Celebrity Poker Showdown

[apocalypsos]

For anybody who's a complete dork about it like I am, the playing schedule for this round looks like this:

Game 1: (Wednesday, May 31) Greg Behrendt, Andrea Martin, Kim Coles, Michael Ian Black, Jorge Garcia
Game 2: (Wednesday, June 7) Bryan Cranston, Jamie Bamber, Susie Essman, Jason Alexander, Kevin Sorbo
Game 3: (Wednesday, June 14) Ida Siconolfi (the online tournament winner), Fred Savage, Jennifer Tilly, Brett Butler, Doug E. Doug
Game 4: (Wednesday, June 21) Mario Cantone, Jenna Fischer, Rocco DiSpirito, Jordan Peele, Keegan-Michael Key
Game 5: (Wednesday, June 28) Robin Tunney, Andy Dick, Macy Gray, Christopher Meloni, Joy Behar

On one hand, Jorge Garcia the first week! On the other hand, I've got to wait a month for Jenna Fischer and Christopher Meloni? Damn.

Jamie Bamber's playing? I didn't know that. Wheeee! *waves show at BSG fans*

EDIT: Speaking of Bravo, their list of the 100 Funniest Movies sucks ass. Somebody shuffled these movies all the wrong way.

Word. Any list that claims American Pie is funnier than Young Frankenstein? And puts BOTH down in the fifties? WRONG WRONG WRONG.

Dude, Kingpin came in higher than Ghostbusters. Enough said. And why the hell are Wedding Crashers and Old School this high up on the list?

I couldn't even finish watching it after I saw The Wedding Singer beat out Princess Bride. Just couldn't. I LIVE for crappy clip shows, and this actually ticked me off more than VH1/Blender's Top Thirty Worst Songs Ever, which included...oh, many favorites of mine.

I feel you. I believe I had half of those songs on my MP3 player for being cheesy but fun.

I thought it might be a decent if weird list when Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle made the list at 96, but it went downhill pretty quickly after that.

I'm so glad I didn't watch this. Just reading that Young Frankenstein was way down in the 50s and gets beat by American Pie is enough to piss me off. Does make you wonder who go to pick this list.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

The thing is that I can't argue against the fact that most of these movies made the list, it's that their positioning sucks out loud. It's like they thought, "If the top twenty are the same top twenty everybody always sees, it'll get ripped," and just shuffled them around for the hell of it.

Er, no. The usual top twenty comedies are the top twenty for a reason. Sheesh.

Forgot to mention. Is anyone else confused by Macy Gray playing? Every time I see her interviewed she barely seems lucid.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Hell, she barely looks lucid in the commercials.

Ultimate poker face? x.x Like drunken fighting style kung-fu...

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna watch to see if she just randomly breaks out into drunken song in the middle of a hand.

Hercules plays poker? I don't recal Texas hold'em among the 12 great tasks.

Jamie better not let us down. Come on... those games of Triad better be worth something. ;)

i approve so much of Christopher Meloni playing poker that i cannot even possibly begin to put it into words. oh my lord. *dies*

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Jamie Bamber! *flappyhands* What time of day is it on?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

It's at nine o'clock. Bravo reruns the hell out of it if you miss it, too.

OH MY GOD I'm so happy this show's coming back. I've been whining about it for months now. I'm such a huge celebrity poker dork. And Jorge! Playing against Michael Ian Black! Fuck. Yeah.
