257294, That Helen Hunt Queen of Hollywood phase had us all baffled.
Posted by stylez dainty, Thu Feb-22-07 06:38 PM
I think even she was confused.
257300, WHITE!
Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Feb-22-07 06:54 PM
Actually, I agree with all of the above except for Sarah Silverman and Seth Rogen, both of whom I find funny, ESPECIALLY the latter.
257318, seth rogen was fine until i saw that new trailer...i can't take it

I honestly don't wanna hear an arch remark about how I shouldn't like Kung Fu Hustle.

Little Miss Sunshine benefits from the fact that there were almost no legitimately funny comedies last year.
272066, I agree with just about all of this

257328, He annoys me, but I understand the appeal of Zach Braff
Posted by Marauder21, Thu Feb-22-07 08:32 PM
Go watch Garden State with a roomful of white 19-23 year old girls and you'll see why he's popular.

Again, he's annoying, but I see where the money's coming from.

...call me sexist, but i don't wanna see abuncha dudes act like fools over some woman...but women actin like fools over Flav?? i'm THERE.

...unless it's some black folks, i never care about who won an actin Oscar for the past 20 years or more...it's not like the winners go on to do do great performances after or even before winnin in most cases...usually they stay "kinda" popular, but the work they do after winnin is rarely awe inspiring or anything...

....i thought about buyin a book, but i realized i don't give enough of a fuck to really read that shit...i'll check the movies tho, but i can't say i understand makin a big deal of popular kids books....
257384, Fuck the Qscars, they're overrated anyway.

Posted by johnny_domino, Fri Feb-23-07 06:49 PM
It's sad, 'cause now there's like that one undeniable anthem every year that I still like (one year it was still tippin, the next stay fly/tell me when to go, last year....we fly high, I guess?), but other than that it's just steadily diminishing returns.

The Oscars.......Boring, way too damn long, but everyone acts like there won't be another boring way too damn long show the next damn year.

Top 40 R&B/Rap.....my age is showing, because I don't get half these fools. The other half have no talent.

Marvel Comics

Freakin' Year(s) long comic "events"

"Hot" comic artists

---The above three combine to create a perfect storm of late-ass comics, trite excuses and non-statements from shitty editors and overpriced hype-events.

Sonically & visually unappealing to me, but I never could get past that initial distaste.

I liked watered-down versions in Voltron and Robotech, but modern stuff - meh.

Actually, do Voltron and Robotech count as anime?

When "Kill Bill" came out, people were falling all over themselves to see it.



I like Martial Arts films made by Asians, not by Lame ass White Dudes, who masturbate to 70's independent cinema.



I'll bet you guys a MILLION bucks, he's gonna try to make a Blaxploitation film at some point. That's when the REST of the world will FINALLY realize what a racist asshole he is.
