Ladies and gentlemen, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better role model than Paula Pell.

Guys I studied this academically in class today, so I’m feeling pretty confident in my choice of a major, how bout you?

I don’t know, it was in a Google Image search and it made me smile.

Okay, sure, give me comedy nerd dreams that will never come true. That’s fair.

Nick Andopolis is the love of my life… until the day comes when I meet a Nick Andopolis-Bill Haverchuck hybrid. Why don’t I watch Freaks and Geeks every day of my life??? How do I even know how life is supposed to BE without watching this show on a daily basis??

Can we just have our own Anti-Academy Awards on the same night instead? And just not pay attention to the real ones whatsoever? They’re just sooo booooring. I just don’t care about them. At alllll. Expressing my feelings about them makes me sound like a stereotypical, apathetic, exasperated teenager who’s too cool for school. But if the Oscars are school, then I am too cool for them! They’re so boring! And that’s why I propose an Anti-Oscars. I say we have our own awards show, on the same night, and nominate all the people who really deserve to be nominated. Who really did make the best movies of the year.* I’m totally envisioning this as like, what the cool kids do instead of go to prom, or something. Just like an Alternative Oscars. Alternative in the genre sense of the word as well as the traditional definition. An Alt Academy Awards. Where everyone would wear Rodarte or Alexander Wang instead of Marchesa and Valentino. And just be total badasses. And maybe Patton Oswalt could host. And like real comedy writers could write for the show instead of having to cater to 80 year old Academy members and Nielsen ratings and all that bullshit. Jesus, this turned into my very own I Have A Dream speech. I have a dream, that one day films will be recognized for actual achievement as opposed to political lobbying and other nonsensical bullshit. That one day award shows will actually be consistently and reliably entertaining. That our children may finally know the difference between sound mixing and sound editing.

*And don’t gimme nunna this Independent Spirit Awards bullshit, neither. Those are like, too indie. Mainstream movies can be good too! All of these award shows have so many rules and restrictions, and they’re all so political! Who caaaaares about any of that bullshit. I just wanna give good movies like Drive a nice firm handshake and say, “Good Job.”

You guys. You guyyyyyysssssssssssssss. Wilfred is SO. GOOD. I just finished the first season and HOLY SHIT, ho-ly-shit is all I have to say. Not really, I have a ton more to say. It’s so dark and SO weird and so, so funny, and overall just SO fascinating and SO unlike anything else on TV. I’m being so inarticulate about it! To give you an idea of how passionate I was by the end of the finale, this is what I immediately googled the second I finished the episode:

ALL CAPS, PEOPLE. ALL CAPS. I ONLY TYPE IN ALL CAPS WHEN I AM FEELING VERY INTENSELY ABOUT SOMETHING. AND I VERY INTENSELY LOVE WILFRED.

Actually shaky after watching Apocalypse Now for the first time. Holy shit. I feel like I lived Vietnam for that one. I think I have PTSD from that movie alone.

Capping off the Winter Break of My Discontent is the greatest Discontent of our time, Louis CK. There has never been and never will be a better send-off than Louie dropping in unannounced at Largo on my second-to-last night at home.

Friends With Kids looks SO good. I still haven’t seen Kissing Jessica Stein, but Ira & Abby blew me away. I think Jennifer Westfeldt is a really interesting writer with a really different point of view. I literally can’t wait until March 9 to see this… but I am going to.
