And all the grandpas say she’d rather fly, over sky dive

How does one subscribe to your more detailed thoughts on Mad Men? I was into those.

Whoa. Whoa whoa, hold the phone, full commenting history? How did I miss that? I feel like 56 pages is low for the amount of time I’ve spent here.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go try and sell Mans’ entire body of work as a memoir.

Well the video’s been removed already, so clearly she didn’t want to get too famous.

And while you’re at it, a daily “Here are some Afternoon Links to Worst Movie of All Time Posts” feature would be nice.

I’m not saying you should do it, I’m just saying it would be nice.

It’s a joke, but this is kind of a good point. People watched the Muppets to ‘feel good’ amidst all the heavy-handed seriousness or plain old bad quality garbage going on around it. We’ve just found a much more efficient way to get our dose of that. The Internet has become the new escape where we can get that instant shot of pleasure from watching a cat video or a two-year old falling down the stairs or whatever, that we might have once got from a show like the Muppets (that was as much slapstick as it was sentimental). It’s just in a format now where every 90 seconds we get to choose what form that entertainment takes. It removes the cultural significance that something like the Muppets had because none of us is watching the same thing, but then we create communities like Videogum to showcase what we’re watching in a way that we can share and enjoy them together, and develop them into our own form of pop culture.

So I guess what I’m trying to say is, we are our Muppets.

Or, if you’re looking for a more long-form equivalent actually related to the medium being discussed, how about Pixar?

“Siri, will you teach me how to Dougie?”

I’m also thinking if enough of us submit “the time you won Best Actress for Shakespeare in Love”, maybe they’ll eventually just accept it.

Is there a German word for when you’ve liked a band for years and then they put out a song that makes them famous in a way they never were before and suddenly everyone you know is trying to introduce you to them, and it kind of makes you want to like them less, even though they’re still really good? It feels like there should be a German word for that.

Yeah anyway, that’s Gotye for me. Good song, but Gotye showing up on Glee is just too weird for me.

I wasn’t sure either, but this interview with Chevy Chase from March 31 makes it look pretty legit.

When a trailer uses the tagline “Sometimes the past is a present”, my future will certainly not include me watching this movie.

Oh, don’t be such a facetaco about it.

Miller realized she had to send a text, to remind her friend not to get distracted in shopping malls. Unfortunately it was a poorly timed text for both of them.
