True story, I was at a wine tasting this weekend and we were all talking about Bea Arthur and how great she is, and then 15 minutes later I checked my phone and saw the email from Ranylt, breaking the news. Then I had to break it to a room full of gay men. We were all very, very sad. She will be missed. (Celebitchy)

The two most useless people on planet Earth got married this weekend. And much like a tree falling in the forest, it didn’t really make a sound. (Webster’s)

Here’s five literary translations worse than The Informers. Really? I thought everyone kind of liked Less Than Zero. (Spout)

It’s not my policy to link to reviews to movies that we’ve reviewed on other sites, but I’ll make an exception this time for an alternate perspective of Obsessed. (ScreenJunkies)

Best humorous T-shirt irony ever. (QuizLaw)

I really do need this “Flight of the Conchords” poster. Really, really, really need it. (FilmSchoolRejects)

Yay! First pics of Will Ferrell and Bear Grylls during filming of their upcoming episode of “Man vs. Wild” together. (Pop Candy)

Hahaha. God, Twilight fans are stupid. (CakeWrecks)

Rebeccah sent me this. It’s basically a picture of Christopher Walken building Optimus Prime, with no context whatsoever. And it’s kind of awesome. (Mopo)

This isn’t news to me. I’ve been saying for years that Juliette Lewis was insane and/or mentally retarded. (AgentBedhead)

Apparently there have been viral videos for the Donny Darko sequel. I say “apparently,” because I don’t know if we’ve featured any since we all despise the fact that the movie, you know, exists. (BloodyDisgusting)

Mike Tyson responds to the critics of Tyson. Basically, he’s going to hunt down Dustin and wear his skin like a coat. (HolyTaco)

Oh, and by the way, Mike Tyson totally thinks Jamie Foxx should play him in his biopic. Done and done. (ScreenRant)

One of the guys who did that “White People Problems” music video I featured awhile back sent me their new video, because they thought you guys would like it. So what do you think, do you guys like it? Don’t be shy, not that I have to tell you twice:

“FAT GIRLS” by Eli Braden - watch more funny videos

"True story, I was at a wine tasting this weekend..."

Of course you were.

You and your friends killed Bea Arthur? Never, never talk about older people you want to live.

Hey, that link to the Flight of the Conchords poster nearly crashed my computer -- it just keeps endlessly opening the same window over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Makes me wary of the Pajiba Love section and I don't want to be wary of love...

I've never seen the movie "Less Than Zero" so I can't really say how good it is, whether taken in context of the book or not. But, I've always heard that it had little to noting in common with the book, so maybe that's why it's on the list. I remember when I read the book back in high school, I was horrified by it - or at least by that part with the 12-yo girl.

Posted by: Elsie at April 27, 2009 1:30 PM

I'm sad about Bea. I may spend the rest of the day watching Golden Girls clips on youtube.

Did somebody mention cupcakes?

Posted by: Kolby at April 27, 2009 1:31 PM

So Juliette Lewis has officially become Bai Ling?

Awesome. Now there are TWO of them!

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at April 27, 2009 1:32 PM

Jessica, that reminds me. I'm pretty sure I got a virus from one of the links I looked at last week from Pajiba Love. Unfortunately, I can't remember which link it was - I just remember that it was something not normally linked to.

Posted by: Elsie at April 27, 2009 1:33 PM

Oh, and sadface :(
re: Bea.

LOVE THE "FAT GIRLS" VIDEO!!

Posted by: Fat Girl at April 27, 2009 1:45 PM

Did anyone else have a problem with the Film School Rejects link? I link to them semi-regularly and have never had an issue. Also, my most sincere apologies if anyone has gotten a virus from anything I've linked. I try to always link reputable sites but occasionally will throw in something unfamiliar if a reader sends it in.

Posted by: Stacey at April 27, 2009 1:51 PM

Can you get a virus from visiting a link?

I'm calling shenanigans.

Posted by: henchman for hire at April 27, 2009 1:52 PM

That Christopher Walken painting is by Brandon Bird. It's part of a series that also includes this one of Bea Arthur, called "Killing Machine."

It's what I imagine she did on weekends.

Posted by: cdive at April 27, 2009 2:05 PM

Not to worry, Stacey. This is why I always make sure to jam a condom into my laptops DVD drive whenever I go online. Always remember to practice safe interneting!

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at April 27, 2009 2:09 PM

I have to have that FOTC poster NOW. I'll resist the urge to make love to it. I think. I have a horrible crush on Jemaine Clement.

Ok check this out:

Juliette Lewis' dad is Geoffrey Lewis. He has TEN kids. He was in the 70s movie Salem's Lot and that was the first movie that scared the ever-loving PISS out of me (I wouldn't go near a window for over a decade).

So the formula is:

Geoffrey Lewis, strange character actor + had too many kids = one had to turn out kooky/Juliette Lewis.

Every time I see her picture, I get whole body chills.

5 Things You Didn't Know About Bea Arthur

Posted by: Cindy at April 27, 2009 2:13 PM

Now that I've watched the video, for some reason I thought he was going to mean chubby girls. No, he means FAT girls. I know a guy like that. Below 350 and he's not interested in you, for real. He's 6'2" and weighs about 175. Whatever does it for you, man.

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at April 27, 2009 2:14 PM

Can you get a virus from visiting a link?

Yes, it is possible, via a variety of javascript exploits amongst other technical things. They tend to exploit security holes with Internet Explorer primarily, but there are a few out there that can hit Firefox. It varies wildly on what particular version of a browser you are using and even which time you hit a particular page. For example, one of the links in today's Pajiba Love (I don't know which because I opened about six of them in different tabs) was trying to do something nasty through my Firefox (Bloodhound.PDF was the virus), but my virus scanner caught it before it did anything.

Usually it's not even the owner of the site doing it, it's that they've been hacked or someone uploaded some malicious javascript via the comments thread of a page.

The internet is a filthy whore. Use protection.

Ooh, I'll watch anything that has Jamie Foxx being beaten into a pulp. I hate that douchetard.

Posted by: figgy at April 27, 2009 2:18 PM

Sure.. it was a wine tasting... Tasting the same box of wine multiple times all night.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at April 27, 2009 2:21 PM

Yes, you can get a virus from clicking on a link. I got one from clicking on something last week that showed a picture of Nicole Kidman's younger sister looking kinda haggard. I don't recall if the link was from here or somewhere else. Anyway, as soon as I hit the page, a windows installer box opened and I could not close it or the page. Finally had to shut down my computer, but it was too late.

Posted by: peachfish at April 27, 2009 2:24 PM

True story, I was at a wine tasting this weekend

FYI, surreptitiously drinking from each box of wine at Food for Less may technically qualify as "wine tasting" since you taste some wine, but let's not glorify it, okay?

Re the fat girls video ... eh. I don't think they're sincerely praising the joys of big love. So are they making fun of fat girls? I'm not getting my knickers in a twist over it, but I'm not seeing much humor there either.

Posted by: socalledonlycousins at April 27, 2009 2:27 PM

socalledonlycousins, I got the same feeling about the video.

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at April 27, 2009 2:38 PM

I had sangria out of a box this weekend.

And it was AMAZING, so shut the hell up.

Posted by: figgy at April 27, 2009 2:40 PM

Finding out Bea Arthur was a Marine was as cool as finding out Julia Child worked for the OSS (CIA forerunner). Nothing beat her stiletto souffle.

Well, yeah, if you had it with your bread and cookies.

Usless people getting married, I though that already happened when Douche Wentz married Ashlee Simpson?

Posted by: George at April 27, 2009 3:30 PM

And because I just watched it:

'The Golden Compass' has to be one of the worst adaptations I've ever seen. I can't believe how much they dumbed down the book. It's disgusting.

Posted by: figgy at April 27, 2009 3:54 PM

Figgy, I hate Jamie Foxx with a passion. The guy could pick any name he wanted and he chose Jamie Foxx? Eric Marlon Bishop sounds way better to me.

Also, he's an asshole. I like Pete Wentz more than Jamie Foxx. I think John Mayer is Godtopus' gift to the world of art if you put him next to Jamie Foxx. To me, Jamie Foxx is in the same category as Dane Cook and Spencer Pratt. Good for nothing people who feel they have something to offer and that we should bow before them.

Well, fuck that. ASSHOLE!

Shit, now I'm mad...

The Christopher Walken painting is by Brandon Bird. I bought his painting of Lenny Briscoe and Jack McCoy sitting out by a campfire together. Who needs context when you can have homo-erotic scenes from Law and Order?

Posted by: JakesAlterEgo at April 27, 2009 4:04 PM

And, to be fair, I kind of get what Juliette Lewis is saying. Moving your hips left to right instead of bobbing your head up and down is actually a kind of elegant way to say it's dance music, not shoe gazing music.

Posted by: JakesAlterEgo at April 27, 2009 4:05 PM

damnit, i've had to restart my computer twice!
stacey, you are a filthy FILTHY girl.

Posted by: gp at April 27, 2009 4:53 PM

And much like a tree falling in the forest, it didn’t really make a sound.

True story, I was writing my The Know-It-All review earlier today and talked about how I didn't need to read the encyclopedia to know that trees DO make sounds when they fall in forests, regardless of whether or not someone is there to hear it. It's logic, people.

Also, the egg came first.

Posted by: SaBrina at April 27, 2009 7:51 PM

The I Love Fat Girls video is pretty dammned unfunny. It appears that he filmed the most offensive scenes in drag so that the actress wouldn't know what the context was for her appearance in his video.

Posted by: clarity at April 28, 2009 12:20 AM

I always kind of loved Juliette Lewis. Bitch crazy, for sure, but she means no harm.
