zooey deschanel - damn, damn, damn does this woman look good

i break out in hives every time i'm confronted for the ads for this at my bus stop

enjoying the 1960s and wearing saddle shoes does not make a person weird
she's like the reigning queen of the modcloth army (if you don't know what i'm talking about, http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=modcloth)

well, because we're sitting at the Hollywood Bowl, and we're both from California, maybe we can talk about some experiences....

Gibbard is scaring me ;_;

also i cannot figure out why ads/photos always seem to focus so much on her giant dead eyes because they are one thousand times more lightless and evil and horrifyingly empty than

wau look at Gibbard's giant melon

Why she talk to Brian like he is an idiot

i predict this sitcom will tank

it'll sink

i want to believe, but one zillion etsy-shopping kitten-loving bow-wearing twitterers make me worry

jess i dont want to dispute your facts but there are not, in fact, one zillion people who shop etsy, love kittens and wear bows

...there are ONE HUNDRED ZILLION

yeah i forgot the hundred in there. sorry.

they are all goofy/weird/zany/wacky and thirsty for blood

great, twee hipster vampires

hipster boner = paper tiger

even the undead can't resist the infantilization of our culture

mao said that, pretty sure

xp

is the new girl supposed to be like a 'we will make a show about a liz lemon type who everyone wants to fuck' show?

Briefly, she mulls over what to do with the painting of a pair of moccasins on the wall. It came with the trailer and is so hideous and comically southwestern that at first I thought Deschanel had put it there as a joke. Irony isn’t her style, though. “I’m worried if I pull these weird things down, they’re going to be mad at me,” she says. “So I’m trying to figure out something I can put oooooover this.” She demonstrates by holding up a picture of smiling lambs she happens to have lying around.

She has a band, of course, a folk-rock duo with M. Ward. As half of She & Him, she sings Shirelles harmonies, plays piano and ukulele, and writes most of the songs—well enough that, as Pitchfork.com wrote in a stunned, positive review, she’s somehow avoided “a Hollywood archetype: the actor-turned-singer-turned-punchline.”

someone had to fill the shoes lea thompson has left empty

look at her shoes

uh we're talking "manic pixie dream girl" here, not "kid's science show sidekick"

this is that chick from 'elf' right?

- america at large

She demonstrates by holding up a picture of smiling lambs she happens to have lying around.

this is fucking hilarious and almost redemption-worthy

yeah i was tempted to bold and italicize that sentence. its just... man

what, y'all don't carry paintings of the fluffiest of farm animals around with you on your various business trips, just in case the hotel art is too oogy to bear?

tbh I do have some not-as-grudging-as-it-should-be respect for ppl determined to live their lives as if they were ridiculous sitcom characters

“Kitsch causes two tears to flow in quick succession. The first tear says: How nice to see children running on the grass! The second tear says: How nice to be moved, together with all mankind, by children running on the grass! It is the second tear that makes kitsch kitsch."

me too, dan, but only if they want to be mr. belvedere or maude.

how does a lamb smile

“Kitsch causes two tears to flow in quick succession. The first tear says: How nice to see children running on the grass! The second tear says: How nice to be moved, together with all mankind, by children running on the grass! It is the second tear that makes kitsch kitsch."

that's a pretty specific reaction to define kitsch

just saying, I don't see children running on grass when I look at plastic flamingos

I have resisted typing The Smiling of the Lambs for a whole 10 minutes, I think I deserve a prize

you'll get mutton and you'll like it

I'm not going to argue about kitsch overall, but I think Kuindera's essential point is that kitsch derives from an inability or desire to deal with reality in a healthy way. I worry that Zooey may be tempted by kitsch.

idk if kitsch pertains to irl experiences tbqh, but it's one of those words like hipster that people use to suit themselves

the etsy-shopping kitten-loving bow-wearing set doesn't watch sitcoms, and if they do it's mockumentary shows, nothing like this zooey show

oh come on, I am about 100% certain there is strong overlap between the etsy demographic and the Mike and Molly demographic

is this meant to be a full 23-week thing? seems like a weird career move if so.

possibly, i just barely know what 'etsy' is beyond a pejorative cultural signifier on ilx, so i'm probably underestimating how MOR that demographic is (xpost)

etsy is basically a web-based arts-and-crafts-centric version of QVC

ZD's movie career isn't exactly setting the world on fire (it says it all that The Happening is her 2nd biggest hit of the last few years), so her sister's TV paychecks probably started looking pretty good to her

i'm very confused by what the demographic for bones is:

Procedural Full Of Attractive People is probably the broadest demo in television

yeah. guess it's just possible that she's a very limited performer and there's only a limited number of 'zooey d' roles in the movies. 'she's no rachel mcadams' - an hollywood insider.

i'm more confused why they took all the cushions off the furniture and sat on them on the floor. the chairs and couches are like right there behind them! what the hell!

Hell, y'all can hate all you want, but if (?) I had to die and I had to be looking at one thing when I died, it would be Zooey's face.
