Snap Judgment: “A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas” Trailer

Raunch, weed, the Notorious N.P.H., a dead Santa, 3D technology: these are the elements of the perfect, feel-good, family-friendly Christmas movie. The Harold and Kumar franchise is one franchise I don’t mind because 1.) It’s nasty fun and 2.) It has Asian Americans starring as regular, non-stereotypical Asians (remember when I wrote a whole article...
Unexpected Anticipation for 'The Smurfs' Movie

Unexpected Anticipation for ‘The Smurfs’ Movie

When the announcement of a live-actionSmurfs movie was made, there was a collective groan heard around the world. When they said it was going to be in 3D, a moan followed. Call me “Smurf’d,” but the more I thought of it, the more I started to like the idea. The movie stars Neil Patrick Harris...

Why Asians shouldn’t be mad at ‘Cook Poo’

In this week’s episode of How I Met Your Mother, Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) tries to have the “Perfect Week” (hence the title of the show) by sleeping with a different lady every night – but his danger of genital wart-infused promiscuity isn’t the focus of this episode. The focus (for me at least) was...

Are you a settler? Or a reacher?

Besides the ‘but ummm’ drinking game, tonight’s episode (which, by the way, was directed by the Notorious NPH – Neil Patrick Harris) of How I Met Your Mother presented the brilliant “reacher or settler” philosophy. Marshall and ‘Jenkins’ make it hot on the 101st episode of HIMYM The episode titled “Jenkins” has Marshall (Jason Segel)...

Big foreheads announce the Best Dramatic Actors on TV

According to Neil Patrick Harris and Jane Krakowski, people with big foreheads can’t do drama. Their foreheads aren’t that big. Nonetheless, Michael C. Hall picks up the win for Dexter beating out my boy Jon Hamm; and Julianna Margulies from The Good Wife beats out another Mad Men actor January Jones. Wow. I really need...

Lithgow creeps us out and ‘Up’ is good for drug-induced viewing

Dexter’s John Lithgow edged out Benjamin Linus (a.k.a. Michael Emerson) and Barney Stinson (The Notorious N.P.H. – Neil Patrick Harris) for a Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role on TV. I guess I should actually start watching that show. Meanwhile, presenter Paul McCartney says that animation is good for kids and adults...

The best thing to happen on TV this week

Barney Stinson. Musical number. Choreography. Suits. It’s about damn time they utilized NPH’s musical chops – and with a sartorial angle at that. Two of my favorite things combined into one. Besides the brilliant closing musical number, this had to be one of the best episodes yet. Tim Gunn played Barney’s tailor (hence the performance...

Frosty the Snowman is legen…wait for it…DARY!

Genius.

HIMYM quote of the week

A hug is like a public dry hump. -Barney

More reasons to love NPH…and Kristen Wiig

I am so mad that I missed the episode of Saturday Night Live when Neil Patrick Harris hosted. Needless to say, I am just now getting to watching clips from that night. I don’t think I need to say anything else…just watch this and enjoy:
