VH1’s Best Week Ever blog is great, partly because it’s seldom snarky and usually pretty funny, but mainly because they frequently discuss The Office.
This entry from a few days ago on the 13 reasons why you should be missing the show and cursing the writers strike touches a lot of nerves. I’m totally down with reasons #8 (see for yourself) and #7 (Andy’s a capella wooing), even if I find #11 (Mose), #6 (Kelly and Darryl) and #5 (John Krasinski’s hair) somewhat dubious. But #4 is my favorite just for how it’s articulated…
The Unexpected Arrivals of Todd Packer. This video should be all the proof you need that the world is a sadder place without the presence of legendary Todd Packer.
That said, the writer loses points for not knowing David Wallace is the CFO, not the president, of Dunder-Mifflin and for not getting Madge’s name right or at least authentically wrong (Pudge? Patch?) the first time. But these are small points.
In other Office news, the stars turned out for the red carpet premiere of Jenna Fischer’s Walk Hard with John C. Reily at Graumann’s Chinese Theater.
If Magazine has some cool shots of Seth Rogen, Jack Black, Jason Bateman and producer/co-writer Judd Apatow along with Dunder-Mifflin-ites Leslie David Baker, Kate Flannery, David Denman and of course Fischer and Reilly themselves. Definitely worth a gander.
I don’t have the right to republish If’s photos, but I like the one shown here better anyway. It’s from Fischer’s appearance on MTV’s Total Request Live Dec. 17, a few days before the movie opened. Old Pammy she ain’t. And you’re welcome.
