| Is ‘Doug’ the Original Hipster? Posted: 02 Jul 2011 09:55 AM PDT
And, perhaps most importantly:
Of course, one might argue that Doug’s sister Judy is actually the hipster of the show; generally, though, she’s more of a beatnik, which sort of makes sense since she’s the older generation and whatnot (she’s the proto-movement, if you will). However, I still think Doug stands a pretty good chance of being elected President of Original Hipsterdom. What do you think, readers? Is Doug the original hipster?

| Interview: ‘Terri’ Director Azazel Jacobs and Creed Bratton on What It Means to Be an Outcast Today Posted: 01 Jul 2011 03:05 PM PDT
Both Bratton and Creed agreed that it’s unlikely that a single movie could shift the terrible trend of bullying that seems to be especially prevalent with the current generation of high-schoolers, but Terri is down-to-earth enough that it can at least be relatable. “I don’t know if movies can change the thought process,” Bratton said, “but you would hope that some kids, especially the bullies, would be able to watch this movie, and realize a movie like Terri can change their perspective.” The people Jacobs really wants to affect are the educators, like Reilly’s character. “I’d like teachers to realize the value, that can’t be measured in grades, of teachers that have their own particular way of making huge changes on individual bases.” Those changes sometimes have to appear in unorthodox ways, Bratton noted: “Fitzgerald comes in with this amazing lie that opens the door to a conversation, but it’s his way of finding the mode of communication.” Jacobs added, “What I love that John does is, he plays somebody who can’t act well. He portrays Fitzgerald, who is not a good actor. That takes some talent.” This movie is stacked with impressive performances, with one of the most stunning being Bratton’s. Known for playing the kooky, possibly dangerous Creed on NBC’s The Office, he played that same befuddlement in a very serious direction. Uncle James is virtually an invalid due to a disease that’s never made clear, but it incapacitates him and leaves it to Terri to keep him from wandering into the street or burning himself at the stove. Bratton’s inspiration was pretty surprising. When asked, he confessed that at first he was also in the dark about his character’s problem: “I asked Az about it, and he said it’s an unspecified form of dementia. He said, ‘Just find something.’ I had two mothers-in-law who had Alzheimer’s, and I went from that. I was scared of it getting too real, but Az was there to say, ‘You’re halfway in to lucidity.’ I’d ask him, ‘Where am I?’ and he told me where I was.” It’s these moments of gravity that make the stakes of such a bullying narrative incredibly clear. “When I read the first draft of the script, I felt incredibly close to Terri, and I didn’t have a reason why. [In high school] I was somebody who tried to be an outcast; that symbolism was something I desired. That’s not Terri’s issue. Put him in anything, and he’d still be an outcast. This world was not built for him.” Related posts: Post from: Crushable Interview: ‘Terri’ Director Azazel Jacobs and Creed Bratton on What It Means to Be an Outcast Today  |
| Fan Fiction: ‘Monte Carlo’ from the POV of Leighton Meester’s Character in ‘The Roommate’ Posted: 01 Jul 2011 01:46 PM PDT Leighton Meester‘s role in Monte Carlo is, honestly, beneath the comedic talent we’ve come to expect from the Gossip Girl star. She takes a backseat to Selena Gomez — who should be lower on the Hollywood starlet food chain — as Meg, the typical repressed, stern older sister who needs to loosen up. That’s why this version of Monte Carlo, where Meester’s psycho coed from The Roommate vacations with Selena and Katie Cassidy, is so much better.

Considering what a huge boon the William and Kate wedding was for the British economy, it’s no wonder that stores in Monaco are trying to capitalize on this weekend’s Prince Albert and Christine Wittstock 
I have fond memories of Doug. Of the three original Nicktoons, it was by far my favorite, and I know I’m not alone in my love of green sweater-vests. But I’ll admit, I do frequently wonder: Is Doug the original hipster? Is he, in fact, responsible for an entire generation of hipsters? Maybe. Let’s take a look at the evidence, shall we?
Author Neil Gaiman recently appeared on the Minnesota Public Radio show Wits, during which he recounted a memory of Mythbuster Adam Savage singing “I Will Survive” in the voice of Gollum. So what’s a radio show host to do? Why, call up Adam Savage and ask for an encore, of course! Much hilarity ensues. Laugh heartily, my friends.
Azazel Jacobs and Creed Bratton might seem like an odd duo to hold court on their new film Terri, but both men share the positon of being able to look back on the production from a distance: Jacobs as the director, of course, and Bratton as an experienced and prolific actor. Co-written by Jacobs, it’s the tale of an overweight teenage boy (Jacob Wysocki) who has the universal deck stacked against him: Taking care of his senile uncle (Bratton) makes him perpetually late for school, where he’s mocked for his size and quirks like wearing pajamas to class. It’s only after the outgoing vice principal Mr. Fitzgerald (John C. Reilly) reaches out to him through Monday check-ins and other adventures that Terri starts to appreciate his own value.
