So it was fake-nounced today on imdb that they are moving forward with the Arrested Development movie. I'm waiting until I hear this from a more credible source, but in the meantime, check out this amazing gallery of Arrested Development gif's.
I lol'd all over the place when I found these on oh no they didn't.
Facebook ads suck sometimes. I mainly get ones about tightening my abs and reminding me that I'm '29 and still single'. Well you know what, Facebook? I'd rather be single than married to someone and trolling the service below...
This is so good.
Anyone with experience in the agency world will relate to this. Brilliant!
This trailer made me laugh really hard.
It looks like a cinematic experience on the level with Crossroads, Glitter and Baby Geniuses. All of which I saw in the theatre. Don't judge me.
But just to hang out. Maybe drink lemonade. Certainly not to write and act hours of Buffy/Dr. Horrible slash fanfic.
Oh Joss, you make me want to do evil.
So, anyhow - Joss Whedon created and wrote/produced Buffy - the best television show of all time, period. What Tarantino is to action film, Joss is to genre television - deep fans of their medium, their projects are a blend of homage and original creation, playing to a populist audience but with rich payoff for smarter/deeper viewers, and done with so much fun they make it look easy. Love the Joss.
So, during last year's writer strike, instead of getting bloated and lying around the California coastline, he wrote, produced and directed (with collaboration from his brother and some others) a three-part supervillian musical miniseries called Dr. Horrible, starring Neil Patrick Harris. Love the Joss.
It was broadcast online only, for free (although after this weekend it is supposed to be only on iTunes - $4) as an experiment in alternate distribution and, as Joss describes in a LA Times interview, to create an Internet event for the fans (and others) to enjoy because we enjoyed it so much Mission accomplished. The first installment was successful enough to crash the servers and, most importantly, is an amazing, compelling, hella fun little bit of cinema.
In the same interview, Joss mentions that he is doing a musical commentary for this, which is pretty much the best idea ever. LOVE THE JOSS.
You should go watch it right now.
...but what y'all call beef is not beef at all.
I don't know if you're following the old skool versus new skool beef between Ice-T and Soulja Boy, but if not, the Beckstar provides.
The play by play goes as follows: Ice-T disses Soulja Boy on the MixTape, Soulja Boy responds with video, Ice-T answers in kind. Kanye chimes in. Enjoy:
Ice-T --> "Soulja Boy - let me talk about Soulja Boy. I know you're young enough to be my kid, but you singlehandedly killed hip hop"
Soulja Boy --> "Real talk though. Mr T. you gots to- you must understand, shit is different now. When you was born, niggas was still driving in wood cars, god-damn Walmart wasn't made yet, you know. There wasn't no internet, there wasn't no video cameras to record this, to diss your whole ass on."
Ice-T --> "If any war, it's going to be good hip hop versus bad hip hop, you understand what I'm saying? And if there has to be a war on that battlefield, then' I'm proud to be the general, nigga. And I will never shoot a round off."
This went viral a while back, so you've likely seen it, but I've got to repost as it's hella funny, and really, really worth the six minutes.
It's a video entitled An Engineer's Guide to Cats, and while it is certainly that, it is also a perfect example of how engaging a low budget and an engaging personality can be.
Corporal cuddling is seriously an amazing concept
I've written before about the unique magic of cat owners, and this is a prime example.
Yet another awesome comedy vid inspired by the world of social networking.
If nothing else, the popularity of vids like this is a clear indication that the social net. phenomenon has reached critical mass, and that we're all trying to figure out what it means.
'cause it's gonna get sloppy!
1992 was amazing.
I love this line in particular:
By the time you add up all the people who are involved in creating an application, you'll end up with as many as 20 or 30 people.
Idiots of Ants are a UK based comedy troupe. These particular ones are based on the premise of Facebook-style interaction in the real world. Enjoy the LOL's.
It's funny to watch, as obviously Facebook communication is stilted and strange when done in person. The hundred or so comments added since the video was uploaded four days ago are quick to crow about how it
This is great, now I can send this to my friends when they ask why I'm not on Facebook.
brilliant.. i dont understand why anyone would want the world to see what the frick they are doing...frikin hate facebook...
Great...that's why a Removed my account from Facebook lol
HA thats so funny i guess its realy like that when u think about it'
"He's in his wiiiiiide stance! with his hammer pants down!" Hats off to you Jon Stewart.
Together in one amazing user-created vid. Seriously - this rules.
... a fifty-first of Miss Teen USA 2007 delegates is jawdroppingly stupid.
This is either a moment of nerves taking over a brain, or an amazing insight into the world view of the extreme idiot.
You know, I always found the whole 'pageants are about academic scholarship' angle a bit dubious...
But this is insanely viral right now, and I thought, out of service to my readers, you should be ahead of the curve on this madness:
If someone says 'Youtube? Isn't that all just autistic kids with keyboards these days?', you'll know to what they refer.
It's the anthem of the summer. It's the video of the year. It's the cutest robot ever.
Lupe Fiasco has been quietly ruling for a while, so stop sleeping and bear witness:
Praise due also to Jill Scott, who brings the vocals.
And this... is the weirdest commercial of the year. It's extremely disturbing and creepy, but hey - when you're trying to sell Slurpee's to kids, you do what you can. Noting, of course, that one of the more successful Slurpee flavours/promos in recent history was the Bloody Zit. Yeah. Maybe this works.
What, exactly, is he supposed to be drinking?
... like so many great things.
I love the new viral 2.0 paradise in which we find ourselves. Exhibit A:
Like woah. As I said, it all started with a Teletubbies video that did the same thing, and which is only slightly less awesome than the video above.
Good times... good times.
And for those that want to know - the song is by Unk, who is also pretty awesome, in a somewhat ironic sense.
Why oh why are the Japanese so good at television?
While we here in the West are giggling our remotes off over such mundane game show fodder as Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?, they are re-inventing this whole business, making humans into Tetris pieces, and generally making me question why one would watch anything but Japanese television, ever.
