Who Wants to be a Superhero? was both sweet and fun in its first season. It didn't try all those manipulative editing tricks other reality shows do. But that also made it a little lame, certainly not edgy at all.

I agree with Lone Audience. I'd rather see The Joneses than this, because at least its premise is leaning towards something different.

That's Wild and Krazy Kids to you, Mister.

@Monkeylit— Yeah, I heard an interview with O'Reilly last month where he actually made some very good points. Either he's toning it down, or everyone looks good compared to Beck.

Berklee has fraternities? They must be the most emo fraternities ever. [Fellow Boston alum…]

I don't know who this guy is
Which is exactly why he should be honored— unlike all these camera grabbing celebs today, Ellis actually made a difference to the music scene without needing to grabbed notoriety. I admire him all the more for his abilities to labor in the background without becoming another musician who…

I believe that the radio version, fearing people would not understand the lyrics, mandated "if I was green I would die."

Crocs: Brought to You By That Douchebag From CNBC
In an interview with Jim Cramer, he admits that he and a bunch of Wall Street friends purposely bought stock in a "stupid plastic shoe" company in order to raise its value, then pulled out.

An Education
I'd say that's a better than good movie. Certainly my favorite of the Oscar 10 this year. AV Club did give it an A, as mentioned above…

I know I owned this one
Because I distinctly remember listening to "Meet Virginia," "Blue," and "I Try" over-and-over again. I must have automatically skipped a few however, because some of them are only vaguely familiar instead of burned into my brain.

That song is still awesome, no matter what Rabin says. I seem to remember thinking the music video was very high-tech, but it was 2000…

@scotteb— I recognize your icon and support your wishes to congratulate Sparky Awesomeness.

@Baxter— I've shied away from her films for the exact opposite reason—a friend saw "Fat Girl" and said it haunted her for weeks. When she explained it to me it sounded horrific but interesting.

*ahem*
Mr. Neurbergersonduham, or whatever his name is, makes that point that the lives of "unborn babies" were used as a bargaining chip in the health care debate. He is correct.

@lexicondevil— His Dark Materials not only predates Harry Potter, but it predates them by a large margin. The 3rd book, which took years, came out before the 4th HP had reached the US. Also, the books are probably too mature, especially the final one, for conservative US kiddy film adaptations.

Eragon
I'm pretty sure Star Wars and LotR combined to make this movie, but since it's based off "original" source material, I suppose it doesn't count.

@PB— One would think that Sherlock Holmes, being in the public domain and not requiring big budget SFX, would be any easy do for any schlock studio. Instead we've got dinosaurs, dragons, Iron Man, and terrible acting.

@LCosgrove— There were ninjas? I must have fallen asleep or something… That movie was terrible, and the last (and only) time I give my $10 to Uwe Boll.

One of them was definitely Felli/Killi. The other was an elf. The descriptors weren't very useful in figuring out what their role in the films was. More a generic "beautiful and perky elf" thing.

Yep.
I just talked to the casting office in LA yesterday. They posted breakdowns for two female characters I'd never heard of, but then again I don't remember The Hobbit that well.
