Video of the Day: The Social Network as written by Mark Zuckerberg

09.29.10 Written by Vince Mancini

David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Network has been garnering “Likes” from critics (see what I did there?  Do you see?) all over the country in advance of this weekend’s release, despite being called a “character assassination” of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and looking a tad, shall we say, over dramatized (“MARK!”).  In response, the always-great Landline TV‘s reimagines The Social Network (as The REAL Social Network) showing us what a movie about Facebook’s founding would’ve looked like if it had been written by Mark Zuckerberg.

The true story of Mark Zuckerberg: You don’t make millions of friends… without creating Facebook all by yourself.

Well done.  Although if I had made it, I would’ve included a scene where a super hot chick tells Zuckerberg, “Oh Mark, nothing turns me on like a white man with curly gay clown hair.  Let’s make love like crazed weasels on the deck of your hover-yacht!”   I mean seriously, Social Network: you really had to make the curly-haired guy a duplicitous sociopath?  As if we didn’t hate ourselves enough already?  Screw you, man.

Video of the Day: The Michael Cera School of Acting

09.16.10 Written by Vince Mancini

Call it misplaced solidarity with my fellow be-Jewfro’d Italian brother, but I still like Michael Cera.  You can complain about him being in everything, and always doing hipster movies, or playing similar characters in everything, and you wouldn’t be wrong, but his comedic timing is spot-on.  And if you’ve ever seen him do a candid interview, you know it usually comes from him, not the screenplay. So that’s my two cents.  That said, LandlineTV’s latest video, The Michael Cera School of Acting, is for all you Cera haters out there, and I know there are lots of you.

“Since 2007, we’ve been teaching actors to tone down their charisma and embrace the awkward.

“Who says that Michael Cera plays the same character in every movie?  That’s absurd!  In Superbad, he played a mild-mannered teenager looking for love.  In Juno, he played, uh… Okay, well, in Scott Pilgrim, he… But in Youth in Revolt he– hmmm… Oh!  Year One, in Year One he played a mild-mannered caveman looking for love.  See?  Totally different.”

The guitar part is gold.  Doing retarded imitations of someone’s voice will never stop being funny to me, and setting it to music makes it that much better.  That said, I think I’m going to attend the Paul Walker School of Acting.  The program is much shorter.  Though I do hear that it’s much more… invasive.

Also, you want awkward?  Try Daniel Radcliffe.  That bug-eyed goon makes Clint Howard look like Paul Rudd.

Sex and the City 2 in 60 seconds

05.26.10 Written by Vince Mancini

SexandtheCity2Busey-CropShoetinis, anyone?  The folks at Landline TV are back with a new video, a version of Sex and the City 2 that’s both more honest, and more importantly, shorter.  Like all of their videos, it’s pretty straightforward, but funny and well-executed.  The only thing I would’ve liked to see more of, now that we know Sex and the City 2 is “blatantly anti-Muslim,” is a crowd of Muslim women holding up giant caricatures Carrie Bradshaw and hitting them with Manolo Blahniks.

LANDLINE TV: TAYLOR LAUTNER’S CHEST DIRECTOR

03.24.10 Written by Vince Mancini

The latest video from Landlline TV shines a spotlight on the most important member of the Twilight Saga unit, Taylor Lautner’s chest director.  I would’ve liked to see how this guy would react when confronted with the Abs-Postor scandal from the New Moon cover.  How was that not a bigger story?  Am I the only who cares about the authenticity of my hot teen boy chest anymore?  Sickening.  Anyway, they actually asked me to help out with this video.  They were going to use my chest, but it was too hard to cover up all my tattoos.
