The people don’t understand satire. Satire is social activisim via wit. It’s shinning a light on horrible systematic injustices by exposing them. A white guy getting up at an awards show that is predominately white and guyish and then smugly shitting all over everyone who isn’t a 30+ white guy? That’s just an asshole.

Beyonce and Destiny’s Child and Beyonce’s all woman tour band, Suga Mama’s were so awesome they may have knocked out power at the Super Bowl.

Oh internet how deeply I am disappointed in you. When Jennifer Lawrence ran up there and the first thing out of her mouth was “I beat Meryl?” She was, in fact referring to the First Wives’ Club. Get it together internet! That’s the movie where three middle aged women do terrible things to their exes [...]

I had a moment of pause before walking into The Bourne Legacy. For some reason I read Tony Gilroy and thought Tony Scott and there was a brief moment of terrible nerves. Scott’s final films were kinetic to the visual extreme. The man whose cinematic propensities would inspire a whole generation of filmmakers who would [...]

In a decision that’s maybe a little baffling and certainly commendable–if just for what it’s meant to accomplish, Youtube has opted to make a slow move to using real names on Youtube.

One of my earliest memories is sitting on the back porch watching the space shuttle launch on television and then watching it go up in flames. I was still too young to realize I’d just witnessed the Challenger disaster and instead I only felt [...]

Nora Ephron was the first screenwriter I knew. I was a kid when When Harry Met Sally (there were orgasms in it so it was forbidden) and Sleepless in Seattle (never has stalking been so romantic!) came out and she often dominated the stories related to those films. When Ephron, the only person to pen [...]

At age 2, Meow the cat gained much notoriety after his senior owner relinquished ownership of the feline who weighed in initially at over 40 pounds. His adorable face, personality, and girth made him an instant sensation in an age that loves its LOLZ. Sadly, Meow passed away – still a kitten at age 2. [...]

      My heart is heavy as  I report that the Hostess company, perhaps best known for immortal* pastry the Twinkie, is filing for bankruptcy. Shit has not been easy for this beloved purveyor of plastic-wrapped delicacies. They just restructured their ish in a bid to come out swinging, but alas, it seems to [...]

If you were a fan of superheroines in 2011 then odds are you’re pretty dang depressed. DC radically changed many of their heroines. Some lost a few brain cells, others had their 60+ year origins radically altered and one found herself walking after being an icon for over twenty years. Over at Marvel they did [...]
