Five Things We Love This Week

Jan 13, 2012 by The Chickster Team    1 Comment     Posted under: Boob Tube, Chick Flick Picks, Chickster Crush, Five Things, Netflix Instant Pick of the Week

1) We’ve been huge fans of writer-actress Jennifer Westfeldt‘s work (“Kissing Jessica Stein,” “Ira and Abby”) for years, so we were already looking forward to her next project, “Friends With Kids,” before we saw its adorable new trailer, which may have the highest hot-guy quotient ever between Adam Scott, Chris O’Dowd, Edward Burns and Westfeldt’s longtime boyfriend, Jon Hamm.

2) For those who were bummed about the uncertain fate of “Community” and its group of delighfully comical Greendale College misfits, it’s absolutely coming back this season, though Season 4 is still, unfortunately, unconfirmed. The darkest possible timeline will not prevail!

3) If you’re running out of things to watch on Netflix Instant, Pajiba’s got you covered with a list of 20 underrated gems just waiting for you to stream them. We heartily endorse the recommendation of Happythankyoumoreplease, which, from its description, seems designed to bludgeon you with its hipster quirk, but actually wins you over with its romantic charm.

4) We’ve obvi been guilty of totes LOLing from time to time, but we wholeheartedly agree that Internet shorthand should be banned in 2012. What specific words would you <3 to never see again on your computer monitor?

5) Before we retire Internet slang forever, can we just say that nothing made us LOL and LMAO as much this week as this story about NASA’s new space shuttle engines?

Got anything to say? Go ahead and leave a comment!
