VIDEO: Julie & Brandy In Your Box Office Episode One - "Avatar"

julie and brandy

Posted by

We are super excitant to present the world premiere of the Autio/Video Autostraddle.com Original Webseries starring famous celesbian comedian of life and star of Logo's The Big Gay Sketch Show Julie Goldman and phenomenally good-looking actress Brandy Howard, "Julie & Brandy in Your Box Office"! Remember the preview? Wasn't that awesome? Well now the first episode is here, edited by ME, Riese (Marie Bernard), with help from Autio/Video assistant visionary Kelsey Lisette.

This week, Julie Goldman & Brandy Howard go to see James Cameron's Avatar. They share all their feelings about it, and then they re-enact the film for you! Their three-minute "Gayvatar" is way better than the real thing! You will probs ROFL 10-27 times.

Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard are the Matt and Ben of Lesbian Movies.  They are a sensational acting/writing duo that are trying to cause a sensation with their sensational, lesbian romantic-comedy, Nicest Thing.

Since no one wants to make their movie or cast them in anything, they feel it is their duty to harshly judge everyone else’s work; based on a sliding scale of rage, bitterness, lesbianisim, and lack of any real significant training.

JULIE and BRANDY – IN YOUR BOX OFFICE.
We see crappy movies so you don’t have to.

+

You can keep up with Julie Goldman and Brandy Howard's antics on Julie Goldman's blog, Julie Goldman is really pretty as well as on Julie & Brandy's blog It's Not Gay it's Fashion and the website for Nicest Thing.

The next episode of In Your Box Office will drop next week, which is very special. From then on out you can expect more LOLs every two weeks!

        Taylor Swift was SO BAD in Valentine’s Day! I think it was purposeful? But I had to cover my eyes when she was on screen. And I just kept thinking “Riese needs to see this, Riese needs to see this, omg.” But also I would never wish such a performance on anyone.

          Sarah – I was so distracted during her scenes trying to figure out if it was on purpose or not. I get she was supposed to be a Valley girl or whatever, but it was so over-the-top it yanked me out of the movie every time she was on! PS: MOAR Bradley Cooper/Eric Dane.

    As funny as this was i hoped for real dissection of the film, but then you can´t have everything.

    But i liked the film, largely because i was well aware of what kinda movies Cameron makes and he´s good at making those kind of simple, audience friendly(idiot proof) action drama pieces.

    I think people either love or hate Avatar depending on their expectations for the film. I liked Avatar enough primarily because the only thing I knew about the movie beforehand was from the trailer. I really didn’t have any expectations. I mean, sure, I’ve seen far better movies that Avatar but I’ve also seen far worse ones too. So I’m not jumping on either bandwagon. Sadly though, it might win the Oscar for Best Picture. That said, everything in the video is so true in addition to being hilarious – I had to momentarily pause it when “Hava Nagila” burst out of nowhere.

    1) i love the theme song. Best usage of vocoder ever.

    Ok, I’m gonna count my rofls. One down and I just finished the theme song alone! “in… your… BOX OFFICE! (another-word-for-vagina! huugh!” HA!
    #2. Julie is singing “avataaar.”
    #3. “it’s me, julie, and brandy!”

    Pause, omg she’s so right about the $500 mill. I mean I saw this movie as something finally calling the truth to light; through (science) fiction. But with that money they could have helped people already in danger. So what’s better? A message millions of people have seen (and probably haven’t processed enough to put into action) or a the deed itself (which probably no one would have known about)? That’s a real thinker.

    #4. “How DARE you, sir? How DARE you?!”
    #5. “WE’RE MAD ABOUT 9/11! BLUE PEOPLE!”
    #6. “My brother’s dead! I don’t know what I’m gon do! My legs don’t work!”
    #7. “Make me a part of the ewjsgfdszfdsffd tribe!”
    #8. “Then I’m gon put my tail in it!” *weird face*
    #9. “We’re chosen. It’s like we’re jews.”
    #10. “I like these blue people. They’re nice. The ladies. All the junk’s out. My junk’s out flappin’ around.”
    #11. “Everybody! Everyboddaaaayy!”
    #12. (THE BIGGES ROFL OF THEM ALL) The whole entire song Julie sings at the end. Genius.

    See, 12. You were right.
