Not the Bees!

The A.V. Club put out a fantastic list of the best bad movies of the ’00s, including my personal fave, The Room, which I recently attempted to make a case for myself. Can anyone suggest any additions? (AV Club)

Ask Jeeves released a list of their most frequent internet queries for 2009 with predictably hilarious results. (Agent Bedhead)

Todd Phillips, director of The Hangover, attempts to justify the sequel which will almost definitely be a pile of guano. Yeah, nice try asshole. (Screen Junkies)

What a surprise, some naked model got naked for PETA. At this point, I would be more shocked if someone represented PETA with all their clothes on. (Litelysalted)

HOLY COW! Meredith Baxter, “Family Ties” matriarch and star of countless Lifetime movies about women who are abused/alcoholics/junkies/stalked/etc., has come out of the closet at age 62. (Celebitchy)

Huh. I never thought that one single product could so adequately sum up everything that’s wrong with America, but there you go. (Warming Glow)

George Clooney has a new girlfriend, and fortunately this one doesn’t share a name with any Pajibans, that I know of. (Superior Gossip)

Nothing warms my cold little heart like smart alec-ey people openly mocking homophobic protesters right to their stupid bigoted faces. (ASWOBA)

I couldn’t justify embedding another sickeningly cute video of a kitten on its back in today’s Pajiba Love, but that doesn’t mean I won’t link to one. Ha! (FourFour)

Some Twilight fan created a website called “My Life is Twilight” because, of course they did. No further commentary needed. (Film Drunk)

Hey, it’s everybody’s favorite time of the week — in addition to “No Whining Wednesday” it’s time for another exciting edition of Harriet Carter Wednesday. For people who like to imagine that their morning coffee is diarrhea water! (IBBB)

Corey Feldman’s divorce proceedings are already going, uhm, predictably sour. (Thundersquee!)

If you simply can’t wait three more weeks for the opening of Sherlock Holmes you can now have the next best thing: Sherlock Holmes-themed taquitos from your neighborhood 7-11 store. (The Playlist)

Ooh. Anyone remember those M.U.S.C.L.E. figures from the ’80s? I loved those things. And here are the batshit weirdest ones. (Topless Robot)

I didn’t post anything about Tiger Woods today, because celebrity scandals are fun for like a day until they become all-encompassing media dead weights. So instead I’ll just let this Chinese news outlet do the job:

You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.

I'd be willing to buy a Holmito combo, but that taco better have some cocaine.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at December 2, 2009 1:06 PM

I'm not technically a lurker, but I suck at this game. Insert witty comment here.

Posted by: Nimue at December 2, 2009 1:10 PM

Oops wrong thread, pretend that never happened. Bleach your brain.

Posted by: Nimue at December 2, 2009 1:13 PM

Hah! too late.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at December 2, 2009 1:14 PM

AdventureMan is baaaaaaack!

Posted by: figgy at December 2, 2009 1:15 PM

Well America, you sure showed us. Your Freedom Tray has our Gay Marriage Moose beat. Hands down.

Posted by: admin at December 2, 2009 1:16 PM

Heehee. "Is Lady Gaga a man?"

I suspect Jeeves don't know either.

Posted by: figgy at December 2, 2009 1:18 PM

The first Hangover sucked anyway.

This Tiger Woods thing is mildly funny and now maybe the asshole won't be able to make so much damn money in endorsements.

George Clooney's new girlfriend looks a lot like his best bud Cindy Crawford who is married to his other best bud Randy Gerber which just goes to show you that even George Clooney can't always get the girl he'd like to be banging.

Posted by: becks at December 2, 2009 1:22 PM

My "No Whining Wednesday" is complete. Anytime I see the Nic Cage "NOT THE BEEEEESSS" picture I can't help but smile. My day is now complete.

Posted by: ashes at December 2, 2009 1:25 PM

If anything this is the first time I'm able to see Tiger as more than an anglo-saxon/asian corporate shill.

Stay strong Tiger!

/wishes Woods would have gotten down with higher caliber trim

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at December 2, 2009 1:25 PM

J2K was robbed. Obviously, that is the most horrible, hopelessly entertaining in spite of utter fuckery film of the Aughts. Skirt made of ties. Hovercraft racing. Southern Belle villain with Daddy issues. Famewhores. Outdoor beach scenes with digitally added blue skies because the sun barely broke during the winter shoot. I could go on. I won't.

Surely nothing could quelch my anger over this.

Ooh...pretty kitty...

Posted by: Robert at December 2, 2009 1:28 PM

....You watched that?

Posted by: figgy at December 2, 2009 1:30 PM

How'd it get burned? How'd it get burned? HOW'D IT GET BURRRNNED!


Yup, instant classic.

Posted by: ashes at December 2, 2009 1:46 PM

How does any list of bad movies that includes "Crossroads" not include "Glitter"?

Rotten Tomatoes scores it

"Crossroads" 14%

"Glitter" 7%

hang in there slim,we haven`t seen the best yet,think all this is going over well in the kobe household?

Posted by: pasadenamike at December 2, 2009 1:53 PM

I'm feeling it, Pasadena, let's all pray for him.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at December 2, 2009 1:54 PM

Is anyone else really starting to like Adventureman? It's like an English as a Second Language student is translating something from a foriegn language. The only problem is that they are using a literal translation instead of using context to find the conversational phrases. I almost understood that one! Ha! Anyway, I fresh from the de-lurking comment thread and feeling frisky!

Posted by: Peanut_Butter_And_James at December 2, 2009 2:00 PM

I'm with Slim (it's wierd to type that), but Tiger should be hitting some champagne room shit. This is NOT amateur night at the local titty club, holmes. YOU WON THE US OPEN ONE ONE FUCKING LEG! His mantra should be "A-list only if the striped one is to stray." Anything below a Hathaway/Alba shouldn't even be an afterthought.

Plus his wife is SMOKING.

Posted by: John Denver's Wingman at December 2, 2009 2:04 PM

I thought Adventureman was riffing on some sort of mistranslation from the Chinese media video, but I guess not. And that video is hilarious.

Posted by: katy at December 2, 2009 2:06 PM

All the 'even's make my head hurt.

Posted by: figgy at December 2, 2009 2:17 PM

Tiger, my man, my offer still stands.

O.J.

Posted by: , at December 2, 2009 2:26 PM

Sorry Figgy. I didn't to make even your head that much. Maybe the future i'll be far to speak even do more like. Would then use easier go want to decide? I decide to before my dog afraid that not even stand up.

Posted by: Adventureman at December 2, 2009 2:33 PM

This may be the fistful of Advil I shoved down my throat talking, but Twilight Is My Life may be the funniest thing EVER. If this site was a person...Well, I wouldn't fuck it because quite frankly I'd be a little embarassed to be seen with it in public, but I would definitely send it some slutty cell phone pics then call it a filthy child prostitute.

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at December 2, 2009 2:41 PM

*brainsplode*

Posted by: figgy at December 2, 2009 2:41 PM

*looks at Adventureman post again*

I don't . . . what . . . guh?

Posted by: Lauren at December 2, 2009 3:00 PM

That list was perfect, and the best part is each and every one of those film-makers, even Von Scheiße Führer himself, Uwe Boll, believed they were making a good movie. Easily the best comedies of the decade.

Posted by: George at December 2, 2009 3:17 PM

I think we have to be careful here. Given the very low bar set by Steve Phillips' Tubby Temptress (and Letterman's fling), I think Tiger Woods did very, very well for himself on the "Official 2009 Women To Have An Affair With" rankings.

I think his choices are on par with, say, Elliot Spitzer's and he didn't even have to pay like $2,000 an hour or whatever.

Let's reel in a bit here and be a bit more realistic in all of this. Everyone's getting caught up in the hype.

Posted by: Forbiddendonut at December 2, 2009 3:26 PM

I will officially be starting a counterwebsite called 'Man, Fuck Twilight'
Who's in?

Posted by: Nadine at December 2, 2009 3:28 PM

I don't get the Adventureman post, either, Lauren.

Posted by: BWeaves at December 2, 2009 3:37 PM

That Twilight list was batshit crazy hilarious. Oh wait, it's for real, well fuck a duck.

Posted by: Morgan LaFai at December 2, 2009 3:38 PM

I'm in if you take out the comma so it's named "Man Fuck Twilight". People show up to the site looking for full-size naked Edward Cullen posters and sparkly dildos and get us. Think of the comments!

Posted by: Three-nineteen at December 2, 2009 3:39 PM

"Sherlock Holmes-themed taquitos from your neighborhood 7-11 store."

I read that as " Sherlock Holmes-themed TATOOS from your neighborhood 7-11 store."

Posted by: BWeaves at December 2, 2009 3:44 PM

To be honest, I'd rather get a tattoo than a taquito from 7-11.

Posted by: Three-nineteen at December 2, 2009 3:47 PM

Three-Ninteen, snerk

That site makes me sor of...both mad and sad. Mad because Twilight is just SHITE and it makes me angry that people are so obsessed over it and not ...well, other, not shit things.
And sad because jesus fucking christ I've never seen a bigger group of sadsack losers in my life. I'm all for being yourself and having your little obsessions here and there but JESUS.
Clearly, the books are filled with a gas that makes the readers obsess.
There is no explanation. None

'Today, I found the website 'My Life is Twilight'
M,FL'

'Today, I had to endure the existence of Twilight and Twihards for another day. M,FL'

Posted by: Nadine at December 2, 2009 3:58 PM

So nobody but me is upset that Meredith Baxter Birney is a lesbian? Gah, I keep forgetting when you people were born. That's okay, not your fault. Where the hell is bucdaddy?

Posted by: sansho1 at December 2, 2009 4:39 PM

Right here. I'm sure glad she waited until she got catcher's-mitt face before she came out, so my precious spank-bank memories are intact.

Posted by: , (TCFKAB), at December 2, 2009 4:47 PM

Yep, she was smoking hot back then. And such a good mom, too. Making for a rather complicated package, spank-fodder-wise....

Posted by: sansho1 at December 2, 2009 5:00 PM

sansho1: I was actually really happy to read that Meredith Baxter was a lesbian. Having read the interview, she seems truly happy now, and that she wasn't for much of her life. The more people who come out of the closet, especially such family safe people as the mom from Family Ties, the better. It is a great way to counter the homophobia being spewed by many religious institutions.

Posted by: Morgan LaFai at December 2, 2009 5:09 PM

That Freedom Tray actually looks pretty useful. Stupid name, yeah, but still.

Posted by: spoobnooble at December 2, 2009 5:10 PM

Morgan: well said, and I'll happily stipulate that anyone should speak the truth. I'm just sad about this particular truth...because I've got this time machine that I'm building, see...and it's all so that the adult me can travel to 1985 and hit on Meredith Baxter Birney, you know.....and it sucks that even if I get to retroactively sleep with her, she's not gonna really enjoy it.......and even though I'll know it's because she's (unbeknownst, perhaps even to herself) a lesbian...............I'll still blame myself..................oh God, the pain...................................

Posted by: sansho1 at December 2, 2009 5:31 PM

Wait, we're still dubbing things "Freedom __ "? I thought the whole point of that a few years back was to give a big "Fuck You" to France. Is the tray French?

Trays are useful, yes. But labeling them "Freedom Trays" and making them red, white, & blue just to drive up sales makes me stabby.

I can't get the Twilight life link to open. :(

Anyone else feel like AdventureMan ripped some pages out of the dictionary and put them on his dartboard and that's how he writes a sentence, one dart at a time?

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at December 2, 2009 5:36 PM

I think AdventureMan is a writer for Family Guy.

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits at December 2, 2009 5:38 PM

sansho1: Good luck with your time machine. Just remember, don't use today's knowledge to change the past or you will create an infinity loop. With that in mind, you totally have a shot with the 1985 Meredith Baxter. Happy hunting.

Posted by: Morgan LaFai at December 2, 2009 5:42 PM

I really thought that AdventureMan was a one off when he posted something on the Flash Forward review a while ago. Now I see that he really just must be fucking with us.

Posted by: ashes at December 2, 2009 5:44 PM

I think AdventureMan is a writer for Family Guy.

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits at December 2, 2009 5:38 PM

TOTALLY! It's like a robot version of Stewie that has malfunctioned! Damn you, Seth McFarlane, damn you to hell!

Posted by: Peanut_Butter_And_James at December 2, 2009 5:51 PM

Mwahahahaha. If AdventureMan isn't righting for Family Guy he so should be. It might actually make the show funnier.

Posted by: Morgan LaFai at December 2, 2009 6:07 PM

They really don't need to ask Jeeves, he's a hack, I have all the answers.


1. What is Twitter?

The last sign of the end of times.

2. Have I got swine flu?

Throw a glass of water on your face, if it turns to steam, head to the nearest cast member of The Hills, and cough in their face.

If the cast is unavailable, please cough on Joe Francis as a substitute.

3. Is Lady Gaga a man?

It took you 4 months to figure that out.

4. Who is Aleksandr Orlov?Have I got Ha

If you're not even going to finish the question, you're a waste of my time.

5. Is Michael Jackson dead?

No, he was abducted by aliens, he escaped, and is now living in a retirement home with Elvis and a black JFK.

6. Where is my nearest Primark?

As long as you don't shop at Hot Topic, it doesn't matter where you buy clothes in my book.

7. Who is the father of Heather’s baby in EastEnders?

John Edwards, and the prick's not paying child support.

8. What is the Lisbon Treaty?

The treaty signed between America and the rest of the world to allow all further toxic sewage dumps to be held in Crawford, Texas.

9. When will the recession end?

Who knows, as long as Glenn Beck is on the air, it may never end. You know what to do to end that.

10. What is cervical cancer?

A horrible vaginal disease caused by George Lopez, I recommend we throw him in a vat of drain cleaner, just to be on the safe side.

You see, I have all the answers, as long as your not concerned with superfluous things such as facts.

Posted by: George at December 2, 2009 6:12 PM

Figgy, please allow me to communicate with Adventureman- I speak jive.

Sheeeet, man, that honkey mus' be messin' my old lady got to be runnin' col' upsihd down his head!
Translation: GOLLY, THAT WHITE FELLOW SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM MY WIFE OR I WILL PUNCH HIM.

I say hey sky, s'other say I won say I pray to J I get the same ol' same ol.
Translation: I KNEW A MAN IN A SIMILAR PREDICAMENT, AND HE ENDED UP BEING SORRY.

Knock yourself a pro slick. Gray matter back got perform' us' down I take TCBin, man'.
Translation: DON'T BE NAIVE ARTHUR. EACH OF US FACES A CLEAR MORAL CHOICE.

You know wha' they say: See a broad to get that bodiac lay'er down an' smack 'em yack 'em.
Translation: EARLY TO BED, EARLY TO RISE, MAKES A MAN HEALTHY, WEALTHY AND WISE.

Col' got to be! Yo!
Translation: HOW TRUE!
Sheeeeeeet!
Translation: GOLLY.

Hope that helps.

You're all nuts. Especially Logar but especially Pinky Mcladybits.

I've never been as to write go look more like. I spend decided to use every time licking Popsicle go want. Thank you but I am next day worried that I couldn't try it. I've even want at school to make more like Pajiba to use me never. You are an important part of the computer.

Posted by: Adventureman at December 2, 2009 7:07 PM

There's an inherent beauty in your words, Adventureman. That or I'm getting high on nail polish fumes.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at December 2, 2009 7:13 PM

Speaking of this 'Family Guy' show. I tuned in for about 4 minutes the
other night. So the joke is that no one knows/hears/cares that the baby
Stewart speaks. And he's British? But the dog's in on it? And he talks also?
But only to the man? Geez, more research to do on today's popular culture.

Posted by: Ms MoMo at December 2, 2009 7:24 PM

I'm not sure if I should be highly offended or honored that Adventureman thinks I am especially nuts.


(Totally honored.)

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits at December 2, 2009 7:24 PM

Adventureman is Chuck Palahniuk in full "Pygmy" mode. It's a beautiful thing.

Posted by: , (TCFKAB), at December 2, 2009 9:13 PM

I am absolutley not saying this to be mean, but it seems like pajiba love is creeping close and closer to becoming "yesterday's videogum."

Send me to more varied places on the interweb!

Posted by: I'm here every day at December 2, 2009 9:32 PM

At least in "Pygmy" you could decipher what the hell Palahniuk was talking about. AdventureMan...not so much

Posted by: ashes at December 2, 2009 10:29 PM

random observations:

1. meredith baxter is a lesbian, not so shocking. but she's hawking a skin care line with a face looking suspiciously like beef jerky? it's like nic cage selling shampoo!!!

2. the list of worst movies of the 00's should include Halloween 2. (i'm still pissed about that one!)

3. i wish the guy who made "the room" would make a movie with r kelly. it could be called "trapped in the closet in the room"!!!

me = genius

Posted by: glittergirl at December 3, 2009 6:31 AM

Re: Meredith Baxter--that's why you gotta stay out of the sun, folks. Sure, I'm pasty white but I'm totally wrinkle free.

,-- Glitter's on the other page. I've read about but never before seen anything from The Room--that was unbelievably awful. Was there no one on the whole production with the guts to stand up and scream "This sucks and we will be forever mocked for it!"? I don't even want to think about the main dude being in sex scenes. He looks like a hardcore tranny.

The Freedom Tray and Twilight site were massively depressing. And just to prove that increased association with all things Twilight makes you dumber, it took me three tries to spell "...light" right. What I love about the tray video was how the woman in the car is first handed the supposed "crappy" tray that has a much more convenient handle for carrying and yet spills it, but has no trouble with the bulky handle-less version they're trying to hock.

And you guys continue to be hilarious.

Posted by: DeadBessie at December 3, 2009 10:59 AM

I'd missed that second page, DeadBessie, thanks for directing me.

I thought a "Top 8" was a strange number.

Posted by: , at December 3, 2009 11:18 AM

I found a HOTTEST interracial club =MixedConnect--*__*--C 0 M=for black Women and white Men, or black Men and white Women, to interact with each other. Interracial is not a problem here, but a great merit to cherish!

We don't get involved too much in link baiting, but free tools are out there to help you pull links organically. Takes some research to dig through all the trash offers or you could put money into developing your own. We prefer to use web-based form tactics - people just feel more comfortable submitting a form so they don't have to subscribe to anything. Just my 2 cents. :)

Posted by: Genius SEO at December 31, 2010 10:03 PM

Not 100% sure I all of that, but I pretty much agree with the majority of what you said.

Posted by: Harpreet the Web Design Guy at January 17, 2011 4:17 PM

Say thanks a lot for your time and effort to have put these things together on this site. Mary and I very much valued your ideas through your own articles with certain things. I realize that you have several demands on your schedule so the fact that you took just as much time like you did to steer people like us via this article is actually highly liked.
