Stomp the Yard was on TV a few weeks back, and, having never seen it before, I caught a few minutes of it. At first, I was upset that Chris Brown was in it, then ecstatic when he got shot.

Everyone laughs, even though this barely resembles a joke and is, in
fact, the bluntly stated subtext of both their relationships and the
entire show.

I rarely go to concerts, but I went and saw Springsteen at Wrigley Field on Saturday night. It poured for the second half and we were on the field, getting soaked, but it was a great time. Plus, it was awesome that he brought out Eddie Vedder and Tom Morello multiple times.

It's probably wrong to judge a film by its trailer, but my first thought after watching it was "Baz Luhrmann never even opened the book, did he?"

Being embarrassingly honest here, but when I first saw this movie (in 8th grade), I wrote a story about how the kid was guilty and ended up murdering Juror #8's family. Juror #8 then went on a revenge spree, killing all the other jurors before being stopped by Peter Fonda.

"How did he know that?" was definitely something that kept going through my mind and kept me from loving the movie in the theater, but as I think about it after, some of it (namely, Bane's "supervillain-itis") makes more sense. I actually think I want to see it again before making a judgment.

I couldn't agree with this more, and it's actually why splitting this up might not be a terrible idea, as they can flesh out some of the rushed plot. The book meanders along for the first 300 pages, making the war seem trivial and focusing on Katniss's issues. Then the last 100 pages has to wrap up everything, so we…

But it seems like after Rob premiered, everybody knew it was an affront to good television and just ignored it. Same goes for stuff like Last Man Standing, Man Up, Work It, or 2 and 1/2 Men. I'd argue that the criticism of Whitney and 2 Broke Girls (and to a lesser extent, Girls) have extended past that.

I love LOST, but I had the same thought. Although if it leads to Brad Pitt taking down zombies with flying Superman punches, that might be okay.

I'm not sure exactly how it works but I'm pretty sure there are SAG rules that determine where a guest star's name gets placed in the credits. Apparently, you can get an exemption, but I think it can take a long time to get that. I remember hearing that Battlestar got an exemption once, but it took months to get…

I remember my dad doing a similar thing a few times - letting me skip school to go to Indians day games and even the 1995 team parade. (Yes, we had a parade for a team that didn't win the championship. If we had to wait for one, we'd be waiting another 50 years.)
