a few of my favorite things this week
01. Gale and his rock star beard making it to Funny or Die. You guys, I'm more excited about this than I've been about any of the recent stuff he's been making. GALE DID A COMEDY SKIT WUT IS HAPPENING AND SOMEONE MAKE IT HAPPEN AGAIN. Fave part (aside from every single second of bitchy-waiter!Gale): The "Oh. Ow." from the woman after Gale smacks her with the menus lol. Her name is Tara and I've already stalked her imdb for future things of hers to watch.
02. Gale appearing in other things that are not superior comedy skits, but are still Gale Freakin' Howard and therefore relevant to my interests:
- A teaser DVD clip of Gale and Randy at the L.A. con, omg. GALE AND RANDY MAKING EACH OTHER LOL AND MAKING ME LOL AT THEM MAKING EACH OTHER LOL AND GALE LOOKING LIKE HE'S TRYING NOT TO PEE HIMSELF AND OMG PERFECTION. I will always ship them. A l w a y s. A L W A Y S S S S S S.
- An awesome little thing called Blind Turn. (vimeo) | (YouTube) I didn't know book trailers were a thing. But, hey, turns out they totally are! This one is labelled Blind Turn a novel by Todd Garlington, which I hear as Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire in my head and say it just as dramatically. So, Gale is a musician (guitar!) and looking moody and lost and scruffy and all in a pair of really tight, beat up jeans and doing his best Cory Hart impression wearing his own sunglasses at night. So basically it's Gale playing Gale on a day off. And it is hot, guh. (Of course, I'm not counting the pill-popping and desperation and what looks like some kind of payoff or debt or something adlfkjlk.) I blinked when I saw it was all filmed/etc by Shirley Petchprapa. Turns out I like her stuff when she has someone else's outline to work from, heh. Anyone read the book yet? I wanna, to picture Gale in my head as this Vincent character if nothing else.
- Defiance bloopers, AKA Gale being a sing-y dork for approximately two seconds. Starts at :10. He shows up again toward the end (in the same scene), but it's not his blooper. Why ya gotta be so professional, Galeface? Mess up more kthx. Or more like, stop being stingy with the Gale footage, SyFy. As for the other bloopers, gotta say, they make it pretty obvious that working on the show is a lot more fun than actually having to watch it.
- Another Shirley Petchprapa vid. It's basically like he's auditioning for an American Horror Story dream sequence. IDEK.
04. Cutest. goal. evah. by a toddler. He's so adorable -- arms up, yay! -- but it's the audience reaction once they realize what's happening that makes it. <3
05. Tiny knitted things! The tiny little snail! Tiny little snowmen! Tiny little hotdog! Tiny little 10 and Rose and TARDIS (that has eyes?)!
06. Leslie Knope as the Pawnee Serial Killer. Damn if NBC didn't make her a little bit scary lol. "The only thing I will be waving is your decapitated head on a stick in front of your weeping mother!"
07. This fan-made trailer for Jurassic Park 4. I'm still excited the movie is a-happening at all, I don't even care that its release date has been pushed to Sometime in 2015. Thank you, Robopocalypse, for being too expensive to produce right now. Dinosaurs eating people, I have missed you. I'm dying to know plot, but really don't care; I'll watch dinos attack space aliens at this point. But just for fun, let's read the rumored plots! It has been rumored that Jurassic Park 4 will make a return to the isle where it all began, where a new Jurassic Park has been opened and is now fully functional. But problems arise when a new dinosaur wrecks havoc on the park. Also rumored is that the sequel will introduce underwater dinosaurs never before seen in any of the previous films. --here
Mesh this with the fan-made version of everyone returning to the island for Hammond's funeral and yessssssssssssssssssss WANT. Either way, got my fingers crossed Alan and Billy show up at some point and spread their dino-loving-rainbows around the film. I still 'ship it, hell yeah. And would it be too much to ask for Ian to tag along? I don't think so, either! :D
08. My favorite song right now: Dust to Dust - The Civil Wars It's one of those songs that's so gorgeous, it can make you cry. I want it to be fanvidded for like, every fandom I'm in. (Why ya gotta break up, band, why?)
09. Starcher Trek. What is that? Only the best thing to ever happen to the TOS animated series, aka footage dubbed with Archer audio. Yes, it is as awesome as you're envisioning, my friends. The second ep just went up. \:D/
10. Many TV things that I will save for a separate post cos, yeah, SO MANY TV THINGS.
11. Seeing both ST: Into Darkness and FATF 6 for the third time this week. I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH.
12. Q: Is there any better way to end a post than with Benedict Cumberbatch loling for 30 seconds straight? A: AHAHAHAHA NO.
