Hey! Next weekend, Stephen Tobolowsky and David Chen (from Slashfilm) are bringing The Tobolowsky Files to Boston and the Brattle Theater. It’s an amazing podcast, and if you’re in the area, seek it out. Don’t let the fact that I’ll be there dissuade you. (Slashfilm)

I don’t follow “Bones” because, really, there’s already enough on Thursday night to contend with. But I do know about the pregnancy storyline, and from an outsider’s perspective, I like the approach they’ve taken. What about y’all? (Film.com)

Did you know that 20 percent of all people will accept a friend request from a total stranger on Facebook? It’s true! I admit I do as well, as long as they have mutual friends with one of you folks because how am I supposed to know what all of your real names are? (Uproxx) And you know why that’s bad? Because the CIA and FBI is monitoring your Facebook usage, so if you befriend a stranger who just happens to be terrorist, the government will send you to Guantanamo. Or worse! Canada. (Uproxx)

We’re not running “Project Runway” recaps this season, so you’re just going to have to get your fix elsewhere, like here, which comes complete with pretty pictures. (Persephone)

I’ve been searching around for something to post in today’s PL to raise your hackles, but I’ve come up empty. So in light of this piece on how awful Comcast is, share with us your cable/Internet provider horror stories. I use DirectTV for cable (it’s way too expensive, but it’s the only one with the NFL Sunday Ticket) and Road Runner for Internet, which is actually very reliable. (Consumerist)

If you know what CSS3 means, then you can make Google do a barrel roll. Somebody should do this and report back with the results because I have no idea what any of this means, but it sounds kind of neat. (AcumenHoldings)

NoooOOOOOoooo! Dippin’ Dots has filed for bankruptcy? What will the astronauts eat for dessert? (Jezebel)

Here is the youngest looking 50 year old in America. (FilmDrunk)

The best moment of all of Thursday night’s television shows was not Andy and April’s trip to the Grand Canyon, the gay bash , Stanley’s rendition of “Closing Time” on “The Office,” or whatever it is that Charlie Day did on “It’s Always Sunny …,” it was the inappropriate answer to a question on Jeopardy. (WarmingGlow)

I’m late on this, but I’m not the regular Pajiba Lover around here (and Joanna will be back on Monday), but over on The Film Experience, frequent commenter Robert wrote about the original costume designs of The Swarm, which is a strange topic but is kind of a confluence of most of Robert’s interests. (TheFilmExperience)

Dude. Bank of America is truly the pits, y’all. (Nerve)

Jeeeeesus, Brett Ratner. Does your douchery know no bounds? (Movieline)

I don’t care what this movie is about, if Bill Murray as Franklin D. Roosevelt looks like this, I’m watching its face off. It’s ENTIRE face. (FSR)

The fourth season will be the last for HBO’s “Treme.” Good, now I won’t feel bad about not watching it. (Collider)

Your favorite two doctors have been merged into one T-shirt: Doctor Who and Dr. Seuss. It’s kind of awesome. (PopCandy)

I’m sure folks have noticed my sudden obsession with Animated GIFs. Shut up! Yes, I’m 5 years behind the rest of the world, but they’re so much fun. And these “subtle” GIFs escalate the joy without any of the seizures. (Unreality)

I’m late on this news, but a certain respected but largely unknown actor is jumping on to the 300 sequel, and I don’t like it. Not one bit. You’re better than this, Joel! (NewsinFilm)

I’ve seen this video on half a dozen sites today, but if you haven’t caught it yet, it’s brilliant. It’s a video made with jelly beans! And the song is super sweet.

Dustin Rowles is the publisher of Pajiba and is feeling very loopy and realizes that nothing in today’s Pajiba Love has anything to do with the image above with Tina Fey, but the caption was too perfect to pass up. He also realizes he’s overused exclamation points like a ninny and that there’s an apostrophe above that shouldn’t be there. What can I say? I like to make the grammar fascists twitch. Joanna will be back in all of her wonderful adorable ALL CAPS glory on Monday. In the meantime, buy a Pajiba T-shirt.

Way to go. Instead you brought Tina Fey back and presented Bill Murray as FDR and made me happy. FAIL!

Posted by: Jay at November 4, 2011 5:28 PM

Yeah, Canada is just AWFUL, what with our functioning government and economy and everything. We still get Pajiba - obviously - and can watch all the same TV shows at all the same times. What more do you need? The Mexican food isn't as good though. I'll give you that one.

Posted by: Mavler at November 4, 2011 5:49 PM

Oh, and you're not going to go to jail (possibly for the rest of your life) because you've got a couple of joints in your pocket.

Also those will be some damn fine joints in your pocket.

You know, I'm not Olivia Munn's biggest fan, but Brett Ratner may just be one of the most deplorable human beings on the planet. Obviously, he's in a class below the likes of Ghadafi, Kim Jong-Il, or Bin Laden, but he's certainly right up there with Rasputin and Carrot Top.

Posted by: RobP at November 4, 2011 6:07 PM

Yeah, but no Hulu? C'mon!

Posted by: Socrates_Johnson at November 4, 2011 6:20 PM

OK I am an unabashed fan of Bones and I will agree with some of what they said on Film.com but honestly didn't we all know that eventually they would end up together? Do we really need to see that? It wasn't going to be anything spectacular and I actually appreciated the reality of the whole "I'm grieving, let's sleep together" scene last season.
I think this whole thing is sort of dumb though and am getting a bit tired of the show...It's feeling a bit stale so I hope this is the last season before it really begins to stink because I would watch any of these actors on a new show in a heartbeat.

Posted by: JenVegas at November 4, 2011 6:27 PM

I don't watch Bones but I'm a huge Castle/Beckett shipper and if, after years of waiting for them to become a couple, I don't get as much as a kiss... by God I will burn this whole world down!
Too much drama? Cut back on my meds? Going away now.

Posted by: Irina at November 4, 2011 6:36 PM

Mavler, you've sold me. Now how do I get in?

Posted by: John G. at November 4, 2011 6:38 PM

Socrates,

Yeah, the HULU thing kinda sucks. The CRTC is slower in adapting to technology than the FCC. But, they don't allow bullshit propaganda like Fox News and Janet Jackson's boob wasn't a big deal here. You win some, you lose some.

John G,

Take I-75 north to Detroit. Turn off at the Ambassador Bridge. (You'll actually be driving south across the border.) It's good here. You'll like it.

thanks for reminding me I have a free lunch coming at Hooters,

Posted by: logan at November 4, 2011 7:18 PM

So basically the Kina Grannis music video is the Wuzzle offspring of the White Stripes' "Fell In Love with a Girl" coupled with Oren Lavie's "Her Morning Elegance". Nevertheless, it was still a creative video and they should be proud of a video that is far more than just an artist prancing around on stage.

Still, I was more impressed with the "Making Of" of this video. I found it was more entertaining than the finished product. Perhaps just because you can see all the time and effort that was put into this. It doesn't matter so much what the end result looked like, but just that they were able to finish it at all.

Dear Brett Ratner,

Women would rather sleep with a man who has an itsy-bitsy than a man who will dismiss her as a piece of spoilt meat and brag about forgetting her name.

I know this from first hand experience.

Love,

Mavler--functioning government? You call 30% of Canadians voting for a majority government functioning? Do you ever watch question period? Check out 5 minutes for a great example of the opposite of function and decorum.

(just don't want our American friends to think we've got government worked out up here or anything. It's sometimes better north of the 49th, but, damn, you sure can do beer a hell of a lot better than we do)

Posted by: DizMixen at November 4, 2011 8:31 PM

"I banged her a few times, but I forgot her."

This is how Olivia 'Look at me! Look at me! LOOK. AT. ME.' Munn goes out?

Why am I not surprised? I wonder how many other guys have to say the same thing bout her.

Again, not defending McDouchey here but this is Bay vs. Fox all over again.

Posted by: haplo at November 4, 2011 8:31 PM

So, thanks for introducing me to Kina Grannis and the video that highlights her boobs for everyone. I know we live in a world that sexualizes everyone, but now the government has to tell my neighbors what I just did.

Posted by: Tao at November 4, 2011 9:02 PM

Well like every other country on Earth we have our own issues, certainly. I guess my idea of a functioning government is different from yours. My idea of a functioning government is one where one party doesn't just refuse to cooperate with the other party on everything and then hope the public will see that as a failure of the OTHER party and vote them out of office, thereby giving power back to the people who fucked everything up in the first place.

(That's just what it looks like is going on in Washington to the rest of the world this year, by the way.)

And who's doing beer better than who? That point got a little confusing.

Posted by: Mavler at November 4, 2011 9:22 PM

Thanks for linking to my post on The Swarm. That whole Oscar Horrors series was a way to force my whole essence on The Film Experience. When else will I get to write about truly terrible horror films for Nathaniel?

Posted by: Robert at November 4, 2011 10:15 PM

Wow, I think this is the first time I've ever said this. Ever. In regards to the picture/caption and lack of delivery.

Ahem.

Just seach 'do a barrel roll' in google....don't need to know any css3 for that....

Posted by: mattbless at November 5, 2011 12:09 AM

If that headline doesn't get you a million hits, there's something wrong with America.

Posted by: The Mutt at November 5, 2011 12:39 AM

Pardon me, I'm slow, but which of these links takes me to Tina Fey?

Posted by: chanohack at November 5, 2011 9:03 AM

Bah, that last line musta been the beer talking.

Posted by: DizMixen at November 5, 2011 9:26 AM

Bones Bones Bones. sighhhh.

Honest to Gormogon, I am not upset with the show because we didn't see the much-anticipated 'porn' between Booth and Bones. Even the goddawful Perfect Submissive Blonde Girlfriend to Make Bones Feel Inferior storyline can be forgiven. [I AM over it, I swear]. What infuriates me is the rank, unmitigated, misogynistic asshattery of the showrunners, who turned a once sophisticated [if emotionally constipated] highly intelligent and independent female character into an emotionally retarded doormat with the social skills of a child raised by wolves. On top of which, every f*ckwitted, jerky thing Booth says or does is treated by the writers as another manifestation of his magnificent NOBILITY. GAHH. They make poor Brennan walk on eggshells to avoid offending His Boothiness and I am OVER IT.

I said before the premiere that if Bones had to endure ONE MORE PATRONIZING LIFE LESSON from a lesser being I was done with the show.

Well, I am done with the show.

I was expecting a Gregory House/Dr. Demento mashup and THIS is what I get?

Fuck. That.

I saw that Brett Ratner thing yesterday, and his comments about Olivia Munn made me do the unthinkable: like and sympathize with Olivia Munn.

YOU BASTARD, HOW COULD YOU?

Posted by: Marcela at November 5, 2011 12:20 PM

Loved that video! Thanks!

Posted by: ChickaBoom! at November 5, 2011 12:42 PM

,, I imagined a mashup of Doctors Who and House. (Here's secretly hoping that Laurie will be the 12th Doctor.)

"Did you know that 20 percent of all people will accept a friend request from a total stranger on Facebook?"

As part of a (failed) experiment I set up a fake FB profile and set about friending as many women who I didn't know, as I could. I stopped when I reached 600 'friends', all of whom had no connection to me. Only 2 women responded to my friend request with 'do I know you?' and when I said 'no,but I'm harmless' (my rule was that I could never lie to anyone) they accepted anyway.

But yes, in my real profile I accept some friend requests from strangers if we have mutual friends. Then I delete them if I find their posts boring...

I can't put my finger on it, but something about that pic of Tina Fey disturbs me.

Posted by: csb at November 5, 2011 7:25 PM

Mmmmmm....

While I could hunt you for sport for the misleading headline, the header pic is simply too distracting.

A good-lookin' woman in a tank top (fitting just right) and some strategically unbuttoned jeans can do more for my libido than a thousand bikini shots and semi-nudes.

Of course, I must castigate myself for thinking such foul thoughts about a married woman, but them's the breaks.

P.S. After recovering form the sexy, I read some more links. While the Ratner thing was repugnantly douchey, I admit I kinda got more concerned over a link saying that Jennifer Lopez is trying to make a Carmen Sandiego movie.

Seriously, you wanted to raise hackles but skipped over THAT little tidbit?

Posted by: Vermillion at November 5, 2011 8:13 PM

@Vermillion,

They're gonna hunt us for sport?

Good blog! I truly love how it is simple on my eyes and the data are well written. I'm wondering how I could be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your RSS which must do the trick! Have a great day!
