Godsauce Alters Today’s Family Circus made me want to start a tumblr, just so that I can follow the Godsauce Alters Today’s Family Circus tumblr.

I also saw Garden State at 19 and loved it. Now I’m 26 and I love this blog post.

Also killing it for me? I saw GS twice in theatres, the second time as a double feature (KIDS!). The movie we started with was “Maria Full of Grace” …. whoops! The side by side comparison was, at best, eye opening.

This sounds like a request for a very special invite to an LA monster meet up. I’ll get the glitter and construction paper! I should just mail it to Hollywood, right? Care of Big Time?

Is it just me is or is the above rendition of “California Gurls” really really bad. Like, they accidentally turned on her mic when they shouldn’t have bad. Not that the original is any Tina Turner, but oof.

I actually just saw this last night… then saw the article this morning. Whoops, I totally thought at least parts of it were real (easily dupe-able, right here) but I think knowing it’s not makes it even more interesting and exciting. As an audience, we tend to be jaded with celebrity, when bigger stars make a movie, unavoidably, we bring all of this baggage about the actor to the character they’re trying to portray — which they touch on at the beginning of the film, the freedom as an actor to create realistic characters when everyone has this “character” already attached to you. So in a sense, making the character a bizarro Joaquin Pheonix, played by Joaquin Pheonix was kind of turning that on it’s head.

I love this blog (I have VIDEOGUM4EVS tattooed on my wallet) but I disagree with the bitterness that seems to be out there towards this project. When Affleck says they didn’t mean to “trick” anybody, I think he’s saying they didn’t do this with malicious intent toward the audience. I don’t get the sense that they want us to feel like idiots (which is probs why he came clean?) they were just experimenting with storytelling realism.
