Pajiba Love

Being the biggest idiot of Pajiba, I’m of the unabashedly simpleminded school of thought that I’d rather just enjoy something at face value than read too much into it. But an entire academic conference devoted to “Buffy,” “Firefly” and “Angel?” That is just too damn cool. (Yahoo!)

The ever-enlightened Kate Beckinsale says women can’t be good at both cooking and fucking. Sic’ her, ladies. (WIMB)

Is this for real? It looks for real, but why would anyone approach an axe-wielding psychopath? To save the copier? Now you have to click. Ha! (GirlNamedBoo)

It’s about damn time a cable company got sued for shitty customer service. Say it with me now: “Nyah nyah nyah nyah!” (QuizLaw)

Apparently stalking Jamie Lynn is as easy as heading down to your local Wal-Mart. (IDLYITW)

So some people here aren’t the hugest fans of pie, I understand. So how about a big, delicious chocolate cake, instead? (YBNBY)

Here is an interview with Eugene Mirman, a very funny man who is quickly becoming one of my new favorite comedians. (CC Insider)

I saw The Black Cauldron in the theater as a kid and it scared the living bejeezus out of me. All I remember is something with a skeleton army. (Film Experience)

So Lindsay Lohan can’t star in movies if she can’t get insured to star in movies? Any of you Pajibans happen to work in the entertainment insurance business and want to pull us all a huge favor? (Celebitchy)

Hey NIN fans, Trent Reznor is giving away more free shit! (Agent Bedhead)

I don’t know what I love more, that Paula Deen on The Food Network has her very own collectible store or that it’s filled with all of this craziness. (Serious Eats)

Poor Ricky Gervais is getting terrorized by the tabloids for being a “chubby fatster.” At least they haven’t started pregnancy rumors yet. (YorkshirePost)

After blaming him for the sudden onslaught of lowbrow humor on the Love, Phillip made it his personal mission to bring me the best damn Pajiba Love clip of all time. Here’s one for the Paj Hall of Ages, after the jump.

I liked that video. I like the song too. I think everyone should own a huge Bible. I'm now going to go out and find myself a nice Christian boy who knows his Bible and his rap music...or I could just go out and get drunk with my heathen friends. Oh Godtopus why must you test me so?!

Poor deluded Kate Beckinsale. That is just what she tells her husband--hope he never finds out the truth. I may not be much to look at but I didn't get this fat from being a bad cook and I didn't get this happy from being a bad, um, nevermind.

Posted by: Brigette at June 6, 2008 4:05 PM

A Whedon based curriculum would be simply based on how anorexic white girls can be improbably tough action heroes.

Seriously, that guy has fooled more people regarding his talent as Bush fooling Americans into thinking he was capable... twice!!!

Posted by: I Laugh At You at June 6, 2008 4:11 PM

socalled, I found another clip somewhere that was taken by a guy there with his phone--you can see him in the video if you look carefully--and by the fuzzy sound, they seemed to be speaking a slavic based language. Maybe Russian.

And that's about the best I can do.

I so need to get me one of those.

Posted by: boo at June 6, 2008 4:14 PM

I didn't realize that David Boreanaz, Gina Torres, and Nathan Fillon were anorexic white girls. Way to generalize.

Flawless victory.

Yeah, that Gina Torres needs to put on some ellbees and work on her tan.

This kind of criticism goes along with the word "overrated." "You people are all morons! I don't like it, therefore it must be bad! It's not possible that so many well-educated, discerning people could disagree with a genius such as myself!"

Whatever happened to people saying, "You know, I just don't like it. Cool that tons of other people do, though."

Oh, yeah, that version of the internet is in Idea Heaven, playing canasta with Rational Talk Radio and Humanitarian Patriotism.

I guess by queen you mean: someone who puts on a dress and pretends to be a sassy woman. No, wait that's Tyler Perry. But I guess it's only funny if you're black. Cause it's still not funny.

Unless you meant, Queen, the rock band. Cause Night at the Opera is the shit.

Don't worry, Scaramookie. I'm sure Ricky will do the fandango in your backside. Send a bolt of lightning, very, very frightning, ME! Galileo, galileo, galileo, figaro!

Posted by: greer at June 6, 2008 4:47 PM

I don't think Kate Beckinsale says that. She says she always thought that - as if confirming that the stereotype was ingrained in her. It was really a light, breezy quote that doesn't deserve that level of flipping out/the rigors of such extreme political correctness.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at June 6, 2008 4:49 PM

My one-year-old nephew totally rocked his way through the Monster CD I had to play this morning because of Boozehound Cinephile. He just cried through that entire GodTube video. Now that it's over, he's fine.

Posted by: Three-nineteen at June 6, 2008 5:02 PM

Hi, Bistro, we're in the basement too! Are you around Milwaukee?

Posted by: Three-nineteen at June 6, 2008 5:06 PM

I gotta agree with DarthCorleone about Beckinsale. It isn't like she is saying it about all women, she is pretty much joking about herself. You might get some super-sensitive asshat all riled up with stuff like that.

Besides, she is right: she can always go out for good food, but the other one....not so much.

You see, this is exactly why I'm never going to go back to Christianity. Satan has Gwar, Dio, and Judas Priest. God has this guy and Amy Grant.

Another reason to be agnostic: you can listen to all the good bands, and yet still get in Upstairs on a technicality! Whoo!

Posted by: Vermillion at June 6, 2008 5:20 PM

He just said "Scaramookie".

Dammit, Ted! "Monster" is factually BETTER! Get over it! But also, what did Wash say? "I'm wiry...I'm lithe, and I'll surprise you!" So, you never know who might beat your ass, really. And they might have strong legs and kick you. There's those women who look really thin on top but there's these great legs you don't know are there, like one of my old girlfriends, or when Keira Knightley was just wearing a big shirt in "At World's End". That's not related necessarily to monster fighting prowess, it was just a nice time for me (I thought she looked good in the bulky drag in "Dead Man's Chest" too), kinda the way Gisele Bundchen looks fantastic only when fully clothed in Ralph Lauren ads.

I'm now going to watch some more "Lucy, Daughter of the Devil" to flush my system. Besides, that guy's so inconsistent with his policies. Do you support NKJV? NLT? RSV? NASB? Which is it, man??? (and when it's time to pull returns in a store and you've got an Excel printout with three or four different acronyms and abbreviations [and the cell wasn't made wide enough], and 20% of them have been stolen already....does not a friendship make)

Posted by: Jay at June 6, 2008 5:23 PM

Oh, contraire, Kate-y-poo - in my experience, not only does the ability craft a delectable meal get your significant other's undergarments in a bundle (regardless of gender), actually EATING a meal once in a while takes the sport of sheet-twirling to a whole new level, as well! Just remember what Spinal Tap says - the bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'!

YES, you heard me, I'm calling the skinny bitch out. She's always looked as if sex with her would resemble boning Jack Skellington. Pun, erm, possibly intended.

Posted by: Tammy at June 6, 2008 5:24 PM

Kate B. is usually very cool about that stuff, so I imagine her comment was very tongue-in-cheek. I remember an interview with her where she noted some director wanted her to do a nude scene because she was about to take a shower and he said it would be realistic. She said something to the effect of "Yeah, I would probably have taken a shit, too, but he didn't want to show that, did he?" I think she's very savvy in that respect.

Posted by: samantha t at June 6, 2008 5:26 PM

What's up three nineteen! I am in Milwaukee. Today was my last day working at NML. The tornado warning hit just about 2 minutes before I was about to have my final punch-out. Now I'm safe and secure at home.

Posted by: Bistro at June 6, 2008 6:09 PM

Okay, you midwesterners have to check back in once the tornadoes are gone. I used to live in Ohio. That shit is no joke.

Posted by: greer at June 6, 2008 6:35 PM

greer, apparently there was a band of random tornadoes from here (Milwaukee) down to about St. Louis. Here in Milwaukee we got the distinctive cloud formations that make meteorologists scream "get to the basement right quick!" I don't know if an actual tornado ever materialized from it - I haven't seen any actual damage myself, and have not turned on the news. I know the cloud formation appeared over a southwest suburb and headed straight for downtown. But in about 15 minutes it was out over Lake Michigan and the alert was called off. Good update?

Posted by: Bistro at June 6, 2008 7:09 PM

Hotmail, I refuse to bow to your transparent attempts at swaying me into your sexual dungeon of depravity. I'm not a poet or a man-lover, do cast your pearls on dead swine. Your mystical ways and tawdry musings will be your undoing. Unfortunately you've let your right hand know the business of your left hand. Seek sweet nectar and figs out of necessity and not out of greed.

For what its worth, I'm in the pro-Kate team on this one.

Posted by: JP at June 6, 2008 7:25 PM

If by "pro-Kate team," you mean you still want to make the hot monkey sex with her, regardless of what random nonsense comes out of her mouth, then me too.

Posted by: socalledonlycousins at June 6, 2008 8:11 PM

Oh, Kate Beckinsale. It's not great when even YOU say that all you're good for is sex.

Posted by: Sarafina at June 6, 2008 8:17 PM

for reasons i can't really articulate, i suspect that the office rampage video is fake/staged. any other skeptics out there?

don't get me wrong, i *hope* that it's authentic.

Posted by: celery at June 6, 2008 8:24 PM

celery, initially I was thinking, "Hmm, those people seem to be hanging around a lot longer than I would." You'd think they'd clear the hell out of there instead of staying close to him.

On the other hand, people do crazy shit when confronted with danger -- the whole deer-in-headlights thing. Also, the part where he hits the woman with the monitor looked real, though a skilled effects person could easily fake that, too, I guess.

Well, DUH. I still posit it was a joke, that famous acerbic wit that Brits have. Weird how so many are taking this halfway serious.

Vermillion: defending black guys from Lost and hot skinny British chicks equally. God bless America.

OK, nobody died in Milkwaukee. A tormado touched down 5 miles from my parents'house, but no one was hurt, just a little tree damage. My nephew is fine. His dad came home and I went home and apparently got exeedingly drunjk. WShen youn drijnk beer thqat is 12% ABV, thaqt;s like twice the normal ABV, zo if I drink 4 12% ABV beers, that's the equivalent of 8 beers, right? If so, tjen i am 11 beers drunk. Nephew is fi8ne, thuough (with his dad). I cand only hope I'm this drunk when my friends make me go rolle3rskating tomorrow3.

Posted by: Three-nineteen at June 6, 2008 11:55 PM

Jay I don't know if you've seen the new Doctor Who yet, (I'm certain you're about to, at least) but here's my big question. (Hope I don't ruin anything, *Gulp*) Why Didn't the TARDIS translate what those bubble-mouth aliens said? This is like when Yorick's blood type suddenly changed in Y:The Last Man. They can't give me these inconsistencies! I catch them! Anyways, you're the local Whovian scholar in my book. This may keep me up at night.

Posted by: Rex at June 6, 2008 11:56 PM

Easy Jossholes, nowhere did I say that he never... and I mean ever, write characters that weren't skinny white chicks. Clearly, he did. Just as clearly, his love was with the Gellars, Dushkus and Glaus of the world. And making sure everyone talked similar in the Bendis-Sorkin tradition.

Posted by: I Laugh At You at June 7, 2008 12:22 AM

I don't know if that video was faked or not; the brunette woman using that blonde as a human shield seemed pretty real to me.

Posted by: Kris at June 7, 2008 1:27 AM

Why Didn't the TARDIS translate what those bubble-mouth aliens said?

Well, I'm in the local quorum anyway. Don't worry, no spoiling, I'm downloading BBC torrents each week. You mean the Hath? I couldn't remember if they'd been seen being understood or not. I checked Captain Jack's Monster File just now (which have to be seen on YouTube, damn UK-only video streams), which said nothing about it, and looked at the episode again and checked the wikis. I remembered some kind of translation but I was remembering seeing the actor say scripted lines, on the Confidential episode, which were then "bubbled" over. It's kind of vague and seems like Martha could just be interpreting what's being put in front of her and looking at head nods and whatnot, but when they're on the surface, Peck the Hath bubbles something in surprise and she chastises him, "uh, language!".

So, Martha can tell exactly what he's saying. We can't. Russell was pulling a Chewbacca/R2 on us.

Enjoy the drawring room fahss of a muhhhduh mystreh of a sci-fi alien next! (now, bring me a cucumber sandwich, crusts removed!)

Posted by: Jay at June 7, 2008 2:01 AM

"Pro-Kate"? I meant to say I want to be in the "Pro-Create Team" with Ms. Bekinsale. That said, I agree with the black dude who likes hot, white British chicks. Maybe its the English accent making her cheeky humor seem so whitty, or maybe its the tight-as-hell outfits she wears in her husband's movies, but I dig what she sells.

Posted by: JP at June 7, 2008 3:37 AM

I'm on the pro-get a fucking sense of humour team. It was clearly a joke. Like you've never made un-PC jokes. I get that celebrities always have people ready to jump up their asses for anything they say/do and that's their choice, but come on. You'd think pajibites would know better, yes? Or at least give less of a shit.

Posted by: Joker at June 7, 2008 6:41 AM

Thanks for the update, Bistro. I remember a tornado years ago in the OH that ripped the roof off of my favorite bargain department store down the street. *scary*

Posted by: greer at June 7, 2008 11:32 AM

According to Wiki, boys, "They seem fully sentient and while they don't speak a language intelligible to humans (even with the TARDIS's translation device)" But I kind of got the impression that Martha was carrying on a conversation and just imagining the response. (Kind of like I'd do with my cats. )

What'd you think of the daughter? (Besides being insanely hot) You think she's going to show up again? (Or get a spinoff like Sarah Jane, K9, Jack, and Rose did?) (God, when does Torchwood start again? I need my fix.)


And also, you two are a bit behind, yes? I'll be watching 4x09 tonight.

Posted by: Mara at June 7, 2008 1:33 PM

"Easy Jossholes, nowhere did I say that he never... and I mean ever, write characters that weren't skinny white chicks. Clearly, he did. Just as clearly, his love was with the Gellars, Dushkus and Glaus of the world."

...it was? I mean, Dushku is (a) not anorexic and (b) despite my most fervent wishes, no more than an occasional guest star in any of his three shows. Two of his three shows have male leads; Glau may be able to do twirly things, but she spent most of Firefly cowering and mumbling insanely while Torres, Fillion and Baldwin did the cool action stuff (unless Adam Baldwin is anorexic too?) Gellar is the one where you're closest to being right, and most of the major bad guys on her show handed her ass to her multiple times before being beaten by team efforts, cunning or good old surprise attacks (take the Master, Adam, the Mayor, Glory and Willow, plus randoms like Kralik and Kakistos along the way), such that by the end of her own show the world was saved by Willow and Spike, with an assist from Angel, while Buffy ran around getting stabbed and making speeches.

As for Buffy and Angel, two things. First of all, any of the skinny girls beating things up are super-powered. It's like saying "Pfft. Stan Lee's a moron - I mean, people can't *really* shoot laser beams from their eyes and move things with their minds!" Secondly, to dismiss all of his work as being "anorexic girls beating things up" is just the tiniest bit reductive, and kinda makes you sound like a moronic asshat who doesn't really know what (s)he's on about. Whedon has many, many flaws - just watch the last two seasons of BtVS to see that. But if you're going criticise someone, at least be accurate about it.

Posted by: Shay at June 7, 2008 1:51 PM

I always got the impression that Joss had more of a love for the supporting characters (Willow in particular, Cordy, Fred) than Buffy or Angel. That's just the impression I got from the commentaries, anyway.

Posted by: Mara at June 7, 2008 3:47 PM

"They seem fully sentient and while they don't speak a language intelligible to humans (even with the TARDIS's translation device)"

Well, that's what that writer thought, and the Who-wiki didn't even mention it, but Martha definitely teased him on his diction, so I think her mind could understand it but it's a cooler effect for the viewer to just have a bubbling without any intonation. Besides, having a language not be understood would be a big damn deal and they'd have to mention it, since it was a plot point in "Christmas Invasion". But, giggly ol' Russell just didn't deign to fully explain it, I guess.

I guess Rex is watching Sci-Fi, but no, I grab the BBC's like I said. The Eurovision fucked us up as I usually take over two episodes at a time so we had to make due with "Unicorn" and the '03 "Story of Doctor Who" for that week's shindig (and to not just waste the disc space). Only four more and I'm starting to get sad.

Yep, Georgia's pretty cute. Apparently the very end was Steven Moffat's idea. I guess he thought "I'm gonna be runnin this bitch next year and I want this is in the toybox!" Hell, for all we know they decided he'd take it last year and they've already cast 11 (though I do hope not).

Posted by: Jay at June 7, 2008 6:22 PM

Jay, as always I am in awe of your knowledge. I suppose the creators are allowed to mess with us a little. i just thought they suddenly didn't want to write dialogue so they just overlooked the ole TARDIS. Ok Russel T. Davies, you win this round but I'm keeping an eye on you.

Posted by: Rex at June 7, 2008 6:26 PM

"Yep, Georgia's pretty cute. Apparently the very end was Steven Moffat's idea. I guess he thought "I'm gonna be runnin this bitch next year and I want this is in the toybox!" Hell, for all we know they decided he'd take it last year and they've already cast 11 (though I do hope not)."

Tennant's cast through 2010, (Yee!)which will be when series 5 airs. (Boourns.) From the sounds of things, the Christmas special this year may be damn good indeed.

You guys are lucky! I don't get the new episodes here in Canada. I have to download them as soon as they come out. I think BBCK or BBCA show the older ones, but I'm not one to jump into a series like that mid-way. Our sci-fi channel here sucks ass.

I'm just quietly awaiting Ianto's appearance in DW, and hoping Gwen falls off a cliff. I would go to England and blow RTD if that happened.

Posted by: Mara at June 7, 2008 7:45 PM

So I can torrent new Who? This comes at the perfect time since I've just begun a torrenting crime wave the likes of which have never been seen this side of the Mississip. And Jay? Was that your impression of a Southern Belle? If so, I must find this new episode. I don't feel bad about torrenting them if I'm going to end up watching them on Sci-Fi. A clear conscience and a heretofore unseen wealth of episodes. Perfect.

Posted by: Rex at June 7, 2008 10:16 PM

http://www.mininova.org usually has them up pretty quickly, and they -usually- download within a few hours. (Sometimes less. I used to catch new Torchwood ones for under an hour on torrent). TVOkay.com has them sometimes, but not always.

But, uh.. torrenting is wrong, mmkay.

Posted by: Mara at June 7, 2008 10:41 PM

Ohhh, no, that was some rough phoneticizing of "upper class twit" English, as "The Unicorn and the Wasp" is basically a comedy of an Agatha Christie mystery, but co-starring Agatha Christie, to which there's a point. You'll see.

Yes, a viewer called Mad Martha generally leads the charge and gets new torrents up like clockwork, to where I was getting nervous that it was already 5 here today and it wasn't up yet. Then after a few hours the same file's showing up on various search sites and it's everywhere.

And of course most torrents I grab are things I'm going to buy when I can, or are things that aren't even available for sale (trust me, BBC and Rhino home video!). And don't forget, it's the only way to get unedited episodes of "Doctor Who Confidential". They put them on the dvd sets but they're cut down so they all fit on one disc. This year they're as long as the show itself.

Plus it tends to look better, they get that "roughened in translation" look on the Sci-Fi channel. Still, I appreciate them showing it on basic cable. You need more to see "Torchwood". It looks like next week's is a stand-alone monster, but then the king hell three part climax (aka, what the hell is actually happening with Rose and "The Darkness") begins. And tonight's and last week's, man, Moffat plantin' seeds and layin' down canon and being a gigantic tease.

Plus, again, Alex Kingston! In a spacesuit (in a lib'ry!)! Beautiful!

Posted by: Jay at June 8, 2008 1:42 AM

Huzzah. I already have 4x09 on my iPod, ready to watch tomorrow. Yeah, I do the same thing with torrents. If I can't get them here with (fucking) Shaw, I download them. And I only get movies that I already have (I can't seem to find a decent ripper.) There's just something about lazing in bed and watching two or three episodes of DW in a row that I enjoy, too. I hope that this year's Christmas episode is better. Don't hate me, but so far, I enjoyed The Christmas Invasion most. (I hated the Runaway Bride. Hated. I'm surprised I love Donna as much as I do now.)

I'm actually kind of excited to see Rose again, but even more so to see her Mum. I adore Jackie.

Posted by: Mara at June 8, 2008 4:12 AM

Oh hell, watching Confidential I see this is an even bigger tease as they're saying "that's important to what's happening in the rest of this series".

As Hellboy would say, GAH!!

Posted by: Jay at June 8, 2008 3:24 PM

I'm going to nitpick a teensy bit here, but the question mark at the end of But an entire academic conference devoted to "Buffy," "Firefly" and "Angel?" should go outside the quotations.

Posted by: serena at June 8, 2008 4:13 PM

Wait Wait Wait, You love Donna? Does she by some divine providence become interesting? I watch every episode hoping he finally kicks her out of the TARDIS. And now he goes and leaves Martha (My Love) behind AGAIN. It's too much for me.
Your Hellboy quote is a strange (yet wonderful) coincidence considering Mike Mignola was the latest victim of my torrential villiany. (Only because I can't find a good comic shoppe out in the sticks. Honest!)

Posted by: TyranThesaurus Rex at June 9, 2008 12:23 AM

Well, we're not best mates, but I did like "The Runaway Bride" BUT did not want her back for a regular gig, and yet now I'm perfectly happy to have her aboard. I did expect to be tolerating Donna, and I think The Doctor did too.

Meanwhile, the innate compassion and big heart she's shown since returning has been getting pummelled mercilessly, yet she loves being there. What she goes through in "Forest of the Dead" is both a hell of a wringer to put a character through, and a great demonstration of what Catherine Tate can really do. Not to mention FRAUGHT WITH PORTENT (with a bunch of that Moffat headfuckery and some new planting). Donna Noble, Citizen of the Earth, is apparently gonna have even more of a hell of a time in a few weeks. Besides, she hasn't been spotted on the Christmas Special set to this point (though Dervla Kirwan has, and no one knows in what capacity yet).

It would appear that heavy shit is going down around July 4th weekend.
