Joel McHale and Keith Olberman Equals Awesome.

Sometime Joel McHale goes on Countdown with Keith Olbermann, for some entertainment commentary. And this just made me giggle.

This Totally Made My Morning

I was on the entertainment weekly website, and they had their top ten lists of the year up, and one photo gallery that caught my eye was the cast of HIMYM recreating the best moments of the year. Only one word can describe it, Legen wait for it dary. Legendary.

There are more on the website, but these two were my favs.

Drew Carey is No Bob Barker

He didn't even seem excited that the guy got the prize right on the money. I'm pretty sure that's never happened before, besides on HIMYM.

I Can't Wait For This Movie!

MovieWeb - Movie Photos, Videos & More

Jason Segel and Paul Rudd equals love, then add in Ambdy Sander, and it could just be legendary. Even if Rashida Jones is in this movie, it still looks like it could be freaking awesome! Can't wait to see it!

Flight of the Conchords!

The first episode of season 2 is now up on funnyordie, so effing awesome!

All Hail!

It's been raining off and on all day. And tonight it got just cold enough to hail, if only for like short bursts of like five minutes or so. But still, I thought it was pretty awesome. So I took, or at least attempted to take, a couple of pictures.

Here are my efforts:






It's really hard, at night, to take a picture of something that is only really seen in the light.

This Guy Is Kinda Crazy...

....and kinda my hero. He threw a shoe at Bush, and not just one shoe, but two shoes, Guy has got balls.

Watch (really only need to watch like the first 20 or so seconds):



And what great reflexes Bush has? Who knew?

She Knows How To Play And She's Mentally Retarded.

Me and Allegra saw Stella on Friday. In case you don't know what Stella is, it's the comedy trio of Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain.

Comic. Geniuses.

The show was so awesome, and we almost were late cuz we were shoe shopping, and weren't sure where the theater was. See even though they said the gig was in San Francisco, it was really in Berkeley. So we had to take BART there, and it takes like 20-30 minutes to get there. So yeah. Even though they said the show started at 8 and we got there at 8:30, like literally as we were walking in to the theater, they were walking on stage. Talk about cutting it close.

So the show was awesome, and I found videos from the show that we saw. So watch and enjoy!

This Is Why I Don't Talk To People In San Francisco.

Yesterday, Allegra and I were downtown, we saw Zach and Miri Make a Porno [pretty freaking awesome, except it was lacking some of the usual Kevin Smith dialogue, probably because he put in more ad libs from the stars, didn't really feel like a Kevin Smith flick in a weird way] and were waiting around until we had to catch a BART train to Berkeley, when we decided to go into Ross to shop. We were in the underwear section, looking around at bras and such, when some random old lady came up to us, picked up some really ugly, old lady bra, and said, "I have this one, it's very sexy." Then after seeing our disgusted, not-interested looks said, "well now you think I'm crazy." Then she walked over to her friend or whoever she was with and said, "This is why I don't talk to people in San Francisco."

My Heart Goes Out To Craig Ferguson

A Random Realization.

I just realized that all of the hair on my head is natural hair color.  

Let that sink in for a second.

Ok.  

So yeah, I got a hair cut before I left for SF, and I'm pretty sure that with that hair cut, if there was any dyed hair, it got cut off.  I'm also pretty sure this is the first time this has happened since like 8th grade, when I started dying my hair.  

Ah, my hair.  So many colors it has been over the years.  Natural red.  Black.  Orange.  Purple stripes with brown hair.  Pink stripes.  Multi-colored stripes.  Red.  Purple.  Pink.  Blue.  Lime green.  Blonde [for like a day].  And now it's just brown.  

I remember I went to see swim meet the first year of college, and my old coach, Mr. Neumann said to me, "Ellen, what happened to your hair?  You're not supposed to go to college and get conservative."

Air Travel.

I think this Thanksgiving, I experienced the worst two days of travel...ever.

On the way out to Pa, it seemed easy enough: fly into Washington DC, with an hour to spare, then hop on another plane to Allentown. Easy right? Wrong! The first step was easy enough to obtain, the second step, not so much. So, my flight going out to DC was at like 1 in the afternoon, so I didn't have to get up at too unreasonable an hour. I got up in plenty of time, grabbed a shower, and left. Got the 28 bus, took it to the Daly City BART station, then grabbed a train to the airport. Ended up getting to the airport a good 2 hours early. Grabbed some food, and waited around. My flight, oddly enough, left on time, which is so unusual for the SF airport. Almost every flight I have gotten out of there has not left on time.

Anyway, I get to DC, and figure out where my plan is leaving from, and go. And what do I find, but that my flight have been delayed, I think, by like four minutes, so I don't worry. I grab some food at a burger place called 5 Guys, I got a grilled cheese and some fries, really good. Then I go back to the gate and eat and wait for my plane to take board. At this point, even with the plane leaving on time, I wouldn't get into Allentown until 11:30-midnight. Then, I find out that the plane we are supposed to take, left at 5 that day, then had engine troubles wherever is landed, and so now we don't have a plane to take us. So people weren't sure if they were going to cancel the flight or if they were going to be able to get it in. This was this like couple sitting across from me who kept debating this question, the husband was like convinced that they were going to cancel the flight, so they should rent a car and drive home, the wife was just like 'whatever, I don't care'. But they debated this for a while, and I totally thought they had decided to rent a car and drive home, because they got up with all their stuff and left only to return like an hour later. So I was bummed, and really worried, cuz I didn't want to stay in DC for the night. So I waited, watched some HIMYM, Slap Bet and Stuff [gotta love NPH as a singing robot].

The plan was that the plane going to to somewhere in NY was going to go, and then fly back and come get us and take us to Allentown. Sounds good, until you realise that the pilot and crew can only fly a certain amount of time, and they were worried that they would be over by the time they got back, thus stranding us in DC. So again we were left waiting. Luckily the flight did not get canceled and we ended up leaving by like 1:30 in the AM. We had this like awesome flight attendant named Gary, I think. He totally had a, 'Man I better be getting paid extra for this shit' attitude. Loved it. Plus the guy gave me a whole can of ginger ale, so I was happy. We ended up getting into Allentown at like 3:30 in the morning. When I got home, Luke came down to greet me, and was crying and super excited. Even Max came out to say hello. It was nice.

So now the flight back. Originally I was supposed to take the same flight back. Fly from Allentown to DC then DC to San Fran. Unfortunately, the airplane company changed my flight to this: Allentown to Chicago, Chicago to Sacramento, Sacramento to San Francisco, basically a 12 hour day. Oh yeah, and my first flight left at 7:10 in the am. Oh and the kicker is, I was really sick, still am, with some illness. So yeah, it made a bad day worse.

Nothing really exciting happened, all my flight left on time. The only sad thing that happened was while I was walking to get a cab home, one of my favorite flower earring that my sister gave me for my birthday, fell out in the airport somewhere. I didn't notice it was missing until I was already halfway home. So sad. I freaking love those earrings.

I Can't Stop Listening to...

"My Freeze Ray" and "Let's Go To The Mall". Both songs totally awesome, and incredibly catchy. I mean NPH totally awesome in Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog, and if you haven't seen it, what is wrong with you? It's totally awesome. And Robin Sparkles? Ummm, one of the best episodes of HIMYM ever! The song is so addictive, I must have listened to it like 10 times in a row last night after I downloaded it. Best line for me is, "but don't forget the robot" ! Too awesome.

Anyway, here they are in all their glory. Enjoy!

My Freeze Ray:



Let's Go To The Mall:

Random

So I was watching Craig Ferguson tonight, as I do whenever I am up that late, and I had a weird realization:

Craig Ferguson totally looks like the muppet, Sam the Eagle, from like certain angles.

Also, when John Krasinski was on Ferguson, there was a moment when he totally looked like Beeker.

Hotness!

John Krasinski in the People's Sexiest Men issue:

Homemade Lasagna is Amazing!

Tonight for dinner, Allegra and I made homemade lasagna, and it was amazing. Like we made the pasta from scratch and everything. It might have taken like two hours, but it was totally worth it.

Sifting flower.

Hehe, kind of looks like an egg.

Being careful, so the well doesn't break.

But it was all for not, since it ended up breaking.

Extremely messy.

Ta da!

Rolling out the dough.

Total fail.

All complete, with approval.

Cutting into strips.

Mozzarella and sauce layer.

Pasta waiting to go in.

Ricotta layer.

Finished...

...and cooked.

Pushing Daisies RIP: 2007-2008

Bad news, Pushing Daisies, one of the best shows, just got canceled. I seriously love this show, and I don't understand how ABC can cancel one of the most critically acclaimed shows while, at the same time, picking up other shows that have already been canceled [Scrubs and King of the Hill]? Have they no sense?

I am seriously depressed about this news. This is almost as sad as when I got into Arrested Development, only to find out it had gotten canceled. I guess I will always have the awesomeness that are seasons 1 and 2.

Sigh.

Random Things Heard From My Window.

Random drum circle slash jazz session going on somewhere nearby, probably near the smoking area, those smokers like to rock out to the mellow sounds of jazz and drums.

John Krasinskaaaaaay!

So I was totally bummed out when I found out that Hugh Jackman was named this year's Sexiest Man Alive.


Ummmmmm, eww. He's old.

I guess just not my cup ole tea. The again, very rarely do I actually agree with these lists. I mean you always have the guys that just get in because they've gotten in every other year: George Clooney [so not hot!], Brad Pitt [used to be hot, now he just looks old and haggard, I guess 6 kids will do that] and Johnny Depp [who I agree with, totally hot].

And then the newish people they put on the list this year, I totally did not get. That guy from Twilight [don't get the appeal], Zach Efron [a little too girl-y for my taste]. So basically there was pretty much no reason for me to get this issue.


Then I saw this:




In other words, I MUST GET THIS MAGAZINE ASAP!!!





Hotness the last time round.

WTF?

So TRL just ended it's however many years it's been on the air. A part of me is sad, I mean I remember running home, up my driveway, just to make sure I got back in time to watch the single greatest show of my 11- year- old life. Granted I stopped watching it years ago, even before Carson Daly left to do other things. But it's almost like a part of my youth has just died. So it's sad. But what I was really thinking when I was going through all the memories is, 'What the fuck happened to Carson?'

For example:

Before [with NSYNC]:


And now, at the finale:


Dude went from being a total normal looking dude into a fucking manarexic. And he looks totally creepy now, like his eyes are like bulging out of his head.

What the fuck Carson Daly? What the fuck?

Interesting...

My dearest mother sent me this email the other day, and it kind of made me chuckle, and nod in approval:

Dear Red States:

If you manage to steal this election too, we've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware, that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and the entire Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation and especially to the people of the new country of New California

To sum up briefly:

• You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood

• We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom.

• We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss.

• We get 85% of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama.

• We get two-thirds of the tax revenue. You get to make the red states pay their fair share.

• Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22% lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms.

Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their children's caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq, and hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire.

With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80% of the country's fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nation's fresh fruit, 95% of America's quality wines, 90% of all cheese, 90% of the high tech industry, 95% of the corn and soybeans (thanks Iowa!), most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.

With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92% of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.

We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.

Additionally, 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the war, the death penalty or gun laws, 44% say that evolution is only a theory, 53% that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61% of you believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties.

Peace!

Blue States

I love how it would be called 'New California,' I mean it could be a country all on its own anyway...

Happy Birthday Akita!!!!

I Love Rain

I love when it rains. I love the sound it makes when it falls, and that fresh smell it makes after it's done. I love how it cools everything down, and how it washes away the dirt.

I love rain a lot.

Except when I wake up in the morning and find my blanket covered in water from the rain that had fallen last night and into the morning. It was still raining when I woke up. I left my window open, not really thinking it would rain on me. I mean I had the blinds up, I thought that would protect me.

But it didn't.

A Sleepless Night

I had trouble getting to sleep one night. Maybe it was the tens of mosquito bites that nagged me or the stomach ache I had. Either way, I was awake.

I laid in my bed staring up at the cloudless sky through my window. I could see the stars out that night, through the blinds. So bright they were. My eyes went to Orion's Belt, when I first saw it It was near the left of my window.

I got up to get a popsicle, to settle my stomach, and Allegra was up, apparently she too had been bitten by the hungry bug. She then saw it and tried to hunt it down, but it was too fast, and quickly escaped her.

I grabbed a popsicle and went back in my room. It was two in the morning, and nothing was on TV. I flipped around and happened on some Opera. When I first flipped it on, there was someone as Queen Elizabeth opera-shouting at some other royal. It was subtitled, even though they were singing in english. Then they turned to talking. It was some weird hybrid of talking and opera. Very strange.

I finished my popsicle, turned off the TV, and stared back at the stars. Now Orion's Belt was near the right side of my window. How much the Earth had turned since I last looked out.

I rolled over and fell asleep.

When I awoke I had ten mosquito bites.

That little fucker.

Is It Weird If...

...when I first saw this picture of Amy Winehouse...



...I thought it was Amdy Samber?

Them.

So, obviously, this is way overdue, but I saw She & Him on Sunday! Yay. And all I can say is awesome. They are such an amazing live band. Like the record was awesome, but like there is such an energy to their live show, and Zooey Deschanel's voice is even better live, like way more powerful than the record would lead you to believe.

What is it with opening bands and sucking so much ass? This time it was a group by the name of Lavendar Diamond. Like the music seemed fine, like I kind of liked it, but the voice and like lyrics sucked so much ass. And she kept fucking rambling on about stuff no one cares about. Like about how how she used beets instead of blush, and like about why she wasn't sure she wanted to play at the club, called Bimbo 365 Club, because 'bimbo, you know? but then someone said, "no it's a really classy place" and I said, ok." It is a really classy place, btw, except for the fact that they were so strict with the cameras. I snuck mine in by sandwiching it between my boobs, but then when I got in, I was too scared to take a picture. They like made an announcement before the show started saying that if they caught anyone recording or taking pictures, they would throw that person out and take their memory card, so I didn't want to chance it.

So then the real show started, and She & Him came out. Ummm, they are so awesome. I love Zooey Deschanel's voice. And M. Ward is an awesome guitarist. The one thing that sucked, is that, of course we got stuck next really fucking annoying people. Every time they would play a song, the one like superfan would turn to her friend, and say, "I LOVE THIS SONG!". I mean I like most of the songs, all 12 of them, BUT it is not necessary to say that before EVERY FUCKING SONG! But yeah, they were really awesome, they played all of their songs, then two new songs and three covers, one of which was 'I Put a Spell on You', really awesome. She also dedicated 'Sweet Darlin'' to Barack Obama, really cute. Also really cute was when Zooey joined M. Ward on the piano at the end of 'Sweet Darlin''. Oh, and the girls were going crazy for M. Ward, especially when they sang 'You Really Gotta a Hold on Me'.

Oh, then Allegra pointed out to me that M. Ward could totally be a Jonas Brother, which he totally could. Ok, so not being a huge fan of the JBs [sorry Akita], I'm not entirely sure. But I'm pretty sure he could be. Like, a slightly older brother.



Anyway, I the show was awesome! I suggest that you see them if they come to a town near you.


Ok, so not the concert I went to, but their cover of 'I put a spell on you' was really good.

I Cannot Stop Watching...

...this live feed of puppies. They are so adorable. Most of the day they spend napping, but it is too cute. Like sometimes they will have doggy dreams, where they are like running, and you can see their little legs twitching. And then one like wakes up and then goes and lays on another one, waking up everyone else in the process. My favorite one is the green collar, that one has got a quirky character.





In other words, I really miss my puppies.



Yes. Even Luke. winky smilie face.

Dogs Are Our Reflections.

Barney, the first dog, must know that his owner is being ousted as the leader of the free world, and he is acting up.




Clearly this dog is not balanced.

Boo!

Prop R did not pass.  sad face.

No renaming a sewage plant after Bush.

Oh and prostitution is not legal in SF either.

Oh well.

Look What We Did!

No matter your political affiliations, you cannot deny what an historic day this is for America. It honestly make me so proud to be an American, for like the first time in almost eight years. I almost came to tears listening to his amazing acceptance speech, no lie. What an amazing week, first the Phillies win the world series, and now Barack Obama is going to be our next president. So AMAZING. There are very few words that can describe this feeling.

If you missed his speech, here it is:

part 1:


Part 2:



Thoughts on the day that was:

I waited in line for 2 and a half hours to exercise my civic duty. Totally worth it!

I was not prepared for the chilly weather, flip flops made my feet really cold.

The people in front of us were really fucking annoying.  Like the one girl was so needy and annoying, oh and her friends kept cutting in line.  So fucking annoying.

I did not get my free scoop of ice cream because by the time I had voted, they had, most likely, ran out of ice cream and left. So sad.

I voted to legalize prostitution is San Francisco and to rename a sewer plant after George W. Bush.

I also voted no on props 4 and 8 (abortion rights and gay marriage bans, respectively).

I voted for the bullet train in California. Get to LA in like 2 or 3 hours would be awesome. Day Trips!

When MSNBC projected Obama as the President-Elect like not even a minute after polls closed on the West Coast.

Was I the only one digging the electoral map on the ice rink in Rockefeller Plaza? I wish I could have been there to watch them fill it in.

What the fuck was Michelle Obama wearing?  It totally looked like she was 8 months pregnant and about to pop out a baby.

That's about it, what an amazing day for America.


I found this really amusing, Craig Ferguson's take on some of the California Props. Classic:

Proponent's Argument In Favor of Proposition R

Just as France presented the Statue of Liberty as its gift to the nation, the citizens of San Francisco may now bestow their own special gift to the country by renaming our award winning waste water treatment plant in honor of outgoing President George W Bush. We think this is a fitting memorial for a truly outstanding Commander-in-Chief. On matters ranging from diplomacy to fiscal and environmental stewardship, no other President has had such a dramatic impact on the country and the Constitution in such a short time. Most presidents wait years or decades to receive their memorial airport or highway. We think President Bush deserves immediate recognition for his eight years of public service.

Critics of this measure point out that the initiative unfairly maligns the talented and hard working staff at the award-winning plant or that it memorializes an administration best forgotten. To this we simply say that those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. President Bush has left us with a gigantic mess, and that this facility symbolizes the city's deft ability to clean up its share of the financial and diplomatic mess left in this administration's wake. It will also become the world's first presidential sewage plant, a potential tourist attraction, and therefore an opportunity for the dedicated plant workers to educate visitors about this essential and heretofore unknown public works. This measure will have a minimal fiscal impact and may increase tourist traffic to the plant, Zoo, and nearby attractions in southwest San Francisco, creating yet another quirky must-see destination along with our cable cars, Haight St, and Beach Blanket Babylon.

Fellow San Franciscans, we urge you to vote Oui! On November 4th.

I was seriously hyperventilating during those last three outs. And how cute was Ruiz running to Lidge when they got that last out? Ryan Howard tackling them to the ground? Awesome! Doggy pile? Even more awesome! I have to say, the most nerve wracking three innings of my life!  The win was so epic that Akita actually called me on the phone.....I know.

Kaki King and Mountain Goats

Allegra wanted to go to the Mountain Goats concert at the Fillmore, and since she agreed to go with me to the She & Him concert next week and because why not, I went along with her. It was a good time. The opening band, whose name I honestly can't remember, was really shitty. They had a sitar player, and were trying to jam out, but no one was really feeling it, except the guy next to Allegra, and the guy next to me. Somehow we were bookended by the two guys who maybe enjoyed it. After the band was done with their set, a guy behind us was like, 'that really sucked.'

Then like a half an hour later Kaki King came one and performed. I had not hear of her before this, but she was like AMAZING. Her guitar skills were really like, I don't even know how to describe it. So I found a video of her unique talents.



this one is from the concert we saw:




Seriously so amazing. And the one guitarist was like really getting into playing his guitar. It was adorable. The one thing that really sucked is that there was this like super drunk slash drunk guy behind slash next to us who was like falling over himself. I guess it was his birthday since his one friend said 'happy birthday, man' to him like 50 times. Oh, and thy totally toked up during the show, which then prompted other people around us to do the same. Eventually his friends took him out of the middle of the floor, of course it was after a couple [I'm assuming they were a couple] behind us was like, 'you might want to take that out of here before he collapses, I don't want to deal with that'. Amen.

Oh, and Allegra and I had this moment where we thought we saw Andrew D'Ambrosi, of Top Chef fame, at the concert. There was this guy who totally looked like him. We seriously had a debate about it for like five minutes. At certain angles we were like, 'oh my god, it's totally him'. But then there was this one angle that like made it definetly not him. But then we see another angel and be like, 'maybe'. In the end we decided it was not him. This guy seemed too short, and if memory, and after looking at clips on youtube, serves me right, Andrew was kind of tall. This guy was not. Which brings me to this question: Does anyone know how tall he is? You would not believe how many places and how long I looked to see how tall he was. I could not find this information anywhere. It was really annoying. If you have this information, do not keep it to yourself. Oh, and we also decided it wasn't him, since he, you know, works and, I would assume, lives in New York, which is on the other side of the country. This story is almost as good as my story about how I almost saw Snoop Dog.

Anyway, then like 45 minutes later the Mountain Goats came on. They were really good. When the lead guy came out, Allegra was like, 'he totally kinda looks like Colbert.' I said, 'kinda' only because he ran out like Colbert wil do before an interview. But then it hit me who he really looked like: Michael Showalter. Like they could be twins. Then of course, the whole night while I was watching him, all I could think about is how much he looked like Michael Showalter. And his voice is kind of how I would imagine Michael Showalter to sing, nasely and geeky. Don't get me wrong, I actually really enjoyed the music and everything, just I could not get over HOW MUCH they looked alike.

In case you don't know who Michael Showalter is, ergo don't know what he looks like, here is an episode of his web series The Michael Showalter Showalter:



Ok back to the concert, you know those drunken douche bags who scream nonsensical shit at concerts? That guy was totally standing next to me. He happened into our area right before the Mountain Goats were about to go on. Trying to get closer and closer by edging his way forward. Allegra would not let him pass, even though he said, 'excuse me'. As Allegra, rightly, pointed out, saying 'excuse me' while butting ahead of someone does not make it more polite, nor does it sheild the fact that you are being a selfish prick by trying to butt ahead so that you can see better, all the while standing right in front of the people you just surpassed. Anyway, this guy mananged to get by Allegra, all the while being a total douche bag. Then the Mountain Goats started playing, and he started shouting out random shit, that really made no sense. And while they were playing he shouted random shit too. Like when Kaki King came back out to sing a song with the band, he shouted, 'Drill baby, Drill'. WTF. Thankfully this guy was not there the whole time. He had a tiff with his girlfriend, who kept fucking bumping into me, and they stormed off. THANK GOD.

Overall the concert was really fun, and made me a fan of at least two new bands (seriously, that first band sucked major ass).

Stupid School.

Saturday, I was sitting around watching the game, it's the 6th inning, and Chase Utley and Ryan Howard hit back-to-back home runs when, suddenly, my cable cuts out. The school was planning on cutting out internet/cable/phones at 10pm until 8am the next day. It was only 9:15, they were a full 45 minutes early. This particularly sucked, since it turns out the Phils won in dramatic fashion, with Ruiz scoring Bruntlett on an infield single, and I missed it. I had to watch it on the internet this morning, not nearly as exciting, since I already knew the outcome.

Stupid school.

Drill Baby, Drill!

Sarah Palin porn as read by Ricky Gervais and Thandie Newton. Results, hilarious.

John McCain Ads Redone.

What if John McCain hired famous directors to make his political ads?



Here are my thoughts.

John Woo-Not really sure what to say here, I don't know if I have ever seen any John Woo movies. A quick look on imdb says I have actually seen two Woo movies, Face/Off and Mission: Impossible II, both of which I really enjoyed. Face/Off a total guilty pleasure, I mean the plot is so convoluted, I mean a good guy [John Travolta] getting a face transplant from a bad guy [Nicolas Cage] in order to pose as the bad guy, but then the bad guy wakes up or something, and then gets the good guy's face put on his. So ridiculous, but so entertaining. I totally remember renting this movie when I got my wisdom teeth removed, along with I think The Cell and something else. Good times. And M:I II? That was back while Tom Cruise was still cool, and not crazy. Anway, way off point. The Woo portion of the video was ok, I guess. Don't really know John Woo style, besides slow mo action scenes.

Kevin Smith-They decided to go old school Kevin Smith and did the segment à la Clerks. Meh. The dialogue was not near fast enough to even be in the relm of a Kevin Smith flick. And while Kevin Smith has a penchant for the Star Wars dialogue, it was not near witty enough to BE Kevin Smith dialogue. Also, he only has ever made one black and white film, with that sort of style, so not really applicable.

Wes Anderson-I would say pitch perfect. The long one take, moving in slight slow motion with a Bowie song playing over it. Perfection. The only decent one in the bunch.
