Sitting down to watch last night’s season opener of the HBO run-away hit True Blood, I was struck by a jarring thought: I Have No Idea What Happened Last Season. I knew this was an existential sense of dread, and not a practical one – after all, nothing is more common at the start of [...]

Before anyone had even seen a single episode of Girls the racism talk had begun. And if you’re even remotely attuned to the color problem in American media you could see why this talk was happening. The show was shockingly white and the cast all even seemed to sort of look the same. But it [...]

  Ha ha, you guys, you guys – Anna Paquin and her husband/co-star Stephen Moyer are having a baby! But that’s not why I’m laughing. I am laughing because of the article I’ve linked to here is all “True Blood? More like True Baby!” And really guys what does that even mean? What does it [...]

Last night’s epsiode of Smash didn’t stand a chance. I had planned on watching the show as I usually do – on my lunch break from my 8 – 5 job, hunched over my iPhone, taking notes and cackling into my turkey sandwich. But Amtrak had other plans. Or should I say Amtrak as assisted [...]

  I kind of feel like maybe I would be friends with Jeremy Sisto, if only because his daughter is named Charlie-Ballerina and because when announcing the birth of his son he tweeted that he bought Charlie a teddy bear from her new brother and wondered if drizzling placenta on it wouldn’t make that more [...]

Confession time internet. I am a well-educated white chick who has been really fortunate in life and continues to work as an artist (of the written word). I’m in my twenties. I am a member of this new fangled “Millennial” generation. Once I nearly lived in New York to write for a major internet blog [...]

Oh Sarah Palin. You titan of politics. I intensely dislike your politics. And your banking on your attractiveness. And I’m not too crazy about quite a few other things about you. But man I got mad respect for the gumption you had back in 2008. It takes a lot to walk onto the national stage [...]

I really like Kelly MacDonald. I would like to say that right here, right now. I  think she’s very talented, and consistently makes distinctive and bold choices when it comes to the film and t.v. projects she signs on to. Her sweet voice, her big brown eyes, her nearly impeccable ability to express vulnerability and [...]

  Chris Lilley is a virtuoso. He is also Australian, so it was only a matter of time before American audiences took an interest. Genius and an accent and we tend to be hooked as viewers. Seriously. I have considered faking an accent in a bid to get people to hang out with me more but [...]

    Are you watching Boardwalk Empire? Because you should probably be watching Boardwalk Empire. I don’t want to toot my own horn (lie: there is nothing I enjoy more than tooting my own horn. Ha. Gross) but when I say, “Are you watching [insert show here]?” you should go watch that show, because the [...]
