His transition was so odd. It's no coincidence that Wes Anderson's funniest films had Owen Wilson as co-writer. Yet for some reason he took the path of playing leading man in whatever generic Hollywood comedy would have him. His whole situation reeks of squandered potential.

Best Farrelly Brothers
Kingpin. Hands down.

Yeah, Todd Packer is easily the best/funniest minor character The Office has. So if it's not funny then we know who's to blame…

Bradley Cooper
Still looks pretty douchey. Maybe he needs more make-up.

Hey Sean
Conor Oberst called.

Hey the Lions have improved vastly under Schwartz: from an excruciatingly awful squad to a mildly bad bordering on mediocre one.

Observe & Report was a really big pleasant surprise.

Bill Murray or Johnny Depp?
Where the Buffalo Roam was a disaster of a film (courtesy of a hack director) but I thought Bill Murray nailed Thompson's pattern of speaking and voice inflection much better than Depp did. With a competent director and more coherent narrative, Where the Buffalo Roam could've been so so

Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail
I read this in the summer of 2008 and was shocked at how much it paralleled the election that year. Obama as the McGovern of the election—a liberal idealist who had so much of the youth vote that only a portion of them needed to actually turn out to vote in order to win it.

Jim Schwartz Didn't Like It
It has been reported that Detroit Lions head football coach Jim Schwartz saw The King's Speech recently and, while he appreciated the performances of Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter, came away from the experience a little empty. He said the film might've been "too snooty" for his

Yeah, Tasha's a film critic/journalist who's put herself out there with those video blog entries to help enhance this site we all cherish so much…not to have her looks mocked by some anonymous fuckwad. That's some grammar school immaturity there, Dude.

Low blow, Dude. Low. Blow.

Wait
So this isn't Whoopi Goldberg's lesbian partner? I've been confused this whole time!

What set me off was perusing through Failblog the other day. Literally, every video clip was preceded by a 15-30 second advertisement. Infuriating.

Advertisements: End Game
Can we all just agree that ads in just about every medium have gotten out of control? I was watching some Arrested Development behind-the-scenes featurette and David Cross was joking that pretty soon we will have 22-minute blocks of assorted promos for 8 minutes of actual programming.

"You know those round-the-way girls…with the booty…stink…need to wash they asses better."

I watched a random episode from 1986 or something just because Harry Dean Stanton hosted. Anthony Michael Hall was on the cast. I think that says it.

I saw it on Comedy Central yeaaaars ago. They cut it and put a PSA over it touching on how it was "inappropriate" and concerned "female hygiene."

Always Get The Two Confused
Was it Eddie Griffin or Martin Lawrence who used their SNL monologue to expound on women needing to wash they asses better?

Swing and a miss?
