10:50 PM Dave: hey
me: yo
Dave: sending you the new posters
10:51 PM i am going to print out a fuckload of them
and i think we need to put them in the streets
me: Okay, are we gonna do the facebook thng too?
Dave: yeah i need to do that
10:53 PM this episode of dollhouse from last week is creepy
me: yeah
I am glad the season will finish out
10:54 PM Dave: yeah
although this season sucks
me: I wish they would just move to the future
Dave: i wish they would have some non-doll non-dollhouse employee characters
or that caroline would become self-aware
10:55 PM me: yeah
or that they would have a budget
Dave: yeah they seriously lack budget
but if the writing were any good at all it could be good
but seriously
10:56 PM every single episode is about characters glitching
me: i know!
Dave: not even AT&T has such shitty service
me: well, this episode did showcase wiping outside of the chair
hahahaha
Can I blog this btw?
10:57 PM Dave: sure
me: Let’s talk about the echo app
Dave: ?
me: I thik the echo app explains everything that’s wrong with the show.
Dave: i haven’t finished watching it yet
me: I.e., the most boring thing about the show is what they focus on
10:58 PM The fox echo app
Dave: i don’t follow shitty itunes app marketing
seriously
people make too many apps.
me: hahaha
true story
Back to dollhouse.
What’s the deal with the doc missing
10:59 PM Dave: ‘a remote wipe. it can’t be done!’
she has to be written out of episodes because Amy Acker got another job.
sad face.
me: really?
what’s she doing?
Dave: dude, the actor who plays victor with the unpronounceable name is so fucking good
she’s on some sitcom
i wish that sierra were in more episodes too
11:00 PM tim minear continues to be one of the better whedon writers though
this episode, even though it revolves around the same stupid plot contrivances, is at least really well constructed
11:01 PM me: yeah
I wish December would return
Dave: the way that the quick cuts from the serial killer bits to the echo and her nutty professor bits.
November?
me: yeah
her
Dave: i think she will be in more episodes.
me: better be
11:02 PM I think the experience of dollness is more interesting in post
Like, wondering what she did
Dave: “he’ll be an empty headed robot wandering around hollywood. he’ll be fine!”
me: hehehe. Are you at the gay scene yet?
There’s some slash fiction that needs to be made on nifty,org
11:03 PM Dave: well so this is actually all about the future
this is definitely the best episode of the season
just in the sense that it hints at epitaph one
holy crap
me: that’s a low low bar
Dave: it is a low low bar
me: yeah, the hinting is awesome
Dave: echo just fuckin stabbed that motherfucker.
11:04 PM brb
me: hehehehe
this poster rocks
11:05 PM Dave: also
11:06 PM isn’t renting a doll supposed to be prohibitively expensive?
how does one afford it on an academic’s budget?
me: I assume he’s rolling in dough, like all college professors
Dave: you like ‘dudes, $3 drinks, disco, donuts’?
11:07 PM the font is not as crisp as i want it to be.
me: or maybe he sells meth on the side, like in the movie breaking bad
Dave: yeah
me: er tv show
Dave: maybe he just saved his ducats
too bad all it got him was a healthy shivving
me: next week, echho is sold to a child with a lemonade stand
the week after, a girl scout
11:08 PM She shivs them also
Dave: hahahaha. soon there will be more pro bono cases and more shivvings
the dollhouse is basically one big murder party
me: yeah, it’s in the charter
11:09 PM do you think the LA dollhouse is just terrible, and all the other dollhouses are awesome?
Dave: i certainly hope one of them is at the very least competent
me: like, London’s dollhouse read’s about LA and says “Shivving in LA, sigh, idiots.”
11:10 PM Dave: i’m very disappointed by the decision-making skills of the rich people in LA.
me: maybe they give them a lot of room since Topher is a genius.
11:11 PM Dave: the technobabble is good stuff. oh awesome awesome awesome enver gjokaj you are the MAN
11:12 PM me: gay scene?
Dave: ‘i’m kiki, i don’t know how i got here, i sorta don’t care, am i drunk?’
me: hehehe
oh yeah, Kiki is also the best slutty girl name ever
I hope she just becomes part of the cast
Dave: hahahahahahah
me: also participating in the shivving
11:13 PM Dave: that would be a really big improvement
this show needs about 100% more whimsy
me: yeah. it totally would
yes!
11:14 PM Also, they should never do heavy emotional stories with echo
I feel for sierra
she seems the most intense
11:15 PM Dave: well they did last season
right i feel for sierra, too
and november
god, she does not have the range for this
i kind of want caroline to be like peter petrelli
me: how so?
11:16 PM Dave: well
i think they should confine her to one personality
i think that would make the show better. because she’s always going to be at the center of the show
me: yeah, I could see that
one personality
Dave: and it would be easier to understand and empathize with the protagonist if she was just one person.
me: many memories
11:17 PM and she was spending the show trying to convince people she was still a doll
so she could avoid the attic
11:18 PM Dave: interesting that she was trying to commit suicide by croquet mallet
me: it’s the 2nd most popular form of suicide in connecticut
11:19 PM Dave: behind ‘going to yale’
me: hahahaha
11:20 PM Dave: oh creepy
she’s now gathering all the personalities she gets imprinted with going forward, too?
creepy.
me: yeah, overall a good episode
11:21 PM and next week looks amazin!!!
Dave: i haven’t watched the preview
me: it’s the story of sierra
11:23 PM Dave: um also
you know how they spent a lot of time talking shit about last season’s stand alone episodes?
why are they back?
11:24 PM me: not sure… I think they wanted to make it more accesible
they are trying to give them a slow buildup

This article should be about the hot dude holding this bike. *nom nom nom*

This Sucks. When you type “Sambo” into the best-selling DS Game “Scribblenauts,” a watermelon apears.  Although Warner Bros is claiming it was an accident:

“We deeply regret the unfortunate oversight that led to the word being included in the game,” a company spokesman said. “The word was included as a reference to a Spanish based term for a fig leafed gourd but clearly upon review the word should have been excluded entirely.”

As of now, there have not been any attempts to recall or change the game’s content.

Please reach Kotaku’s excellent explanation of what happened here

That’s right. It’s exactly what you think it is.

This is a penis

Gizmodo lables it under “Grossmodo.” This is because they don’t understand what true art looks like.

It’s true. Apple’s ads have always bothered me and I couldn’t put my finger on it.

Shakesville points out, that the commercial ultimately about two straight white men. More specifically, The commercials are about how uncool the fat nerd PC is when confronted by the awesome hipster that is Apple.  And ultimately there’s not that much different about the two of them.

Also, which movie do you really wanna see, the pretty girl? or the man the in the dress?

Shakesville argues it’s transphobia. I say it’s anti drag and gaycist.

I watched the CW tonight. Saw the vampire diaries. I’m giving it 3 weeks to impress me.

Week 1:
The boy vamps are fuckable.
The girl with dead parents falls for vampire thing is lame.
I hope her brother is a werewolf.
Ring that let’s the vamp walk in the sun thing is ripped from Buffy.

At the Apple event today, they announced a Nano that shoots video. My iPhone can’t even shoot video. Why?

Cause apple hates me.

The feeling is often mutual.

I am rededicating myself to this blog. That’s all for now.

Via Engadget:
“So the Copyright Office is currently in the middle reviewing proposed exceptions to the DMCA, and one of the proposals on the table would allow teachers and students to rip DVDs and edit them for use in the classroom. Open and shut, right? Not if you’re the MPAA and gearing up to litigate the legality of ripping — it’s trying to convince the rulemaking committee that videotaping a flatscreen is an acceptable alternative. Seriously. It’s hard to say if we’ve ever seen an organization make a more tone-deaf, flailing argument than this.”
