am gonna beat your ass.

Posted by: TK at January 31, 2008 11:03 AM

Litely: I feel for you. Similarly to Alex the Odd, I have seen the wonderful old pubs of my youth (why yes, children are allowed in pubs in Ireland) that used to be filled with characters and unidentifiable smells replaced by brewery-owned theme pubs that cater to what a certain type of American thinks an Irish pub should be. Pubs are the heart of most villages and to have them destroyed in this way is absolute sacrilege.
