Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I really feel like this guy needs to clarify who he is talking about:
Is the stupid cunt who needs to put a cock in her mouth Kristen Wiig, or the poet Suzanne Somers? PLEASE (DON'T) CLARIFY!
P.S. Two YouTube comment-based posts in one day! Is it because it's Friday and I am being kind of lazy, or is it because YouTube is the best and represents the most thoughtful and incisive dialog in America today? There's probably no way to know for sure.
We Were Once a Fairytale, the strange short film that Kanye West made with Spike Jonze, is finally here! For the most part, it depicts a typical night in the life of Kanye West: a boorish, blurry, endless evening in an anonymous night club. "This is my song! I made all the notes!" It's basically his The Wrestler. His entire life has led up to this one perfect role.
Supposedly, the shoot began as a music video shoot, but then I guess they got too much great footage of Kanye seeming really drunk and belligerent so they decided to turn it into a short film. Cue puppet magic! (That would also explain why the audio is kind of terrible on this thing.) Anyway, it's after the jump and it is mildly NSFW:
Hey, I know as well as anyone how hectic life can get! You keep your pumps in your bottom desk drawer so that you can wear your nice shoes at work, but you're not really going to get around town in those nice shoes, for one because you would ruin them but for two because WHO HAS THE TIME? No, you need pumps for getting around everywhere. My point is, I recognize that you might not think that you have 17 minutes to watch a video, and that 17 minutes is too long for anyone to demand of Internet Time, but I am just saying find time for this. Make it happen. You can paint, exercise, and watch this video. You can do it all.
Hah. Well, certainly much less barfy than this week's previous Eric Wareheim video for Depeche Mode's "Hole To Feed." But does anyone else get the impression that maybe Eric Wareheim is obsessed with and/or has a weird relationship to human sexuality? I'M JUST KIDDING YOU GUYS. LOL. Obviously all of this is completely normal if we're playing by Hollywood Rules.
Making fun of rich people for being horrible, self-indulgent, drug-fueled, out-of-touch, misogynistic, racist monsters is basically shooting rich people in a barrel, but I don't think that would be as fun to watch. Too scary! (Thanks for the tip, Jon.)
Admittedly, in the past, Videogum readers have not taken that kindly to John Roberts's new character, stand up comedian Paulie P. Whoops, you guys! That is what you don't take kindly to? Sometimes you guys are weird and I don't get it, but I suppose that is life.

Roberts has a new Paulie P. video up and it is great if you like subtle comedy that examines the ways that humanity can be funny through the dedicated portrayal of realistic characters (I do! I like that!).
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...
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...
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....
