Review: Perhaps Whitney Cummings Should Learn What Abominable Means

You know that opening scene in that not great movie The Way of The Gun where Ryan Phillippe, doosh, has this crazy, foul-mouthed banter with this dark-haired, lady-cretin who rages and rants in a way that is incredibly awful, yet shamefully funny in its offensiveness, but then a few years later lots of people love her for it, and yes, well, many of us said, “Hey, Sarah Silverman was that sick, twisted chick from the opening scene of that movie all my stoner friends told me about. Yeah, that’s her. Wow. She’s come a long way.” Well none of that happened with this Whitney Cummings person.

The Hollywood Caller: Emmys Edition and Much More!

So a little thing called the Emmys happened on Sunday night. There were scary moments, shameful things, a little fun, and Amy Poehler setting the awesome bar way high. Also, in other parts of Hollywood, Nic Cage writhes in a coffin; shows about fathers are getting help from a famous Dogg; Hollywood should just say what they mean; Television success can be had, one channel proves it, and how do you pronounce Versace? Is it really Ver-sassseee?

2011 Primetime Emmys Liveblog

Welcome to the 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. The hilarious and irreverent Jane Lynch will do this hosting honors this evening. Let’s hope that Ian Brennan who writes lines like “So you like show tunes. It doesn’t mean you’re gay. It just means you’re awful.” for Sue Sylvester on Glee is writing for her tonight.

Who should win? Who will win? Meh. Who cares. The real issue is WHAT IS EVERYONE GOING TO BE WEARING?! So far as nominees go, major snubs include anything and everything True Blood; Lea Michele; all things Desperate Housewives, except for the woman who died season one and for whatever reason continues to narrate the show; past winner and one degree from Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgewick; and Sons of Anarchy. Here are the actual nominees, with my winner predictions (based on a combination of my own personal preferences and boring Emmy voters history) in bold. Continue reading

Nerd News Roundup: The Mulligan

Greetings, Programs. Wait, let me start again. Hoi, Chummer! No, that’s not right. Do over. Hellllooooo, Nurse! I give up. This week, there’s been a lot of talk about second chances. Sony wasn’t exactly pleased with how you handled their security breach, Universal Pictures wants to pretend The Wolfman never existed and Halo: Combat Evolved gives Master Chief’s armor a fresh coat of paint. All this and Gary gets what’s coming to him on this week’s Nerd News Roundup.

6 Shows You Shouldn’t Check Out This Fall

Last week we reviewed a few shows you should definitely give a good look-see, you know, just in case the morning water cooler is like, “Did You See 2 Broke Girls Last Night…Awesome!” And you really don’t want to be the one who says all frantically, “Oh, no. I missed it. NO SPOILERS! NO SPOILERS!” Because that guy/gal really annoys us. Seriously, just walk away or something. Anyway, here are a few TV shows you should only watch if someone is willing to pay you, or if you’re related to one of the stars, or you can’t reach the remote due to being covered with 100 pounds of dog or something like that. (They’re making Finger-Guns up there!)
