Darren Criss site on Fantourage. I wouldn't bother, except that it looks like the Street Team might start using it/posting there and they do contests, so it's worth Darren fans at least joining up. (Also, it's totally worth joining the Street Team to see this Stutter video Ricky Rollins posted there.) (Ricky is Darren's manager.)
Darren interview! Lots of talk about Starship, so that's awesome.
James Franco launches college course on James Franco. LOL ILU Franco.
Beautiful Bible quotes that are hilarious and, apparently, real.
Saoirse Ronan has signed on to The Hobbit! But PJ is in hospital for surgery :( :( I'm pulling for him.
Today I saw two movies: Yogi Bear
Spoilers: Okay, so the plot of this movie. Yogi and Booboo are TALKING BEARS, so a documentarian comes to film them. The park gets threatened to be torn down, but then they find out that there's an endangered turtle living there, so it doesn't happen.
An endangered turtle. And nobody thought about preserving the park for the TWO FUCKING TALKING BEARS. Like, how much rarer can you get? Apparently, a turtle.
I feel like there's so much to complain about with this movie - poor OTT acting, horrible one-note writing, bad pacing, dodgy animation (seriously, the interactions between humans and animated characters were more believable in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?), cultural and creative bankruptcy, lack of humour, lack of focus on Yogi and what he's famous for in the first place - but for some reason, this ENORMOUS, GAPING PLOT HOLE bothers me more than any of that. The villain is like a watered-down kiddie-friendly version of Buffy's The Mayor, which is almost fun, especially with Nathan Corddry as his ass-kissing sidekick. Even that loses its appeal very quickly, though. There just isn't anything good about this movie. Usually I give a film a bit of credit if it's a kids' film that kids like, but I'm not taking their opinions into account here. They didn't really laugh that much. At least it was short, is all I can say.

Despicable Me
From Yogi Bear to a film that is actually creative, funny, and enjoyable (and starring a really awesome voice cast including Jason Segel and Julie Andrews, FUCK YEAH). It's got a few flaws, but it was a fun look at a world full of villains, and the wit and humour were genuine. It had a lot of heart, too.
The plot was a little too predictable, and it didn't seem to be offering anything terribly new, unfortunately.

SO ADORABLE.
Does anyone have the audio of this? Also, this reminds me, I found out that Barbra was nominated for a Razzie for Little Fockers. I thought she and Dustin Hoffman were the best things in that movie. Am I just crazy?
The waste of Audra McDonald is another crime Private Practice has to answer for.
