Took a break from reading BBs. Went out, bought chocolate (necessity. Been craving chocolate since Wednesday), came back, watched a full season of "Daria", and now I have links!

1. Amidst calls to sue the Failbender filmmakers, scathing reviews and general waves of schadenfreude, came an interesting theory today about why exactly M. Night Shyamalan just doesn't get how racist and horrible the movie he's made is, using the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

Quoth the wise LJer's quote: “When people are incompetent in the strategies they adopt to achieve success and satisfaction, they suffer a dual burden: Not only do they reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the ability to realize it. Instead, like Mr. Wheeler,* they are left with the erroneous impression they are doing just fine.” (Justin Kruger and David Dunning, “Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties of Recognizing One’s Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-assessments,” Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 1999, vol. 77, no. 6, pp. 1121-1134.)

DING DING DING! I think we have a winner. I also agree with what [livejournal.com profile] cleolinda says, which is essentially wondering why the hell do studios still give budgets to his flops, and why he still insists on calling every movie he makes "M. Night Shyamalan's _______". Well, maybe this time he'll get a wake-up call. The box office has still not spoken yet officially, but it seems the new Twilight atrocity is cramming Failbender's ass, so uh, score for sparkles?

2. Speaking of seriously mistranslated stuff, here's a list of 8 Historic Symbols That Mean The Opposite of What You Think. I particularly enjoy the inverted cross one, mostly because of the following joke: By wearing an upside-down cross, Satanists are unwittingly showing humility and unworthiness before Christ. That makes about as much sense as a neo-Nazi sticking it to the Jews by swearing off pork for life. Take that!

But hey, it's probably funnier in Enochian anyway.

3. Lady Gaga apparently rented the blandest, most mainstream Hollywood mansion she could possibly find. Here's to the Bacchanalian orgies yet to come!

4. Speaking of Lady Gaga, have a look-see at Johnny Weir's closet! Oh, I hear your fail puns a mile away, but I have two words for you: BALENCIAGA. TREE.

5. And oh! who will save Lady Newsweek from her distressing singleness? The old man, the financial shark or the NYT Overlord? Quick, someone fetch the smelling salts.

ETA: Forgot! Here is your moment of Zen:

Not even the last Harry Potter movie could escape the blue-orange curse of movie posters:




And now, back to BBs. :D

Mostly because I don't want to see the Avatar and Twilight Show, and I don't think Sandra Bullock could ever be an Oscar worthy actress, come on.

1. There has been a sighting of the Padaleckis and the Ickys!

Dear Jared Padalecki,

You are donning one of the most douchebaggy flight outfits I have ever seen. You do know Lady Gaga is doing it for show, right?

Squinting,

Moonay

PS: Stop dragging your wife behind you, that's extra douchebaggy points.

--

Dear Genevieve Padalecki(?),

THAT SCARF GURL. It's like red screaming at me. You're cute though. And TINY.

Thinking you are way more likable this way than as Ruby,

Moonay

--

Dear Jensen Ackles,

Aw, don't be annoyed at the paps! They're really there for Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger, not to catch you being the utterly whipped fiancé that you are, toting your precious little pooch around.

Not sniggering at you I SWEAR,

Sniggering Moonay

PS: A skull cap? Oof man. That's a rough look to pull off.

--

Dear Icarus Harris-Ackles,

BOOYAH.

Cuddlelove,

Moonay

--

2. Advice RDJ meme of epicness

Oh yes, you know you wanna. :D

3. The Soup Awards!

I've never seen so many repulsive clips of repulsive people I've never wished to see in one place, presented so fucking amusingly. You go, 4th Best Jon Stewart (Albeit With Rocking Body). :D

1. WHAT IS RPATTZ DOING ON "THE DAILY SHOW" TONIGHT? WHAT? HOW DOES HE DESERVE TO GO ON "THE DAILY SHOW"? I've been shouting about this EVERYWHERE today ever since I caught up with yesterday's show. WHY, JON STEWART. WHY?

...Okay, so maybe he's a little bit funny. It should be said, however, that Jimmy Fallon pretty much went through his entire funny quota for the YEAR in that segment. And yes, he is about to become a wax figure on Madame Tussauds which will repeatedly get molested by Twitards (and possibly they'll have to get security for it). But STILL. JON STEWART. RPATTZ. JON STEWART.

...AAAAAAAAAAARGH!

I'M BOTHERED, OKAY?

Bring me that Stephen Colbert/Johnny Weir interview I KNOW you're hiding, Comedy Central, to compensate for the FAIL.

ETA: No more Daily Show and Colbert Report on Hulu? FAAAAAAAAAIL FAAAAAAAAAAIL FAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL

2. Feeling like reading a Leno bash for coming back last night? Look no further! Complete with frothing and snarking.

3. IT'S TIME FOR YOU KNOW WHAT, PEOPLE!



MAY THE BEST SUPERNATURAL CHARACTER WIN!

1. Happy slightly-belated birthday, Jensen Ackles! You are beautiful, you make Dean Winchester awesome and you like Eddie Izzard. Oh, and your fiancée rocks. I LIKE YOU A LOT. Here, have an epic picspam!

2. So there's this picspam of Johnny Weir and Stephane Lambiel and it's like the OTP I never knew I fangirled. I've never even SEEN Lambiel skate, and yet I ship this in a J2-ish way that alarms me.

3. That is probably the best commercial I have EVER SEEN. I'M ON A HORSE.
