Martin’s favorite bird isn’t a raven; Disney to destroy animation forever; Elisabeth Hasselbeck spit-flecks as a Fox News robo-troll; and JayZ and Beyoncé to march into your living room while you eat noodles.

So, they’re making a movie of your life. Just the interesting parts, you know. Like that big fight in the street in front of the bar that night. And the touching reunion you had with [insert name here]. And that ugly break-up. And the time you slept with [name redacted], despite your better judgment.
