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

well i for one learned jon and erica have beef

lol

nah, not really

i learned that the "so, what lessons did we learn from this entire phenomenon?" meme isn't as funny if you paraphrase it

lol i forgot abt that one/ hadn't considered applying it to non-musical phenomenons

While my language was a little dramatic, I still think that it's OK something looks like crap before you've seen or heard it and you're all lying if you claim to never have done/thought that.

"that it's OK to think that something looks like crap . . . "

Of course thats OK to do! Just don't cast aspersions on how other people might possibly be enjoying said thing though.

^aspersions (multiple xposts)

I barely watch this show but Schmidt seems the funniest to me. There was an end sequence where he complained that he couldn't find his driving moccasins and I was like "Oh shit, he is basically Tom Haverford."

Oh yeah Schmidt is definitely the best part of the show, the montage with the douchebag jar was great.

imo the funniest episodes are "Bells", "Bad in Bed" and "The Landlord"

honorable mention to "The 23rd" and "The Story of the 50"

"it's in my room next to my irish walking cape"

Watched the first four episodes of New Girl a while back. It was horrible. Did it improve like 1000x?

Yes. I'd probably recommend "Jess and Julia", actually. It's a total trad sitcom though.

zooey is pretty much exactly the same, but they've done a decent job fleshing out the guys

I thought she was slightly less ditzy in the last two episodes, but that could be a transient thing.

i think they realized she can't be that one-dimension AND stay the main character, it's like if "Friends" was called "Phoebe"

one-dimensional

Yeah, I don't think she's stayed exactly the same either. She's much less awkward and doesn't randomly burst into song nearly as much. I feel like she even dresses differently but maybe I'm misremembering.

She doesn't seem to dress quite so hideously as she does in the opening titles and did in the first few episodes, when she wore clothes that seemed specially designed to make her look gawky and terrible, like Harrison Ford's clothes in Mosquito Coast.

Now I feel like creating a Harrison Ford in "Mosquito Coast - damn, damn, damn does this man look good" thread but I will abstain.

they really need to ditch those opening titles

or at least play the whole thing so it's clear the guys are very obviously being put upon

She doesn't seem to dress quite so hideously as she does in the opening titles and did in the first few episodes, when she wore clothes that seemed specially designed to make her look gawky and terrible, like Harrison Ford's clothes in Mosquito Coast.

Yeah, that's the thing: the show initially seemed to be making the bold move of casting a popular attractive actress as a fairly unattractive character who was almost painfully awkward. ("Bold" != "fun to watch") The character seems much more comfortable and conventionally feminine in some ways now, more of a 'cute girl who likes ribbons and cupcakes'. (And it happened too fast to fall into an 'ugly duckling' narrative arc.)

awesome photoshop action, folks:

LOL

Alessandra Rizzotti is a former child model who currently works for the R-rated cartoon show Family Guy. She’s written for Smith, Heeb and Neave's online magazines, and has been published in two Harper Perennial books. Alessandra lives in Silverlake where she makes terrariums and spends time with her five animals, Maude the dog, cats Hunter, Max and Princess Bunny Buttons, as well as her boyfriend, who she affectionately calls "Bear". You can see more of her work here and there, but maybe just follow her everywhere.

I can't.

i know! i too was terribly bothered by the missing animal. maude, hunter, max and princess bb = four, only four!

slipshod imo

the fifth animal is her boyfriend

"Bear"

It's confusing.

I would say "...spends time her five animals: Maude the dog; cats Hunter, Max, and Princess Bunny Buttons; and her boyfriend, whom she affectionately calls 'Bear.'"

what a surprisingly horribly formed joke from someone who thinks it's funny to name their pet "princess bunny buttons"

can I just say, byline photos like hers are one of my biggest pet peeves

like, if that's what you're going to go with, why don't you just put up a picture of smiley face and rainbows wrapped around a unicorn and call it day

i like adventure time, am not above "princess bunny buttons"

lol the text box that pops up if you scroll your mouse over the picture is 'AlessandraRizzotti_childmodel_familyguy'

"Alessandra lives in Silverlake where she makes terrariums"

Why point out that Family Guy is R-rated?

especially since it isn't

b/c she's "naughty"

it kind of is

i mean TV 14 is probably the closest analogue to an R rating if we're comparing TV content ratings and movie content ratings (xpost)

there's nothing on non-cable network television that wouldn't appear in a PG-13 movie

where she makes terrariums

How does someone 'make' a terranium? You fling a load of soil and plants into a fishbowl, that's it!
