#THANKYOUJEFF

Well, guys, it's here.
Well, it's been here since Tuesday but still.
The long lost "Rude Removal" episode from Dexter's Laboratory is on the net.
Want to know more?
I know you do.
After the pic and the jump, I'll let you know some more.

And we're back.

Greetings, folks! It's been a while (over a year to be exact) but now we're back. Actually, I'm back. I don't know about the other writer. She might be dead or too busy listening to Lana Del Rey or watching some Wes Anderson film. Don't know, don't care. All that needs to be said is that I'm back. Last time I was on was to promote a little, wonderful film called "Drive". Twas good. However, that was all the way back in OCTOBER. Anyways, I feel like shit for not, you know, keeping up with the currents and whatnot. I promise to be extra good to you kids.

Until then, here's a picture of something I'll get out of my download file.

Wait for it.

GUILAR, OUT.

'Drive' - Our Generation's 'Pulp Fiction'

Okay, don't get mad at me. Many people will get straight up mad just hearing any film getting compared to Tarantino's masterpiece. I'll get to this comparison in a few. It's been three weeks this week since I first saw Nicolas Winding Refn's film; I also saw it again last week. Both times, I've been meaning to write a review about this film. I asked myself how I would go in on writing a review for this film? Do I rate it? Do I just talk about it? What do I do? Fuck it, I'll just try to talk you through this little piece of pulp masterpiece.

New Girl breaks out old tricks

One episode down, and New Girl is already playing old tricks.

Zooey Deschanel’s new sitcom on Fox has her portraying a loveably dorky girl complete with bangs and oversize eyeglasses. After only a few minutes of screen time, you may be wondering why this sweet, silly girl seems so darn familiar. It’s because we’ve met before, in every role Miss Deschanel has ever assumed. Of course, each character had their own variations and individual quirks—Summer in 500 Days of Summer liked Ringo Starr! Kat in Weeds was wanted for arson!—the concept remains the same: offbeat babe with a vintage bike.

Now before I continue, I’d like to clarify that I’m not lamenting this character archetype. It may have turned into a bit of a shtick, but it’s a shtick that suits Deschanel, and I like it. I eat that shit up every time. I’ve suffered through countless shitty romantic comedies just to see Deschanel do her Manic Pixie Dream Girl routine, and I’ve enjoyed it every time, without shame. Okay- with a minimal amount of shame.

The rest of the cast includes two immigrants from ABC’s sweet and underrated Happy Endings: Damon Wayans, Jr. and Max Greenfield, both tremendously funny men who seem to have a contractual obligation to remove their shirts onscreen as much as possible. Mary Elizabeth Ellis also makes an appearance, known to viewers of FX’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia as The Waitress, playing the ex-girlfriend of Jake Johnson’s character. It’s nice to see her on network TV again after the cancellation of her short lived NBC sitcom Perfect Couples.

This is not the episode to judge the series by. It was messy to say the least, and the dialogue was rather stilted. However, as far as pilots go, it was relatively painfree. Pilots are hard. Just ask Tina Fey.

My final call would be to give it half a season or so, and the quality should improve. It definitely has the potential. All of the ingredient of a hit show are in place: a funny cast, a prime time TV spot, and writers who appeared to have graduated high school. If all else fails, they’ve still got Zooey D, because when push comes to cancellations, cute and quirky saves the day, every time.

Album Download of the Weekend #2

With the current on-goings in the U.K., one album really came to mind this weekend, "The Clash" by The Clash. This weekend, I bring you this album after the video and after the jump.


(P.S.: Sorry if this offends anyone)

Accio tissues

It's Sunday. Or Monday, possibly Tuesday. It's either early morning or twilight, it's hard to tell. I hope that you'll forgive me for my isolated manner and scattered mind. I'm suffering from an acute case of Post-Potter Depression.
