Review: Chuck in 3D

chuck_mainFirst of all, I’ve never seen an episode of Chuck before. After seeing this “3D” episode, I’ll probably check out a few more on hulu.

Alright, on to the review. The show is funny, fast-paced, and has lots of good action. Plus, there is a hot blonde lady who kills fools! What’s not to like? Well, how about the so-called “3D” aspect, for starters.

When I put on some stupid glasses then I have to construct myself, I expect some fuckin’ eye-popping 3D explosions, some real Disney shit. You know the Honey I Shrunk/Blew Up/Had A One Night Stand With/ the Audience thing. The cobras, dogs, shit flying at you. Instead, we got some strange-colored bullshit where Charlie from Lost appears slightly closer to the screen than Chuck. GREAT!!!

Seriously, that was the worst “3D” episode of anything that I’ve ever seen, period. They put in one, count ‘em, one, shot of a thrown knife that was actually pretty cool. Other than that, biggest stupid glasses wearing experience of my entire freakin’ life. My girlfriend and my roommate just took their glasses off after about 2 minutes. Half the time you can’t even see the difference between the show normally and the “3D” parts.

Final score:
Show: B+
3D: F+


Seriously, NBC, if you’re going to make me run around town like a crazy fool trying to find some goddamned 3D glasses, then shit man, at least make it halfway decent. You goddamned bastards.

You Just Won the Super Bowl…

What’s next, Disney World?

I think James Harrison is a great player, definitely won the game with his sweet 100 yard return, but shit, is the guy an animal!

One more video of him slamming a FAN after the break.

Cheers to you!

Winter blues got you down? Just order this CD of eight tracks of encouragement from someone you don’t know and continuous cheers JUST FOR YOU from an “audience of 30,000!” With tracks like “We Believe in You,” “Thank You My Friend,” and “Great Job” (”praising you for being a hard worker,” the site says), you’ll be feeling great about yourself in no time. This CD is even endorsed by Ellen DeGeneres (?!). If you don’t want to buy the album, you can download an mp3 of 5:45 of applause for only $4.95. The CD is $16.95, but who can put a price on happiness?

I feel like it’s too easy to make a snarky comment about this, so I’ll just let you all judge for yourselves. Or you can watch their TV advert, which is as convincing as Stacker 2.

Step 1: Bush Gets Shoe Thrown at Him… Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit?

We all have seen this video 50 times now. Well, at least I have.

But did you know that you can already buy T-shirts commemorating the incident?

Yeah, pretty fast, but it is the Internet age, after all.

I guess Step 2 is actually pretty obvious… create a bunch of crap on CafePress and hope people buy it…

Edit: A fascinating article about people’s reaction to the “Shoe Incident” from The New York Times.

A new low/high in TV

Just when you thought VH1 couldn’t get more ridiculous, here comes “I Love Money.” A whole gaggle of contestants from the recent celebrity dating competition shows, but with no pretense of “love.” I guess this show is more honest about its intentions (and don’t worry, Pumpkin will be there), but it’s kind of a sad state for the human race…

Okay, time to post an inspirational story about a cute animal… anything that doesn’t make me (who even watched Rock of Love 2) vomit a little.

17 Classmates Pregnant because of a PACT?

Just when you thought you had just about heard it all!

 

TIME Magazine articleL:

As summer vacation begins, 17 girls at Gloucester High School are expecting babies—more than four times the number of pregnancies the 1,200-student school had last year. Some adults dismissed the statistic as a blip. Others blamed hit movies like Juno and Knocked Up for glamorizing young unwed mothers. But principal Joseph Sullivan knows at least part of the reason there’s been such a spike in teen pregnancies in this Massachusetts fishing town. School officials started looking into the matter as early as October after an unusual number of girls began filing into the school clinic to find out if they were pregnant. By May, several students had returned multiple times to get pregnancy tests, and on hearing the results, “some girls seemed more upset when they weren’t pregnant than when they were,” Sullivan says. All it took was a few simple questions before nearly half the expecting students, none older than 16, confessed to making a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. Then the story got worse. “We found out one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy,” the principal says, shaking his head.
