Oh, holy unblinking eyeballs. That sulky, wallpaper-faced girl from Parks and Recreation has landed herself an indie movie. Continue reading

Many of us were skeptical about NBC’s launch of a show about the underbelly of Broadway, and in conjunction, one rife with musical routines. NBC, not known for big risks, or musical theater, has struggled with their dramatic formula for the past few seasons. Now they planned to attempt drama and in a musical format? We were mostly afraid it would be some low rent Glee offering, with all the pap and cheesetastic nuance that has consumed the once lauded Ryan Murphy juggernaut. Continue reading
George Zimmerman, the still uncharged man who shot and killed Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida exactly one month ago, has approved his attorney and a friend, a black friend, to speak on his behalf. In addition the Sanford police department has spoken to the Orlando Sentinel regarding the case in order to leave little doubt that Zimmerman acted in self-defense. Continue reading
Santorum, now in a contentious fight for the Republican nomination, has entered the playground taunts and mocking part of his campaign. You’ll remember his glee last week at equating rival, Mitt Romney with an Etch-A-Sketch symbolizing the former Massachusetts Governor’s penchant for flip-flopping on issues, at times within the same sentence.

The creator of the Cold Stone Creamery PB&C Shake is probably a monster. No, not a truly evil spectral force, but simply a diabolical, fat-creating, franchise chain gloating, garden variety capitalist gnome. How else to describe the decision to blend chocolate ice cream, milk, and peanut butter into a cup of sin and decadent blasphemy? At 2,010 calories (and with “153g of sugar,” screamed Gooch!), it’s a wonder how any of it just doesn’t clog your arteries within the first luscious sip. I imagine he’s somewhere sitting with tubs full of chocolate and PB in talks on how to expand it all into grocery store sales. You dastardly creamy saturated fat shilling hobgoblin!
Well, let’s be fair, this isn’t exactly a novel idea as Health.com informs us. Continue reading
This morning President Obama gave his first official statement about the Trayvon Martin case. Continue reading
Yes, that’s right, that’s a reference to the 1995 film Johnny Mnemonic starring ambulatory wooden plank, Keanu Reeves. Now, though, they’ve decided to go with an ever more lock-jawed leading man, Robert Pattinson, best known for rendering a legion of teenage girls speechless upon view of his iridescent torso. Continue reading
In the wake of the lessons learned from Sandra Fluke, what the Republicans seem to take from it all is not to be apologetic or remorseful of the wrongdoings of one of their sycophant, mouth pieces, but to find ever inventive ways to recreate the media firestorm that followed Rush Limbaugh’s vitriolic, odd, predatory, and cruel comments about Fluke, a private person speaking publicly about a national issue — but to their advantage. Continue reading
It’s probably fair to say that this second season was really a tale of two disparate seasons. We began in a place that so far stretched the limits of modern television drama that it was enough to make even the most staunch soap opera fan weep. It was filled with long expositions about the meaning of life, life without hope, what it means to be truly dead, and if there is ever a hope of seeing the Walkers as anything but ambulating meat sacks during near constant contemplation of right and wrong.

Oh, good grief. Johnny Depp is Johnny Depping all over another movie. Continue reading
