WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT POSTMODERN BULLSHIT?
(via kzhang)
I feel like the most likely of my friends to defend shitty movies but really? Really? I can’t even pretend I appreciate it. I hated Cache.
What’s left on my Hulu queue:
Pumpkin (expires sometime today)
Last Tango in Paris (expires in 13 hours)—not gonna happen
The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming! (expires today)
A River Runs Through It (expires today)—not gonna happen
28 Days Later (expires tomorrow)
Naked Lunch (expires tomorrow)—probably not gonna happen

Gillespie: I’ll tell you a secret—nobody comes here. Never. (long pause) You married? Tibbs: No. Gillespie: Ever been? Tibbs : No. Gillespie: Ever been close to it? Tibbs: (leans back) Close to it. Gillespie: (long pause, studies glass of bourbon in hands) Don’t you get, just… a little lonely? In the Heat of the Night is beautiful at that moment. Then Gillespie ruins...
Does anyone else have this problem with Hulu where you don’t check it for awhile, and then find out that like six movies you’ve always wanted to see are expiring in the next two days? I’m going to see them all. I’ll make it work.

A Fool for Film: Underworld: Rise of the Lycans
whatafoolbelieves:
Open on a small studio. It is dimly lit with a backdrop of black curtain. Before the curtain hang several large posters from famous films like Dunston Checks In, Baby Geniuses, and The Adventures of Pluto Nash. Before the curtain and below the posters sits a man on a rusty fold-out chair. The man is What a Fool Believes, the host of a program called A Fool for Film.

Ugh. Lila from Hey Arnold! is based on Anne of...

Wowa.

I hate exhausting all my tv in concentrated periods of time. I’m almost done HIMYM season 4, there are no new Desperate Housewives for a while, and it seems like ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS ON REAL TELEVISION.
It seems all I really want lately is to grab a pillow, watch NPH, eat, and maybe read.
(AND TO TOP IT OFF, the last episode of Futurama is the only thing I’ve found on TV that’s...

Lucky. Your first time?
YUP. And it was GREAT.
I will never know something as well as I know Back to the Future. Congratulations on your viewing!
The Duality of Bad Math
You see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. “Wait,” you think. “Isn’t Daisy thirty-one right now? Why is she acting and referring to herself as being in her early twenties?” You realize this could have been averted with five seconds of forethought.
You go to a closing entertainment store, and see a brand new movie for $30. As everything is 50% off, the advertised...

Holy shit. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button wasn’t nearly good enough to merit shooting someone.
OMG LAGUERTA IS LEAVING DEXTER AND JOINING UGLY...

I was really looking forward to Laguerta being a major character next season. SUX.
WHAT?

This show was so offensive that I am not at all surprised it was cancelled.
You know the AFI sucks when it includes British films.
'Gilmore Girls' producer sues WBTV →

barthel:
But the producer is not Amy Sherman-Palladino or Daniel Palladino. An interesting little glimpse into what went down behind the scenes on that show, leading to the creators getting kicked off after the sixth season. Coincidentally, the WB claims that the only season the show ran a profit was the seventh, the one without the creators attached. (N.B. This is not actually...
I read this book yesterday when I wasn’t sleeping through Jesus’s big day. It certainly has some problems in the way it is written, but I can so easily see the television show in this. It would be great. Can’t wait. I could also easily see some sort of old-time Academy Award-nominated actress playing the character Ruth and getting an Emmy out of it for good material and as a...
The Question of Like.
tumbletiquette:
Since the like is a new feature, the rules for playing are fast and loose—as of right now. But here are some guidelines to help you cut down on the over-abuse of the “like”:
1) It is redundant to both “like” and reblog something.
2) If you post something, and someone reblogs it with something you find interesting, you should not “like” their response. This will make you seem...
