INSOMNICON 2009: THE PLAY STATION.

[Riobe]

Stitch from Lilo & Stitch (Disney)
It's name is actually 626, and it's enemies are generally 625, 624, and so forth. It's supposed to be bullet proof, fire proof, extremely intelligent (which it actually turns out not to be), can see in the dark, and has super strength.

...I'd kill it by drowning it, as although it's bullet proof and fire proof, it's not water proof.

[SlappyMcGee]

While on the alien planet, you realize that you forgot to set the VCR to tape Dollhouse tonight.

Challenge 2: Write a Pitchforkian review of today's episode of Dollhouse that does not include any details about the show.
Do not mention characters, plot, or writing at all. Reviewers should do their best to link the show, without using details,
to Radiohead.

Kablizzy for concentrated awesome, Luminaflare because chain sword was the answer we were looking for, (And Predators are ridiculous.)
Donfuy, because that cookie bitch is HAWT, And Hoch was given consideration, but it was ultimately decided that Dune is -laced- in irony.

And everyone got an extra point for participating in the FIRST round.

[Jiggerjaw]

Have you guys seen this crop of steaming shit? I'm all about Gods in cars and everything - who isn't? But this show has simply gone too far. Especially in the metaphorical sense. It reminds me of Radiohead, because it was all...well, part of it was like one thing, and another part was like, different. And, sometimes Radiohead writes different songs. I guess I'm not doing a wonderful job of explaining it, but the whole show speaks for itself. And its speech is filled with lies and the N-word.

[Sucker]

I do not like it.
Also for some retarded reason it reminded me of Radiohead. Heh.


(This concludes my review, ready to receive no points. :D)

[Rose]

I've got to say, today's episode of that show we've never heard of was awful. That person didn't even ask the other person about that thing they all did at that time. It reminded me of Radiohead because just as I've never listened to Radiohead, I've never watched an episode of this show.

[Luminaflare]

It involves women and is therefore blasphemy and should be purged from existence with holy fire! Just like them Radio Head fellows.

[LouDog004]

Two pitchforks were in some hay, and the first says to the second, "Did you by chance catch Dollhouse tonight?"
"AHHHHHHHHH, a talking pitchfork!" exclaimed the second.
"Yes, well, anyway, I felt it was all a little too Pablo Honey, when the producers should be aiming for Kid A/Amnesiac, if you know what I mean," the first continued.
The second pitchfork, fearing it was suffering from possible schizophrenic delusions, hummed to itself and tried to pretend nothing out of the ordinary was happening.

[spudzalot]

Todays episode was a bit sharp and had three major points. 1. The episode was pretty long and the storyline was as thin as a stick. 2. It just seemed to load barrels and barrels of pointless fluff onto you, lets call it hay for now. 3. And in the end it just ended up tripping over itself and impaling a farmer, metaphorically speaking of course.

[unoriginal name]

In this episode of the television program Dollhouse the title given is True Believers, a cilchéd name if there ever was one. Jaded viewers will find cynical humor in the episode's disgusting advances. While it may seem purulent, comparisons can be made to Radiohead. For example, Radiohead's recent album was titled "In Rainbows". One will find many predictable uses of the first word, "In", splintered throughout the show. To sum it up: A dubious and half-hearted outing.

[sept]

When you hear the name, "Dollhouse" what do you think of? Do you think of dolls? Or maybe you're thinking of yes, that's it, Life in a Glasshouse by Radiohead, too bad that song wasn't featured in this episode of this stunning new sci-fi mystery action show about people.

This episode of Dollhouse isn't particularly an episode of 'musclehead' action, more so radiohead action. Dollhouse always seems like a show doomed to unoriginality, with the main character's ear-biting feisty-ness, and the supporting characters' toe-tingling articulation.

In conclusion, Dollhouse seems like soon it will be known as a household name, and if this episode proves anything, it's that Joss Whedon is able to pull his magical nom de plume style of writing outta the hat on this one, really proving himself... Or should I say Prove Yourself, Radiohead Pablo Honey out in stores now. But really, it's the eerie moments of transfixing the hyper-hallucinogenic action of the show that make it a fever dream of art.

[aids]

It seems as if Dollhouse finally jumped the shark after so many good and bad shows. As it started I thought is would be a good finish to the plot twist last episode, but some of the events were just too outrageous to ever consider. I won't into detail, but the episode gets ridiculous fifteen minutes into it. The ending of this seemed to shut the door of the figurative crapper, and I still can't fathom what those writers were thinking of when they got together for six minutes to throw this together. This is definitely the worst episode yet, and the downfall of the show. Stop by next week and if it rebounds I be sure to say. And if it doesn't, well...you won't see me around.

With Pitchfork reviews I'm Eric per Sullivan. Radiohead forever!

[Leaff]

Okay, here's the deal. In this episode, the series' main character, Jonny Greenwood, gets pushed down an elevator shaft into hell by his jealous brother, Colin. Colin then freaks out that the reason he killed him for was because 2+2=5 on the moon, but only when you sail to it. So Colin drops down the shaft and is welcomed to hell by Weird Fishes floating around and breathing fire. He takes 15 steps and finds him self falling through an endless vortex of darkness. Jonny floats up next to him and says-

Oh, you want the review for that episode of that random show? Tell me that before I explain this random crap next time.

In the episode of that show, they find out that darth Vader is Luke's father, elephants have noses inside of their ears, what "Myxomatosis" is, that they all have The Bends, and why you drive on a parkway and park on a drive way. Unfortuantly, I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, so we'll never know why.

[Universezero]

The latest episode of Dollhouse could not has been worse; if I had had a choice as to whether watch that or listen to Radiohead, I'd defianatley have to choose to hack my own head off with an axe. I mean, they're just pulling stuff out of their arses. I don't see how they even manage to stay on the air; yet again, exactly like Radiohead. In conclution, I think that Dollhhouse and all of the preceding Radiohead concerts should be aired on UPN, where nobody will watch it anyway.

[otters~1]

I'm going on the assumption that 'Dollhouse' is a TV show about dolls:


You know, I had a dollhouse when I was a kid. I really liked that thing. It had some doors, tables, little people... Another thing about my childhood is that I NEVER LISTENED TO RADIOHEAD. So now, while listening to Radiohead for influence, I have written a beautiful review about an episode of some crappy TV show that I've never seen.

Cheers.

[Pikman]

Like a comet flying in at top speed and impacting in the center of the Pacific, the unexpected plot twist in Dollhouse come out of nowhere. After a three-year beginning to things, this episode really brings the cast into glory. Even within the time slot, the entire thing spun right round and spawned its own spoofs almost overnight, while simultaneously criticizing the 2000-08 U.S. political world. After a short commercial break, the show seemed to run itself; it was just one that did not want the final credits to roll.

We went behind the scenes and asked a few stars what they thought of this amazing feat in prime-time.

Reporter: How do you feel about pulling off the biggest thing on television (Besides the new Battlestar Galactica, of course.)
Yuno Thatdude: Well, it was difficult, but rewarding in the end. We worked our asses off for a week in overtime trying to film all of it, but we got it done and we got it done good. Now we're probably going to get nominated for awards all over the place.

Reporter: How could one possibly achieve such a high level of prestige when working with fresh actors?
Thom Yorke (Director): This honestly was a total team effort. We couldn't have finished it well without teaming up and working as one large conglomerate. By maintaining steady relationships between the actors, actresses, and production staff, it turned into a final product which we all enjoyed.

[Snuggletummy]

This show is amazing, it tastes like the best damned turkey ever. Add a dash of Radiohead, and you get Dollhouse, the show that's so great, you will be wishing you had a nice warm, sautéed turkey covered in lavishing Radiohead salts and Doll like bread.

[Paddy]

It was great. Especially the things the persons talked about.

[Rikaninja]

What a wonderful bamboozle pie! Filed straight into the heart of the daddy-to-day television. Oh the irony, what irony you ask? The irony of course. What is irony? A bomboozle pie, it'll fill you up with a type of laughter you will never feel again! Oh the irony! What irony you ask? The irony of course. What is irony? A type of laughter that you will meet, with such magic that one will ask oneself. Am i feeling licky? Or luckee? What is this laughter, a bomboozling pie and a magic of oneself? Tune in to Channel 14 News to find out!

What has this got do you with you? Dollhouse of course! You will meet these strange fetishes of life, very much like a doll. A redhead doll, the very doll of this episode. The doll that the bamboozle pie targets, the laughter engulfs and the magic cocoons. Yes, this rather innocent redhead doll.

Like the suspense of the inevitable damage of a thousand arrows, the sound of gunfire and the weight of an african elephant! All these things will be implemented into this fragile insignificant redhead doll. Yeh of course, Dollhouse; Channel 14 News! Nothing like a missed out episode of the Radiohead dumbheads to cheer you up on a cold winters day by the fire!

[Donfuy]

"I just saw the last episode of "Dollhouse" and it was freaking fucking awful, I mean, what were they thinking?
You see, this is not what US television needs. We don't need this crap.

Come on.
Kill it, you already did that!


You guys are releasing this piece of shit right now, when we're all changing to DTV? RIGHT NOW? Come. On.

I mean, I used to like the show but it isn't like the old times anymore, when me and my mom used to watch it from the couch, in front of the brazier, with that cat... what was his name again? OH! I remember! It was Cindy Lou! How could I forget... With those yellow stripes and that awful, but distinct smell. Right after dinner, me and my mom sit down on the couch... yeah, because my father couldn't cause he was doing some nasty things some houses away.

I only found out that on the mortal day, when "Dollhouse" didn't happened. I opened the door, took my bike and just walked by my friend's house (at the time, at the age of 8). I was shocked.

The boy was crying, and I saw my father, with pants down... fucking my friend's mom, on the top floor. My friend was down here, talking about how everybody fucked but him. Since his girlfriend (I too fucked her, oh good, she's awesome) to the amazingly popular priest (I too got fucked by him, oh god, you're awesome).

And my dad was fucking his mom, with the pants down. I saw the shadows.


My mom arrived and she said:
"oh, don't be sad, boy!" - she didn't realized the screaming of joy above (she's half def)
I looked at her hand.
Her hand approached the pocket.
From the pocket, a preservative I saw.

"Oh god, not again."

But it wasn't what I thought, she looked at Bob (my friend) and said,

COME HERE, MAH BOI!


Wow, I'm talking a little bit too much about this.
Now, on-topic, on the couch, today, not even my girlfriend touched me at the half part. NOBODY TOUCHED ME.

The show was horrible, really. They said it was the best show ever, but I don't say that.

Come on, spank me.

How I wished Dollhouse came back to the way they were..."


Mmm, don't know if it's too much..., but one thing I'm sure: I'm really not good at endings.

[Riobe]

The episode of Dollhouse that aired today was well...it's just unexplainable really. I was really unsurprised, and yet surprised at how the episode turned out to be...like it turned out. But when I think of the show Dollhouse, I think of compound words that are also names or titles of something, just like Radiohead. The only difference I can really tell between Radiohead and Dollhouse is that when I hear the word Dollhouse, I think of compound words, as previously stated, and then I think of other words like that, like Radiohead, and then I think of the word again, and the two words that make up the word, which in this case happens to be "doll" and "house", as when I think of Radiohead, I think of radios, and heads.

Really, the feeling you'll get from this episode is in the end, just really really...unexplainable.

[SkyRay]

Like plenty of other shows in this insomnia based era, this show sure can attract an audience that will create cults of many types. This voice of urban force will surely knock you out of your right mind, which makes it possible to enjoy a display of such exhibits.
Today's episode was a perfect example of all of which and such as. Hopefully this will get through and you may enjoy this as much as we all have.

DOLLHOUSE: 3.0.

In 1985, AM stereo broadcasting started in Australia. I vividly remember first hearing this news; I was sitting in a cafe in Praha, sipping my Čaj and toasting the International Youth Year. History records that as I was doing this, some young lads from Oxfordshire were forming a band. They named themselves 'On a Friday', referring to the day they usually rehearsed, but later achieved glory under the name Radiohead, releasing a string of critically acclaimed albums including their magnum opus, OK Computer.

A quintessentially 90s record dealing with the fear of the corporate world, pitting its cold and clinical roboticism against intricate melodies and inventive song structures, OK Computer can be easily contrasted against tonight's episode of Dollhouse. Tonight's episode of Dollhouse was not a quintessentially 90s record. Neither did it involve the juxtaposition of violent lyrics against a serene musical background.

Perhaps it was because I chose to watch Meeting People Is Easy and masturbate instead of watching Dollhouse, but I found nothing worth reviewing in tonight's episode of that program. Take a boat ride down the Vltava instead.

[Izzy]

Shit happened, and a pitchfork.

[Kablizzy]

Today's episode of Dollhouse featured a Greco-Roman theme that simply baffled the senses. The nuances of plot and higher theatre tickled the scrote and made a soft, subtle impact that this reviewer has not seen in short of twelve... maybe thirteen years. The Oxfordshire ambiance and the subtle flesh tones used in each of the story's fourteen signature scenes lets the viewer know that there is indeed a God.

Short of pure aesthetic principles, the producers of Dollhouse have a porcelain view of the world, as indicated by their very Through-The-Looking-Glass scenery towards the end of their 22-minute masterpiece. No matter what Bill Maher may say about it, there's no replacement for Savage Garden's appearance on the show. Their irreversible showcase teaches us all a lesson in rhythm management, but also that the Lion does indeed sleep tonight. Mostly during this show.

Shakespeare turns in his grave as the rhythm guitar and soft, slow beats of Creep erupt into the savage, brutal tones heard later in the song. As the rhyme and syncopation turn more melodic towards the end of the album, In Rainbows shows us that David Allen Grier really has his shit together. In Eats, Shoots, and Leaves, Lynne Truss mentions David Lee Roth as her counterpart in The Revolutionary War with Hot, Steaming Panini and Basketball Star Chauncey Billups' Stirrup Factory. I've never understood The Daily Show, but Michael Phelps Sticky Icky Icky Icky Snoop Dogg.

[Skyling]

After I write this Pitchfork Media review for the show "Dollhouse" and give it a 10.0, everybody will adore it, hype it up to their friends, attend all of its concerts, buy and proudly wear a t-shirt in honor of it, and generally devote their lives to it.

Until the next Radiohead album comes out, at least.
