Actually, I wonder if that actually was the lead singer of the Spin Doctors on HIMYM last night. Its not like he's doing anything nowadays, right? And if people like the "O-face guy from Office Space" can get a paycheck making a cameo appearance on a sitcom, shouldn't the guy responsible for "Two Princes" and "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" be able to also?
And I don't get this Funny or Die video of Natalie Portman and Rashida Jones rolling around in bed with puppies because of the global economy crisis? Is it just, "Hey, here are some cuties with cute little puppies (as in actual young dogs, not a clever reference to their breastesses)!" Cute, yes, but funny? Not really!
Oh, and saw this post the other day about Dakota Fanning being a high school cheerleader nowadays. Not that she's playing a high school cheerleader in an upcoming movie, that she's an actual cheerleader at her high school. Weird! Well, one because she looks totally different nowadays (I guess because she's growing up). But two, she's effin famous! I mean, my high school crush was an actress and a cheerleader, and she was in a movie before high school, but it wasn't like it was a big role. Dakota's been in Academy Award nominated movies with such great actors as Sean Penn and Tom Cruise and Denzel Washington! Its like what happened to her? I'm reminded of that "Dakota Fanning Show" skit on SNL where Amy Poehler as Dakota Fanning gets all incensed that Abigail Breslin had gotten an Oscar nomination and she hadn't.
TV commentary:
I've tried getting into "My Own Worst Enemy", but its been failing to hold my interest.
OTH- Ah, so when Mouth left at the beginning of the season, I thought they were just trimming down the cast. But he's back. And his storyline is ridiculous. So after telling his station manager "F U, this job sucks, I'm taking a job in Omaha!" (On the air, no less!), and the Omaha job not being as great as he thought it would be (though still a better experience than Robin has on HIMYM, more on that later) particularly with Millie moving back to Tree Hill to help Brooke, he goes back to get his old job back. And he's ready to grovel to get it back, but before he can, they show that they're so desperate to have him back, he manages to talk them into a raise, a new office, and an intern.
But who ends up being his intern? Gigi! I always thought she was deceptively hot. But no longer is she the shy goody goody girl from high school, she's ditched the glasses, dresses like a naughty school girl, and is apparently a nympho bi-sexual who regrets not jumping him back in high school and wants to now. That's friggin retarded! I know, wouldn't I be all, "That's cool!"? It just does not make cents. And with the next preview having her all, "You're gf is hot!", he'll prolly end up having a threesome. Is there some writer that the character represents, whom the writer is living through vicariously? I mean, the character is played by Minkus from Boy Meets World! And besides the above girls, Brooke thought she would marry him in the future, and there was Shelley the re-virgin (played by the made cute Elisabeth Harnois of Point Pleasant fame) and hot Rachel (who coincidentally plays Stella's horny sister on last night's HIMYM). I would totally say that makes up for losing Topanga (given what happened to her) to Kevin Arnold's little brother. (Speaking of, I forgot to mention he was playing Nicole Richie's hubbie on last night's Chuck).
But I'll give people a break on OTH and rant under a cut. ( Its a cut! )

( HIMYM )

Damn, I was talking about pizza with Big D earlier, and now I have a hankering for it. And not that frozen stuff, or take out from Pizza Hut or Domino's or Papa John's, an actual (Read: NY style) pizza. Oh, I remember what sparked that conversation- samiches. Even though I grew up in NYC, I couldn't tell you the proper way to make this or that type of samich. Ida know, there just didn't seem to be that many delis where I lived. Well, there were more than a few. But they were far outnumbered by the number of pizzerias. So as much as I like samiches, a good NY pizza >> samich in my book.
I've never watched an entire ep of Two and a Half Men, but flipping through the channels today (since they're doing work on the campus TV system and I noticed a couple of channels sans sound so I was going through the entire lineup to see which ones had problems to tell the guys working on it currently) passed by a syndicated re-run of Two and a Half Men, and saw that hot Kandi chick from the show. spcv('Nice!') She does like nice in a bikini. But what in the world? While she also looks nice in a school girl outfit, the whole Duckie (please, he'll always be Duckie) pretending to be a naughty priest to her naughty school girl is kinda disturbing.
