I shouldn't even be here right now. I SHOULD BE GETTING INTO MY COSTUME! If I don't hurry, my facepaint won't be dry before I get to the MOONVIE theater, and everyone will be like "hahah, you look like you're only 3,000 years old!?" I would die from embarrassment, IF I WASN'T ALREADY DEAD. And if I could feel emotions, like embarrassment. This guy knows what I am talking about. TEAM GHOSTS!
Anyway, got to run FLY. (Get it? You get it! DRACULAS!) After the jump, the five Highest Rated comments of the week, as voted on by you, the Lowest Rated comment, and the Editor's Choice.
Videogum Movie Club Reminder: Twilight: New Moon• In a very special Videogum Teen Korner edition of the Videogum Movie Club, we will be seeing Twilight: New Moon this weekend. ALL OF US. And that's fresh. See you Monday to talk about it, if I haven't sold everything I own and moved to Forks, WA to find my own MAGICAL LOVER!
Oh man. RAISIN' THE STAKES! What is going to be next for these guys? "Did you think that the freakout videos might have hurt your chances in this year's Presidental election?" "No, I mean, I just kind of feel like, you know, that people would make the right choice in the ballot box and they did. Now I am the President of the United States and stuff and, like, GOD DAMN IT NOW I AM HAVING A REAL FREAK OUT THAT IS NOT FAKE AT ALL." Believable! Obviously, these can't be fake, because...you couldn't fake something in exactly the same way that many times in a row? Stephen may be the world's greatest freakout kid*, but his brother is clearly the world's greatest logic kid.
Oh, but SIDENOTE: you would think that with the millions of views on their videos and whatever company is sponsoring this viral marketing campaign for Diet Rage Drinks or whatever this is, that they could GET A BETTER CAMERA. These things always look like they were filmed on a walkie-talkie.
Look, people falling down is always funny. Always. Duh Aficionado magazine's special End of the Decade Commemorative Issue. I mean, you don't want people to actually get hurt. We're all human beings trying to make it to the finish line, or whatever. But, you know. And even when people do get hurt, it's still pretty funny. It's pretty much just an infallible rule. Even when the people falling down are fake, CGI people, it is funny. Like, do you remember at the end of Titanic when the ship snaps in half and goes vertical into the air and all those CGI people fall 10 stories into the water, bouncing off of railings and walls and stuff? That was the best part of the movie. I'M THE KING OF THE WORLOLOLOLOLD!
But if regular people (or regular CGI people) falling is funny, Tila Tequila (who is not normal but might be CGI) falling is the funniest, especially if it's while she is doing some bizarre kind of NSFW, or at least NSFL, web-streaming strip show for her "fans." What is wrong with her?
This remains completely unbelievable. This is clearly your show. Starring all of your boyfriends. And all of your girlfriends. Living in your house. On your shore. For now. (Thanks for the tip, Edith.)
So, as you probably know by now, Oprah has announced that she is leaving her talk show after next season. This morning, she made it official with an on-air announcement in which she explained the reason for her departure. From the New York Times:
"So why walk away and make next season the last? Here is the real reason," she said, staring into the camera. "I love this show. This show has been my life. And I love it enough to know when it's time to say goodbye. Twenty-five years feels right in my bones and it feels right in my spirit. It's the perfect number, the exact right time."
Huh. So the "real reason" is basically "because." You are leaving the show because you love it and also because of the number 25? Sure. I mean, you are the boss! Just tell me where to pick up my free car and you won't hear any more questions from me.
Anyway, the guys and I got together and made you something to show our appreciation for everything that you've done over the years:
There were lots of great laffs and memorable moments last night, not to mention plenty of casual jokes about the environment because in order to save something you must tease it (Hobbes*), but the one thing that people were talking about more than any other aspect in last night's line up was Al Gore's cameo teeth on 30 Rock. Did you see those things?
Obviously, Nobel Peace Prize recipient Al Gore has done a lot of good in this world, so it might seem cheap to focus on his teeth of all things, but WHOA. What is going on in there? Enhance!
Carrie Prejean turned the video camera off, put on some clothes, and stepped out of her house. It was a beautiful day outside. The air smelled like apples, and the late morning light hit the world in just such a...
After watching Death Sentence, a terrible movie starring Kevin Bacon as a father in search of vigilante justice directed by Saw's James Wan, Gabe embarked on The Hunt For The Worst Movie of All Time. This is his sad journey.
If you are a sassy and sarcastic young man in an American sitcom who represents the sitcom writer's desire that a nerdy Jewish teenager can somehow be the desirable romantic hero in this world, then eventually you will get a...

Blogging about TV and movies isn't all fun and videogames. Every week, Lindsay or Gabe will be presented with a physical or mental challenge that tests their bravery,patience, and taste.
The Challenge: I had to go on a 3.5 hour bus tour of totally random TV and film locations in New York City. Alone, and wearing a specific ridiculous tshirt. And I had to find someone to take my picture...
Uh. OK. Well, first let's address what this movie did well, like the disappointed parents we are (or at least that I am), recognizing that the negative feedback won't be useful or constructive if it isn't preceded by something positive....
