Donald Glover A.K.A Childish Gambino Creating New Series For FX
“Donald Glover has lined up his followup series to Community. The actor-comedian is set to write, executive produce and play the lead in a half-hour comedy, which has landed at FX for development. Tentatively entitled Atlanta, the comedy is set against the backdrop of the Atlanta music scene. Glover grew up in Atlanta and has an active music career as a hip-hop artist, stage name Childish Gambino. I hear several networks were interested in Atlanta but, in addition to the FX comedy brand, Glover also was attracted by the network’s willingness to accommodate his music touring schedule. Glover is free and clear to topline Atlanta as he is no longer a regular on Community and is set to appear in five of the 13 episodes of the cult NBC comedy’s upcoming fifth season. Last season, Glover was attached in second position to an NBC comedy project penned by Matt Hubbard. Glover, repped by CAA, The Schiff Co. and attorney Lev Ginsburg, started off as a writer on 30 Rock before landing the breakout role on Community as former high school quarterback-turned-air conditioning repair annex recruit Troy Barnes. He also has headlined two standup comedy specials.” – Deadline
While the details are still relatively unknown, this is a huge step for one of my favorite actors/musicians and someone very high on my “Please Host SNL List”. Glover knows comedy. Gambino knows music. What better mix than a comedic show about the Atlanta music scene? FX is a perfect network for a young mind such as Glover’s, as they’ve been known to give show runners creative control over their projects (just ask Louie C.K.). Glover’s series will join an already stacked lineup of original FX shows including Louie, Justified and Sons of Anarchy. One more reason to get excited for the future of TV.

Groby The Two Legged Chihuahua Is My Soup Snake
“It was just another day in a quiet Los Angeles suburb when a horrifying discovery was made. One of the neighbors had just lost her house. The interior was absolutely destroyed and smelled of filth and decay. Among the wreckage was 40 dogs. No one had even known the dogs were in the house. The neighbors had never seen any of the animals — because the animals had never been allowed outside. Nor had they ever received medical treatment, socialization, or any of the other things most dogs need to live happy, fulfilled lives. They were sick, unkempt, and fearful. Even worse, the dogs were not spayed or neutered, and there were not only puppies, but dogs pregnant with yet more litters. Because the dogs had lived unfixed in isolation, they had bred with one another, causing various birth defects among them. One of those unfortunate puppies is Groby Pedroni. Groby was born without front legs.” – dogster.com
Such a heartbreaking story, but I’m glad we found some semblance of a silver lining. And that silver lining is now my soup snake. Groby Pedroni (awesome chihuahuah name) has stole my heart and I don’t care who knows it. More style with those two front wheels that you and I could ever dream about. If your a dog lover such as myself, check out the link at the top of the post. Dogster is doing some truly great things. Don’t forget to give Groby a shoutout on his well deserved Facebook page as well: https://www.facebook.com/GrobyPedroni

Troy Walker: Screwjob Or Choke City?
I’m torn on this one. On the one hand that first throw looked pretty good. Judging by his previous perfect throws it probably would’ve been a strike, he gets a 300 at a charity bowling event, and no one ever knows he existed. Instead, fate intervened in the form of a premature pinsetter. My question is does this count as choking? Technically he got another chance for a perfect score. He had to absolutely lose it on the inside when only 7 pins went down. Went home and drank a bottle of whiskey and broke every mirror in his house. Guy’s who throw 297’s at charity bowling events literally live for that shit, especially the one’s who show no emotion. If that was me I’d be screaming and yelling, getting the crowd into it. Where’s your showmanship Troy? On second thought I’m glad you didn’t get a perfect score you snob. I hope the number 297 haunts you for the rest of your days.

P.S. Hey Troy, who do you think you are?! I am! Get it right!

A 22-Mile Swim Isn’t Enough for “The Shark”
A long-distance swimmer who calls himself “The Shark” is ready to jump into Lake St. Clair for a 30-hour, 22-mile dip. If that isn’t enough, Jim Dreyer plans to haul dinghies filled with 2,000 pounds of bricks. The 49-year-old has made direct crossings of each of the five Great Lakes. He plans to begin his latest swim Monday from a spot near Algonac, and it’ll end Tuesday at Detroit’s Belle Isle. And he’s doing it without a support boat. One of the dinghies is equipped with a radar target so Dreyer will show up on radar screens of passing freighters. He has to feed himself and won’t leave the water until coming ashore in Detroit.
Dreyer is trying to raise money and awareness for Habitat for Humanity. – NBC25
2,000 pounds of bricks? You don’t say? I guess a man who calls himself “The Shark” has to up the ante when a 22-mile swim just isn’t enough for him. To add to the insanity of swimming across one of the great lakes with no support boat, his destination is Detroit! Who in their right mind makes there final stop the city of Detroit. I can see the finish line now, Jim gets held up at gun point and his bricks get stolen. Two tons of bricks must have a high street value in Detroit about this time. God speed, sir.
2 Guns Was Exactly What I Expected, And That’s A Good Thing
Movies are bound to let you down. They’re billion dollar a year businesses, with most of that money coming from advertising. With those billions of dollars, movie companies are able to hire the most talented and creative people for their projects. As fans, we’re subjected to months of trailers, talk show interviews and behind the scenes featurette’s that hype each individual movie as “the next big thing”. Pessimists almost automatically disqualify the movie as a failure. Optimists, such as myself, get sucked up in the hype, and no matter how many bad reviews they read, will spend money to see that movie in the theater.
For 2 guns, the action comedy starring Mark Wahlberg, Denzel Washington and (gasp) Bill Paxton, I tried a different approach: dissect the movie and the hype surrounding it with a realistic attitude. So many really good movies have been ruined because of an out of this world trailer. For example, the trailer for Superman: Man of Steel was one of the best trailer’s I’ve ever had the privilege of watching. The movie was good, but after watching the trailer 40 times, you unfairly expect a cinematic masterpiece, thus clipping it’s wings before it ever got a chance to fly.
Back to 2 Guns. When the trailer’s were first released and I heard who the 3 top billed stars were, it was almost impossible not to get sucked up in the hype. Marky Mark and Denzel as a good guy tag team against an evil Bill Paxton?! I felt like I died and went to movie heaven. Then I thought of Superman. And I remembered how a great trailer and massive hype ruined a movie I really wanted to enjoy. As I entered the theatre for 2 Guns, I was ready to watch a good/really good movie. Not a bomb, not a masterpiece. 2 hours of witty one-liners, impressive explosions and the guaranteed shot of a sexy Spanish woman’s boobs that are in every Denzel Washington movie (see Training Day, Flight, 2 Guns). That’s exactly what I got. Leaving the theater, I was glad I had realistic expectations for the film, but it still felt bittersweet. The Golden Age of Cinema is so far gone that you couldn’t see it with a telescope in your rear view mirror, but at least now I see modern movies for what they really are.
The bigger theme here, at least in my opinion, is how the once great praise we had for movies are now shifting to TV. Go anywhere in the country and you can converse with someone who feels the same way you do about Mad Men, or Breaking Bad, or Sons Of Anarchy. I doubt the same can be said about 2 Guns.

Ryan’s Even Better Music Monday – Mumford & Sons – Hopeless Wanderer Parody
This is easily the funniest and most disturbing music video you’ll ever see. Anytime you can get Ed Helms, Jason Sudekis, Jason Bateman and Will Forte on the same stage, you get a certain kind of magic. The best part about this video is how similar it is to an actual Mumford & Sons music video (minus the making out). Speaking of the french kiss sequence, if it’s wrong to watch Jaaon Sudekis and Will Forte make out, then I don’t wanna be right.
– Ryan
P.S. Proof positive that Will Forte is so underrated it hurts. MacGruber has it.
P.P.S. Mumford & Sons actually hired Sudekis, Forte, Helms and Bateman to impersonate them. All kinds of awesome.
