Had I known that television shows were just going to premiere all their pilots online well before their air dates, I wouldn't have had to move all the way to Los Angeles for the insider privilege. But, we, the internet savvy, are being rewarded for our pop culture geekitude with such treats as HBO's online premiere of Flight of the Conchords over a month before its broadcast on June 17th at 10:30PM. You can watch New Zealand's "fourth most popular folk parody duo" in their stateside series debut on the show's MySpace site or, starting Monday, at HBO.com.Posts with tag EugeneMirman

Finally, a sequel to Backdraft
You might think that fifteen years is too long to wait to make a sequel to
Backdraft, but that's only if you're Ron Howard. If you're alternative comics Eugene Mirman, Jon Benjamin, and
Sam Seder, you forge ahead and make a sequel anyway, despite not really knowing a whole lot about the original film.
It's called Backdraft II: Backdraftier, and I haven't seen anything this funny in quite some time.
Please, won't you share in my
joy? Mirman explains he wanted to make sequels to movies that didn't need a sequel. That makes absolutely no sense,
and that's why it's brilliant.
