This week I spent some time really THINKING about the show I was assigned. You know...REALLY just thinking about it. Then, I realized it didn't deserve that kind of attention and ripped it to pieces like I usually do. Enjoy my take on PAST LIFE, the start-of-season mid-season pre-replacement.
Huzzah. I made it to 100 episodes and have just been renewed for, gosh, who knows how many more. What great times we live in when weird, hilarious, and surprisingly cool comedians named Sean Crespo get to make a living shooting videos in his, as Tommy Wiseau might put it, "underwears." Blessed be the geek. Amen.
I loved BSG. I will love Caprica. But maybe the show could look a little less "Madmen" and a little more "we've discovered interstellar travel and have numerous human colonies." The alternate universe future doesn't have to be slick, but it also doesn't have to look like it's waiting for you to ask it to go steady and take it to the fishes under the sea dance.
Hey, remember CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, the movie about a check forger caught by an FBI agent who then later rescued the forger from prison by hiring him to catch other check forgers? Did you enjoy it?
A. Yes? Great. There's a television show just like that now.
B. No? Too bad. There's a television show just like that now.
Carol and I tackle yet another example of the intricate emotional back and forth that is the buddy cop relationship.
Starfish!
(you'll understand after you watch the video. which you should do now.)
Just keep in mind that more to love also means...more to hate. There. I've woven my spell of light hearted humor once again. You're welcome. Now watch the video.
I want to like this. I really do. But from what I've seen. I can't. And don't. And won't. But maybe that will change. But maybe not. But maybe yes. But then, probably not. But maybe possible somehow yes not maybe too can't won't yes no. That made about as much sense as creating an "Office" knockoff.
Do spies take of their sunglasses in an acceptably dramatic fashion? Find out on blah blah blah...seriously guys, It's been a year. Just watch my goddamn web "show."
I apologize for the delay in posting this week's episode of NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE. I would blame my busy schedule but it reads this blog too. I don't want to anger it. Shhhhhh.....
This is how I feel after I finish editing one of my NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE videos...
Hey! You know what? Speaking of NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE, I just made my 50th episode for Bravo's Television Without Pity.
The big FIVE OH. Can you believe that? I can. You know why? Because I'm at home watching "Iron Eagle" on AMC right now, which, let me remind you, stands for American Movie CLASSICS. And the sort of person who makes vlogs for a living probably also watches something like "Iron Eagle" each and every time it appears on television. Each and every, people. Nevertheless, here are two relevant questions:
1. How did "Iron Eagle" become a classic? 2. Where is Lou Gosset Jr.?
All I can hope for is that he has the decency to please please please remake this music video originally created as the mind-bogglingly-hilarious-hair-band-companion to the classic cinematic event "Iron Eagle."
I don't care about remaking the movie. I just want to see an updated version of this video. I'm hungry for awful but by awful I mean wonderful. Thank you, Youtube. If you do remake it, Lou--can I call you Lou?--may I recommend shooting the video with this hit band from the 80's...NAUGHTY TOWN.
I'd also like to point out that I play on an ice hockey team that includes a number of comedian friends, including Patrick Borelli, Dave Hill, Barry Rothbart, and the (did you know this?) Lou-Gosset-Jr.-obsessed Eric Slovin. Now you know.
Could "Biggest Loser" really make overweight people even more obese? Can my new puppy, Fenny, get any cuter? Will the IRON FLOOR GYM workout change your life?
Well, the holidays are over and I'm closing in on my 50th vlog for TV WITHOUT PITY. Just wrapped #46, about BIGGEST LOSER, a couple minutes ago-- in fact, me and *the crew are gonna have a cast party in just a bit.
For now though, enjoy this vloggy gem about Gossip Girl from our treasured collective past until my next posting tomorrow.
I'll help you answer the deepening question, "Is 'Gossip Girl' really about the moral apathy that only the truly wealthy can experience -- or just awful people saying awful things about each other?"
*Carol Hartsell and our new puppy Fenchurch or "Fenny" for short.
What does a nerd need in order to become a superspy like Chuck? For starters: Jimmy Fallon-like looks, unattainably sexy women nearby, and a connection to "Tron." Don't worry. I'll explain.
