My 9 for '09!

Hey, y'allz! With 2009 coming to an end, it's time to count down my favorite pop culture moments, people, movies, songs and ethnicities of 2009! Yey!!! Let's go!

9. I Love The Hangover!

I LOVE movies. I live for them! Sadly, though, this year's crop haven't done much for me. Except these two!!

I think I Love You, Man flew a bit under people's radar. Sucks for them! These movie is geeeeeeeeeeenius and gets better with every viewing. Behold! (Samberg alert) the trailer.



Those fish tacos are the tits, Joben.

The Hangover flew under absolutely no one's radar. Behold! the trailer.



And the world would never be the same.

8. David After Dentist!

I swear to you all, I invented this video.



A+

7. Angry Youtube Rants!

Why Christian Bale's people aren't campaigning for a Best Actor nom, I'll never know. This is the most emotional I've ever heard him, and he did it all in while in character!! Cheers.



And then there's this guy. While I have trouble believing someone could truly get this upset over some stranger bitch attacking Beyonce, I can't help but appreciate his commitment. You go, coco.



Perfection, thy name is....whatever this guy's name is.

6. KANYE!!!!!

Ok. It was rude. I get it. But, can we just put our feelings aside to admire the GENIUS work of Mr. West, here. I mean, he effortlessly turned himself into one of 2009's greatest pop culture villains (aside from Crizz Brown and possibly Jon Gosselin), BUT unlike those two, he didn't actually hurt anyone/damn 8 children to a life of therapy and/or drugs and/or sexual ~indescretions, which will ultimately make his return that much sweeter. Plus, that shoulder shrug is HILARIOUS.

MTV Shows

Bonus Amber Rose, cuz she's fierce:



5. Asians!

Asians were so in this year (for me)! I didn't start watching J&K+8 until after the Gosselin marriage went to crap, but thank jeebus it did! Alexis and Aaden are the lights of my life.

I hate Maddy by the way. BIG HATE.

Also,

You're welcome.

And of course,



ADORABLE! It's funny that I didn't love the Asians until AFTER Oxford. Can you imagine the shitstorm had I liked Asians in high school?? Good lord.

4. Glee!

This isn't really the best clip from Glee, but Hulu didn't have Dancing With Myself anymore (assholes) so I went with another Artie-heavy clip. It's still pretty good, though. Kurt's intensity. Finn's...dancing? And the token maybe-hot minorities dancing. A+ Glee, A+



3. SNL.

I realize that SNL isn't all that great anymore (like, at all) but there are still moments where I find it funny. Deal with it.

Easily the best Digital Short of the year. Thanks JT.



I also liked Shy Ronnie. I didn't think Rihanna could be funny, but her eh's are perfect here.



Also, this needs to be said. Kenan Thompson is the best thing about SNL right now. Maybe it's just me. It's probably just me, but, he was on Kenan and Kel. Soooo, take that as you will. hahaha. All I'm trying to say is I love What Up With That and no one can take that away from me.



Political wiiiiiill. Genius. Also Jason Sudeikis dancing in the background? Will you marry me?

2. Lady Gaga

This was the moment I stopped hating Gaga.

Lady Gaga - New Music - More Music Videos

And this was the moment I started loving her.

Lady Gaga - New Music - More Music Videos

Dude.

1. LOST!


Okay, first of all I am addicted. Second, there is a RIDICULOUS amount of man candy on this show. From Jin (see shirtless man in the asian post) to Sawyer to Faraday. Bahahaha. K, maybe not Faraday, but I am mildly attracted to him. And by mildly....yeah.

And don't forget post-island Sayid's luxurious weave.

LOLZ!

YAY!!!! That's it, guys! My favorite things about 2009. And with that, I say goodbye to 2009 and haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to 2010 (I wonder how many of these things will still be on the list next year). So leave me your comments my children. Anything I missed. What did you love this year? And stay tuned for my Top 10 of the DECADE list. Coming soon!

bai.

Bonus Hirsch because I love him.

"Riddle Me This!!!!!!!!"

The other day my mom and I talked about movies. She said her favorite movie of the year was 500 Days of Summer. EXCELLENT choice. Such a great flick. But, as much as I loved it, it definitely wasn't my favorite of the year. Deep inside I knew only one film holds that special place in my heart. My favorite movie of the year (so far!!!) is DEFINITELY, EASILY:

Yeah. I feel kind of bad about this choice. But, there really wasn't anything else this year I'd consider a must-see. Granted, good movie season hasn't started yet, but I'm not all that excited for the films coming up. Maybe with the exception of Where the Wild Things Are and The Lovely Bones. I don't know. Maybe it's just too early. Although, I'm pretty sure I was hyped for Milk and Slumdog Millionaire this time last year. I COMPLETELY invented Slumdog Millionaire, by the way. And The Hangover. Just sayin.

So what are your favorite movies of 2009 (so far)?

Hey Guys

I know there's still some time left, but I've been thinking about posting a top 10 list of my favorite events/people/things from 2009. Any suggestions? Here's a sampler of what you may see on my list this December:

Perhaps a collaboration from my favorite jew:


and my favorite ex-nsyncer:


Maybe one of these bad boys:

(Technically from '08, but it wasn't until this year that I felt the all-consuming fiery desire to own one)

And this bitch:

Don't fight it. He wins always.

Cheers, y'all!

I Approve of This

If the Marvel-Disney relationship gives us stuff like this, I will be all. about it.


LOVE IT. Click here to see more pics. And in high resolution!!!!!!!!!

Hello

So, on the off-chance I celebrate Halloween this year [a certain someone said she wouldn't go trick-or-treating with me (lookin at you, shwan)] I'll need help deciding what I want to be!!

It's between this guy:

It's all about that epic eye. And the hat. Milk included?

Alex is the epitome of Fashion!

Or this guy:

For obvious reasons to anyone who knows me.

I want to fly.

So, get in the poll and vote! Then tell me in the comments why you voted the way you did. I'm already leaning towards one, but maybe you can convince me otherwise.

PS: Anyone surprised it's between two dudes?

...me either.

For Katie

Here's your mugshot:


Seksi.

I Have Nothing to Blog About

What would you guys like to see around here? Leave good comments!!

What Do You Guys Think?

I'm not sure how I feel about this trailer. It looks like it has the potential to be kinda awesome or kinda horrid. Not sure yet. I may be leaning a bit toward the former.



However, I'm completely split on the cast. I hate Woody Harrelson, and hey! waddup Michael Cera Jr. But, I love Abigail Breslin and Emma Stone. So, you tell me!

Ahhhh!!

Here we have character banners from Tim Burton's upcoming adaptation of Alice in Wonderland.

Terrifying!

I love her.

Wow! This looks like it is going to be terrifying/amazing. Like everything Tim Burton does.

I Will Only Say This Once...

Perez Hilton needs to BACK OFF the Anton Yelchin. Katie and I INVENTED the boy and he is not yours unless we allow him to be. That is all.

I was too lazy to find a better picture. Lulz.

Quote Quote

Let's think about this:

"Things are never as bad as they seem to the pessimist and never as good as they seem to the optimist." - David Oreck

So, what does this mean? Are we disillusioned? How do we find what is real? Where is our truth? Questions! This quote kind of caught me off guard. I was in my room, fresh off a Nosferatu binge, enjoying some piano-rock courtesy of The Script (ch-check it out here. I guess they're a VH1 artist durkablah) checkin out what megarich CEOs don't have college degrees, when I stumbled on that little gem. After that I was sort of blue. I try to stay easygoing. I dabble in optimism. But, does that make my life a work of fiction? Talk about depressing!! I'm going to go image search Emile Hirsch to cheer myself up. But I guess I won't really feel that much better. :[

Harry Potter Owns This Crap

Watch these fatties flip their shizz over the new Twilight trailer. (skip to around 2:15 for the good stuff).



This movie looks just as horrible as the first one. :]

Worst (Best?) Tattoo Ever

You know who this is.

Nosferatu = Love

This is how you make Alexis love something she hates.

Makeover?

If I ever go back to curly hair, I think I'll wear it like this mofo. Just pile it on top of my head, and let it fall where it may.


And of course I'll run in the dead grass in my leather ensemble wielding a magic wand. Duh. By the way, Helena Bonham Carter's kind of my idol. Not really. But, this broad walks around dressed as a hoba and works it like a million dollar couture gown. Big f--- you to society. I support this.

Someone Thought This Was A Cat

Awesome.

My Life's Aspiration

Hopefully, by the time I'm old and ready to die, I will be able to say my life was this interesting:

"Life isn't divided into genres. It's a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you're lucky." - Alan Moore

Holla!

He Knows

Although this quote is probably contrived down to the last word, I have to agree.

"I can't get over that she is a huge pop icon of the world. People are acting like she's the new Britney Spears … I don't know even why this girl gets so much attention and press. I guess if you dress like a fool and have crazy, ridiculous haircuts, people start paying attention." -Spencer Pratt on Lady Gaga.

You go Spencer!

Oooo and then there's this:

"People are calling Lady GaGa the pop princess, what's Heidi - the pop queen?"

Love it.

Celebration

W00tw00t it's Spring Break!! I believe it's time to celebrate this victory.

George-Michael

12 Angry Men

This week in Philosophy we watched 12 Angry Men. Great film. Nothing really happened though, well except this according to imdb:

"A dissenting juror in a murder trial slowly manages to convince the others that the case is not as obviously clear as it seemed in court."

It was pretty much just twelve dudes talking in a room for an hour and half. Still, it was pretty compelling stuff. Y'allz should check it out sometime. Anyway, in honor of 12 Angry Men I thought I'd post some of my favorite craziez looking angry. Enjoy!

ahaha. I love Britney. But, that will never not be hilarious.

You guys have seen it before, but it's just so good. Had to bring it back.

Not really sure if that's anger, but it cracks me up.

What Is This??

Will this ever NOT be awesome??

I'm the Baby

Gotta love me.

Gross.

I Took This Picture

Le. git.

Been Sitting On This Pic

Keep meaning to blog. Keep finding myself overloaded with homework and papers and tests. Procrastination. Until I find adequate blogging time I come with Hirsch.

My Favorite Things

This picture.

I Couldn't Resist

Keep wearin that purple, bb.

So, I was sixteen when my Hirsch mania began. Gross.

Eat Fresh

So, anyone who knows me well could tell you all about my hatred for institutions of education. Jr. High was awkward and....awkward. High School made me want to die about half the time, and I'm not sure I have any feeling either way about college. Anywhoooo....after finishing another dreadfully droll 75 minutes in Philosophy 170, which I believe should be retitled Why the Hell Do I Give an Ish? 170, I was ridiculously tired and, more importantly, unbelievably starving. So I wandered over to Subway. I ordered some awkward combination of chicken and pretend bacon with the ever important fatty ingredient ranch. The smell itself was enough to satisfy my hunger, but when I took the first bite. lakjdflafljadlfjalds. GENIUS. Do you ever feel like you're having the worst day ever? Today wasn't really one of those days, but if it had been WHOA NOW!! Imagine what I could have done!! That sub was like a frikkin rebirth. Ahahahaha. Sad. I'm rambling now. I just really wanted to blog about my delicious Subway lunch.

-AR ooooo that's legit. bahaha.

Freida Pinto is friggin gorgeous. And I love her accent. Goddamn I love Indian people. Jeez.

Lookin over the nominees for Best Actress. I don't really understand Angelina's nomination. The movie was omega repetitive. Whatevz. K. Winslet ftw.

If Slumdog doesn't win Best Picture, I might crap my pants.

ahaha. Randolph Duke not feelin' Miley's outfit. I love Mr. J, but, you have to leave it to the designers to keep it real.

Freida Pinto is friggin gorgeous. And I love her accent. Goddamn I love Indian people. Jeez.

I just realized Dev Patel might be my favorite person ever. British + Indian = AWESOME!!

John Legend? Um, ok. Jessica Biel? Um, ok. Unless you're bringin some J.Timberlake on the stage, go home.

Michelle Tuzee. stfu.

Marisa Tomei. I wish I could explain why I love saying Tomei. She always looks a hot mess, though.

Seal and Heidi. Lookin fresh.

The Slumdog kids are FREAKING ADORABLE. OMFG SCREAMING IN INDIAN ACCENTS. this is the best thing I've ever seen.

Sarah Jessica Parket. Why the long face? A horse is a horse of course of course. She looks like the tooth fairy. Love Matthew Broderick, though.

Robert Pattinson. Lookin nastay. suprised? nope.

Amy Adams. That's a bomb shade of red. Don't know how I feel about the dress itself. Hmm....

Mickey Rourke. ug. You're so gross. If you take from Sean Penn, someone's gonna be pissed. ME. I only want one comeback kid. That's RDJ. Until you do blackface in the jungle, Mickey Rourke, you are nothing to me. RDJ lokin good, btw. edit: Good lord, RDJ. You're the new Justin Long. ahaha.

Natalie Portman!! So gorgeous. Interesting shade though. Like neon cotton candy.

Josh Brolin. If it wasn't for that dream where he tried to kill me, he'd be pretty dang hot. Ok, he's still hot. On a related note, Diane Lane, lookin good.

JAMES FRANCO. holla!!

Evan Rachel Wood. I think she dropped the ball. She's been lookin fly all award season.

SEAN EFFING PENN!!! FTWFTWFTW. Idol right there. I.DOL.

Seth Rogen. lulz.

Anne Hathaway. That dress is GARGEOUS. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGEOUS.

O snap. Brad and Angelina. King and Queen. Too bad Ben Button might go down as the biggest Oscar loser in the history of the show. ouch.

KATE WINSLET. My personal Jesus. Looking STUNNING on the cover of Time, btw.

Meryl Streep. Hot for an old lady. She's no Helen Mirren, though.

Alicia Keys. So pretty.

Reflecting on Rachel Getting Married. I would have called it, "Anne Hathaway is the Only Good Thing About This Boring Movie."

OMFG JACKBLACK. and Emile Hirsch in the same place?!?! alkdjflakdsj.

More Awesomaciousness To Come...

Just you wait.

We're Back!

Holla!
