| Camp Week: 9 Summer Camp Movies for Every Genre Posted: 23 Aug 2011 11:04 AM PDT
Did you know that basically every genre — horror, musical, dark comedy, let’s-switch-identities — has a camping movie? Turns out camp is a memory all screenwriters want to relive… or murder the counselors they may have hated when they were kids. We can’t really say, but here are nine movies to curl up with when you want to relive the fun and anxiety of first love, swimming lessons, and the big talent show.

| Weeds S7E9 Recap: “Thanks For Last Night” Posted: 23 Aug 2011 10:18 AM PDT
This episode finally saw Nancy get out from under the fascist boots of both the law and Zoya, only to land back in the kind of hot water with which she’s familiar: hot water that is full of rival drug dealers. This episode was all about subverting our expectations. Smart Shane did something stupid, competent Silas did something incompetent, and Doug Wilson actually did something helpful! Shane For reasons that are Freudian and gross, Shane wants to be the son Nancy relies on to run her drug empire. He thinks he can outsmart his crooked cop friend by printing out info on Pouncy House Party Rentals while “upgrading” a dim cop’s computer, but he cannot, and now he must arrest himself. I guess Nancy couldn’t keep him out of jail, after all. Andy The scene where he taunts Zoya about the dog hotel she wants to open with Nancy is classic Uncle Andy. “Cats! Cats! Cats!” he yells, as she hurls his own things at him. I’m almost kind of sad that this is never going to happen, because I would very much like to see what a luxurious Vermont dog hotel run by two ex-con arsonist lesbians might look like. Nancy After a night of passion with Clive, she takes pity on him and tells him the SEC is onto his shady dealings. Aaaw, I knew she liked him. Enraptured by her magic vagina, he asks her to run away with him, but she has a whole lot more fucking up of her sons’ lives to do, so she can’t. However, she will take his townhouse, thanks. The ingenious way she burns it down as a means of getting Zoya to flee makes up for her unfortunate stumbles last week. “I’m thinking of us. Of the weimeraners,” might be the best display of fake emotion ever to be uttered on television. Also: holy shit, Doug Wilson. Way to use the fund’s corporate power to get both it and Nancy off the SEC hook in the most vulgar way possible. Even Nancy blushed a little from that Tourettes-like stream of filth. Will Clive come back once he finds out the company is okay? Silas Silas might be the manager of a major drug operation, but he still has one major Achilles heel, and that heel is in his dick. Silly model, don’t you know never to trust a character played by Michelle Trachtenburg? In a move totally befitting a fratty college kid, she literally turns the bike shop upside down before making off with Silas’ dignity and client database. Basically, don’t tangle with Columbia girls because we are amoral, drug dealing sociopaths who will sex you to find out where you keep your drug computer and then glue all your chairs to your ceiling just to see you cry. This was truly a boner move on Silas’ part (womp womp), but I still feel kind of bad for him, because he seemed to like her. Look at how happy he was when he woke up that morning on the sex balcony:
As it turns out, her “thanks for last night” note was actually referring to the fact that Silas told her all his drug secrets, although I’m sure his penis was wonderful as well. Amazing Quote Of The Week: Andy (to Nancy): “In prison, were you like, hey, I’m an arsonist, you’re an arsonist, let’s get together and be lesbians?” Sounds like someone’s a wee bit jealous. I’m also glad someone finally commented on how creepy it is that Silas named his weed strain–which he sells with his mother–”MILF Weed,” as in “Mother I’d Like to Fuck.” THANK YOU, GEORGINA.

| The Daily WTF: This Is the World’s Most Antisocial Dinner Table Posted: 23 Aug 2011 10:05 AM PDT
Are you forced to share a home with your significant other? Do you have an intense hatred of their stupid, dumb face? Then this parabola-shaped dining room table is a must-purchase. Designed by Michael Beitz – a man we assume struggles with agoraphobic and homicidal impulses — your new table will making dining a real challenge. But hey, if you guys can’t eat, then you guys can’t fight over whose turn it is to do the dishes. There. We fixed your relationship. (via Beautiful/Decay) Post from: Crushable |
| It’s Adorable How Excited OK Go Is About Their Muppet Theme Song Music Video Posted: 23 Aug 2011 10:03 AM PDT Last week we posted the rough cut of OK Go‘s Muppet Show cover — now, here’s the official music video. It’s really smart, with throwbacks to the Muppets’ physical gags as well as the treadmill moves for “Here It Goes Again” that made the band famous. But easily the best part of the video is seeing how utterly thrilled lead guitarist Damian Kulash and the others were about their chance to rub elbows with these famous puppets. It’s clear that these guys are meeting their childhood icons, from banjo-strumming Kermit to Miss Piggy doing her best opera-singer impression to that weird Muppet who looks like a crayfish. The video is clever in moments like when we see cranky old guys Statler and Waldorf abandon their usual theater balcony to watch the video online — and then choose cat videos instead. (Hey, we really love cats, too.) Even if you’re not a huge Muppets fan, just get to the part about halfway through where they all sing “most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational” — you can see in their faces how jazzed they are, which makes it so much more fun.

| Camp Week: Is This the Most Uncomfortable Camping Sketch Ever Made? Posted: 23 Aug 2011 10:16 AM PDT Contrary to what the Jack and Jill trailer would have you believe, I remember a time when Adam Sandler at least tried to create funny characters. Then again, which campers here remember SNL‘s “Canteen Boy,” the nature-fanatic assistant scoutmaster who displayed acute characteristics of Asperger’s syndrome? To refresh your memory, most Canteen Boy sketches revolved around Sandler’s character being teased by fellow scouts for being a slow idiot. Yikes, SNL. But if the excuse-y disclaimer at the beginning is any indication, the Canteen Boy world ratcheted up the inappropriate meter to a whole new level in Alec Baldwin's episode. This sketch is a party favor bag stuffed to the brim with uncomfortable, then packed with love by NAMBLA. Throw in the isolation of camping – and you've got yourself a discomfort fiesta! So, is child molestation funny? The first few minutes of this sketch are virtually jokeless, a different kind of uncomfortable – like being the sole audience member at a bad open-mic night. Things really only pick up when Alec Baldwin's scoutmaster starts laying it on thick for Canteen Boy — and by laying it on thick, I mean sucking on Canteen Boy's fingers and sticking his erection God knows where. In the real world, hetero or homo, this would qualify as normal foreplay were it between two consenting Okay fine, they reassured us the character is actually a 27-year-old man, but when Baldwin moans “Canteen Boy” over and over, you have to question what kind of picture the SNL writers were actually trying to paint? Either they want us to think we're watching a scoutmaster seduce a child, or we're watching a scoutmaster seduce a mentally handicapped man. Or maybe SNL was taking a political stance against pedophilia in the Boy Scouts. Right? Right? Throw me a bone here, guys. Wait, no, no bones. If this sketch had been written more recently, Canteen Boy might have been "Altar Boy," Naturally, when this sketch aired it pissed a lot of people off, and SNL doesn't exactly hold a good track record when it comes to homophobic humor. Yet it was still included on the “Best of Adam Post from: Crushable |
| Bret Easton Ellis Uncharacteristically Nice About Glee Posted: 23 Aug 2011 08:50 AM PDT
The author of American Psycho, Less Than Zero and some rather obscure volumes of The Babysitters Club is not generally a warm and fuzzy person. He wields his Twitter account like Patrick Bateman might wield a steak knife, taking concise little stabs at everything that’s wrong with American culture. Not too long ago, he aimed his knife at Fox’s camp-fest Glee, stating:
In an amusing twist of fate, Glee‘s Darren Criss is now slated to act in Downers Grove, a film Ellis is adapting for the screen. Lest people give him shit about his decision to work with someone who is dripping with HIV, Ellis tweeted this on Sunday:

| Hot Shot: Taylor Kitsch’s Newish Haircut at the Disney 23 Expo Posted: 23 Aug 2011 08:42 AM PDT
Really, we’ll take Taylor Kitsch any way, but we have to admit that short hair is a good look for him. In terms of his acting career, we’ve always known him by two things: Friday Night Lights and shaggy hair. But now he’s taking on more action roles, including Disney’s John Carter of Mars (your last chance to see the long hair!) and the bizarre-looking alien-invasion movie Battleship with Alexander Skarsgård and Rihanna.

This was not nice, and people told him so, to which he tweeted “Okay, okay, I get it, I get it. I’ll stop riffing on H.I.Glee and tweet about how boring the collected stories of William Trevor are. Happy?” THEY WERE NOT.
Do you believe him? I’m not sure I do, but maybe he means it. Still: their first meeting might be a bit awkward, no?
