sorry but not as hot as david hyde pierce and john cooper.

i think it says RETHINK in giant letters on purpose. also how is the guy who watches films for 14 hours a day better at this than the actor? bad news bears.

if they wanted to throw all their love at a little movie about iraq, they could have picked “the messenger”…

i stood behind kristin wiig at the grocery store last week and let me tell you, she is hot as hell in person. the fact that she plays gross/stupid/weird so much on the show makes her even funnier to me now. go k-dub.

Don’t get me wrong, the second that I am invited to the Sundance Film Festival, I am going to ditch this injured nerd posture in a SECOND and join Mila Kunis in the Stussy Lounge.

you realize all of these people were NOT invited right? most of the people that were never see that fuckin’ stussy lounge.

ah sundance and its “hidden” advertising. the year my short was in, our section had a film paid for by eBay, as well as isabella rossellini’s green porno shorts that ended up on the sundance channel.
independent filmmaking!!!

cy tolliver from deadwood? really? AND ryan phillippe? really??

you’ve officially become my favorite commentor, by either seconding or beating me to my posting my sexual fantasies (that somehow relate to a lot of VG posts?? odd.)

woody harrelson was pretty amazing in “the messenger.” the hollywood foreign press definitely circle jerked all over “inglourious” though so i wasn’t really expecting any different.

i feel terrible about this, but i have to admit that i spent all of parks and rec last night squinting at the TV and turning my head saying, “it is. isn’t it? it is…. justin theroux. no. it’s not….. him. maybe? it is. maybe i just think it’s him because his name is ‘justin’?”

someone back me up, because what is up with his HAIR???????

you sir are my fucking hero.

i’m gonna go out on a limb here and acknowledge that this might be a terrible movie, and am ready to get downvoted to hell for it, but i enjoy this movie for being what it is: emotional pornography. i know that IRL i would not want to marry the relationship-retarded ryan gosling and his giant house, but i’ll be damned if i would not go running to that unshaven face and eff that eff out of it, if you know what i’m saying, and i’m happy to watch rachel mcadams be a stand-in for it. (i would wager at least 20% of videogum knows what i’m saying.)

i fast foward through the alzheimers stuff, that’s a total non-boner jamz.

OH and I almost forgot “Sita Sings the Blues”, probably the only completely independently made animated feature put into theatres this year? And made by a lady! Trippy and beautiful. You can watch it for free online too – http://www.sitasingstheblues.com/

My Son My Son What Have Ye Done = Werner Herzog + David Lynch had a baby
Avatar = Delightful and migraine-inducing
The Cove = Pretty good
Sherlock Holmes = McDreamy
Broken Embraces = Only okay but only okay Almodovar films are still 19 times better than most films so whatever
