there will be a fish

I'm not really someone who likes to watch MTV, nor do I listen to much pop music, so I generally don't see many music videos. When I do, it's usually because I hear that someone's done something visually interesting, in which case, as a film person, I'll check it out.

That said, I REALLY WISH someone had told me that the first couple of minutes of Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" music video involved her making out and speaking Swedish with a suspender-wearing Alexander Skarsgård.

I would've watched it much sooner. :D

(also, confession time: I am actually really really fond of Lady Gaga. :D?)

*sigh* Can't sleep. But at least I have TV Tropes to keep me company. I always forget how completely brain-eating that site is. It's just so fascinating.

Plus, it reminds me of fun things like this (utterly non-spoilery) scene from Criminal Minds 3.19 "Tabula Rasa," where an attorney besmirches his honor casts aspersions on the validity of profiling. Hotch proceeds to calmly dissect the man in front of the entire courtroom. One of the Tropers has dubbed this a "Hotchalanche," defined as "wherein Aaron Hotchner is made of awesome."



The scene in 2.23 "No Way Out II" where Hotch gets sick of playing Strauss' games and completely kicks her ass without moving or raising his voice is similar, but I can't find the clip on YouTube. HELL YEAH.

And just for shits and giggles: JJ, Garcia, and Prentiss at a bar. Not at all spoilery, unless you weren't aware that all three women are made of awesome and work at the FBI. :D



ETA: This interview with Kirsten Vangsness is adorable. Apparently, when she shot her scene from the pilot (which was intended to be a one-off), she had no idea who she was talking to. She didn't see Shemar Moore until the second episode -- which makes the amount of chemistry they still manage to have particularly noteworthy. Damn. And her story about the writers following them around and using their real-life banter for dialogue is so precious. <33333

Okay, not-so-secret-confession time: I LOVE Whose Line Is It Anyway?. The first time I ever saw a skit was actually four of my teachers recreating one in an elementary school talent show, and I was always thrilled to catch reruns on TV -- but that's neither here nor there.

This is the important part:



I just laughed myself sick. Seriously, my stomach hurts over here. I fucking love them.

ETA: OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THE ONE WITH RICHARD SIMMONS *dies*

ETA2: And again. Very rarely does Wayne Brady completely lose it on the show, but apparently being groped by a bodybuilder named Jane does the trick... :D
