The 2000s in Popular Entertainment

We are quickly coming to the end of this abhorrent little decade known occasionally as “the two-thousands” or “the naughties.” As such, I thought I would throw together a series of articles discussing the best and worst of 2000-2009. This week, I bring you the decade in Popular Entertainment, excluding games, which I will cover in their own article. Please note: I have said Popular Entertainment, which means that I realize Harry Potter is not the actual best book of the decade.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Collaborative Review

Theatre Experience

Newbs: We started out at the arcade. I found House of the Dead 4 to be quite greedy with my quarters.

Katte: Newbs died by the time I acquired my tokens.

Newbs: I had been to this theatre before, and so I knew they sold pickles. But then, when I tried to purchase one, I was informed they no longer carried them.

Katte: There was an old guy behind us who became very distraught when Newbs exclaimed “they don’t have any pickles?!”

Newbs: I felt like one half of a duo of bitter old men, like those two guys in the Muppets.

The Best Bond Song

The best Bond? Connery, easy. Craig after that. Everybody knows this (although some, for reasons I cannot fathom, play the Devil’s Advocate and claim some other Bond for this title) but what not as many people think about is the music behind the man on top of the woman. The Best Bond song? Hoo-boy. There’s a lot of stinkers there, for sure, but tucked away between those awful melodies? Pure genius. Mozart wishes he had done the music for some of Bond’s movies– and, having listened repeatedly to Duran Duran’s “A View to Kill,” I wish he had had a chance.

Interview With Charlyne Yi

Today I’m interviewing Charlyne Yi, who you might remember as the stoner Jodi in Knocked Up.

Wikipedia tells me that you’re a quintuple-talented performance artist, musician, writer, painter, and actress. Is your talent limitless?

Does this answer your question.

Charlyne, you seem to have managed to make a very good life out of pursuing your own creative interests and not succumbing to The Man. I’d love to do the same, advice?

I suppose I’ve learned the hard way, I have been in situations where I wasn’t happy with the material I was working on. But I’ve realized in partaking in these sort of creative jobs and doing something you don’t believe in — it’ll pay a toll on my soul. And there’s nothing worth hurting that. Life is too short to compromise your soul.

Gilmore girls: An Insight Into the Female Mind

Gilmore girls is an incredibly realistic show. Sure, they talk faster and eat more than is physically possible, and the town of Stars Hollow is an impossible mix of entertaining characters, but Rory and Lorelai Gilmore make perhaps the only realistic choices in mate selection of all females in all of entertainment. Before I continue, I should point out that I have seen only seasons one through five, and while I’m sure season six exhibits much of the same infuriating reality, I cannot comment on it at this time.


Rory, destroyer of men.

Braveheart the Manly

Today I was flipping channels and came across that very well known film “Braveheart.” I had never seen the movie before, or most of it anyways, as I had gotten bored during the main character’s (William Wallace’s) love affair with that random farm girl. Luckily I came in on the movie about the time where I left off before. I guess I can understand how people so widely regard this film as “great,” it’s long, epic, filled with action and grandeur. None of this prevented me from seething with rage and hatred during the entire movie, of course.


Well of course the main character bangs her, she’s hot, isn’t she?

Lyrical Analysis: The Pussycat Dolls

People confuse me; their behaviours overwhelm my comprehension every moment of every day. This is all particularly true for women. One of the premier ways of trying to comprehend people is by listening to what they say and then trying to analyze it for some shred of meaning. By analyzing the lyrics of the all female pop group “The Pussycat Dolls,” I hope to gain greater comprehension of these women, all women, and really all of humanity.


With a pose like that, how couldn’t they make sense?

Interview with Micah Kanters

Today I would like to welcome our most honored guest, Micah Kanters. For those of you not in the know, that would, in fact, be THE Zoom Zoom kid from the Mazda commercials. None other than the leader of the revolution himself. Let’s get this interview going.

I will admit, Mr. Kanters, I was initially unsure if I could believe it was really you. This site was what convinced me. It would seem you have a sister! Care to comment on the horror that is having a sibling?

Well imagine having someone who knew everything about you, and wouldn’t hesitate to tell your most embarassing moments to people. Only then can you understand my pain. However, just between you and me that perticular problem will soon be taken care of (evil laugh).

So You Want to Make a Movie


Probably looking for a job.

Well I can’t blame you, seems rather glamorous doesn’t it? Seems pretty profitable eh? Here it is then, your complete guide to making a MAJOR BIG HOLLYWOOD and did I mention FABULOUS SPECTACULAR SPECTACULAR!

Begin with hiring a washed up comedian for your leading role. Don’t worry about having a script or any of that other useless “planning” stuff. I would estimate a good 99% of your theatrical profits come from having a recognizable face in your movie, so you’re pretty much already guaranteed rich.

The filming process should begin on location in wherever the hell you feel like traveling to. A movie’s budget can be as fucking huge as it wants to be, all the money will be made back the first day of its theatrical release. This amazing location is where your washed up comedian should enter. Maybe he’s a veteran explorer or treasure hunter. He’s found an ancient tribes most treasured artifact and is now on a mad dash back to the good ol’ U.S. of A. where grave robbing is looked upon as a noble sport. This five minutes of footage should cost a good seventy million dollars to produce.

Once you’ve got that shot, you can come back to a sound stage and film all of the family drama that films require. Maybe your main characters grave robbing upsets his incredibly hot but troubled vegan fourteen year old daughter. Be sure to include a heartwarming scene where the father has a “heart to heart” with his daughter where he explains how important the desecration of foreign shrines is. After-all, one of them is bound to house the ultimate weapon needed to defeat the approaching alien horde headed for earth! Juxtapose a serious scene like this with some wackay-komeday like your main character’s ten year old son slipping on vomit and splitting his skull open. At some point your main character should also cheat on his wife with the hottest pop singer you can hire. Try to create a scenario where they almost get caught by his wife, this will be a great opportunity to implement your obligatory use of the song “Under Pressure.”

There and Back Again

Near the end of every year people all over the planet gather together to celebrate some guy’s birthday. In my part of the world, we gather together near the end of the year to celebrate the release of the newest Lord of the Rings movie. Sadly, this will be the last year we do, as this year the final installment of the trilogy, Return of the King, has been released. Here follows the account of the drunkening, watching Return of the King and the finding of the cock ring of power.

The Fellowship of the Beer

To kick the whole event off Weskimo, DMUSER and myself decided we should all get drunk and stay up the whole night performing the nerdiest of activities.

When we arrived at Weskimo’s house we were greeted with the old chap already pumped about the homo-erotic activities he expected would soon commence.
