The Perfect Storm

But the Alamo Drafthouse also has Hecklevision which you actually text in the theatre and your texts appear on screen. So we can’t pretend like they’ve got a totally hardline stance. But yes, i absolutely agree. The Drafthouse is the best theatre I’ve patronized and I’m very happy they’re coming to NYC.

I don’t even have to read what you write anymore. I just upvote it automatically.

I’d posit that Regular Show is equally funny. But to answer Gabe’s question, there are things that exist with this same kind of vigor, zest, and optimism, but most of pop culture is so singular today that it simply won’t resonate on the level of a Muppet Show. Much of what was touched on Retromania or what Touré has also kind of championed, the thinking that there are no longer water cooler moments. It’s very rare that we are all watching the same thing, let alone the same positive or hopeful thing.

Why is the latter point true? That’s maybe a symptom of the jaded world that we live in now. Sure. But I think it’s similar to my byline whenever people try to tell me that music is no good anymore. If you really look for something great, you’ll find it.

If ever there were any doubt. The comments are forever my favorite.

I’m very delighted for this corner. Glad it’s getting some love here*

*along with how many million watch the show, but I want to feel validated on the internet.

“I told you we should have gone with the Waka Flocka Flame-broiled Whopper campaign.”

So we finally know what the inspiration behind the song “Real Love” is.

Wear a big badge that says your name with your avatar on your face. We will all embrace you, of course.

There are far too few Flocka jokes on this thread. Because he is kinda the best.

Also, I would definitely encourage the throwing of local parties. I met many friends I commented with everyday, and people I didn’t even know commented that way. V cool. Go for it dudes!

FINALLY. As a Chicago Monster now located in NYC, I’m very sad to not be with my midwest friends, but I’m happy to hang at the REAL PARTY LOSERS.

ATTN: If you are a Texas dwelling monster or are heading that way for SXSW, let us know on the Videogum FB page. We are thinking about doing a meetup. So make yourself heard!

I’m not absolving Chris Brown of anything. I’m hardly a #TeamBreezy teenager. I just think that Seth Rogen’s, and ostensibly many of those who ascribe to this view that they are really taking a stand for anything by making a Chris Brown joke, are wrong. They aren’t. They still look the other way. And I still think Seth Rogen is gross for that “explanation”. Sorry. And just to clarify, Rihanna didn’t perform with Chris Brown at the Grammys. They later worked together on some songs, but the Grammys had nothing to do with that.

 +1Posted on Feb 27th | re: Here Are Some Afternoon Links! (33 comments)

I know this is late in the day, so it probably won’t be as read, but Seth Rogen’s speech was kind of bullshit. And people that herald him any sort of protector of women’s anything is misguided. He’s the same person who thinks that date rape is not rape, and is also very funny. Also, The Academy Awards has brought back time and again spousal abusers/horrible people: Sean Penn, Mark Wahlberg, Roman Polanski (nom’d/not there obvs), Michael Fassbender, Josh Brolin.

So don’t try to tell me that the film industry isn’t the same morally bankrupt masturbatory money mill that all of the other major Hollywood institutions are.

Man has always loved his bridges, but what happens when the bridges say…no more?

 +4Posted on Feb 17th | re: The World's Most Impressive Basketball Highlights Reel (30 comments)

Should I take this as a sign to revive my storied (like 2 posts) Sportsgum blog at MOBFD? I’ll say yes.

 +3Posted on Feb 17th | re: Thursday Night TV Open Thread (101 comments)

Can we talk about Up All Night. Very enjoyable. Though, I thought Reagan was particularly put out of the way to be selfish this episode, I thought it was better than 30 Rock, which is spinning its wheels.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Oh, I thought we were trying to become Super Saiyans. Nvm, carry on.

I so get it. And I would be more than happy to take Casey Wilson off of your hands sir. I hartz Penny!

 +6Posted on Feb 10th | re: Thursday Night TV Open Thread: Valentine's Day! (78 comments)

On Twitter, Principal Enchman said “Wait, that 30 Rock was an hour? But nothing even happened.” And I couldn’t have agreed more. It was pointless. Also it’s his birthday today, so shoutout to Doc.

I can no longer stand idly by. Steve Winwood, giving you a Pinhead of the Day, for clearly lapsing on post after post of not correcting Gabe’s spelling of JC Penney, which has gone on for months. Consider yourself on notice.

 +5Posted on Feb 9th | re: Capturing A Paper Mâché Rhino: A Beautiful Metaphor (17 comments)

Look, I’m not going to post the gif of the rhino scene from Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, though it would be terribly apropos. And I would say, probably the only time it would be appropriate to mention anywhere. But, I just wanted to remind everyone of that. And of Tommy Davidson.

The Rock has friends in low and HIGH places. Jealous, Garth Brooks? #countrygum

Okay, let’s just go to Penney’s at the Manhattan Mall after work.
