Ellen Page Is The David Simon Of Painfully Cool Hipsters Ellen Page, Alia Shawkat, and Har Mar Superstar are writing a show for HBO about "painfully cool hipsters" who move from Williamsburg to Silverlake, tentatively titled Stich N' Bitch. Sure. We're gonna need a skinnier jeans!
Clearly, this is your sitcom. "It just speaks to me." That's what you tell your lady friends over lunch at an outdoor cafe with a bottle of the second cheapest white wine on the menu. Oh, btw, you are a woman, and that is why this show speaks to you, because it is just telling it like it is. FWBW, says your sweatshirt. In any case, the "Vodka and Fudge" mousepad is going to take 4-6 weeks to ship to your house, but it will be well worth it, because then all the other girls in the secretarial pool will know that you have something that you actually care about. That your life has depth and meaning.
Friday Night Lights is already one of the best shows on television, but apparently in season 4 it will be one of the MOST TERRIFYING show on television as well, when most of Dillon, Texas, plunges into a paranormal chasm in the ground. Clear eyes, full hearts, can't fall into the giant paranormal chasm in the ground. Obviously, I recognize that this is a metaphor for how Coach Taylor's move to the East Dillon Wildcats (or whatever) is going to create an irreparable divide through the town and its many carefully drawn human relationships. But maybe, just maybe, this metaphor will be created visually, with an actual giant rift cut down the middle of the town. Probably not. Maybe. Almost certainly not. But maybe!
Obviously, Louis kills it on the stand-up, (look up "duh" in the dictionary and there's a picture of that sentence), but his story about telling a terrible joke on the set of Ricky Gervais's The Invention of Lying is obviously the real winner here. I could seriously listen to Louis C.K. tell funny, off-the-cuff* anecdotes all day. The best. I could listen to him tell funny, off-the-cuff anecdotes about the phone book.
As you may have heard, Ellen Degeneres, America's sweetheart, made a pretty big announcement on her show yesterday:
Whoops. That isn't it. Don't get me wrong, Ellen Degeneres playing mother nature in some stupid movie is really exciting (not really exciting). But that is definitely not what her big announcement yesterday was. Hold on. Oh, here it is:
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....
