Michael Cera School of Acting

I'm a fan of Michael Cera and even I am getting tired of him playing the same old schtick. However, I cannot even express how much I love Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. This was a role that perfectly suited Cera and his awkward/mopey/hipster/indie style. If he doesn't branch out and try new roles soon, guaranteed it will be the pinnacle of his career despite the fact that it was a box office flop. Either way, there's no denying the kid gets work. If you're a struggling young male actor, may I suggest the Michael Cera School of Acting:

Blues Clues by Christopher Nolan

Blues Clues was a staple among children's television in the 90s. While I was a little too old for it when it came on, my younger brother was an avid watcher, happily singing along to the songs and shouting out answers. Now look at what Blue has become! See what Blues Clues would look like with a decidedly adult tone through the eyes of someone like Christopher Nolan.

Glee: Thoughts on "Furt"

It's been a while since I did an episode recap for Glee. Mostly because I've been kind of apathetic towards this season. The characters have been flat, plotlines have bordered on ridiculous, and it's the most inconsistent show currently on air.

However, last night's episode finally had me excited about the musical numbers, the characters exhibited growth, well at least a couple, and one of the storylines made sense. I'm just going to ignore the entire Sue-plotline. If that hadn't been so off the wall and a poor man's Carrie Bradshaw, this episode would have been in my top favorites list.

It's a shame that only Kurt seems to get depth in the show. They are able to handle that well (most of the time) and I wish they would apply that to the other core characters. This week, in the face of bullying, the other glee kids stood by their own and defended him. All of them except Finn that is. I was worried he was going the way of Shuester, but unlike him he actually redeemed himself rather smoothly and I still believe he is a genuinely good guy. Also, he's a teenager. I'm much more willing to forgive his idiotic decisions in the quest for popularity than I am for Will. Will is a grown man and should know better. Most of the time, he just comes off as selfish, using the kids or glee performances to get what he wants out of it rather than listening to the kids.

This week didn't very much Will and I think it was better for it. He didn't perform with the kids, shoehorning himself into an uncomfortable situation. I also really enjoyed his rendition of "Sway" which was age appropriate, and while it is odd that he's performing at his students' parents' wedding, it definitely felt more organic than his decision to replace Sam as Rocky in the Rocky Horror Glee Show.

Speaking of the wedding, watch my favorite scene from the episode. "Marry You" by Bruno Mars:



When this started, I was so excited all I could do was tweet in caps lock. This song, and Bruno Mars in general, have been my musical obsession for the past few weeks. I never expected them to do this song, since it's not even on the radio. This song choice, the sappy vows to each other and to Kurt, the whole thing had me teary eyed. Yes, the vows were a little too sappy. Yes, they present Kurt as St. Kurt who does no wrong and deserves everyone's love and adoration. But, I fully believed their heartfelt words. Some people thought the Finn serenade of "Just the Way You Are" (TWO Bruno Mars songs in one episode) was too much, but after the way he let Kurt be bullied, he had to do a big gesture to get back in Kurt's, and the audience's, good graces. This redemption hasn't been done for Will yet and I think if it doesn't happen soon, it'll be too little, too late. I'm glad to see Finn isn't following in his footsteps, at least not yet anyway.

We've still got a lot of the season left and I'm interested to see how they deal with Kurt at the new school. I don't see how he can stay there long and remain a part of the core of the show. And as the only character with depth and complete likability, they either need to keep him around or learn how to flesh out the other characters so they're not so one note. Here's hoping they continue at this level of quality, as this is by far the most erratic television show on air right now. Have you heard about the Three Glees Theory?

OMG. So awesome. I went into Comic-Con not expecting much from this, thinking it would be a rip off of my dearly beloved and departed Firefly, but this looks all shades of awesome! I love Jon Favreau's use of practical effects. Too many films are just CGI showcases, so it's always nice when a director chooses to kick it old school. What do you think? Are you looking forward to this flick?

Vampire Diaries: Season 2 Episode 9 Recap

Please forgive any disjointedness, I'm not running on my usual amount of sleep...

Last week, we met the Originals and saved Elena from Elijah...or so we thought. This week, we go back in time once again! These are usually my favorite.

We get a flashback to Bulgaria, 1490 and see that Katherine gave birth to a baby girl, disgracing her family in the process. This hidden child will prove to be very important. I wonder who the father is? He could be someone of significance down the road.

Elena stops by the Salvatore house to face her capture, Rose. They dive deep into the mythology; Claus is the oldest vampire and he wants to break the curse. He's now likely after Elena, to sacrifice the doppelganger. This storyline reminds me of Twilight, with the Volturi going after Bella. Am I alone in this?

Bonnie and Jeremy continue building their friendship (soon to be relationship?!?). Although, a new student named Luka shows up. He's black and likely witchy, so of course there's chemistry. I hope they're not related!

Elena goes down to the tomb to visit Katherine, and it's Caroline's job to open the tomb, and make sure Stefan doesn't go looking for Elena while she's busy. Caroline's right to wonder why Katherine would tell the truth about this, when all she has done is lie from the beginning. Katherine emerges from the darkness and she does not look good. She's been without blood for a few weeks now and it shows.

The Petrova family history shows that Katherine is the end of the family lie. But as we saw in the flashback that opened the episode, we know that's not true. Elena brings blood as a peace offering/incentive to get her to spill on Claus and vampire lore.

Katherine and Claus go back to England, 1492. She was thrown out of Bulgaria for having a baby out of wedlock. While in England, she caught the eye of a nobleman, Claus. She was taken with him, until she found out what he really was. She ran, but couldn't evade him forever. Now we get to see the story of Trevor and Rose, how they helped Katherine which led to them running for the past 500 years.

Rose has only been around for about 5 minutes and she can already see that Damon is in love with Elena. Perceptive girl! Rose and Damon head out to talk to someone who may know where Claus is. They reach the informant, who oddly hangs out in an coffee shop/wifi spot all the time because the glass blocks the UV rays. He was turned while in university, and now he's got dozens and dozens of degrees. Apparently, his connection to the originals ends with Elijah, who they all believe is dead.

Caroline uses her and Tyler's information swap as an excuse to keep Stefan from checking in on Elena. They gab over food and Stefan reveals that he's a good friend to her because she reminds him of his best friend Lexi. Their fast friendship does make a bit more sense now, I had forgotten all about her existence. He finally wises up to her plot to keep him distracted. His first thought is that she's with Damon (ew), which shows that he is bothered a bit by the fact that Damon is in love with her.

Trevor helps Katherine escape, by telling her to go a cabin for safety. Rose is there and ready to turn her back in to Claus. However, Katherine would rather die than go back to him, so she stabs herself in a suicide attempt. Rose won't allow it and feeds her some of her blood to heal her. When Trevor comes back, Rose is distracted just long enough for Katherine to hang herself, knowing that vampire blood would be no good to him. It seems the only way for Elena to escape Claus is to kill herself or become a vampire. She used them to get what she wanted and didn't even bat an eyelash.

Katherine finally came back to get the stone, Elena, a werewolf to sacrifice, a witch to do the spell, and a vampire to complete the reversal of the curse.

Bonnie runs into Luka, the new kid, with his dad, Dr. Martin. The moved from Louisana to Mystic Falls, by way of Salem. They knew some Bennets out there, you know that can't be a coincident. Seriously, is every black person that comes on the show going to be a witch and/or related to Bonnie? We need more diversity than this!

If a vampire breaks the curse, the werewolves are stuck with the curse of the moon forever. And vice versa. Rose and everyone believes werewolves are extinct, until Damon tells them otherwise. Meanwhile, Elijah is listening outside, jingling a handful of change. I thought he would crush the coins down to a bullet or something, but instead he does something smarter. He throws the coins at the windows, shattering the entire storefront window. The sun streams into the cafe and the vampires scream and writhe in agony as they burn. Damon is fine thanks to the DayRing, but the others try to crawl to safety. Damon rescues Rose, but the other guy goes missing.

Luka demonstrates his abilities by floating salt on the table. They're warlocks, of course.

Katherine returned to Bulgaria to see her family, only to find them all massacred. He killed her entire family just to get back at her for running. Apparently they can stop Claus with the moonstone. Did she make it all up to get them to let her out? She brings up a valid point that as long as she's in there, she's safe from harm. No vampire would go in there to kill her, only to get stuck themselves.

Damon and Rose have a talk about Elena and Trevor, about emotions and survival, and of course it leads them making out and sexxx.

"In order to survive, you need to not care about anyone."

Damnit, why do I feel bad for Jeremy when he sees Bonnie and Luka talking? I don't want them together because it's her best friend's brother! But, he just looked so sad and like he was thinking "of course she's not in to me, I'm just the dorky younger brother."

Elena finally lets it all sink that all the madness is not because of her and Stefan falling in love. She breaks down in Stefan's arms...does this mean their back together? Their being apart no longer makes sense now that we know nothing is going to keep Elena safe.

Apparently, Originals can compel vampires just the same as vampires can compel humans. Elijah gets Slater to deliver false information - that the moonstone and witch will be able to break the need for a doppelganger sacrifice - and then stake himself. Then, we find out that Dr. Martin, the new kid's dad is somehow working with Elijah! Bonnie's in danger. Bonnie's in danger!

There's not another new episode until December 2. WHAT!

Jimmy Fallon's a Sucker

This is a few days old, but I had to post it. At 12 minutes, it's little long but keep watching because the last 4 minutes is probably my favorite part.



I honestly don't know of any other late night show doing such in depth skits and sketches. Jimmy Fallon really took his SNL years to heart and has infused Late Night with awesome sketches like this and the Glee parodies.

Summer Glau, nerd goddess, drops in to Chuck this week as the new Greta. It looks like she'll have more to work with than just looking perfect like the previous Gretas' of Olivia Munn, Stacey Kiebler, and Isaiah Mustafa (the Old Spice Guy). Jeff and Lester want to KNOW her and that means they're in prime stalking mode. See what Greta has to say about that in the clip below.

ScarJo hosts SNL this Saturday

ScarJo is my major girl crush, so I will always watch whatever she is in. It certainly helps that she's married to my other big crush, Ryan Reynolds. They both are hilarious and have been solid on SNL stints.

She's hosting this Saturday again and new promos have been released. Check them out below:



Anyone else as excited about this as I am?

Charles Barkley is a Dumbass

The guys over at NBA on TNT decided to have some fun with Charles Barkley. Taking a queue from Anchorman, the played around with the teleprompter just to see if he would continue reading. Check it out below:

Cee-Lo Green sings "Fox News" on The Colbert Report

Since The Colbert Report is on basic cable, Cee-Lo couldn't see the actual version of his hit song "Fuck You." So, instead of seeing the radio edit "Forget You", he and Colbert brainstormed a couple other things he could sing, ultimately setting on the Republican-satire-show-appropriate "Fox News". Check out snippets of the song below:

What's the Story, Morning Glory?

Am I the only one excited for this rom-com from JJ Abrahms' Bad Robot? I think Rachel McAdams is one of the most underutilized young actresses around. She was the next Julia Roberts after The Notebook and Red Eye, but then...practically nothing until Sherlock Holmes this past winter.

Well, she's finally back in the spotlight and looking more beautiful than ever in Morning Glory.

Morning Glory follows Becky, McAdams, as the young up-and-coming news producer trying to make her show work with the regular show anchor and the grouchy veteran who was brought in to bring credibility and hopefully ratings to the show. Of course, they don't get along and cause all kinds of trouble on air and off.

This clip from the film, originally posted on Hollywood.com, is of a sexy scene between Rachel McAdams and her love interest, Patrick Wilson.

Monosyllabic Mash-Up of the Day

The popularity of the "Don Draper says What?" video has spawned a mash up with Hurley's best "Dude"s from Lost. Enjoy!

I went to the KROQ Locals Only Show at The Roxy on Saturday and just loved all the bands that performed. I hadn't heard much about any of them, but have since downloaded The Smiles FREE EP and been streaming Vanaprasta and Young the Giant.

Expect my review of the show to go up on The Audio Perv in the next day or two.

Vampire Diaries: Season 2 Episode 8 Recap

Last week, Elena was kidnapped just when we thought she would be safe now that Katherine is entombed. Everyone should know by now that Elena is NEVER safe.

Caroline fills in Damon on what exactly happened with Tyler and he is not pleased with how chummy they are. Tyler doesn't know about vampires (amazingly enough) and he wants it stay that way. They can't be friends and still keep him in the dark on all other supernatural things. Caroline and Tyler have a lot in common now - recently turned into creatures they didn't even believe in, having to adjust to this whole supernatural thing. Maybe this werewolf change will be just as good for Tyler as it has been for Caroline? Caroline is one of my favorite characters now, whereas she was just the annoying friend in season 1.

Elena's been kidnapped by some foreign vampires, Rose and Trevor, who are working to make a deal with some guy named Elijah. Apparently they are functioning as a delivery service for him. He's one of "The Originals." The Salvatores really need to go into vampire history more, I want to know the lore of this world!

Jeremy, Stefan, and Bonnie work to try to find Elena. Bonnie does her magic, using Jeremy's blood to find his sister. Damon and Stefan set out on a roadtrip to rescue her and address Damon's reasons for helping. Stefan seems so nonchalant about the thought that his brother might be in love with Elena, the love of his life.

Tyler busts out a Teen Wolf move, dunking in a small pick up basketball game. He is not handling transitioning well. He knows Caroline has answers and won't let up until she reveals her strength to him. Now he knows she knows something!

Jeremy and Bonnie wait at home and do research while the others go to Elena. Their chemistry is weirding me out! It's his sister's best friend! I know there's not much of an age difference, but still. Bonnie decides to try to send Elena a message. For her last spell it was just a little drop of blood from the nose, but with this magic her nose bleed is worse, she starts convulsing, and then just when the spell is done and we think she's ok, she falls back. I knew that drop of blood was forboding, but I thought it wouldn't be addressed for an episode or two. This is why I love this show, everything happens at a breakneck pace and there is never a dull episode. This one is considered a slow one because it's after Katherine but before the next evil has fully developed, and it's STILL a solid episode.

Back with Elena, she's learning more about the history of her kidnapper. She apparently knows of the Salvatores, and was even set up with Stefan because "he's one of the good ones." But she likes the bad boys, maybe she'd do well with Damon? She and Trevor have been running for 500 years and they're using Elena to get themselves out of it. She's a Petrova doppelganger, meaning she's the key to breaking the sun and the moon key. The moonstone binds the curse, but the blood of the doppelganger in a sacrifice will break it. And of course, it can't just be a few drops of blood; Elena has to die.

Caroline is completely out of the loop for this rescue mission. Tyler corners her in her own home, trying to get her to reveal herself. He thinks she's a werewolf and she just laughs in his face over the absurdity of that. He gets her to use her strength and finally she comes clean about vampires. Well, mostly. She says she's the only one she knows of.

Damon and Stefan's road trip bonding leads to him revealing that he's been feeding on Elena, trying to control his blood lust. Damon reminisces about the good ole days of when Stefan lived for the kill; he would tear people apart just for fun. Stefan found a better reason to live, and can't think of a better way to die than to go out trying to save the love his (very long) life.

Bonnie's ok; she just passed out briefly. She doesn't want anyone other than Jeremy knowing about her weakness, because it could be used to hurt her. She and Jeremy are getting awfully close...

Rose works a deal with Elijah, but he can't forgive trevor for his betrayal. One swift move and Trevor is no more. Decapitated! Elena tries to negotiate her safety for knowledge of the location of the moonstone. Elijah doesn't work that way. He just rips of her vervain necklace and compels her to reveal that the moonstone is in the tomb beneath the church. She doesn't say that Katherine is down there, so that could be a pleasant surprise for him should he go after it.

Damon and Stefan come in with all of Alaric's weapons and the battle is quick, smart, and strategic. They throw Elijah off by taunting from different parts of the room. Elena lures him in saying she's sorry for her friends and she'll go with him, then she throws a vervain bomb in his face! That was some great special effects to see his face heal so quickly. He's definitely strong from his age. Stefan shoots him with the thin  stake gun, they fight down the stairs and Damon gets in the kill shot! Everything happened so fast, it was awesome!

Elena's reunion with Jeremy and Bonnie was so well done. Excellent music choice.

Stefan and Damon continue the bonding even back at home. Stefan apologizes for making Damon turn 145 years ago. He's never said it out loud; he just didn't want to be alone. I think this could be the beginning of a new, stronger Salvatore brotherly love.

Rose is back because she has no one and no where else to go. She can help Stefan, because Claus will not stop until the doppleganger is sacrificed. I'm excited to see this Claus and the other Originals. The last scene of Elijah, his resurrection on the stake was a shocker! I wonder if there is a way to kill him, or if he's so strong that he can recover from anything.

The most talked about scene from this week will definitely be the Damon and Elena moment at the end.

It's because I love you that I can't be selfish with you. I don't deserve you, but my brother does.

The fact that he poured his heart out and then compelled her to forget is just so heartbreaking! I hope he can find someone to distract him from Elena. Rose is into bad boys, after all.

Hollywood Enjoys Hook-ups: Friends with Benefits means No Strings Attached

Two trailers debuted this week and they seem nearly identical.

Friends with Benefits (Red Band Trailer)

No Strings Attached

With similar plots, the only thing that gives Friends With Benefits the edge is the cast. I really like Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake really proved himself as an actor in The Social Network. Natalie Portman just seems better than this material and Ashton Kutcher has been doing these roles for so long. I wish he would try something new! My favorite movie of his was The Butterfly Effect, which is markedly different than the rest of his filmography.

Either way, this look like Netflix material. Which one do you think looks better? Will you see either?

I loved watching in theaters on the 23rd. It was great to see it with fans who were just as in love with as I am, laughing at all the right parts. It was also great to see it uninterrupted and without distractions. The last 100 times I've seen it (ok, that may be exaggeration), I watched it on cable in my living room. Commercial breaks, roommates coming in and out, surfing the net, and who knows what else lead to a very disjointed viewing experience.

In other words, GO CHECK IT OUT! You'll thank me later.

This season is already leaps and bounds better than last season, which was the weakest in the show's history.

I for one am a fan of Barney/Robin getting back together. I wasn't a fan of them getting together and breaking up the first time around, but the writers have done a much better job of making their connections believable, the slow build up is working. Last time they got together so slowly with very little emotional foundation for it to make sense. And then they broke up at what seemed like a drop of a hat. This time each episode seems to have a little moment between them that further proves their compabatibility and attraction. The fans seem to be pretty split on this issue, and how you feel about their potential recoupling really affects your enjoyment of this season.

Anyways, watch the latest viral video, a beer commercial that couldn't air on TV:

This is great! My favorite part is from the skype chat towards the end: "I'll be updating my status to 'scared shitless' after this."

8-bit There Will Be Blood

The critically acclaimed, Oscar nominated film gets a retro re-imagining:

The Walking Dead: A Look Ahead

The pilot of The Walking Dead was one of the best pilots I've seen in a long time, maybe even going back so far as to LOST's pilot seven years ago. I'm so glad that the exceptional episode was also rewarded with stellar ratings - 5.3 million, the highest in AMC's history and the highest for a cable series premiere all year.

There are only 6 episodes this season, so be sure to catch every one! I hope the ratings and shortened season mean we get more new episodes sooner rather than later. Catch a peek at what's to come in the next few episodes below:

Short Film: The Legend of Hallowdega

Terry Gilliam is still working on his long developing "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote", but he took a break to make this amazing short film. I'm a little late on finding it, it's Halloween themed, but it's still a fun watch. Starring David Arquette and Justin Kirk (from Showtime's Weeds), it's got some really funny moments. 

Unfortunately I can't embed the video here, but go to the official website for the video and behind the scenes information.

The Muppets are on a ROLL with all these topical, fun videos.

Music Monday: You Sleep Alone by HelloGoodbye

Hellogoodbye has been one of my favorite bands since high school. When they blew up with "(Here) in your Arms" in 2007, it was awesome to hear them on the radio! I've seen them go from playing small shows at The Cobalt Cafe in Canoga Park to sharing the stage at The Wiltern.

Their new CD, Would It Kill You?, is set to drop November 9. You can pre-order it along with special schwag at the official Hellogoodbye website or from Amazon by clicking the image below.

SNL Highlights: Jon Hamm

There's a reason this is Jon Hamm's third time hosting in just two seasons. He's hilarious and isn't afraid to look ridiculous to get the laugh. I still love the digital short, Sergio, from his last stint, and he was greased up, covered in oil, and sporting a permed mullet for it! There were so many hilarious sketches this week, so sorry for the video overload.

Shy Ronnie
I loved this sketch the last time Rihanna performed, and am so glad they brought it back. Having Ronnie in the skirt with the tiny gun totally fit with his personality and got the laugh. I loved when Ronnie went off as soon as "Clyde" stepped out; he had some sick rhymes! It's just too bad he can't speak in her presence, so she'll never know.


I Didn't Ask For This
This was my favorite sketch from the night! The " Autotuned Best Cry Ever" would totally be my ringtone.


Back to the Future Screen Tests
25 years ago, a film classic came into existence. But it took a lot of casting calls and auditions to find the perfect cast. These impressions are pretty spot on, especially Alan Alda, Robin Williams, and Eddie Murphy. Jay Pharoah is a comedy beast!
