If you don’t know who LexG is you probably don’t read Hollywood-Elsewhere or Movie City News. The jokes are pretty inside but some of you might find them funny if you follow along the insular drama. Before you get offended on my behalf just remember, it isn’t the worst thing in the world to be sexualized at my age. Just saying.
This goes against everything that stand for Sasha. The only woman in the group is reduced to big tits and using a dildo. Maybe some actresses feel the same way. “it isn’t the worst thing in the world to be sexualized at my age”
“Instant non-classic!”
Agree that this was the dumbest thing posted on this site in some time. Don’t know anybody personally, and don’t really follow any of these people, but when something’s so clearly malicious *and* stupid, the potential humor falls away. Ryan’s anecdote of this guy helps me conceptualize how someone would construe Sasha or any woman this way. Fail; depressing. Back to quality movies.
Like Ryan, I’m not fan of LexG or his misogynistic pity party schtick. As someone who is a (recovering) 4Chan veteran, I’ve seen many funnier trolls, even if they were incredibly vulgar. And I can enjoy low-brow humor. LexG is a wannabe, and a painfully unfunny, tedious one at best. His parodies are as equally clumsy and infantile.
But LexG does have his audience, especially on HE and MCN. So good for him. I’m more than content to let him stroke his flaccid ego and get in the hair of Wells and Poland on a daily basis.
Sasha: “it isn’t the worst thing in the world to be sexualized at my age. Just saying.”
Well in that case, I have no problem saying that I’m 21, and I think you are hot as hell! For real. And I’ve been with this site for four years. Yay.
That was funny. I mainly see the video as a send-up of Wells. That dude got torn apart to smithereens. I was laughing AT him. That is if he says the things he said in the video.
Well I thought this was fucking hilarious. Mount Rushmore! Double-headed dildo! Osage Orange County!
My personal impression. This is nothing more than a flaccid love note from LexG to Wells in the same way a brat sitting behind his crush in algebra in class would yank the pigtails of his infatuation as a clumsy substitute for a flaccid love note.
Clue to LexG’s lack of interest in representing realistically anyone but Wells is the fact that none of the static drawings but Wells says anything that could identify who they are.
Clue to the video’s real function as pigtail yanking love note to Wells is the fact that nobody appears in the same frame with LexG except the portable sketch of Wells that LexG snuggles up next to his own sketch
Worse than unfunny, it’s just boring. It’s boring because it’s oafish. It’s boring because it’s pointless. It’s boring because it’s blandly hateful. It’s maybe more boring to me than it is to Sasha because I’m not in it. I can’t even get offended because it’s so tediously stupid to get me riled up.
The only value I can see in this thing is how it illustrates the crude shit Sasha has to endure. Posting it demonstrates Sasha’s gracious patience.
I made the mistake last year of following LexG on Twitter before I realized his favorite topic was how he never gets laid and expects he never will. (I agree). The truth of that tired schtick is too tiresome to be tragically pathetic and yet too pathetic to be funny.
I made a second mistake when I tried to be sincerely supportive one night when it sounded like LexG was borderline suicidal about his tiresome life of never ever getting laid. Worried me a little that I got no response after trying to help. I was genuinely concerned. He sounded serious about offing himself. But then when he played the same game a few nights later, I realized this suicide gag is a regular feature of LexG’s existence on Twitter. But I stuck with him a few more days until I got sick of hearing hm beg strangers to buy him a hooker. It had to be a blonde white hooker. He made it painfully clear that all the other colors and flavors of hookers disgust him. Unfollowed him months ago. Complete waste of time.
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if somebody drew a childish picture of LexG, made a video of the childishness, and read my mean-spirited comment here in a dumb voice to narrate it? No? What am I doing wrong? I’ll tell you. Because as boring as Jeff Wells may be a parody target, LexG is infinitely more boring.
It’s not redundant when you consider LexG’s public drawings of tits look exactly like his private drawings of Jeff’s ballsack.
All the mean-spirited jabs here are great for boring the hell out of yourself if the daily splattering of constant mean-spirited jabs on H-E don’t sufficiently bore the hell out of you already.
Dumbest thing to be posted on this site since March when I posted “After Earth, trailer 2”
On the one hand, it’s pretty tacky; on the other hand, it’s pretty accurate.
(I’m not saying I hate it but here’s the deal.)
Been reading Wells’ site regularly throughout the year so I could get almost all the Elsewhere-related jokes.
One thing of note: LexG seems coincidentally (or not) to have gotten Wells’ photographic angle just exactly right [sorry for being redundant] and I find it a bit funny with nuance [I’m sure LexG didn’t mean it to be amusing]: you know, that oblique left-side view — unfortunately, this time round save for the trademark grin though — like the one on his site’s top banner.
BUT Wells’ hair drawn here is far from perfect (reading: incorrect style in a strict sense): to begin with, Wells’ hair, as seen on his own clips and Elsewhere banner’s older (younger) pic, is more like Johnny Cash or Elvis type so there is no dividing into two sides like the drawing suggested. . . .
I think it would have been more to the point, and mildly funny without being disrespectful, if he drew Wells’ character exactly like the one on Wells’ own site’s banner (oblique view aside, the handsome grin and the studied heroic look with his head strategically tilted down a bit).
I could relate with All Is Lost elements on Wells. But, speaking for myself, the fart jokes about having sex […] at the end of the clip was tasteless, though.
—
Writing the word “TITS” on those bosoms is redundant and disrespectful. Not to mention, in my opinion, an insult to AD regulars’ intelligence. (We some of us know […] has got those [wondrous] assets, for which many other women would kill; there was no need to pinpoint it in writing.)
And the voice-over. He got it all wrong for both Wells and Sasha. (Don’t let me start.) Epic fail for impersonation department.
(Apologies for blabbering.)
I really liked his 2011 version. This one is still funny, but that one was next level.

Funny stuff.
I’ve only recently been exposed to LexG’s unique… um… sensibility, but this video is funny and needlessly shocking in equal measure. Typical LexG, in other words. Sasha, I’m glad you can take this parody in stride, but aside from the Team Fincher flag, the pokes at you are uninspired at best, revolting at worst. The real value here is LexG’s expert aping of Jeff Wells, both in terms of his taste in films (and the ladies) and his distinct (and distinctly grating) way of communicating. But then again, I’m a sucker for pot-shots at Wells. Even the worst of them get a laugh or two from me.
Poland to Wells: “I saw about 9 movies this year. My favorite was The Heat.” Wells to Poland: “You’ve gotta be f—in kidding me.”
Classic Wells.
That was absolutely hysterical! LexG is a comedic genius. He’s also inappropriate in more ways than one can mention. Good for you taking a joke in stride.
Film blog metadiscourse is no site for humor, silliness, or irony, in my opinion. Fairly amusing video, though

I’m reminded of the episode from Seinfeld where Jerry’s dentist, Tim Whatley, who has recently converted to Judaism, starts telling Jewish jokes. Jerry is annoyed.
“This offends you as a Jewish person,” asks a Catholic priest.
“No, it offends me as a comedian.”
Well, Sasha, you’re a much bigger person than I am, because i totally would’ve been offended by that. But good for you being able to laugh it off.
P.S. I enjoyed the “Team Fincher” flag.
Ha ha ha! Excellent!
