O.M.G.

I can't really do a better job than this explanation, taken from Best Week Ever:

There’s really only three things you can say after seeing the following preview for a game show I am dubbing my 2008 “Reason To Live”: O. M. G.
Thanks to the good people at the Game Show Network and Meow Mix, “Think Like a Cat” is the ultimate show for single gals and suicidal ones alike, where owners are quizzed about how well they know their cats, and the “catestants” face challenges such as who can eat the most food in 60 seconds.
Needless to say, the cats have no idea what the f**k is going on. Neither does host Chuck Woolery. Who can now hopefully pay off his car loans.
The winner of Think Like a Cat gets $1 million, more than enough money to buy a lifetime supply of Cosby sweaters and lint rollers and valiums.

Oh my god, I'm gonna watch the shit out of this show.

Oh, George Michael...

I've refrained from writing about the possibility of an Arrested Development movie for a while now, just because it's been so up in the air that it might not have been worth writing about if it didn't come to fruition. However, I read on Pajiba a bit ago that everyone's on board, and that Mitch Hurwitz is working on something else, but when he's done with that, he's going to start writing a script. So I'd give it a year and a half or two years before we even start seeing trailers, if at all. Anyways, that's all well and good, but there's a hitch: Michael Cera might not even be in it. I guess he doesn't see the point in doing a movie, which is so depressing. I can't see anyone else in that role.

"Yes, it's a go," an Arrested castmember who asked not to be named tells me. "We're all very excited. And it will happen with or without the holdout."
Wait a minute...The holdout? Yes, I'm also told exclusively by multiple sources that one of the show's original castmembers has not signed on to the movie...
"Yeah, [he or she] might not do it," an actor says of this costar. "However, I do know that we will do the project with or without [him or her]."
Add that to this September quote from Michael Cera... "I don't think I would want to see a movie of the series if I was a fan anyways...and I don't really see a need for it if you can get the three seasons on DVD."

Cue sad Snoopy music...

What Am I Even Talking About Anymore?

I blog on another blog now. We'll see how long my attention span will allow it.

It's fancier than mine. Le sigh.

A Cross the Universe

You guys, Justice has a live album and an hour-long documentary DVD coming out on December 8th called A Cross the Universe. I have the "Stress" track from it, and it's super great. I'm usually not a huge fan of live albums because I think they're just so repetitive and self-serving (like, "let's offer up the same songs, but sung much worse, with more screaming crowd and breathing sounds"). Electronic albums, however, seem to be the exception, as it gives the artists more room to play around with the sounds in each song. Daft Punk's Alive album is still part of the "most played" list on my iPod. Anyways, I'm super excited to steal this album off the internet (thank you, interwebs/sorry, Justice).

Wall-E

It's no secret how much I liked the movie Wall-E. It's just so damn adorable. I was in Circuit City this weekend looking for a webcam and walked past the DVD display and "Walllllllllllll Eeeeeeee" crackled out of it, and I got all excited and walked past it a couple of times. I looked crazy, per usual, but still.

Anyways, here's the whole script. It's really interesting to see how everything translated to the screen.

Chinese Shut Up

Maybe I'm too young to get all the hype, but is it wrong that I just don't give a damn about Guns N' Roses' new album, Chinese Democracy?! I mean, I know that it's been in the works since 1994, but still... can everyone can it already?!
