Exploring YouTube is toxic

So I was on YouTube looking to see if there were other Rhydian videos to replace the ones I had embedded in my first Rhydian post, which were taken down for copyright infringement when I accidentally came across this backstage footage of the Rhydmonster. For the bit that made me explode in laughter, fast forward to about 1:50 in:

Until that unique display, I was really feeling bad for Rhydian. What context would people have to call him Hitler? I don't remember him talking about a master race the first week. I must've missed that bit

We Just Love Wino

Following up on our earlier post, here's a little more Wino content from Never Mind the Buzzcocks. This time around, new host Simon Amstell presents his personal theory about what happened to Amy:


I guess enabling (and allegedly fucking) young celebs runs in the family. Who am I kidding, I would so hit that. Even if he turned me into a half-naked, stumbling crackhead, which is clearly what he likes to do to young Jewish girls. Ronson hates the Jews. Bitch is like Ryan Gosling in The Believer.

Robin Hood

Soon-to-be-Grandpa Keith Allen steals yet another scene in the BBC's Robin Hood. This was the best thing in all of Season 2 so far. I told you guys this show was bad.

What does this remind me of........

Vintage Wino

BBC Three named Amy Winehouse as their most annoying person of 2007. In recognition of that honour, Kongye has decided to devote a post in loving tribute.

What most Americans may not know is that Wino used to be more famous for her singing than for all that other, much more interesting stuff. Here is some video, circa 2004:

In this video we can see she used to be normal- but she also used to be fat. So maybe it's a tossup between which is better. At least now she can walk around in a bra and skinny jeans without some muffin top.

Even more amazing, here's some more footage of Wino from that show. In this clip she's not only lucid, she can actually remember the lyrics to her own song!

Merry Christmas to Kongye

Charlie Wilson's War- Why?

Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts demonstrate how stomach-turning AARP sex can be

Kongye had a chance to attend an early screening of this hot mess on Wednesday night. Perhaps a full review will come later. For now, some thoughts:

This movie was apparently written by Aaron Sorkin. This was a fact I knew; but was not specifically aware at the screening. Within 10 minutes, that information shoved its way straight to the front of my mind and all I could think was "this is SO Sorkin." If you are a steadfastly loyal Sorkin fan salivating at every line written to be delivered at the speed of a Swedish bullet train and saturated in too-clever-for-their-own-good quips, you will probably get a kick out of this movie. If you haven't had a lobotomy, the writing will drive you absolutely insane.

I don't understand the thought process behind casting Julia Roberts as a sultry seductress and Southern socialite (sorry for the unintentional alliteration, I feel positively Sorkinesque now). Obviously she is bloody awful. The only way to describe her character, as Roberts portrays her, is that she is playing Melanie Griffith's older, more grotesque sister from Viva Laughlin. She is just that bad.

As expected, Philip Seymour Hoffman turns in an absolutely brilliant performance- too bad he seems to be in a completely different movie; one I'd actually want to see. He steals every scene and is the only funny or captivating component of this generic Oscar-bait star vehicle.
