Mulder and Scully <3 YouTube; Not Each Other :-(

In preparation for Monday's release of the official trailer, two new web ads have debuted teasing the X-Files sequel. One video features Mulder talking about Scully ("I miss the way she says my name")while the other features the opposite ("I miss how much he challenges me").

It is unclear whether these clips are actual scenes from the film or simply viral teasers but I'm going to go with the latter since the confessional-to-the-camera approach all seems a little too 'The Office' for The X-Files. Either that, or Mulder and Scully have spent the last 6 years honing their YouTube skillz. Black and White makes everything more artsy!

Enjoy the romantical teaser vids below:

Casting for 'W' Not as Bad as I Thought


If you’ve ever watched SNL and thought to yourself, “Man, this skit of George Bush is just 2 hours shy of being an Oliver Stone directed political biopic” then do I have a gift for you! Behold Entertainment Weekly's new cover!

Totally glamorized casting choices aside, I have to admit that Josh Brolin makes a surprisingly convincing ‘W’. Before this picture surfaced, I never could have imagined 'Brand' from The Goonies playing our current Commander in Chief.

On the other hand...I have no problem picturing George Bush doing the Truffle Shuffle.

Hillary Clinton Clearly Destined for White House


Last night, despite Barack Obama’s 20 delegate gain that all but secured him the Democratic presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton vowed to soldier on-- telling supporters at a rally in Indiana "it's full-speed on to the White House."

Dear Senator Clinton,

Let me be the first to congratulate you on last night’s overwhelming victory. A lot of experts said you couldn’t do it—that it was “mathematically impossible.” Ha! Math. When has that ever been a reliable statistic? And nothing proves that sentiment more than your now-clear path to a White House victory despite your opponent’s crushing 155 delegate lead.

You’ve continually made it clear that this election is not about the superficial things like “voter preference” and a need for “party unification.” No ma’am. It’s about pushing forward with reckless abandon despite those things; and, for that, I could not respect you any more than I already do. I hear even the Republican party is supporting your approach! It brings a tear to my eye to witness that kind of bi-partisan cooperation.

You’re candidacy is truly one for the history books.

Godspeed and Good Luck,
Madgiepoo

Barbara Walters is a Whore; Hates Retards


Barbara Walters was on Oprah today and decided to go public with an affair she had with a married politician in the 70’s.

After three decades of keeping mum, Barbara Walters is disclosing a past affair with married U.S. Senator Edward Brooke, whom she remembers as “exciting” and “brilliant.”

Also during the program, Walters chokes up while describing the struggles of her older sister Jackie, who was mentally retarded. Walters confesses that, as a child, she sometimes felt embarrassed by Jackie. “I didn’t bring friends home. I felt terribly guilty because she was very loving and I didn’t always feel that way.”


That’s our Babs! Nothing says “America’s Sweetheart” quite like banging a married man and selfishly resenting your disabled sister (and then going public with it in order to make more money). No wonder al Qaeda wants to kill us all.

The Lazy Blogmaster’s Post v 2.0


Movies:

What the hell is the matter with movie subtitles lately?

This might be old news but, apparently, the new Superman flick will be titled “Superman: Man of Steel.” Add that redundant gem to “The X-Files: I Want to Believe” and I’m starting to see an alarming trend.*

How long before “Transformers: Robots in Disguise” is announced?

*Retardation

Politics:

Well, now that it’s down to Obama/McCain, the Democratic party can finally focus on November. Wait, what? Hillary is still pretending she has a chance? And completely jeopardizing the entire Democratic party for her own selfish power-hungry reasons? Excellent.

Current Events:

Polygamists are the new black!—Or should I say white…..and underage….and totally mindfucked.

Television:

New episodes are back now that the delay from the WGA strike is finally over. But we may not be strike-free for long. Turns out the lowly underpaid actors are now throwing around the idea of a strike themselves. And you know what? They deserve every penny they are asking for. I mean, how is anyone supposed to survive on a paltry $250,000 per episode let alone $15 million per movie??? These people have illegitimate children to feed! And nannies to hire so they don’t really have to!


::sigh:: I hate everyone and everything.

The X-Files: I Want to Believe this title is a late April Fools Joke


Well, the official title to the upcoming X-Files movie has officially been revealed after months of secrecy and, I have to say, it totally sucks balls.

The second big-screen spinoff of the paranormal TV adventure will be called "The X-Files: I Want to Believe," Chris Carter, the series' creator and the movie's director and co-writer, told The Associated Press.

The title is a familiar phrase for fans of the series…. "I Want to Believe" was the slogan on a poster UFO-obsessed agent Fox Mulder had hanging in the cluttered basement office where he and Dana Scully worked.

"It's a natural title," Carter said in a telephone interview Tuesday during a break from editing the film. "It's a story that involves the difficulties in mediating faith and science. 'I Want to Believe.' It really does suggest Mulder's struggle with his faith."


You know, I was kind of hoping that after the first film was retardedly titled “The X-Files: Fight the Future” the producers would make up for their epic stupidity. Alas, no such luck. Oh well. At least this makes way for other rehashed X-Files movie titles such as:

“The X-Files: The Truth is Out There”
“The X-Files: Trust No One”
“The X-Files: I Still Can’t Believe They Killed Off the Lone Gunman! Oh, and Scully Giving Up Hers and Mulder's Miracle Son to Some Random Ass Farm Couple?? What was THAT about!? Fucking Retarded!”

Wait, was that last one too bitter? Rest assured, I’ll be okay. In the immortal words of The Simpsons ‘Comic Book Guy’ in reference to Star Wars: Episode 1

“Worst! Cosmic! Wars! Ever! I will only see it three more times… Today.”
