I would listen to hockey on the radio religiously if this guy were the local commentator:
SHE BLINDED ME WITH SCIENCE!!

Aaarrrgghh!
This makes me crazy!
This is over the course of 4 minutes! How did this woman get her license?? How many people has she possibly run over and/or killed?? And this isn't even parallel parking here. This is the basic, easy kind. The kind that you are always tested on. There are some states that don't test you on parallel parking. Alabama is one of them. So I had to learn really fast when I moved to DC. Now I kick parallel parking spaces ass! But I have always wanted to do what the guy in the video did eventually: get out of my car, knock on their window and say, "Let me do it". Ah woman, you are terrifying.

That's my childhood on your head!
This is kind of disturbing! This is by designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac and he takes the heads and hides of Kermit, Fozzie, and Animal and attaches them to unfazed models. They are probably so hungry they don't even notice they are wearing fuzzy icons. Or they are probably 12 and don't know who the hell the Muppets are in the first place. For shame! Here is the original source sent to me by M. Dove.
I love in that post that they mention that this designer doesn't touch Miss Piggy. That bitch will cut you! And then she would wear the models heads and hides on HER body! I wish I was good a Photoshop because that image HAS to be created!

Obama = Anti-Christ/Hitler/Keyser Soze
I'm blogging a lot today! I just had to post this video from The Daily Show last night. It includes two nut jobs who believe that Obama is the anti-Christ/Hitler and a Usual Suspects parody that kills:
"Do you...think before you speak?"
"Do you...think before you speak?"
Winslet took Extras advice
It worked, didn't it?

Hilarious that it actually happened!

Just when I thought I was going into a dark period of my life, I see a glimmer of hope! As you all know, Conan O'Brien is taking over the Tonight Show, which I am incredibly INCREDIBLY excited about. This coming from a girl who was watching the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson when she was 2, standing on my mother's bed jumping up and down to the theme song and shouting "Heeeeeeeeere's Johnnny!" along with Ed McMahon. And I never jumped on the Jay Leno bandwagon. I was pro-Letterman.
But with the news that the Max Weinberg 7 and his crazy ass hilarious announcer Joel were not going with Conan, I started to get worried. I was already worried because Conan is just not going to get away with many of the things he got away with at his show because a wider range of people watch the Tonight Show and I don't believe he would be able to do things like the masturbating bear and most of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog's material (which sucks because this stuff is hysterical!)
But now, news! Good news! Andy Richter is joining Conan as his announcer!! The light at the end of the tunnel! Maybe he can make it work. Maybe he can take what he has been doing to the Tonight Show. I really hope so. I worry about how prudish, judgemental, and narrowminded Americans can be. But hey, we elected Obama! Anything can happen! :)

I might have to bitch slap Cera
Guess what?? One of the best shows of all time is coming to a movie theater near you! That show is Arrested Development! But, as you can see from that link, someone is being a bitch. That is Michael Cera. I used to love him. Now, he's being a bitch, which makes me want to bitch slap him, because that's what you do to bitches. Good thing Jeffery Tambor is THE MAN and might do it for me while dragging Cera by the balls to the set. Although, as pointed out by Jossip, Cera loves to look like a prick for sport. Let's hope he is just joking around because I think we all would like some Bluths back in our lives.

Badass or just...bad
Ok there are three movies that are floating around in my mind. They could either go in one direction or the other. Badass or bad.
Example number 1:
Ghostbusters 3!
That's right. Another Ghostbusters is in the works!
Why this would be bad:
I always say, if it ain't broke don't fix it. My gut is telling me that they would cast new, younger Ghostbusters. Yes, there are some funny MFers out there who would be perfect for this type of franchise but really? No Murray? They would probably bring him in as a mentor. I don't want to see him as a mentor, I want to see him fighting ghosts and making fun of Aykroyd!! And the sequel wasn't spectacular by any means, even though I love it so and I can quote it almost as good as the original. And Aykroyd and Ramis are not writing it. I know that Aykroyd is involved somehow, but not writing. Ummm....yeah...
Why this would be badass:
The writers from The Office are working on the script which will add a fresh look at things. And they have the potential to stay true to the dry deliveries necessary in dealing with an over-the-top storyline. And if their new Ghostbusters include guys like Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Bill Hader, and Paul Rudd, I will be one happy happy panda.
Example number 2:
Inglourious Basterds!
Why this would be bad:
Tartantino let me down with Death Proof, his half of Grindhouse. It was incredibly too talky and this coming from a girl who loves Tartantino dialogue. Way too much of it was just not interesting and I couldn't give a shit by the end of it, I just wanted it to end. So is this another movie where dialogue will get in the way? Or will it just be violence, violence, violence, for the sake of violence with no point?
Why this would be badass:
Tartantino, even though Death Proof was a miss, is a master at blending violence for the sake of violence with quirky, awesomefantastic dialogue. It could go in the direction of Kill Bill with vengance on its mind and never let up until the end. And it could be very inappropriately funny, something that we all have come to expect and ask for in Tartantino. And plus, I always like Brad Pitt in these kind of roles. He does his best work in movies like Fight Club, 12 Monkeys, and Snatch where the movie isn't about his pretty pretty pretty face. The pressure is off and you can see it in his performances. And finally, they are killing Nazis!! Who won't cheer for that??
Example number 3:
WATCHMEN!!!
Why this would be bad:
Please please please don't be bad!!! One of Time Magazines top 100 novels of all time! The novel that inspired mine and DFG's Halloween costumes this past year! The epic epic deliciousness of it all! Ok sorry. Why this would be bad. Zack Snyder, the director, directed 300, a total disappointment for, what I hear, is a great graphic novel. All of the slow-motion-into-real-time-motion action sequences got so freakin' old in that movie. And all of the naked men going into battle with their bodies so chiseled and muscular that it was border line hilarious. Ok, it WAS hilarious! I laughed. Out loud. At this movie. And the acting was paaaaaainful. It was a hot mess. But the effects were very pretty. I also heard somewhere that they changed the ending. No no no no no no no.
Why this would be badass:
It's Watchmen. I heard that they do stay very true to the novel, except for the ending of course. And it is perfectly cast with fantastic actors. The trailer looks gorgeous. I believe this might bring out Zack Snyder's best work because he knows there is a lot of pressure on him to not screw this up. This isn't 300. It's Watchmen. Really, I've decided it's going to be badass because it has to be. Just haaaaaas to be!
Alright, let's hope for 3 badasses. Wait and see.

Well...hi
Yeah I haven't blogged since July. But in my defense, the day job got extremely busy and then I did two shows back to back that rehearse during the day so the day job got INCREDIBLY busy and hectic and I was behind for a long time. So, sorry to the 2 people who read this blog. And to make it up to you here is my new favorite video that I cannot stop watching:
And here you can look into the future at what my child will be like:
Ok so, hi again. Hope to write soon :)
