For a minute, I thought you meant the original books. Then I understood what you meant. Those bastards.

It’s BOB.

 +10Posted on May 22nd | re: Now Hiring: Videogum Summer Interns (43 comments)

Well, I liked Now Here is Nowhere.

 +9Posted on May 22nd | re: Now Hiring: Videogum Summer Interns (43 comments)

No. Just robot folk singers. I’m sorry.

Maybe it was a test? Maybe all of today has been one giant, ARE YOU VIDEOGUM ENOUGH Challenge?!

Or, you know, a typo.

Question: can my application be via interpretive dance?

What happened at the end of this thread?

That kind of enthusiasm is not allowed.

Just kidding! Have a wonderful dinner tonight, wermhat!

That Dakota thing just made me miss Friday Fights. :(

Touche. Oh well. Sorry kids, you’re… wait. I can’t figure out a good way to end that sentence.

One of those first graders is going to get on the google, search Sasha Grey, and see some crazy shit.

Wait, you think her parents will keep that from happening? Ha!

I also just found out that Tarsem has his OWN adaptation of Snow White coming out.

Hm. Curiouser and curiouser.

I mean, I actually really appreciate The Cell spacially and visually (<–things borderline pretentious people say), but then the plot of that movie kicks in and I remember it's terrible. In my head, it's one of the bets movies ever made.

I've been meaning to see The Fall, though. I've heard both great and terrible things about it.

 +11Posted on Nov 11th, 2011 | re: This Week In Movie Trailers, You Guys (35 comments)

I dunno. I didn’t have any sound, but that Snow White trailer felt like a lot of “DARK AND GRITTY REIMAGINING OF SHIT YOU’VE ALREADY SEEN!!!” and the “from the producers of Alice in Wonderland” certainly didn’t help.*

The visuals also kept reminding me of The Cell which kind of keeps me away from movies too.

*I’ve never understood why movies brag about being from similar producers. It seems silly because it’s basically saying “From the people who gave this other movie a lot of money and probably had very little to do with it creatively except for maybe making it a little more pandering comes another movie they’ve given lots of money to and probably made a little more pandering as well!”

Plus, WW2!

You should never have to apologize for loving Joshua Tree.

 +5Posted on Sep 30th, 2011 | re: This Week In Movie Trailers, You Guys (35 comments)

I think we need clarification. I have no problem with someone loving War to Joshua Tree era U2. Or Achtung Baby if that’s your thing. Whatever the hell they are now, though, is inexcusable.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close also had the working title “Winning the Oscars. All of them. Forever and Ever.”

“Samuel L. Jackson reads: The Little Prince

“IF YOU PLEASE, MOTHERFUCKER, DRAW ME A FUCKING SHEEP.” ”

Will sale like hotcakes.

SIDEBAR: Has anyone here read Against the Day? Cause it’s awesome.

I was under the impression Hulu counted a little, but it’s just not as lucrative for advertisers. And yeah, I know the thing about Nielsen boxes but people can still spread the word.

 +3Posted on Sep 30th, 2011 | re: Thursday Night TV Open Thread (91 comments)

I didn’t see the episode yet but that sounds awesome. The first two eps of the season have brought the biggest laughs from me with Thursday night tv so far (Charlie in the Limo, and the Jersey Shore Montage are just some incredibly funny scenes).

Actually, contrary to your positive affirmation at the end there, I have no idea what you’re talking about. I think those are words? I’m not sure what they’re saying though. Let’s break it down to the deep structure and see what we find.

I don’t mean to get all Seriousgum on everyone, but are you doing your best to make sure people watch Community and Parks & Rec? At least on Hulu or DVR’s (I know torrents are super convenient, but they won’t help a show stay alive)? Community and Parks & Rec were NBC’s 2nd and 3rd least watched programs last week, and if that’s where they are at the season premiere, it means we’re in for a very bumpy, probably prematurely cancelled road.

It’s way too late for me to log in here and tell you this is the greatest but oh well.
