Before the Oscars descend upon us in all their glory this weekend, I thought it'd be nice to throw out some diversions I found entertaining/amusing/whatever. After all, the internet is a wild, wonderful place and frankly, I just felt inclined to do so. In advance, you're welcome.
- What makes more sense than a LOST drinking game? If you answered, "Nothing on this god-forsaken planet", then you are correct. Coming soon, a Mad Men drinking game where you take a drink every time someone on the show drinks (oh sweet irony!), smokes, or says something offensive and un-p.c., the last man standing by the first commercial break deserves to be crowned king and hoisted upon shoulders.
- Do you also find Amy Winehouse disgusting and repugnant? Then get ready to drink in an eyeful of this. Something about juxtaposing a fiend like Winehouse next to a woman so affectionately referred to as "Meatwad disguised as a blueberry" really makes me laugh. I guess it also helps to know the background of someone like Winehouse who is ALWAYS being caught on camera doing crap like this (and always topless...*shudder*), so it makes sense to see her playing drunk naked Scrabble. Just another day in the life for ol' A-Wine.
- I know "Sugalumps" has been the big, trendy superhit for Flight of the Conchords this season, but I thought their latest dance-flavored masterpiece from this past Sunday's episode was even better. Affectionately titled, "Too Many Dicks".
- I'm not the biggest Tarantino fan you'll ever meet. He's made some excellent films (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction) and some not so excellent films (Kill Bill Vol. 1, Death Proof), but holy shit does Inglourious Basterds (yes, that is the proper spelling) look kickass. If you're about ready to vomit from having to watch another generic war movie like I am, I have a hunch that Mr. Tarantino isn't looking to make We Were Soldiers Part 2.
- Limp Bizkit AND Blink 182 are back together?! Could this be the greatest year in music history? I think so.
- On a less sarcastic note, Green Day has a new album coming out in May. It's been almost five years since American Idiot so you can probably count on May as being the month that you get your ass rocked.
- Oh, almost forgot! Superdrag has a new album coming out on St. Patty's Day, so those two cancel out Blink 182 and Limp Bizkit reuniting (I think). Whew, I was worried for a second.
- I don't know what it is about the exchange of, "So you're in The Day The Earth Stood Still?" "Yes" "Why?" that makes me laugh so hard (what can I say? I like simple). More from between two ferns...
I'll be back later this week with Oscar predictions and of course Oscar Sunday, only the greatest day of the year.
