Tweets About the 18th Annual SAG Awards

It was kind of difficult to find tweets about the SAG Awards last night. I don’t think many people tweet about them because the award statuette is scary. It has no face. NO. FACE. It’s like The Blank from Dick Tracy. Anyways, I did manage to round up some REALLY good reactions from some of...

9 Twitter Reactions to This Year’s Oscar Nominations

I accidentally woke up at 5:15 a.m. this morning and thought I would just stay up and watch the grand announcement of Oscar nominations by Jennifer Lawrence (a.k.a. Katniss Everdeen) and A.M.P.A.S. President Tom Sherak. I fell asleep five minutes later. I woke up about two hours later and read the nominations. I automatically recognized...

Downton Abbeyoncé: The Best Tumblr Created in 2012 (So Far)

What do you get when you take the most talked about sudsy high-brow, class-driven show with the most talked about “Bootylicious” baby mama of the moment? You get Downton Abbeyoncé, the best Tumblr site that fuses stills from Downton Abbey with lyrics diva growled by Beyonce. I have now found what I shall be reading...
Good and Bad Ideas: A 'Bridesmaids' Sequel, A 'Carrie' Remake, Another 'Sh*t Girls Say' Trope

Good and Bad Ideas: A ‘Bridesmaids’ Sequel, A ‘Carrie’ Remake, Another ‘Sh*t Girls Say’ Trope

So there are talks of a Bridesmaids sequel without the Kristen Wiig. I am pretty sure I heard a collective grown around the world when this news was announced. It’s not the fact that Kristen Wiig won’t be involved, but it’s the fact that this idea exists. Did we not learn anything from The Hangover...
Memorable Tweets From New Year's Eve 2012

Memorable Tweets From New Year’s Eve 2012

On New Year’s Eve, you will usually hear me saying something like, “I don’t care for New Year’s Eve anymore. That’s why I don’t go out.” That translates to: “I don’t do anything because I am lazy, boring, and being in crowds makes me feel awkward, creeped out and makes me pee in my pants...
Best of 2011: 'Happy Endings'

Best of 2011: ‘Happy Endings’

Happy Endings is by far my favorite new show of 2011…even though it isn’t necessarily BRAND NEW. Currently in its second season, Happy Endings is one of those show which I flocked to late in the game. The snappy writing, appropriate inappropriateness, the witty quips, and approachable pop culture references make the show a stand-out...

SF Sketchfest has announced their lineup and it is quite fantastic if I do say so myself. Celebrating it’s 11th year, the San Francisco Comedy Festival will be honoring Eddie Izzard and the Upright Citizens Brigade. In addition, this year’s roster is filled with some top-notch performers that will spread joy, hilarity and possibly some...
Hunger Games moment of the week: Lenny Kravitz gets angry

Hunger Games moment of the week: Lenny Kravitz gets angry

As we all know, Lenny Kravitz will be playing the visionary soft-spoken stylist Cinna to Jennifer Lawrence‘s Katniss in the HIGHLY anticipated The Hunger Games. The following video doesn’t have anything to do with that, BUT it’s quite entertaining. Watch Lenny go H.A.M. as he gets angry at things such as traffic, linoleum, and walnuts:...
Reasons That 'Hall Pass' is Supposed to be Funny

Reasons That ‘Hall Pass’ is Supposed to be Funny

Hall Pass is one of those movies where you watch the trailer and say, “That looks like its going to be funny.” The operative key words in that sentence arelooks like. That said, upon walking into the theater for the screening, I was told that it was a Farrelly Brothers movies and my hopes kind...

The Most Brilliant Academy Award Winning Trailer Ever

Just watch and you’ll agree.

Julia Stiles is actually kind of funny

Julia Stiles has never made me laugh in any of her movies. Well, there was her role in the Bourne series, but I don’t think that was supposed to make me laugh. Then there is that one scene in 10 Things I Hate About You where she recites that poem. Again, I don’t think that’s...

LOL quote of the moment: Marshall from ‘United States of Tara’

He looked like a retarded Mark Harmon. - said by Marshall (Keir Gilchrist) in reaction to his Aunt Charmaine’s (Rosemarie DeWitt) casual fondness of a male attendant at his mom’s psychiatric facility.
