One Year Ago Today

fred armisen is killing comedy

tee vee comedy, at least.  (seth rogen and jonah hill are taking care of whatever judd apatow missed cinema-wise.)  portlandia is excruciatingly terrible, and snl stuff is whatever the opposite of entertaining is.  it could be argued that he's doing his best to kill music, too, what with being married to sally timms and dragging the hapless carrie brownstein down with him into portlandia.  fortunately, timms was able to escape!  armisen is another of those people who have a history and a background far more compelling than anything they've done in their careers. 

virag's movie reviews: fatherland (????, make this movie)

someone needs to make this movie, an american, not a limey.  i know there was a stupid hbo tee vee movie, but this thing could make a fantastic real movie.  like the girl with the dragon tattoo, fatherland is an awful book, with a ridiculous middle-aged sexual superhero main character and a hilarious limey-centric point of view.  however, awful books often make good films, and there's a lot here to go with, especially if you were to put the defeated and useless british in their proper place in the story.  hitler's grand and ostentatious berlin architecture, the german-led european union, the american/german cold war and space race, 1980's technology in the world of the 1960's, nazis, americans, murder, anti-heroes, a corroding society, it's all here.  a good script could toughen up the story and characterization much like the swedes did with dragon tattoo, and now with the ability to portray the over the top nazi berlin with cgi, this thing could rock.  so, get to it.  make the fucking movie.

just when you thought it couldn't get any dumber

then this assclown returns.  from the pathetic star wars spiel and the worship of the world's most bloated and pompous idiots in the history of rawk music, he, she or it is as lame as it gets.  i'm convinced that it's a creation of craig gaulzetti's nephew, richard sach's wife or perhaps tarik saleh, cuz if he's sincere then somebody shoulda' drowned him in a burlap sack with kittens. 

bill o'reilly is too stupid to shut up about sandra fluke

i think that bill o'reilly is desperately trying to prove that he's every bit as dumb as plankton eric bolling and just won't shut up about sandra fluke.  he's going to get himself blown out like porkins if he's not careful.
