Site of the Day for Friday, August 3, 2012
Videogum
Today's site, a hugely popular blog dedicated to the world of video in all
its forms, offers its irreverent perspective to an ever-increasing coterie
of zealous fans. Gentle Subscribers will discover a funny and highly
entertaining look at the medium coupled with the lowdown on the latest
buzz-worthy video news.
"Videogum ... is devoted solely to movies, TV, and Web videos (read:
trampoline accidents). From last night's Mad Men to the latest viral video
or movie trailer, Videogum is a trusted (and hilarious) voice telling you
what's worth watching. The site's highly engaged community has earned a
reputation as pop culture's smartest virtual watercooler. Called 'one of
the best blogs in the whole Internet' by Gawker ..." - from the website
This tongue-in-cheek blog delivers colorful stories on movies, TV, the
appositely named webjunk, and photos. Recent columns snicker over an upset
in Best Film Winner in Sight & Sound magazine's noted annual poll, an
announcement about Ghostbusters 3 and the latest on the TV hit Breaking
Bad. A hilarious and ongoing feature is the viewer-empowered Caption It
corner, currently showcasing a wild and angry-looking Hugh Bonneville (Lord
Grantham from Downton Abby) in a protest T-shirt, while a recently
surfaced, eye-opening high school photo of Russell Brand serves up its own
amusement. Amid the welter of flashy items at this exuberant site is the
not to be missed Starting Line-Up for Puppy Bowl VIII, filed under Photos.
Cautionary note: The language may be offensive to some and not suitable for
the workplace; discretion is advised.
