Here at Crasstalk, we definitely love our psychopaths and stories about them. That being said, you will definitely want to see “We Need To Talk About Kevin.” Kevin, the son of would be adventurer Eva (Tilda Swinton), is a great example of a psychopath and what they are capable of doing. Kevin, played as a teenager by Ezra Miller, is just the right amount of creepy to keep you on the edge of your seat. Continue reading
The SAG Award nominations are out, and as many an actor will attest, fawningly, the SAGs are that one award that means the most (Not really. They all want the Oscar.) since it’s chosen by fellow thespians. Is it a complete Oscar predictor? No. But it is a good indicator of who the top contenders will most likely be. Continue reading
If you’re looking for some laugh out loud funny, here it is! Reprising his hilarious Halloween gag on kids, Jimmy Kimmel on his show last week asked parents to trick their kids and give them an early Christmas gift – the catch is, the gifts suck. Gifts include half eaten sandwiches, a potato, and an empty ice container. The kid’s reactions are fairly unsurprising, including tears, but what are a few children crying when you get your YouTube giggles for the day? Comment.
Monkey Mia, located on the Indian Ocean coast of Australia about 800km north of Perth, is a beach-side holiday destination best known for two things: the warm, sunny sub-tropical weather and the dolphins who visit the beach daily for hand-feeding. Continue reading
Whew! Another year has passed and left an oily slick of music in its wake. Some of that music was good and some of it was lousy but on balance, 2011 was a pretty exciting year in the music industry. As expected, CDs continued their slow death march but to the delight of music nerds and audiophiles everywhere, vinyl sales grew. Spotify graced us with its benevolent presence, thereby saving thousands of cubicle dwellers from the tyranny of their coworkers’ Maroon 5 and Taylor Swift playlists. Napster, Spotify’s precursor, bit the dust (much to the delight of Lars Ulrich—more on him later) and iTunes’ creator passed away. Continue reading
To all the Tweeps out there (God, haven’t you always wanted to use that absurd excuse for a word in a sentence?), you might have noticed one of Twitter’s biggest trending topics yesterday was #2011Regrets, a forum for people to share their biggest oopsies of the past year. I mean, mistakes–we all make ’em, right? And sometimes, they’re just not that big a deal. But sometimes they are, and while that sucks, they can also serve to be life lessons. And with that, the Question of the Day: What’s your biggest regret of 2011? Continue reading
Let’s take a look at some of the best television has had to offer. Continue reading
Oh, holy mercy. Just what is a summer blockbuster? Is it something where random people, who should really be working at a water park in Cleveland, have found their way into a movie about make believe ninjas and pseudo-military soldier replicants, marching their way across a movie screen, and mouth-crapping their way through lines that may be scrawled across the palm of their hands in two word syllables? Yes, this is exactly what a summer blockbuster is if you ask G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Continue reading
Hair wizard, and King Midas of the GOP, Donald Trump, has decided that since no one other than, emu oil, Rick Santorum, and Yertle, the Turtle impersonator, Newt Gingrich, wanted to come and play “Embarrass All Republicans Everywhere Forever” — that you know, he should step down from moderating that thing that would have surely won Obama re-election, and probably given him the best Christmas War Holiday present of any he could imagine.
