Hey, Flip-philes! As promised, I have written my second blog in two weeks (soon I'll be able to call this thing The Weekly Flippo again). A fair warning: if kicking ass does not seem like something you would want to do, I recommend going to another blog. Surely you'd rather read some lame posts about emo bands, C-SPAN, frozen yogurt, soft rock, low-carb diets, Heroes, games where "everybody wins," weather, John Mayer, knitting, dog whispering, scrapbooking, or sisterhoods (of both the Ya-Ya and traveling pants variety).
Hidden text is evil.

Are we on the same page? Good.
Screw you, guys!
On our first order of business, let's talk about the Super Bowl... and when I mean talk, I mean let me tell you what I think. Now football is fine and all, but the real fun comes from the commercials (like how I'm sure most of you enjoy airplane rides for the pretzels). This year's crop of commercials was merely okay. I enjoyed the one where Alec Baldwin was an alien, and the one where Mrs. Potato Head's mouth popped off. However, there weren't just enough quality commercials. I mean, seriously, comedy is not that hard. Just throw in some guy getting kicked in the groin or maybe a talking baby or two, and- tada!- I have just weaved a rich tapestry of comedy gold. I hate hidden text.
As far as movie trailers go, the only big surprise was the one for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which actually might be pretty cool if Mike Bay can hold the camera still for a second and let us actually watch the robots fight. The Star Trek preview looked pretty cool, but it really didn't contain any new footage. The Fast and Furious movie (not to be confused with its article-challened prequel, The Fast and The Furious) looked pretty silly. All I know is that Lil Bow Wow better pop up and do some Tokyo Drifting. You can't give us pure, concentrated awesome, and then take it away. Us junkies need our fix!
The Weekly Flippo... though I write it, I am not really a fan.
Okay, next order of business. Its really more of an observation than anything, but I've noticed that Facebook has become really, really boring. Come on guys! Post about a break-up or put up some embarassing photos or write a politically-incorrect status update. Anything! Please! What is the point of a social network if the day's biggest event is that David Q. Hipster added "The Darjeeling Limited" to his list of favorite movies? What the hell, guys?! Give me someting! You guys are my friends, so entertain me!
What is your problem?
And, once again, here are some videos I'm really digging this week.
I'm sorry about what I said about scrapbooking. Nothing personal.
Yes, I've already put up a Flight of the Conchords song a few posts back, but genius is genius.
Huh?!
I am also digging this trailer for 500 Days of Summer.
Why don't you kick yourself out... you're an immigrant, too!
Also, here is the head explosion from Scanners.
Gross.
And with that, fellow Flipinites, I leave you to venture forth into that dark abyness that is the future. Come back next week as I continue to shoot the breeze, as well as any other kind of weather that dares cross my path!
xoxo
