hotel hell
i was talking to pascalle about this. gordon ramsay has a new show on FOX called “hotel hell,” which is a lot like “kitchen nightmares,” a personal favorite, except now he is getting mad at the hospitality industry. also, he gets fully nude in every episode. check out any one of them, because i’m not kidding. in “kitchen nightmares” he used to change out of his shirt while talking to us on camera about what’s next. a little fan service. that fan service has gotten kinda out of hand now
the next show, he’s just gonna start nude and say his goodbyes while waggling his junk at the viewing audience

schadenfreude
i’ve heard it being referred to as “schadenfreude” — the emotion a long-time fan of george r.r. martin experiences when their neophyte friend watches last night’s episode of game of thrones — but i don’t know.
schadenfreude is actually defined as “pleasure derived from the misfortune of others.” i get a charge out of seeing someone i dislike get some deserved comeuppance (imagined or otherwise), but as for last night’s episode, i feel like the pleasure comes from watching someone you like — your buddy — experience the same moment that you did in the book
it’s like you get to feel it again for the first time
anyway, i can’t promise no spoilers in the comments!!!!!
proceed with caution
the tonight shows
true detective
in all seriousness i ADORED true detective. i just saw the last episode yesterday. it brought a lot of new elements to a modern cop story, it tied up its loose ends satisfyingly, and it had zach galifianakis as a series regular.
oops that’s still tru calling starring eliza dushku.

on twitter i asked:
at what point does a tv show actually provide more entertainment value as a fan activity to save it than it does as a show?

28 Plays Later – Episode 49 – The One About Tom Clancy’s The Division
New York City has been ravaged by a deadly strain of influenza spread via cold hard cash. Now it’s up to Paul and Kris to restore order in a city laid low by the Dollar Flu, in the excellent Tom Clancy’s The Division. We discuss what we love about the game — and veer into a related discussion of being fortunate enough to enjoy something that feels too real, too possible, and politically charged.
Plus, a joke about skateboarding on someone’s dick. All the dizzying intellectual highs and lows you’ve come to expect from 28 Plays Later!

indiana jones 5
guess who’s swinging back into action!! it’s indiana and jones. disney says they will make a fifth movie.
the fifth installment deals with the pants indy was wearing when he and marion were tied to the pole, when the ark of the covenant was opened. indy was very scared and peeped and pooped his pants, but kept this a secret from marion.
the pants were lost in the desert somewhere… but belloq’s men recovered them, and they intend to show the world that indiana jones is a poo-poo scaredy man who makes pee-pees from his wee-wee.
this will be dr. jones’ greatest adventure of all time.

Saw It For You: Sausage Party (2016)
Sausage Party (2016)
Synopsis. Hot dogs look like penises, and buns sort of look like vaginas.
Tagline. You never sausage a party! F-word!
Trivia
- The movie was greenlighted after the president of Sony Pictures mistakenly believed he was giving “a husky intern my lunch order.”
- Many reported that actor and co-writer Seth Rogen was difficult to work with, citing his concern that no one would understand the subtleties of hot dogs and sausages looking like penises, and the vertical opening of hot dog buns looking like vaginas.
- Rogen believed that the hot dogs should have had “ketchup and mustard testicles,” even though this is not how the traditional condiments appear on hot dogs. Rogen explained that it would help “clarify” the penis-shaped nature of the sausages, and better contextualize the jokes for the audience.
- Discarded early titles: Seth Rogen’s Are Those Penises or Sausages?, Put Your Wiener In My Bun, The Penises Can Talk But They’re Hot Dogs, The Talking Store Of Horny Food
- The original pitch for Sausage Party was “what if food could…” followed by falling asleep.
Mistakes
- Continuity. There is no continuity in this movie.
- During the food party scene, a can of refried beans is mistakenly not wearing a sombrero, a poncho, a thin mustache, a sleepy expression, nor does it mention wanting to take “a long siesta, señor, because mi es uno mucho lazy Mexicano.” (Producers have stated this will be fixed for the DVD release.)
- There is lip-sync only during the first three minutes of the movie, after which the characters’ faces default to the blank expressions on the rigs.
- A number of inserts, reaction shots, establishing shots, dialogue, and ideas are from Foodfight! (2012). No lawsuits have been filed as no party is willing to claim ownership of Foodfight!.
- Incorrectly regarded as error. When the Palestinian food murders the Jewish food, it is wielding a Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifle, despite the prevalence of modified Chinese Type 56 rifles on the Gaza Strip. However, it is unknown which make of automatic weapon foods would prefer — thus, we can chalk the discrepancy up to comic whimsy.
- Over 200 hours of Sir Laurence Olivier’s voice was digitally remastered and painstakingly edited together to provide the dialogue for Fart Pizza.
- Belief in Seth Rogen.
Memorable Quotes
Hot Dog Man. I got a hard sausage today. This is hard meat, fully long and a big wiener. That’s what I am.
Vagona. I wish I could have a hard man’s meat inside of my slit, that’s of my bun. Fresh baked.
Hot Dog Man. I could go for a fresh baked. Baked like from weed. I want to get baked and blazed. Really toke up on the kind bud, smokin’ baked blunts.
Vagona. Then you could be a hard wiener.
Hot Dog Man. Ha ha, I forgot, that’s good — I’m blood sausage. So I’m full of blood. Ha ha.Black Hot Dog. Man, y’all be trippin’, hip hop. Fuck.
Chinese Hot Dog. I want sweet and sour mustard, honorable sushi. Shit. Condom.
Hot Dog Man. Whoa, this talking food is irreverent!Post-credits text crawl. Hello everyone, this is Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the writers of Sausage Party. We wanted to offer a heartfelt “thank you” to everyone who helped make our little movie become a reality. We were just reflecting on what a fragile thing an idea is, and how without the proper attention and guidance, so many ideas that have the potential to change the world never get to see the light of day. The list of names you just saw are all people who have our deepest gratitude. Many hundreds of professionals shepherded our tiny seed of a screenplay into full bloom, and we couldn’t be more thankful for their efforts, their time, and their love.
We look forward to bringing you many more adventures of Sausage Party in the years — and decades — to come. Thank you to everyone, especially the viewing audience. The men and women behind the cameras that made our dreams come true… but it’s each of you out there who allowed our dreams to take flight.
good one, internet
ha ha, imagine some oceanographer loser at the national environment research council having to board the s.s. boaty mcboatface! imagine her having to tell all her associates that that’s the name of the boat
imagine the ship taking on water in rough seas, and the captain knows he’s made a mistake, and he has to radio for help — “mayday, s.o.s., this is s.s. boaty mcboatface, need immediate assistance” — lololol
ah man. the thing where you take a word, and you put a Y on the end, and then “mc[word]face” or “mc[word]ington” on there like a last name. brilliant
