Michael Jackson's This Is It


            I couldn’t wait on this and had to write it immediately.  I’m not even proof reading until tomorrow because I actually stayed up until 7am to finish it, but posting right now.  Expect a much shorter version later, but this has everything, including a song-by-song breakdown.  Please excuse rambling.
I was lucky enough to go to the New York premiere tonight of Michael Jackson’s This Is It.  They took up the entire Regal E-Walk theater in Times Square for this.  The security was intense and surprisingly all white guys.   The tickets were not only specially made and hand delivered, but they had this subtle imprint of “MJ” strategically placed over a black spot on it.  Security guards made sure to touch every ticket to make sure it was consistent to avoid fakes.  Why they were so crazy about a movie that is released to the public two hours after the “premiere” I cannot tell you.  And since when can white guys do security like black guys.  Nobody’s scared of the white security guys, come on.

Some Funny or Die Videos I Recommend



Nick Kroll went to my summer camp, the prestigious Camp Wildwood.  He's going to be on "The League" on FX premiering soon.  Looks good.

Entourage Season Six Finale...Actually Not So Bad


I mean this in the least offensive and most complimentary way possible. The Entourage season six finale was just gay enough to be perfect. I've long ago dismissed this show as one of the worst ever, so I do not hold it to normal standards.



Last season was one of the worst I've ever watched of any show. Let's be real here. Even with an improved season six, the show settled into a format of seven or eight spec script standalone episodes (the shroom trip at Joshua Tree episode that all you fucking miscreants loved, I hate you), a prem and finale, then one or two actual long term plot oriented episodes (probably written by Weiss and/or Ellin themselves) sprinkled in here and there when Plepler had boxing to draw attention to.
