Welcome back to another exciting installment of GTM-OE. I’m happy to be back guest-hosting while Rhett continues his experimental testing of dream-entry technology. Oh, you thought Inception, was science fiction? Just keep telling yourself that next time you’re dreaming of a centerfold sandwich at the Playboy mansion and Rhett approaches you with a silenced handgun asking about some of your inner-most thoughts. I suggest just telling him what he wants to know, lest you wish to dream of unpleasant spinal realignments. The picture above is your first clue, leave your guesses in the comments section, and I’ll update as necessary. Good luck…
Update: no correct guesses so far, but Pretty in Pink was a good attempt. You guys are back on your game. Here’s your next clue:
I’m telling you - you’re missing out on some good, original late night programming if you’re still writing off Jimmy Fallon over on NBC. I seriously think he’s doing a good job with the production and making that show his own. Here’s a great clip that explores what it’s like working for a late night talk show - and how the collaborative process over at LNWJF takes shape. Looks like a pretty sweet gig. Call me Fallon, I’m available for consultation.
Coming at you with two exciting new trailers for your viewing pleasure. Facebook and Ben Affleck; two things that could either enhance or ruin an average Thursday. You be the judge.
Taking it back to the mid-nineties for some authentic Belgian electro-pop rock. I think that’s everyone’s favorite genre of music. I know, growing up, it was certainly mine. All this time you thought Belgians were just good for waffles and frites, but they’re so much more than that. Besides housing the European Union’s capital, they produced Hooverphonic. They’ve got a rich sound that experiments not only with electronica but also with heavy orchestra accompaniment that gives them a fuller, arena-venue style. Lead singer, Geike Arnaert, has a unique tone to her voice that makes them stand out, but they’re real succes is managing to avoid the cheese-factor in their lyrics and delivery that prevents so many European bands from being successful. If you need to know what I’m talking about, just listen to German sensation Tokio Hotel’s Unchained Dogs. Hooverphonic, better than waffles? Probably not, but give them a listen any way.
Welcome back to another exciting episode of GTM-OE. I’m happy to be back guest-hosting while Rhett tours the Orient in search of the mysterious Jade Kimono Dragon. At first I thought he was just looking for a green kimono and I thought he might be dabbling in cross-dressing, but I was wrong. He’s searching for treasure. Possibly buried treasure. Rhett is Indiana Jones. The picture above is your first clue, leave guesses in the comments section and I’ll update as necessary. Good luck…
Update: we have a winner! The correct answer was City Slickers featuring everyone’s favorite calf Norman. Congratulations to the ever-wise Neal for only needing one clue to take it down. Double rainbows to you, sir. Be sure to tell all your friends how great you are Neal, but for this week only, because next week you might not be so great. Think about it. Thanks to everyone for playing and I’ll see you back here next week.
So what does being considered the standout force of hilarity in one of the most successful comedies of all time get you? Work, and lots of it. Since The Hangover made Zach Galifianakis a household name (he’s been “in the biz” for quite a while actually) he’s been possibly the busiest guy in Hollywood. The Wilkesboro, North Carolina native has already been featured in Up in the Air, G-Force and Youth in Revolt and landed a sidekick role in HBO’s comedy Bored to Death alongside Jason Schwartzman and Ted Danson. Not enough Galifianakis for you? (How could it be - this guy should be in everything) Well don’t worry, he’s got more projects coming really soon including Puss in Boots and the much anticipated Hangover 2. Below are trailers for even more of his upcoming movies, all of which look to be hilarious and awesome. Hilariously awesome. Enjoy, the year of Galifianakis is upon us.
Hailing from Northern Ireland, this band is actually signed to a French label. After a listen to the track below that will probably make sense, due to the striking similarities to France’s electro-pop darlings, Phoenix. Another MySpace band that made the jump, they’ve been touring the college scene in Europe, but did some opening act duties state-side for a fairly well known, fellow indie pop outfit called…Phoenix. Guess I’m not the only one who thinks they sound alike. I should be a record producer. Based solely on the fact that I said one band sounds similar to another.
Welcome back to another exciting summer installment of everyone’s favorite movie trivia game: GTM-OE. I’m happy to be guest-hosting while Rhett tests a new vaccine that will cure blindness and type 2 diabetes at the same time. On himself. All you type 1 sufferers hang tight - he’ll get that one too. The video above is your first clue, leave guesses in the comments section and I’ll update as necessary. Good luck…
Update: Only two guesses so far? Two? People on vacation, I guess. Well, neither of them are correct so here’s your next clue:
Update II: you guys are doing awesome - one additional guess. An incorrect one at that. Maybe Bobcats minority owner Nelly will inspire you. Here’s your final clue:
Update III: no one got it. That means I win, so good for me. the correct answer was Forces of Nature starring America’s sweetheart Sandra Bullock. Nature! It’s why I come up here. Thanks to everyone for playing and I’ll see you back here next week. Hopefully you guys will use your down time to brush up on your trivia skills. Or skillz. Those are important too.
Though I’ve been slacking on my summer movie watching, I don’t feel too bad because, quite honestly, there haven’t been that many movies out that I want to see. That being said, here are two summer movies, one already out and one coming soon, I’ll certainly regret not catching. Finally, some stuff worthy of an over-priced ticket. (Scott Pilgrim looks especially awesome - love girls with pink hair)
