epitasis posted:PFT had to do a promo for loot crate on his new podcast and it's pretty hilarious because you know he must detest the idea of a box of nerd poo poo more than almost anything (maybe not as much as bob marley legend) Him saying that "your letter-writing campaign worked" in reference to "Princess Bride" merchandise being in the loot crate honestly might have gotten the biggest guffaw out of me for the entire episode.

WoG posted:Loot crate: 'try to convincingly pretend this isn't a box of literal garbage' I think Hollywood Handbook absolutely torpedoed their Loot Crate sponsorship this week, and it was totally worth it - Sean added "Losers" to the "Geeks, Gamers and Pop-culture Nerds" copy. It was done in a funny way but it definitely betrayed their contempt for the product. But seriously "Loot Crate is like a friend who sends you a box of gifts every month" makes it sound like some kind of really lovely emotional prostitute for shut-ins.

Loot Crate is like your grandma finding out that you like some nerdy things so she assumes you'll like every nerdy thing - and then you get 10 years of Guardians of the Galaxy stickers and Harry Potter jellybeans or whatever other thing she finds in the Wal Mart bargain bin that she thinks fits in.

I've had naturebox for about six months now and I really like it. On the other hand, I know someone who tried out Bulu Box. According to him it was three stale free samples and some weird snakeoil pills. I guess no one else liked it, because I've only seen it advertised once on CBB.

Some items my friend tried to pass off as gifts last Christmas: Guardians of the Galaxy Lego ripoffs, an awful DVD of a documentary about Marvel, a Tyrion Lannister anime doll, a Ghostbusters door hanger, and some knitted Groot socks. Do a Google Image search for "Loot Crate" and any given month and you'll see what's in there.

Things like a copy of Ready Player One are actually better than I expected, but it's still not a service for me. Didn't realize they posted past crates, which is more transparency than I might have guessed.

Next Issue still sounds really dumb, but not as dumb as when I thought "Netflix for magazines" meant they send you a magazine and you send it back when you're done.

I'm sorry, the Tom Green Show was brilliant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdfztAY3qoU Of course I also unironically love Freddy Got Fingered, a shambling mess of a movie that pulls off the "so stupid it loops back around to being smart" move with aplomb, so I'm pretty clearly biased.

I'm from his hometown, so we used to go see his cable access shows / Comedy Network show tapings. His career arc was pretty bonkers. Also used to see Jon Dore a lot around Ottawa at that time.

quote:One practice is teaching a horse how to "box" by holding them up with rope and forcing them to jab the air as if they were boxing. You haven't lived until you've seen a horse rear up on its hind legs and punch another horse in the mouth. A lot of broken jaws, quote:To teach the horse to be merciless, they are put in a fake arena with a goat which they are expected to clobber to death. If a goat appear in the first act, it's gonna die by the third.

This was a really weird episode. Tom Green seemed to treat it way too much like a standard interview show at the start and it seemed to drag on forever. It also felt like Mary Holland came in too early and didn't have much to do. Then when the character segment started it seemed to be going pretty well until he dropped the dead dog bomb. The way he just kept bringing it up and dwelling on it while everyone around him was trying to do bits felt so uncomfortable to me. Then he read off the full list of every town he's visiting on his tour. Worst first time guest ever?

I thought he was great, the listing of city names I felt was more of a bit as well as actual information. Maybe he went on about his dog too much, but he just lost his best friend 2 days ago, I'll cut him slack for that
