Quote of the Week: February 5

"OK, hey, I got something to say to you, man. I brake for birds; I rock a lot of polka dots; I have touched glitter in the last 24 hours. I spend my entire day talking to children, and I find it fundamentally strange that you're not a dessert person. That's just weird and it freaks me out, and I'm sorry I don't talk like Murphy Brown, and I hate your pant suit. I wish it had ribbons on it or something to make it just slightly cuter, and that doesn't mean I'm not smart and tough and strong."

—Zooey Deschanel as Jess Day on New Girl

I Just Watched: Safety Not Guaranteed

Safety Not Guaranteed was one of the best comedies I've seen in a while (right up there with last summer's Horrible Bosses). On top of coming from the same producers as Little Miss Sunshine, an indie comedic classic, SNG showcases two of my favorite TV actors: Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Rec, NBC) and Jake Johnson (New Girl, FOX). Of all the things to be based off of, this film is centered around a wanted ad that originally appeared in a newspaper in the 1990s (in real life, not in the script) that read: "WANTED: Someone to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. You'll get paid after we get back ... Safety not guaranteed." If you don't think that's the best premise ever, I'm not sure what you're looking for in a comedy. Needless to say, the flick only gets better from there. Not to mention, Safety Not Guaranteed has a lot of heart for a comedy, leading you to places you may not expect. My suggestion? Try this one out.
