OMG TV: Maybe it’s pronounced Soo-Foo

Warehouse 13

9:00 (Syfy or whatever)

How the hell do you pronounce Syfy anyway?  See-fee?  Si-fi?  Syuff-fuff?  Sikkle-fickle?  Series premiere of a new Soff-foff original tonight, be there!

Burn After Reading

8:00 (HBO)

Many like to pan the Coen Bros. when they dabble in comedy, but how can you not adore Brad Pitt and George Clooney’s performances in this film? And J.K. Simmons!

South Park

9:00 (Comedy Central)

It’s been a rough day on all of us what with the Michael Jackson Memorial and, more importantly, the Michael Jackson Memorial Coverage. Unwind with a little time in the cruder parts of Colorado.

Late Night

Samuel Motherfucking Jackson and Entourage’s Kevin Connolly are on Conan (with Andrew Bird), Brüno desecrates Letterman’s set, and then I hope you liked last week’s Stewart and Colberts the first time, because they’re on again!

Multiplex Madness: The New Adventures of Stifler and McLovin

Posted by Jeff in , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Welcome back to Ye Olde Multiplex Madness, or as we like to call it, That Column Jeff Gets To Sometimes But If He Doesn’t, No Big Deal Because We Weren’t Exactly Waiting On Tenterhooks To Hear What He Had To Say About High School Musical 3.  Yes, with that “tenterhooks” reference, I have officially become Dave Barry.

New Releases

Role Models

(RT: 73%) It’s usually not a good sign for a film when two of your lead actors are better known as their high-school comedy goofus character nicknames than by their dignified, three-part real names.  Still, the Adventures of Stifler, McLovin, and the brother from Clueless are actually, honestly supposed to be pretty good – director David Wain (The State, Stella) seems to have won most critics over.  Featuring the omnipresent and delectable Elizabeth Banks doesn’t hurt either.

More new releases, something better to do, and Ebert after the jump. Keep reading

OMG TV: Mr. T for Secretary of Defense

Posted by Jeff in , , , , , , , , , ,

8:00 – Rocky III (AMC)

Announcement from AMC: In light of yesterday’s historic election results, the end Rocky III has been reedited to let Mr. T win.  That is all.

10:00 – South Park (Comedy Central)

Matt and Trey chime in with some election humor.  Election humor?  That is so yesterday.  And the 700 days before it.  New national meme: hobo humor.  (Side note: Gawker runs down some of South Park‘s past forays into Doonesbury territory.)

10:30 – Chocolate News (Comedy Central)

Giving David Alan Grier’s show another week isn’t just compassionate charity, it’s an investment.  Because if we keep watching, it has to get better, right?  Right?

Late Night

Tom Brokaw calls the election on Letterman, Samuel L. Jackson yells a lot on Leno, Dennis Hopper has an acid flashack on Conan, Fox News flack Chris Wallace flacks on the Daily Show, Ambassador Andrew Young retains his title despite not being an ambassador since the gosh darn seventies on Colbert.

As previously tagged, it was a slow day on the ol Internets.  But here’s what kept nagging at us to leap out there into the ether:
