Let's Procrastinate This Week!

Currently, I am working on a Physics lab for tomorrow. It involves resistors, currents, and the whole she-bang. Instead, I end up taking breaks and noticing things that can distract me.

The Ben Affleck/Kimmel Reply Video came on tonight.



Needless to say, I was disappointed. This actually felt like a summer blockbuster without the sizzle. It had a huge cast, tons of cameos, but ultimately lacked what made that first video great. What made that first video great was the surprise over how awesome Matt Damon was in the video and his ability to really outshine Sarah Silverman in the video. I'm willing to admit that Matt Damon's performance was what made me fall in love with that video. This...this just reeks of over-indulgence. Plus, the bleeps in the Silverman/Damon video were endearing and spaced out enough that it didn't interfere with the enjoyment of the song. The constant "bleeping" made it difficult to enjoy this video. Although Affleck was more hands on than his "Good Will Hunting" partner, he also just played the gay joke in a one note manner. You would think that after "Chasing Amy" (which is on Criterion, what?!), he would pick up on something. Oh well. "WHOA. They almost leaned in for a kiss. WHOA. They're not wearing shirts and putting their hands in each other's pants. Big Whoop." It's such a waste of talent too. Hell, McLovin' was in that video. It was PURE fanservice. I'm not against fan service, but this just was not that entertaining.

Harrison Ford stole the show for one scene though and provided the only "wtf" moment.



Patapon is that rare game the just SCREAMS Japanese and AWESOME-O at the same time. I love this game. This is the most innovative game design of the year and I am glad that I actually own a PSP. I just really like sending black lemming-like creatures to their doom while wielding axes and arrows. It is sheer gaming brilliance. Pata Pata Pata Pon!



Finally, I want to link to this site. It's a really cool optical illusion that focuses on the right brain vs left brain. It will fuck with your mind. Seriously.

The History between Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel

By now, we all know the song. Well tonight, it is rumored that Kimmel is going to reply back with his own video following the Oscars. I actually have no clue. However, I do think this feud is awfully hilarious. However, did we really give a shit about Jimmy Kimmel's program prior to this feud? Nope. I'm a professed admirer of Conan, Colbert, and Stewart. However, for the sake of it, I wanted to reveal that the song itself was a product of a long time fun (and scripted) feud.



Man, this almost feels real. Matt Damon is just one damn fine actor.



"The Matt Damien" thing makes me laugh. Nothing like a Hispanic stereotype mispronouncing a star's name.



I loved this. Clearly, Matt Damon is in on the joke. Although the other clips could almost act like a REAL feud.



The Matt Damon Song

Will we see the reply tonight? After seeing "Gone, Baby, Gone," my respect for Ben Affleck has arisen from...well...THE POINT is that I don't think he is a total hack. It should be funny if it airs tonight or tomorrow.
