Five of the worst movies I've seen

5. Ratatoing

Ratatoing is a well-known one but it really deserves a place in this list. People think of it as a so-bad-it's-good thing but it's really not. There's no story. It looks like a shitty ps2 game, at best. There's a gearing-up montage sequence, but they're in an empty white void and they're all t-posing. It's the laziest thing I've ever seen and it is so so so boring and annoying.

4. The Thinning (and sequel)

The Thinning starring Logan Paul featuring very special guest Stacey Dash. I got the youtube red free trial to watch this. I wasn't aware of this at first, but turns out that the analogy being made is anti-abortion. Overall it is very very fascist. There is actually a sequel called 'the thinning: new world order" which moves away from the pro life thing a bit, and towards making some vague hamfisted statement about political campaigns and corruption. It was insulting to watch.

3. In-app-propriate comedy

Ben mentioned this one to me recently as I had forgotten about it. Truly a spectacle to behold. A comedy sketch anthology created by Vince Offer, the shamwow guy, after he got arrested for beating up an escort. He wrote and directed along with his friend Ari Schaffir, who plays his character "the amazing racist" who does "on the street" bits where he does incredibly racist shit, offering black people "boat trips back to africa" as they walk by, accosting jewish people in the supermarket asking them to sign a petition to apologize for killing jesus, stuff like that. He almost got his ass beat for the boat trips thing. The crazy thing is that Vince Offer is israeli american and Ari Schaffir's dad is a holocaust survivor. But they're both Joe Rogan orbiters. Also, oscar winning actor adrian brodey is in it. Funnily enough, the movie he won best actor for, the pianist, was also about a holocaust survivor. Life works in mysterious ways huh.

2. Adam Sandler (non-specific)

I'm trying really hard to pick an adam sandler movie for this list because I've seen a lot of them, but they aren't really all as bad as you'd expect. Some are funny-bad and some are boring, lazy, shameless, and pathetic bad. The latter are what we're talking about here. Some have actual plots and redeeming qualities, and some are just totally soulless. Jack and Jill, Blended, and Grown Ups spring to mind. Grown ups is probably the worst of those for me because it's just him and the frat pack on vacation with their families with some KFC product placement. There is NOTHING going on in that movie, just some fat shaming, racist asian stereotypes (there's a lot of that specifically in sandler movies, dunno why)

Conversely, I now pronounce you chuck and larry was pretty bad but in a much more fun way. It was a rollercoaster of emotions for me. In between the horrible racist and homophobic shit, the whole movie I was thinking "if they just make them kiss at the end this would be a pretty good movie actually" but of course they can't force themselves to kiss their bro on the lips so their cover gets blown, but then for some reason everyone loves them anyway because they had become media darlings for pretending to be openly gay firefighters, and they did so much to stand up for gay rights. Absolutely insulting, but if you pretend they're actually closet bi and slowly falling in love and using the tax break thing as an excuse to sleep together then it's pretty entertaining so I'd have to say that grown ups is worse because the whole time I was watching grown ups I was just wishing I was dead.

1. Last ounce of freedom

This is the angriest I've ever been watching anything. It is by far the most fascist piece of film masquerading as simple family values that I've ever seen. It's about an old retired army general whose son gets killed in duty and he's fraught with conflict because he always encouraged his son to join the army and now his son is dead. He's also a total dick to everyone in his family. To deal with the conflict, he fights against the war on Christmas. Oh yeah he's also the mayor of the town they live in, that's important. He decides he isn't going to let the libs oppress him anymore so he puts up a cross or whatever on city hall and doesn't CARE if everyone attacks him for it. The villain is the ACLU lawyer who comes in and threatens legal action because christmas has to be secular now and good honest christians aren't allowed to speak out. But it isn't like he's just a lowly hardware store owner or something, he's literally THE MAYOR. He's the person in the position of power in the movie and he's whining the whole time about how christians are oppressed. I forget how it ends but I know it made me real angry so I assume he came to terms with getting his son killed and accepted that dying for your country is good actually and his son was brave to do it. And obviously he puts the christ back in Christmas because that was never actually in jeopardy in the first place. This was too real to be funny to me. Makes me think about all the shitheads who watch this and love it and how the things they do and the way they live their lives brings so much harm to those around them and this movie just affirms all of that. It disgusts me. I can't think of anything I'd rather watch less than this movie short of two hours of footage of actual violence.

Guitar Picking Hand - Quick And Uncomplicated Tips To Improve Your Picking

Berries, any of them, are powerhouses of nutrition. They contain nearly every vitamin mineral and vital nutrients out there. They are tasty and delicious. And the variety is wide enough to satisfy every palate.

pick n pull Can't afford a fab designer piece, but know she would love it? Try a vintage designer tie. She can wear it as a belt, in her hair, tied loosely around her neck, in a bow on her handbag. The possibilities are endless. In February 2009, Billy Mays announced that Shamwow was a rip off of one of his pitch products, Zorbeez. Mays publicly challenged Vince Offer (of Shamwow fame) to a pitch off between the two products. Popular mechanics compared the two products on absorbency alone. Shamwow was declared the winner. No decision was rendered on personal sales pitch ability. pick and pull To gather these baits for fishing you will need a creek seine. Three to four feet wide is fine with a stick at each end to hold the seine in the current. The seine should have heavy lead weights along the bottom and floats along the top. Standing up current from the seine spread the seine between the two sticks and allow the seine to flow downstream forming a belly where the floats are above the weights and the net creates a pocket for the bait to go. Have a plan. Leave yourself plenty of time to get to your date location. Being there way early is better than arriving late. Call the restaurant that you are planning on visiting to be sure the wait is not too long or put in a reservation if you can. Planning equals low stress and everyone wants a first date to have less stress! One way to get cash for junk cars is to do most of the work yourself and then take the car to your local junk yard and sell it to them. If you are familiar with the inner workings of automobiles, this may be the way to go. The main things you need to do is to drain all gas, oil, coolant, and other fluids from the car. Junk yards only take cars with four tires, so make sure you have removed the spare tire. Make sure that if the car is under 10 years old you have the title available to give to the junk yard. Arrange for transport to the junk yard and that is it. Maintain your privacy. Properly managing PTSD during the holidays doesn't require you to explain PTSD to everyone you know. It's all right to decline an invitation without giving a full explanation of why. Certainly, share your reasons with people you trust and love, but for others a simple, "No thank you," is enough.

It’s IFCOMP, the annual interactive fiction competition and I have a new game! It’s Basilica de Sangre!

What's a demon to do? Your mother has been missing for weeks. Rumor has it that she's being held prisoner in the infamous convent Basilica de Sangre. They say no demon has ever escaped from Basilica de Sangre. That's not encouraging. But you're going to find her and rescue her, no matter how many nuns you have to possess!

Special thanks to Steph Cherrywell, Norman Rafferty, Vince Shamwow, and Sarah Adams for playtesting and to Davy B for additional coding and problem solving! Basilica de Sangre is written in the Quest system and requires installed Quest software (available for free at http://textadventures.co.uk/quest) to run.

Are Infomercials Cool Now? 7 Examples You'll Actually Want to Watch

When you hear "infomercial" you might picture a suburban mom on a fruitless quest through her cluttered kitchen cabinets to find a single matching container lid from her 10,000 piece Tupperware collection. Or a hapless man engaged in a heated but ultimately ill-fated wrestling match with his garden hose.

What was once an ad format no self-respecting agency would deign to touch after the 90s has suddenly found itself in vogue again, thanks to a growing consumer taste for all things nostalgic and kitsch.

The infomercial is no longer reserved for bacon bowls and Snuggies. Startups and big brands alike are embracing the format -- with a few modern twists.

Fast-talking pitchmen like Billy Mays and Vince Shlomi (aka the ShamWow Guy) have been replaced by endearingly quirky character actors. Ad run times that once pushed the 30-minute mark on late night TV have been cut down to a more YouTube-friendly five minutes. And the all the unabashed cheesiness you'd expect from an infomercial is now intentionally engineered by teams of creatives.

Leading this new wave of viral, tongue-in-cheek infomercials is Utah-based agency Harmon Brothers, whose fresh spin on the once-tired ad format generated over $100 million of revenue in 2016 for their clients. Not to mention hundreds of millions of views on social media.

You might have seen their outrageously successful debut ad for Squatty Potty, which boosted the company's sales by 600% in 2015 and racked up 29 million YouTube views.

Other agencies and brands are feeling out the trend. And the results aren't just funny -- they're also driving real brand awareness and sales. We've picked a few of the very best to inspire your next ad campaign. Check them out below and decide for yourself: Are infomercials here to stay?

7 Infomercials You'll Actually Want to Watch

1) Purple

To highlight the benefits of this startup's unique polymer mattress, the folks at Harmon Brothers created the raw egg test -- "a super easy way to tell if your mattress is awful."

In the infomercial, an actress dressed as Goldilocks adheres four raw eggs to the underside of a 330-pound sheet of tempered glass, and then drops it onto a Purple mattress to see if the eggs break. The eggs survive the drop onto the Purple mattress, but crack when dropped onto traditional box spring models.

The demo is reminiscent of classic hard-sell infomercial presentations, but stays funny and refreshing thanks to some well-timed quippy lines from Goldilocks. The YouTube comments speak for themselves:

This is the first ad that actually entertained me... what just happened.

This is the best ad Ive [sic] ever watched, I didnt [sic] skip it.

The ad gained rapid viral attention, garnering 100 million views, 158,000 shares, and overwhelming Purple's manufacturing with the sudden flux of online orders.

youtube

2) Chatbooks

When Chatbooks, a photo printing startup, needed a way to introduce consumers to their company, they turned to Harmon Brothers. They needed a way to educate consumers about the specifics of their service without boring them. The viral video agency developed the perfect pitch-woman: a flustered "real mom" just trying to balance work, kids, and managing a house without losing her mind.

Actress Lisa Valentine Clark dodges arrows, garbage disposal mishaps, and kids jumping from windows in the brand's first infomercial, which has amassed over 20 million views and 243,000 shares on social media since its release in October. We loved it so much we featured it in our October Ad Roundup.

The format was such a success for Chatbooks that they turned to Harmon Brothers again to create a holiday themed infomercial. It definitely captures all the charm of the original.

youtube

3) NERD Skincare

Utah-based agency Chamber.Media helped NERD Skincare launch their line of acne-fighting products with an infomercial that combines a delightfully manic pitch-woman with a real-life product demo.

The ad -- which was written by and stars comedian Laura Clery -- took cues from the Harmon Brothers, delivering educational product info with a cartoonish flair that keeps viewers interested.

So far, the strategy seems to be paying off. The video has picked up 2.7 million views since its release in November, and led to eight-figure sales for NERD Skincare.

youtube

4) The Animal Foundation, Las Vegas

Is your alarm clock not enough to wake you up in the morning? You need Pet Cat: the hottest new product from The Animal Foundation. But hurry! They're going fast.

R&R Partners created this fantastically overdone infomercial spoof to generate some buzz for a Las Vegas-based animal shelter. They even developed a dog version.

youtube

5) Palace

Awkward cuts, bad green screen backgrounds, and cringe-worthy acting made this faux-infomercial from Palace -- a London-based skateboard shop -- a viral hit.

Palace founder Lev Tanju recruited actor Jonah Hill to star in the two-minute spot, which has over 300,000 views on Vimeo alone. "We just wanted to make something really stupid," Tanju told Dazed. The whole video was produced in-house by Tanju and his team.

The unconventional strategy ended up being a smart advertising approach. GQ called the ad "the funnest fashion related ad of the year" in 2016, and it was covered by major media outlets like Adweek, Forbes, and Fast Company.

youtube

6) GE Lighting

It's not just startups and smaller companies trying out the infomercial trend -- big names like GE are also giving them a spin.

Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim (aka Tim & Eric) created this goofy two-minute spot in collaboration with BBDO New York. Starring actor Jeff Goldblum as fake "famous person" Terry Quattro, the infomercial introduces GE's line of long-lasting LED lightbulbs with all the deadpan weirdness you'd expect from a Tim & Eric production.

youtube

7) Squatty Potty

Called the "The Greatest Viral Ad in Internet History," this infomercial propelled a little-known toilet accessory startup to mainstream fame.

Produced by the Harmon Brothers, the ad features a handsome prince discussing the importance of colon health -- using an ice-cream pooping unicorn as an example. The offbeat premise generated a ton of interest in Squatty Potty, and in the first four months alone, the ad was watched 66 million times and shared one million times on Facebook.

youtube
