I don’t understand this picture. It looks like her head is Photoshopped on.

The full cast of I Love Money on VH1 has been revealed and IT IS GOING TO BE AWESOME OMFG!!!!11!!1. There are a few clunkers (Hoops? Really?) and I sort of hoped I’d never have to see Pumkin again, but it’s worth it just thinking about what any of these idiots would do with $250K. I imagine a lot of Valtrex and tacky jewelry. Anyway, Rock of Love legend Heather is in it, and she recently mentioned she had a romance during the show. Please, universe, let it be The Entertainer.

Also, save yourself the “I have no idea who any of these people are” comments. We already know how cool you are and how you don’t watch television except for PBS. Congratulations!

This afternoon we caught a matinee of Iron Man. Oh my gah, it was so good. Jon Favreau did a stellar job, and Robert Downey Jr. is the motherflipping HOTNESS, you have no idea. And Fishsticks didn’t even annoy me. Go see it. Try to spot Peter “Ralphie” Billingsley in a cameo. And stick around for the credits.

Discuss in the comments - obviously SPOILERS abound.

I want to give some props to our friend Sara, who has started a film series in her (and the geekboy’s) hometown of Lambertville, NJ. You can see a free movie every Saturday night, and in the summer it moves to an outdoor venue. May’s schedule looks particularly fun — check it out here. If you’re local, sign up for the mailing list.

And donations are always welcome.

God bless America.

Here’s a video of the cast and crew of Reaper lip-syncing to Public Enemy’s “Can’t Truss It.” Totally random and totally awesome. Read the rest of this entry »

OMG this news makes me so happy! I just told somebody the other day that I couldn’t wait for Amy Poehler to get pregnant. I have no idea why. I can’t wait to see her do Amber preggers. JELLUS?

Awwww!

Please, jebus, let this be true.

On Saturday I had a conversation with Charlie and the geekboy about my love for Wes Anderson, spurred on by re-watching The Darjeeling Limited last week, and repeated viewings of The Royal Tenenbaums on cable over the past month. About his visuals and his music and how his films are just so saturated with beauty. How sometimes a single scene can squeeze your heart until you almost can’t breathe (Richie Tenenbaum’s shaving scene, the funeral in Darjeeling). Searching around on YouTube, I found these.

So, the NYC Comic-Con was pretty fun. It had its problems (Saturday’s panels were ridiculously crowded and woefully unorganized) but we did enjoy ourselves and saw a lot of stuff and bought a lot of crap and all that. We grabbed some extra swag and once I get everything organized, I’ll be giving it away here on freakgirl.com. The geekboy’s recap is here.

A few photos after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Seriously. Actually…I can see it.

Guess where we’re going tomorrow and Saturday? We have press passes this year, which makes navigating the clusterf*ck a lot easier. I’ll be bringing my camera and I’m hoping to have a lot of good stories for you on Monday. Anyone else going?

It’s my second-favorite geek’s birthday! Read the rest of this entry »

A re-imagining of the opening credits for Lost, if it were like any other television show. [via]
