Afternoon Meme: Betty White Is a Goddess, Robert Pattinson Plays Dead Again, "Glee" and The Ski Jumping Mime

Starting off with movies, let's take a look at the new Robert Pattinson film, Remember Me. In it, he plays someone alive and breathing for a change. At least he supposed to, I really can't tell. Don't hurt me!

The date at the end of this documentary trailer is 2007, but the trailer just popped up, so I don't know what to make of it. It's called Wiener Takes All: A Dogumentary and appears to be about the fast-paced world of wiener dog racing. If there are typos it's because I couldn't stop giggling while I wrote that.

I think I've established that I just can't fake an interest in How To Train Your Dragon, but this "viral featurette" caught my eye because 1) Just calling something "viral" doesn't make it true; 2) Craig Ferguson narrates, and he's my new late-night crush.

Here we have the new sneak peek at Glee, including a glimpse at one of the Madonna numbers, plus some great Sue/Will stuff. Oh, and Finn looks hot in a basketball uniform. He'd look even hotter in a basketball uniform from the early 80s – the kind that featured short shorts. Sigh. Hoops fashion did not evolve in a good direction.

The myth, the legend, the dirty bird that is Betty White was on The Bonnie Hunt Show today. I'm giving you both halves of the interview because you've been good. 

First we have her discussing a bunch of topics, including Saturday night Live.

The second half is mostly about the Snickers Super Bowl ad, but she's got a few good lines in there.

Here's a clip from The Bonnie Hunt Show. I love Freakonomics, and can't wait to go get the new book. Stephen J. Dubner stopped by today and talked a bit about the studies they've done. My favorite was one that embarrassed Bonnie because he told a different part of the story than she intended. Evidently they set out to teach monkeys to use money. The monkeys caught on well and started trading it to buy food. But when the researchers tried to end the experiment, one monkey surprised them by using his last coin to invent monkey prostitution. They really are like us.

SyFy has released a featurette about "What it means to be an Adama". It's striking to watch Sam with his strong family pride and cultural identity. Meanwhile his straight brother has run from his Tauron roots all his life. Sam knows who he is, it's his heterosexual brother that's the outsider. An interesting view point.

Jimmy Kimmel chose to talk about Johnny Weir last night in his monologue, and in classic fashion, decided to pick and choose his imagery to mock the "flamboyant" guy. Stay classy, Jimmy.

Ellen plays "It's Ter-Raining Men" which would be more entertaining if they had spent half as much time on the game design as they did on the name. I'm continuing to protest that on her show only women get to play the games involving hunks. It's just not fair to all those gay guys in the audience! Besides, Valentine's Day is out so I need a new crusade.

Also on Ellen, The Scripts stopped by to play "Breakeven, and I'm including it because the lead singer is adorable. The song however, annoys me.

Don't try this at home kids – nail gun art. I'm pretty sure it voids the warranty.

In honor of the Winter Olympics, I present The Ski Jumping Mime.

Presented with very little comment, because it speaks for itself, Mac vs The Situation.

And finally, I really don't know if Slate cobbled this together, or if Hollywood actually made this thing in a misguided attempt at doing the right thing, but I present The Worst Anti-Drug Movie Ever Made, because you have to be on drugs to watch it.
