Goes to show you that an uninteresting focus test can not only pass as a television show (and a successful one at that), but somehow earn nominations and awards usually reserved for, you know, good television shows.

Vuvuzela Concerto in B-Flat.
I’m so going to buy one when I return from Chicago and carry it with me everywhere.
At first glance, it seemed that the presence of CK’s new standup material is what carried the entire show. After a re-watch, though, I think the show overall is pretty well-directed. Obviously I posted a segment of the standup, not the plot, but what do you expect? It’s Louis CK.
Easily one of the best albums this year.

I swear, I’m slowly turning into a little Ebert.
An entire album of vintage covers from The Roots and John Legend? I’m not sure how I feel about that. On one hand, it’s The Roots, and on the other, I’ll have to pretend that I’m hesitantly enjoying John Legend, since I was previously pretending to not like him at all, even though his album definitely has seen a lot of the inside of my ears.
Also, that is the quietest I have ever seen Black Thought be in a song. That must be a struggle for him.
Fifteen. Unbelievable. How on earth have I gotten to this point? I need to man up and start shooting. Going to Chicago and pulling a Ferris Bueller mixed with Pitchfork will probably stimulate my output, but what’s next after that?
Maybe I’ll revive Who Needs The Sunshine. It challenged me, but I loved it.
inscien asked: Why is the double-dog dare more effective than a regular dare?
Well, you have to understand how the daring ante system works. The double-dog dare is a counter-daring phrase - it’s what you use to further coerce someone into doing something. The traditional scale goes dare, double dare, double-dog dare, triple dare, and triple-dog dare.
The strength of these phrases only comes from succeeding the uttering of their weaker counterparts and appropriate hesitation from the daree. You can’t just jump into a round of dare-ante with a triple-dog. Your daree would just laugh and call you a loser. You have to work your way up to it, and the higher levels of the dare hierarchy may not even be necessary for appropriate coercion, as long as you allow your victim to marinate in peer pressure and self-doubt. A professional darer is one who has a full understanding of the most effective hesitation-to-ante ratios, and that kind of understanding is the only thing that makes a double-dog dare more effective than a regular dare.
