season 1 was amazing. season 2 was the shit (minus a couple post-writers strike stuff). season 3 had amazing highs and lows. and season 4 (for me anyway) has been absolutely brutal as a whole. i know my standards are ridiculously high but i feel really disappointed so far this year.
Since Gawker already announced that the only NBC show they watch is 30 Rock, you missed the fact that The Office limited their "green" part to a Dwight joke at the very beginning of the episode, and Community satirized Green Week by having the dean of the community college start a Green Week that no one was interested in.
@VioletViolet: I feel the urge to reply because I enjoy Community so much. And a college named Greendale being renamed Envirodale and everyone rolling their eyes? Classic.
I am quite sure that requiring little bits cheerleading for generic green is much cheaper than cleaning up the vast lakes of PCB spewed into the rivers by GE over decades. And why is it the corporations who whine about government interference always shuck off the results of their own enterprise onto taxpayers? Read all about it in this month's Harpers, and laugh at 30 Rock, and don't never ever fish in the Hudson, ever.
This was a pretty funny scene in last night's episode. However, the one that sent me into convulsions laughing was Kathy Geiss channeling Britain's Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle at the auditions. Hysterical! #30rock
Queerty had a pretty good piece on the reasons why Hugh Jackman widely thought gay. Main argument: his wife is 14 years older. (Though by that standard, Demi Moore should be Ashton Kutcher's beard.)
And Defamer identified the John thanked in the Australian actor's Emmy acceptance speech in 2005: he's Jackman's longtime assistant and business partner John Palermo.
@Nick Denton: I think he's gay because I saw him at the Kylie Minogue concert a few weeks ago. There was not a straight man within 20 blocks of the Hammerstein Ballroom that evening. #30rock
@Nick Denton: As long as people who are ostensibly supportive of gay rights, whether they are straight or gay, continue to treat homosexuality as if it's some secret crime to be discovered, they are exacerbating the perception of homosexuality as sinful and otherized.
The gay rights movement remains positive as long as it's a movement of liberation, and it is only a movement of liberation as long as it allows people to self-identify. #30rock
@ArmCandy: It actually says he lived on Jackman's property, in a bungalow. Definitely still noteworthy, though.
Also interesting, from that link: Jackman wears a band from Palermo "opposite his wife's wedding band: 'It was given to me by John when we started our production company,' revealed H.J. 'In Sanskrit is written the basic principles of our company.'"
Oh, looks like Island got there first re the ring...
@Freddie DeBoer: I agree with what he said--it's hateful. He's not an asshole and he's not homophobic. If he's gay...probably the only person who has legitimate cause to upset is his wife (and, I suppose his kids, but his being gay doesn't change the sort of father he is...might change how asshole kids and their asshole parents might regard the family though, which is unfortunate).
That said...I think part of the joke is that Hugh Jackman is gay (based on what, that he can do musicals? Good for him), won't admit it, and therefore deserves scorn because he's hiding something.
It isn't that being gay itself is shameful (right), it's that people don't announce it as soon as someone demands to know about their private life, won't attempt to denounce or admit to rumors regarding that person's secrecy, their supposed effeminacy, etc.
I mean, hell, why should they be afraid or want to keep it under wraps? God knows, Hollywood and the voting/movie-going public couldn't care less, right?
If you're a sex symbol or famous, apparently the public (or at least, the entertainment/tabloid press) should have full access to your sex life if it wants to. Unless you're committing a crime or you're a hypocrite (plenty of right-wing assholes)....it shouldn't be. #30rock
