This week brings lying scales, gross hotel rooms, celebrity gossip, used cars, HIV, Universal Studios fail, sitcoms without laugh tracks, and some great advice for winter.

Unlike Andy, I enjoy a good chick flick. This, however, looks like a horrible chick flick…
Even the trailer is horrible! I know we complain a lot that the trailer “shows the whole movie,” but this one totally did. Step by step to what is assuredly the ending! It is obvious to anyone who has ever seen a movie before that she will accept her boyfriend’s proposal, then break it off at the last second to get together with the douche who drove her across Europe for the sole purpose of proposing to her boyfriend.
This is an annoying staple of these “chick flicks” the girl is with a guy but then breaks it off at the last second to be with some other guy. (Sleepless in Seattle, Sweet Home Alabama, Runaway Bride, Titanic, the Wedding Planner, the Wedding Singer, etc). I love this message. “Hey ladies, no matter how close you are to marriage, feel free to ditch the guy who loves you and has been with you all this time at the last second because you met a new guy.”

In another fail-filled episode, Tim spends Thanksgiving in Disneyland, Andy meets a coked up stripper, Noah learns some lessons from his November fast, Noah reviews Ninja Assassin, Tim gets annoyed by bad parents, Andy ponders the psychology of D.P. porn, and finally the wheels come off as usual. (FYI- alternate titles considered for this episode were, “Hate It Forward,” “A Tiny Taste of the Zeitgeist,” “The Tim Flu,” and “Noah Somehow Makes it Gay.” Did we make the right choice?)

I played a lot of inFAMOUS (I guess that’s how it’s styled) on my PS3 over the long weekend. It’s a fun game, but that shit really screws with your head after a while. I find myself looking at tall buildings like I should climb them in search of power-ups, manhole covers like I should drop in to complete missions, and homeless people like I should try electrocuting them (SPOILER ALERT).
It reminds me of how I and the other TANlads could always tell whether we’d played Grand Theft Auto 3 or Grand Theft Auto: Vice City more recently by whether or not we wanted to steal police cars. In GTA 3 those things had great handling and could take a ton of damage, but in GTA:VC they drove like top-heavy boats.
Then there was Spider-Man 2 on the Xbox and Tim pretending to web-sling and swing through the house and down the halls at his old job.
Maybe that’s the hallmark of a good sandbox game: the degree to which you get mindfucked by it…
PS: 10 TANpoints to the first comment that knows where this post’s title comes from. Don’t be lazy and Google for it. The points are completely worthless.

This week, Noah joins Twitter, Andy slams the Darwin Awards movie, Tim visits the Walt Disney Family Museum, the boys play “Guess her Muff” (those two really shouldn’t have followed each other), Noah presents another installment of his “Cooking By The Book” feature, Tim and Noah get into a stupid argument, and Andy reviews the season finale of South Park.

That’s right we’re back for the next round of America’s favorite new game show…
Back in round 1, Possible Douche 1 knew the secret hiding spots of two stopped clocks in Disneyland and wouldn’t tell Possible Douche #2 (or the rest of the members of the Disney chat board they were on). One was revealed to be in Sleeping Beauty Castle…but Possible Douche 1 refused to reveal the location of the other clock. Then Possible Douche 2 deliberately wasted Possible Douche 1’s time claiming to have other information Possible Douche 1 was seeking.

This week, Tim revisits the eternal million dollar question, the boys discuss Body Mass Index (BMI), Tim and Noah have the great Pizza debate, Tim and Andy make fun of contestants on game shows, Tim bemoans the mediocrity of the “CSI Trilogy” (Plus The Mentalist, House, and Fringe), Tim and Andy hate on Star Trek: Voyager, Andy tells a “had to be there story,” and the show ends as it should…as it must…with talk of poop.

For those of you who “missed” Carrie Prejean’s interview on Larry King live. (“I wouldn’t say I ‘missed it,’ Bob”) You should check out this video. If you get passed her sucking Sarah Palin’s floppy dick, you can watch her be an idiot and almost walk off the show (Starting at about 0:55)
So unless you actually have the brain of a beauty pageant queen, you know that the question was not at all inappropriate. She really just didn’t want to admit that the lawsuits were about money and fame more than some ethical position. She didn’t have a good answer, so she jumped straight into offended mode.
Well, Miss Prejean, if you’d like to be offended here are 5 questions Larry SHOULD have asked you: Read the rest of this entry »
