Henley Monday -
Something about ComicCon is so exhausting even from thousands of miles away. It feels like every day there are at least three things over which to completely lose your mind in excitement and awe. But I love it. But I'm pooped.
So let's all just take a few moments of peace and stillness together as we behold the majestic beauty that is this still of Chris Pratt in the upcoming JURASSIC WORLD. He is getting hotter by the second and won't stop wearing henleys, being adorable, and french braiding girls' hair. I can't wait to see him back as Andy Dwyer on the last season of PARKS & REC coming up too. And even sooner in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.
Chris Pratt, you on fire, boy!
Henley Monday -
It's still ungodly cold in much of the northern United States, and now more than ever we need men in henleys to warm us right up. Enter the fourth man named Chris to be presented as the weekly Henley Monday: Chris Pratt.
This is him last week at the Parks & Recreation PaleyFest panel. He....has gone through quite the transformation for his upcoming role in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. It's pretty special. I mean, come on THAT FACE. That ADORABLE man. His character on Parks has always been one of my favorites and now that he looks like this, I might just be in full blown love.
Keep it up, Chris Pratt! We love you!
Tribute Time: Parks and Recreation
I know you've all been dying for me to speak in more hyperbolic terms. So here you go: The greatest show on television right now is not Game of Thrones or Mad Men or even Modern Family. Though, holy crap, I love those shows.
No, the greatest show on TV is Parks and Recreation. In a vast sea of ensemble mocumentary shows, this one stands out because it's populated with the most likable group of characters in the most likable fictional small town of Pawnee, Indiana. It is an unabashedly happy show without being saccharine or twee.
If you aren't watching it, you should be. It will do nothing but bring you happiness. If you haven't given yourself this great gift, or you'd like to compare your list to mine, I bring you my top five favorite episodes of the show:
Season 3; Episode 13 "The Fight" - Things get a little heated while everyone's at the Snakehole Lounge pimping Tom's latest business venture Snake Juice.
Season 4; Episode 6 "The Treaty" - A Model UN conference sets off Ben and Leslie, bringing their internal conflict very, very external.
Season 3; Episode 5 "Media Blitz" To promote the upcoming Harvest Festival (also a great episode) Ben and Leslie set out to talk to local Pawnee media giants, and it turns out Ben is a little camera shy.
Season 3; Episode 2 "Flu Season" A pretty violent strain of flu sweeps through Pawnee and manages to take down even its strongest citizens. Chris (Rob Lowe) is really the star of this one.
Season 2; Episode 9 "The Camel" The whole department sets out to submit a mural, but butt heads when everyone has their own, very personal, idea. It showcases each character perfectly.
As a general post-script, this great show is also home to the greatest character ever written for film and television: Jean-Ralphio Saperstein.
