I tried to start my own Best New Party Game on Twitter last night. Has it taken Twitter by storm? No it has not. Has your mom written me like, “@videogum Lots Of Love, I can’t stop playing yr new game, it is 2 much fun #desperatepassions.” Your mom has said nothing. On the one hand, that is kind of a bummer. I tried to participate in this human world of ours, and the human world was like “u could have just as easily not tried to participate.” On the other hand, the only thing more shameful than failing at Twitter is being really good at Twitter. “Oh, he is one of the best when it comes to Twitter.” “Is he?” “Yes.” “That’s too bad.” And besides, that just means MORE PARTY GAME FOR US. Right, you guys? Right? Riiiight?* The game is simple: #HonestMovieTitles. You get it. I’ll go first:

  • There Will Not Actually Be That Much Blood
  • Honey, The Kids Are Running Around on a Stupid Looking Sound Stage
  • Split Personality Club
  • Indiana Jones and the Second to Last (Let’s Hope!) Crusade
  • No Country For Any Men, When You Think About It, Too Scary!

You get the idea! Car! Game on!

P.S. As you can see, my head is clearly in a yogurt cup, so I’m leaving early today on a much-wanted long weekend. When the Gabe’s away the Monsters will play, or whatever, ugh, sorry, bye. See you guys on Monday.

Gabe: Ice Cream Cake, I messed up! Boo hoo hoo, I’m a big baby who wears a diaper apparently.
Ice Cream Cake: Don’t worry. You will always have your best friend: me, Ice Cream Cake!

  39. ALSO THIS site FUCKING wins. DO YOU guys realize that GABE ISN’T even writing ON HERE, AND YET we are still HERE WRITING things on A DAY old POST? This SHIT IS amazing! LET’S KEEP it UP, y’all!

  40. omg, you guys. this is becca, but since Videogum is all wonky, it signed me in as An American Patriot.
    I feel like Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost. and An American Patriot is Patrick Swayze. or is it the other way around?

    • This post was a little like hearing Bobcat Goldthwait speak in his normal voice for the first time.

    • WAIT WHAT? Has MY ACCOUNT been fuckin HACKED? What is GOING on?!

      • no. your account has not been hacked. videogum has been doing this for the past 2 days. it logged me in as christopher and swinglow yesterday. i have no idea what’s going on, but when I saw it had logged me in as you, I HAD to take the opportunity to post.
        it was just too good to pass up.
        u understand, of course.
        if videogum ever logs you in as me, feel free to write some crazy shit.

        • It’s COOL BECCA. I was JUST A LITTLE worried. I appreciate THAT YOU DIDN’T fuck SOME SHIT up. That could HAVE BEEN LETHAL. With great POWER COMES great responsibility. OR FUCKIN whatever. If I EVER get LOGGED in as YOU I’LL BE sure to POST SOME of my MUSINGS on religion.

        • I can’t believe you played that on the level. You could have caused so much mischief!
          I’m going to commence signing in and out until it logs me in as Da Cake Eatur, at which point I will mount an off-topic but spirited defense of Faulkner’s later work that will blow everyone’s mind.

        • Becca, I’m not trying to be your girlfriend or anything, but I have to say that your taste in token-black-girl cartoon avatars is adorable.

    • (you’re secretly living my night-dream-mare right now)

    • I’m actually really jealous of you right now.

  48. I feel bad for anyone reading these comments who HASN’T seen the sixth sense. Major spoilers. BTW, today was an example of why Videogum needs BOTH Gabe and Lindsey. Who’s going to keep us toddlers babysat when Gabe goes on vacation?

    • We’re like that kid that’s driving the car, and Gabe’s the dad taping it in the passenger seat.

    • Yeah, for some reason everyone took the party game as “rename a movie to spoil the ending” which I don’t think was the intention.
      Also if Lindsay was still here we wouldn’t all look as pathetic as we do for checking videogum even though nothing’s being posted. RIP, Linzz.

  61. i love gabe, and i think this website is great, but honestly there needs to be another voice on videogum.

  62. - Bill Murray Is Fucking Angelica Houston But WANTS To Fuck A Pregnant Lady On A Boat

    - David Bowie Is Packing In Spandex

  63. Michael Bay and Ben Affleck do more damage to Pearl Harbor than the Japanese managed in 1941.

  64. Almost Cameron Crowe Bio-pic

  65. Yes! It happened to me! I thought maybe some of you guys were making that “logged-in as someone else” crap up. Worlds Done Had Been Collidin’! If it helps anyone solve the ways of the Lawnmower Man, jneslo was the last person to comment before I clicked on the Comments section. Sorry to hijack you, jneslo. If it had to be someone, I’m glad it was you. I’m glad it was you. (I have no idea what that even means.)

  66. Sidney Poitier is Coming to Dinner.

  67. Everything is Jewish

  68. this must be the best new party game cause gabe missed work on friday because of the aftermath.

  69. Okay, once again, I have nothing to add in the movie titles department and I am prepared for the down-votes that may result from my 3rd unrelated comment in this thread, but ya know, while Gabe’s away and all… I am also prepared for some people to think this is creepy to ask, but I hope it’s not taken that way. Since this post keeps getting revisited like crazy and we’re probably nearing exhaustion of the movies we’ve all seen, I figured this is as good a place as any to bring it up.
    I don’t know how many of y’all use twitter, but I know a few do (including myself) and I thought maybe we could take this party up a notch* and maybe have a monster roll-call for those that use it. I figure, if you’re already on twitter than you’re open to the idea of total strangers freely invading your privacy…. but we’re all family here right? So, anyway, I’d love to follow some fellow monsters, if you guys are down. Just reply with: your http://www.twitter.com/______ url or “stop being a creep, wondergrrl!, and go make real friends who don’t live on teh internets!”

    *(this will not take the party up a notch, but it will distract you long enough for godsauce and Kenny Powers spike the punch and throw a video pizza in the dvd player!)

  70. The Curious Case of Someone Who Reminds Me an Awful Lot of Forrest Gump

  71. Monty Python’s Life Of Jesus.

    http://twitter.com/lakonislate but it’s half in Dutch and never updated. I just want to align myself with the right side for when the final web 2.0 battle starts.

  73. Fuck all this twitter username nonsense. We’ve got bigger fish to fry. Like finding out where Gabe hid Lindsay’s body…

    • He probably cooked her into a True Blood souffle and served it up to his mind-slaves! That’s right, Gabe is a MAENAD!! (who is also an excellent cook)

      • I don’t recognize this user, but THIS IS WONDERGRRL! !!! I wish I knew this IndieClox better so we could have fun with these little name switches! I just hope I get da cake eatur next!

  74. Aliens are treated like Black people in South Africa.
