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

I saw She & Him a year or so ago, a big outdoor show, packed, and all night I kept asking people to name three movies she was in. The response was always " Elf, 500 Days of Summer .... uh ..." Every once in a while someone would mention "Almost Famous," or "Hitchhiker's Guide." But for someone a) famous and b) who has been in a lot of movies, it's hard to say just what movies have made her famous.

Am I the only one who saw The Go-Getter? It was, uh, kind of cute if you like that sort of thing.

i seriously don't understand why my perfectly harmless name keeps getting dragged into terrible twee television comedies.

this is a sign that you should start wearing babydoll tees and taping barrettes to your head

I think it's because your name is "jess" iirc

you leave '90s drew barrymore out of this, damn you

O_O

Drew Barrymore was the last iteration of this we had, wasn't she

Ben Gibbard is Bono. He is not Eric Erlandson or Fabrizio Moretti.

Zooey D is a little like someone merged Drew Barrymore and Juliette Lewis and then gave the resulting paste offspring a trucker hat with fairy wings

worst version of the fly ever

Starting off with her talking about horror movies for the BIG EYES LOL

Just made it to the theme song (which she sings!) and then it cut to a commercial and i thought "Do i want to watch 45 seconds of commercials to see the rest of this show" and I was like nah.....

i am married to a Cute American and do not hate all adult women who are openly engaged in Cute interests and personal habits. my distaste for ZD has more to do with her lousy music, played out fashion sense, unremarkable acting, mostly terrible acting projects, blank personality and puzzling belief that she has comedic talent.

this 100% fwiw btw

tempted to say she didn't really enter public consciousness until 500days, when she became the entire pursuit of the movie

same way i didn't give a damn about cameron diaz until There's Something About Mary. sometimes you just need a leading role, even if the leading role isn't a leading one at all and you just play some cute, innocent shmo-shmo who the audience develops a pseduo-obsession with because seemingly so many ppl in this movie are doing the same

makes some sense

What was the Tim Allen/Dave Barry movie? Big Trouble?

Oh yeah, I forgot about Yes Man.

oh yeah Big Troule was dope

I thought Big Troule's last mixtape was a step down, actually.

fuggin' yahoo frontpage has a flashing annoyance where the banner advert takes over the middle of the screen and she dances around quirkily

Yeah, I saw that this morning and grimaced

Dude next to me here in the airplane is reading USA Today. Her photo's in the top corner with the tagline "Sweet and Edgy".

she's the Miracle Whip of It Girls...

The show wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Well, her character at least. I'm all about making up songs for my dogs. Her awkward moments ranged from lame to funny. I'll probably watch another episode

making up songs for your dogs is regrettably not all you are about.

i just saw this on an airplane too. not that bad, zd's character is more believable and likable than i was expecting. there was srsly 0% "hipster" content.

but most of the humor is based on "LOL CHICKS/LOL DUDES". no real desire to see another episode, but that's based more on how i don't really enjoy most sitcoms.

had already watched the pilot on demand barely paying attention, ended up rewatching some of it while waiting for Raising Hope to start and it was better than i remembered (or noticed) the first time. but a lot of that owes to the guys in the cast, and a lot of that owes to the guy that only did that one episode and then ended up in Happy Endings.

i dunno if this show was ever pitched as being hipstery or about hipsters tbh -- just a lot of magazine profiles going COULD THE NEXT BIG TV STAR BE MRS. DEATH CAB? etc

I make up songs for the dog on a daily basis p much.

he already has a theme song!

Ha true. The most recent was 'He's a woofer" set to the theme of "He's a Rebel" cause he was being noisy and wouldn't shut up. I had hoped my singing would soothe and quiet him. It did not.

ha this is OTM, I am very sad to see DWJr leave the cast

I wonder if they are going to do anything with the whole "we have two new roommates but the show is going to focus on the famous one" scenario they've set themselves up for.

in the fall tv thread i believe i suggested the title change "The New Girl, The New Black Guy And A Pizza Place"

ha yeah, I saw that

I was mad that I couldn't find a link to the theme song yesterday to torture strongo but searching "new girl theme song" today has been a bonanza

lol last night I was singing 'I was made for throwing your toy and you were made for fetching it' to little Max ;_;

"new girl" got hella ratings, hope u guys are ready for 3+ years of zooey-mania

Ten million USA Today readers cannot be wrong.

kinda want to see this show only so I can get annoyed by it

The pilot is pretty funny, certainly stronger than, say any random episode of "Happy Endings" (which I like)

yeah honestly its not really 'annoying' just sorta 'mediocre'

happy endings is funnier imo

"Happy endings ARE funnier."

is there really a sitcom named Happy Endings

...I'm all about making up songs for my dogs...

― that's cute, but it's WRONG (CaptainLorax)

making up songs for your dogs is regrettably not all you are about.

― estela

I don't think that having a life consisting entirely of making up songs for my dogs would be as glamorous and enjoyable as you might think it would be

there is only one DWJr for me

"Time of My Life" shit was awful. Otherwise, not bad. I'll watch the next episode. She somehow managed to sell a character I'd probably find unbearable played by anyone else.

the "Time Of My Life" shit was hilarious, esp. since the douchebag roommate was the only one who knew the words (also the quickness with which they were kicked out of the restaurant; btw was the hostess the bad cop from the new Charlie's Angels?)

Surprisingly, Zooey not the most annoying face on that record cover.
