Without trying to act like there’s much else to focus on at the moment (unless you want to talk about how Brad Pitt can’t remember faces very well and has very few friends currently but has never been happier?) (that Brad Pitt stuff and this are the…
The website Starcrush, whatever that is, has an exhaustive compendium of side-by-side photographs of 1990s teen heartthrobs in their “prime,” and what they look like today. Interestingly enough, all of the pictures are shot on the set of TV shows,…
When the Jar Jar Binks version of Star Wars came out, I was in the middle of a lot of traveling, and so I missed it in its initial run. By the time I got home, the collective opinion was that the movie was garbage, but somehow I was determined that… In Star Trek: Into Darkness, Captain Kirk is OUR generation’s Maverick, while Spock is his Goose. These guys don’t play by the rules! Well, actually, Kirk doesn’t play by the rules. Spock ONLY plays by the rules, LOL. They put an ice computer inside of a volcano so that the weirdly future-racist “people” of Planet Music Video can worship the spaceship God. This gets Kirk and Spock into some pretty hot water (although not as hot as that volcano AM I RIGHT?) and they are separated onto two different ships except not even because ten seconds later they are back together on their old ship, so I guess that wasn’t that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. Anyway, there is a sick little girl and a stranger heals her by putting his blood into her blood, but in return he makes her dad blow up a library with an Alka Seltzer decoder ring. Then the stranger shoots everyone at Space Headquarters until Kirk throws a fire extinguisher into his engine (five million years in the future, there are portable teleportation pods, and 300 year old Super Humans, and hover-beds, but we still use hose-based fire extinguishers built into the walls) and chases him to the Klingon planet with a bunch of secret torpedoes and a pretty blonde lady. It turns out that the torpedoes are made out of people (Soylent Torpedoes) and the people are friends with Benedict Cumberbatch. The rest of the movie is, like, is Benedict Cumberbatch our friend now? Or is he still our enemy? Will Simon Pegg get the little door open in time? Everyone keeps talking about how war with the Klingons is inevitable even though the Klingons actually don’t seem to be doing anything so where are the Klingons, though? And is a nuclear-based warp drive engine really so fragile that it can simply get bumped off of its axis but then to get it to work again you can just kick it really hard? It’s fun! Fun movie.
I started listening to this TED talks podcast that NPR puts together. It’s OK, I guess. Basically, they pick a theme, like “What’s Up, Creativity,” or “Check Out Space” and pull clips from multiple TED talks that touch upon this theme, and then the…
If you know anyone who is more planet than Ahmed Angel, I doubt it. Show your work! (Via @thegynomite.)
James Franco is on the cover of GQ‘s “Comedy Issue” this month, which I guess makes sense, sort of. He has definitely been in a bunch of comedies, although at this point I feel like he has been in as many non-comedies as he has comedies and that is…
This is the only thing that has ever mattered. (No offense to Froggy Fresh. You are still my main man.) But also Y.N.RichKids 3 LYFE! So so so dope. (Thanks for the tip, Rob.)
I sort of casually mentioned this yesterday in a post, so I apologize for repeating myself, but also I just canNOT get over the fact that Gwyneth Paltrow is selling a $950 shot glass on her lifestyles website. A $950 shot glass! There are other…
You two met under pretty ordinary circumstances. On a break from filming The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Paul headed to the nearest Starbucks for a frappe and accidentally cut you in line. “Oh, I’m sorry — I think I was next,” you said sharply. You didn’t…
