And the man called Rumpelstiltskin, he of thimble-sized laments and vindictive undermining, or as we know him by his earthly name, John McCain, has gotten his way. Continue reading

Now we get to the good stuff. Not that we don’t appreciate the SAG awards and the back-patting that goes on with regard to the “It means so much because this was awarded by my peers” notion, but the Golden Globes is where we may see some nominees pull away from the pack. We also get a more nuanced view of the field as it stands. And while there are still some non-surprises, at least we feel they’re starting to get what we were saying yesterday about Modern Family, as well as making up for some of SAG’s baffling snubs — but not the one regarding Game of Thrones!

Urgh. Haven’t we all had enough of Modern Family? Sure, yes, it was a zingy little show that gave us interesting people who did funny things for a certain amount of time. But now, yes, now? It’s getting a little long in the comedy tooth for copious award nods is it not? Apparently the SAG Award voting block doesn’t seem to think so. On shall the Modern Family horse ride out into the desert wasteland of situation comedy until there is nothing left but Eric Stonestreet in a clown costume scaring the beejesus out of Zooey Deschanel.

Are people really excited about this whole triplet digit day thing? Yes, apparently. For some people this is a day to be regaled with significant remembrance. For others, it’s yet another day drinking coffee and pretending to sit at your desk and work. Yay! for democracy, or something like that. Now then, who are the people all hopped up on numerology today. Continue reading
Why? Because why the hell not! You don’t have anything better to do, so tell us what you loved (or hated) about the 1990’s. Continue reading

The coupling of M. Night Shyamalan and Will Smith. Let’s just say we would’ve been more excited for this match-up in the early aughts. Now it gives us nothing but trepidation. You see, we’ve been let down before by both Shyamalan and Smith when it comes to the Sci-Fi genre. Shyamalan from his overuse of the “plot twist,” to his extremely Meta mind-bending explanations for the obvious, and let’s not forget the blatant trickery (see: The Village). And well, Smith, who started out with a more than promising career as a sci-fi action hero has churned out more than one dud in his time — and that says nothing about the strange eye roll that occurs whenever we hear about he and his son working on a new project.

Far be it from me to tell someone not to write until their heart’s content. I maintain that putting pen to paper, or filling up a blinking cursor with type, can be as cathartic as anything else experienced. However, that doesn’t make it very good, or worth $3.7 Million. And it begs the question if Lena Dunham hadn’t struck a sort of millennial gold with her HBO show, Girls, would the world know about her musings on ice pops, celibacy, and diaries? Continue reading
You know when pranks are the most fun? When you’re a stupid kid at sleepaway camp and someone short sheets your bed, or sticks your fingers in a bowl of water, or puts toothpaste on your face, and when you find out, you’re allowed to give the requisite three punches to the arm. Yes, this is when pranks are basically just goofy little things most kids go through in the process of bonding and finding camaraderie with their fellow kid maniac friends. Continue reading
There is a double Johns (Travolta and Olivia Newton) music video that you must see to be believed; Lifetime to get preachy; George Zimmerman is still a horrible human being; Rom-Com aficionado, James Marsden, tackles the hapless female (Oy); Justin Bieber will be Grammy-less and people (one person) is mad; BWAP, BWAP, BWAP A Tron Sequel trailer will make this noise we bet.

We actually thought the study would say Millennials are afraid of occupations with too many management tiers, or the collapse of Twitter during the Mayan apocalypse. But no, it’s beef. Beef is intimidating, and it mostly has to do with the Millennials lack of producing meals not involving Ramen noodles or the dregs left over in a Starbucks coffee cup. And this has beef manufacturers worried. Continue reading
