Ehhh, disappointed. Way too much filler with unfunny skits that I didn't care about and Doug skipped into hysteria far too quickly. He did a much better job on Wicker Man. A comparatively more insane film where he built up to his unhinged bits a lot better. And much better incorporation of his actor friends. Until the end, which went on too long.


Meanwhile, Phelous & Lupa do a crossover (with Cinema Snob cameo bites) that's actually freaking hilarious for once. Until the incredibly bad (and bordering on severely homophobic) fart joke at the end. But, because - like with most of my life - I desperately want to hold my sanity together (instead of always having to realize how painfully pervasive homophobia is in society, that people I admire can be guilty of it and not notice it), I'll try as best I can to care less and still count this video as a recommendation (since before that last minute, it's still one of the funniest new videos from anyone on my follows list that I've seen in months). Birdemic 2:

Oh yeah, and it's padded as hell with repetitious, ultra-obnoxious meme type jokes. To the point where things get downright surreal... which made me laugh even harder.

Todd returns to Katy Perry/

[Peanutbutter]

I have an interesting relationship with Katy Perry myself. I didn't like her first songs, then I ended up enjoying Last Friday Night and Firework, but I have fallen out of her again because her recent stuff is just boring or annoying.

I don't get it- those songs are easily her blandest work, other than "Roar."

[talonmalon333]

I actually kind of like Firework. It's an incredibly simple song, though. I think one of Katy Perry's biggest problems is that it seems like she writes the same song over and over.

And yeah, I'm not a fan of Roar, either. Doesn't help that they overplayed it on the radio, too.

[Avaitor]

If I have to pick two Katy Perry songs to stand, I'd have to go with "Teenage Dream" and "The One That Got Away". They're both sincere-sounding songs that don't reek of corporate too much, with the former in particular having strong production.

[Commode]

I like Hot n Cold, that's really it.

And I don't see how Roar is anymore played than Firework was a couple years ago.

Doug posted this obituary on his FB. She was the Harley Quinn cosplayer from his Casper review.

RIP

And I don't see how Roar is anymore played than Firework was a couple years ago.

Maybe that's just it for me. Roar is currently overplayed more.

Katy Perry is better the fruitier she is. And I believe she was holding a watermelon on the "Hot N Cold" cover, so, 'nuff said. In general, I'm inclined to give her points for "Dark Horse" rather than take them away. That said, I haven't sat through the music video in full. Yet.


Anyway, a new Chick ep:

http://blip.tv/nostalgia-chick/nostalgia-chick-volcano-movies-dante-s-peak-vs-volcano-6733831

I was very worried at the start of the video (and more than a little "c'mon: more disaster movies?", this is literally the 5th video she's done on them not including vlogs) but, it quickly won me over. This is the best material she's put out since the first Addams Family movie review. I hesitate to say she's finally back but... she's definitely getting there.

[Avaitor]

Oh dang, I keep on forgetting new Chick!

But Todd has another One Hit Wonder here. I actually have had this song in my head for a while, so it's a good call for a video.

[No-Personality]

And one of the first times he resoundingly answered "yes" after "Did They Deserve Better?" Good ep, good cameo.

Lupa has another Baywatch ep... not her best work, but still worth checking out:

Finally got my Vegas in Space review... don't know what else I could ask for:

But the crown jewel of recent videos, Kyle on The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, & Her Lover:

^ Watch that one!

[Avaitor]

Imma watch the latter two after I'm done with this ep of NewsRadio.

And one of the first times he resoundingly answered "yes" after "Did They Deserve Better?" Good ep, good cameo.

Well, not really THE first- he said the same for a-Ha, his very first OHW.

[No-Personality]

I said "one of."   

[Avaitor]

Ha, true. Fair enough.

Those were good Hagan and Oanicitizen reviews, btw. I like how less "classy" Kyle's food choices become as the video goes along.
