The Two Best Minutes Of Bruno • In retrospect, I don't think I liked Bruno overall. It was only medium funny, and it had a lot of really confusing mixed messages. But I definitely liked this scene in which he finally takes down Big Stage Parents. Haha! (P.S. the Bruno DVD was released today, I guess.)

Twilight: A Primer For Adults

In preparation for this weekend's release of The Twilight: New Moon (OMG u guyz, is it possible 2 die from 3 much excitement?!), I decided to actually watch The Twilight yesterday, you know, see what the kids were into these days. Wow, kids these days, you are into something really terrible! Like, I figured Twilight was bad, but I did not know it was going to be THAT bad. I assumed that while I wouldn't like it, I would at least understand why kids liked it, but I don't! It's a disaster!

For one thing: it doesn't make any sense? I'm sure that if you've already read all of the books 12 times by flashlight underneath the covers because your mom said no more staying up so late since you look so tired that she's worried the teachers at your school are going to call social services on her, then maybe this movie makes sense because you already know everything that is going to happen anyway. But for people who haven't read the books it's a jumbled mess of inexplicable motivations and events. Like, for example, with almost no explanation, a game of Vampire Lightning Baseball is interrupted by the sudden CLIMAX OF THE MOVIE out of nowhere, in which a character that has literally been on the screen for 30 seconds so far is now at the crux of the movie's major dramatic arc? I will tell you what is spooky: this movie's inability to follow any rational structure of plot or character development!

Also, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are so terrible at acting! "I'm going to bite my lip repeatedly while you struggle to maintain your already terrible approximation of an American accent." This vampire movie's motto is "I want to suck...the end." Right, you guys?!

Anyway, I have provided a little cheat sheet for adults who might want to see Twilight New Moon this weekend for some reason, but who don't want to actually sit through the unbearable two hours that is Twilight Old Moon.

Clearly, We Need To Name-Bomb The Paranormal Activity DVD

Yesterday, I got an email (that's right, I get emails, no big deal!).

As PARANORMAL ACTIVITY makes its way to the $100 million mark at the box office, we are thanking the fans who turned the movie into a nationwide phenomenon by featuring their names in the credits for the film's DVD release!

Uh, you're welcome?! So I followed the link to a website* where you provide your name, birthdate, and email address by the deadline of next Monday (11/9) at 12 PM PST, and your name will (supposedly) be included in the credits on the DVD release. Great! I haven't even seen this movie yet, and I don't know if I ever will, but I am very into being in the credits of this movie. Besides, I've done my part. I'll send a copy of the DVD to my mom and just be like "Bam! No more talking shit about me in the Family Newsletter. I'm basically the President of Movie Credits now, it's very impressive. Now the girls want to take ME to the movies."

But then I realized something else: this is the perfect "mission" with which to launch our new prank troupe, Videogum Everywhere.

Richard Heene's Psyience Detective Theme Song • Vic Mizzy is not even in the ground yet, so he will have to save up those grave rolls, but Richard Heene commissioned theme songs for his reality TV show ideas!!! They are hilarious and awful. He even plays bass on them? What an American Treasure that guy has turned out to be (not be).

How Long Until The Latoya Jackson Scene From Bruno Leaks?

It was reported last week that a scene from Bruno in which Sacha Baron Cohen interviewed an unsuspecting (isn't she always?) Latoya Jackson, was being temporarily cut just hours before the Los Angeles premiere. Oh, sorry, quick bit of background information: Michael Jackson died. R.I.P. Michael Jackson! OK, so, now it looks like the scene will officially be cut from the movie. From RiskyBusinessBlog:

The sudden death of Michael Jackson on Thursday prompted a series of discussions at Universal Pictures that resulted in the studio cutting a Jackson-related sketch from "Bruno" only hours before its Los Angeles premiere.

Uni removed a scene in which Bruno, the flamboyant Austrian journalist played by Sacha Baron Cohen, interviews an unsuspecting LaToya Jackson about a number of topics, including her brother.

Among the gags is a joke about the King of Pop's high-pitched voice, as well as an attempt to discover his contact info (Baron Cohen grabs LaToya's phone), as well as a reference to his trademark white glove, etc, all done in Baron Cohen's characteristically absurdist tone.

The scene played at press screenings earlier in the week, where it did not stand out as unusually outrageous in the context of the pic's other antics.

Maybe it didn't stand out as unusually outrageous in the context of the pic's other antics earlier in the week, but what about now, after Jackson's death on Thursday?

The Kenny Powers Audio Book, You're Fucking Out, I'm Fucking In

One of the running jokes in Eastbound and Down, the best fucking show that was on television, was Kenny Powers audiobook, You're Fucking Out, I'm Fucking In. It was the fount of Kenny's wisdom, and a fountain of laffs. Now, someone has done us all the service of supercutting those moments together into a solid LOLk investment. Smart. Whoever made this has the mind of a scientist.

The Kenny Powers Training Video, Motherfuckers

On last week's episode of Eastbound and Down (the best fucking show on television), Kenny's assistant (and the Junior High music teacher), Stevie, interrupted Principal Cutler's barbecue to show everyone a training video he and Kenny had made to help get Kenny back into the majors. This is that video. Hold on to your shit.

The best. Did you know Kenny Powers is on Twitter? No? Then you're an asshole. (I'm just kidding, guys. I'm trying to pretend that I'm a bullet-proof tiger like Kenny Powers so I use curse words to impress you. BFFz.) God, I wish this show was my dad.

Keep our troops in Iraq. 9/11. (Thanks for the tip, Rand.)
