Funny Shtuff and People Without Brains

We watched Ghost Town last weekend. Ricky Gervais is so goddamn funny. The scenes with he and Kristen Wiig talking is one of the greatest comedy moments of the 21st Century. (Yes, the century is still young, but I predict the future will be reality shows and Will Ferrell movies. Yup, it looks mighty bleak and humorless.) The outtakes are good too, because Ricky is always giggling like a schoolgirl.

If you haven't been watching Better off Ted, what the hell is wrong with you? We've also been waiting for Parks & Recreation to begin. It has potential, but it could also suck and just not work. It premiers this Thursday between 2 new episodes of The Office. Two?!?? Um, how about you save one for next week, NBC. That way the season will last 1 week longer, and we need to extend today's seasons by as much as possible because networks suck.

And what's the deal with TV Land lately? Goddamn they're pissing me off. We all know how shows have opening credits and ending credits. Well, now TV land is spitting the end credits out in their own high–speed, tiny format in the bottom–left corner while the show is still running. The closing version of The Beverly Hillbillies theme is just as much a part of the show as the opening theme. Never again will we hear "y'all come back now, ya hear" or Ellie May saying "this has been a Filmways presentation!" Goddamn fuckers. And do you think they're extending the classic TV shows by running extra segments that have been cut out since they switched from 25 minutes of running time to 22? I highly doubt it. They're probably filling the time by showing more promos for their stupid goddamn High School Reunion reality piece of shit. Or their new stupid goddamn reality piece of shit, The Cougar. Jesus. Everybody do me a favor and go there and complain.

Also go to IMDb and complain that it takes 4 tabs to activate the search field. What the fuck kind of idiot would build a web page like that, where searching is the primary objective? I've complained twice already. No love. It also takes a near genius to find that contact form.

We have been watching Better Off Ted and like it too. I don't know why.. I never really laugh at it, but it is quirky and I love when the one formerly frozen geek makes that screaming noise.

I was wondering why you were watching an odd movie about high school girls.

Then I realized there's a difference between Ghost Town and GhostWorld. Go figure.
