A Fake Interview With Ian McShane

Gabe — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 17:50:32 +0000

[The Hollywood actor, Ian McShane, has a very busy schedule, being a Hollywood actor and everything, so he probably would not have time to sit down with us or answer any of our questions, so we didn't even bother asking him. This is a fake interview with Ian McShane.]

Videogum: Hi, Ian McShane, thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to talk to us for real, this is real, this is definitely happening, so thank you.
Ian McShane: You are real welcome.
Videogum: Can I get you anything? Imaginary coffee or make believe water?
Ian McShane: I’d love some make believe water, actually.
Videogum: OK, just make a cup with your hand.

Ian McShane makes a cup with his hand.

Videogum: That’s really nice object work, Ian McShane.
Ian McShane: I’m a professional actor.
Videogum: Right.

We fill Ian McShane’s hand cup with some dream water.

Ian McShane: Thank you.
Videogum: So, I read recently that you have been cast as a dwarf in an upcoming Snow White movie.

Case 39: The Rene Zellweger Horror Movie

Lindsay Robertson — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 09:28:01 +0000

There’s a trailer for Case 39, starring Rene Zellweger, Bradley Cooper, and Ian McShane. I’m scared! For real!:

I’m going to have to say my favorite part is when Bradley Cooper vomits bees. (Wasps? Horseflies?)

Dear Baby Jesus, Please Let Kings Go All The Way With This Biblical Analogy

Lindsay Robertson — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 17:40:36 +0000

Guess who has two thumbs and just read the entire Wikipedia entry for King Saul? This chick! I was hoping to find clues to upcoming plot points on the already ratings-challenged but fascinatingly ridiculous new show, Kings, but then I remembered, wow, the Bible is super boring except for the sex parts. Reading about Saul and David’s breakups and makeups and caveman politics is like going back and reading your notes from high school. The things you remember as huge events and coups d’etat upon which entire social empires rose and fell were really just minor misunderstandings, like “Erica and her boyfriend got in a fight so we missed the Indigo Girls concert.” (True story, btw. Still mad.) Oh, except with more spears. Saul and David were constantly throwing spears at each other. And missing, often “on purpose.” Like, every day. The Bible is basically high school, with spears. Our entire civilization is based on a caveman version of Gossip Girl. Also, David so totally stole Saul’s milk jug! That little bitch! This is making me laugh so hard!

HOWEVER, my Wikipedia journey did lead me to one potential plot point that could shake prime time network television to its core (and I’m not talking about David and Jonathan being gay together, that’s only 1080 B.C./1997 A.D.-shocking.) I know Kings got low ratings, but please please please don’t cancel it before this happens….

Kings: The Drinking Game

Lindsay Robertson — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 13:37:04 +0000

So I watched the two-hour premiere of Kings last night for some reason, and it was hilarious. Even though the show is really up-front about the fact that it’s modeled on the story of Saul and David from the Bible, I still couldn’t help but crack up whenever they threw in a really obvious reference, like David’s name being “David Shepherd,” or a newspaper headline about David defeating Goliath. It’s not a bad show or anything, it just takes itself and its mythology VERY seriously. It’s a total male fantasy soap opera as imagined by a very smart fourteen year old boy. It’s like the grown-man version of Gossip Girl. Last night’s two-hour premiere was more than enough material for a predictive drinking game, assuming it stays on the air, so let’s get this started.
