And Now, Let Us Dubstep

Now that we have finally put the bubblegum-lipgloss-scented mess of the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards behind us, we can move forward with our lives. And by move forward with our lives, of course, I mean that we can dubstep forward with our lives.

What's today, Monday? WE JUST GETTIN' STARTED! (Thanks for the tip, Chris.)

2010: The Year Of Louis C.K.

I think it might finally happen, you guys. Everything is turning up Louis C.K.! Yesterday, of course, was the news that he has been cast for a multiple-episode story arc on Parks and Recreation, which yes, is an imperfect show, like why does Rashida Jones, a civilian, hang out at city hall so much? But it is not a "bad" show, and this is great news, so come on, how about a yay!? And today there is news that Louis C.K. has quietly taped a pilot for FX, tentatively titled Louie (I read something about that somewhere). From Variety:

It's a grassroots project for Louis, who not only wrote "Louie," but also cast it, directed it and even edited it, with the help of $250,000 in seed money from FX. Louis shot the low-budget project in New York.

"I said, wire me a quarter of a million dollars and I'll give you a DVD in a month, and amazingly, they did," Louis said. "Because it was only $250,000 they had the reasonable expectation that I wasn't going to disappear with the money. To them, it's a low-risk thing, and for me, I was able to try different stuff."

Louis' life situation as a recently divorced man still co-parenting with his ex-wife largely informs both his current standup routine and this new show. His experience as a fortysomething man back on the dating scene also plays a large role.

"It's a unified stream of conciousness," he said of the show. "It all comes from me being a 41-year-old divorced comic trying to raise children, meet people and have sex."

Great news! FX will supposedly decide whether or not to pick up the show for a full season within the next 10 days.

But also!

You're Right, This Is My Wedding

The following video features a wedding procession in which the bridesmaids and groomsmen do an enthusiastic, choreographed dance down the aisle to Chris Brown's "Forever" as the wedding guests on both sides of the aisle clap in unison. Then the groom somersaults into the fray. Eventually the bride makes her own private dance down the aisle. And then, one assumes, they get married. I've received this video in the Videogum mailbox numerous times, and almost every email bears the subject line "This Is Your Wedding." Well, you GOONS, you're right: this is my wedding! Basically! I should be so lucky!

Look, I'm not saying I would want to get married exactly like this. It's definitely silly. And if there's any musician in the world who doesn't know what a time-tested love is, it's Chris Brown. (Yikes. Also, nice Cher song, Chris Brown.) And OK, Ashton Kutcher Twittered it, which is some kind of omen. But we can't seriously be mad at these guys for beginning their life together with an exuberant, light-hearted, lovable dance down the aisle?! Can we?! No, we cannot. This video literally shows a bunch of people who care about each other a great deal, trying to have a fun and memorable experience in honor of two people who are going to try their best to love each other for the rest of their lives. Will it work out? Who knows, it often does not! But everyone is being a great sport about it nonetheless. We can at least show them the respect of also being good sports. I mean, there's a reason that it has gotten nearly 1.3 million views since it was posted five days ago. Because it is a nice thing!

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.)

When God Closes A Money Door, He Opens A Pot Window

So everyone is twittering (the 2007 definition) about how the one good thing about the economic crisis is that California is seriously considering making pot legal (like legal-legal, wink wink) so they can tax it. Fox News hosted a debate today between a surprisingly articulate pro-legalization-advocate and the Sparkle Motion mom from Donnie Darko:

Of course, everything the legalization guy said was right and everything the lady said was wrong, and she got twice the air time, the last word, and even time to fill with mutterings, but it is Fox News after all. Think of all the great TV shows we'd have if pot was legal-legal in California! The first half of Pineapple Express: The Movie: The TV Show, replacing Grey's Anatomy. Dude.
