My Canadian friend has an interesting way of saying "sorry" that we can't shut up about.

I'm going to make this a Boxing Day that the Prime Minister will never forget!

The trailer I saw was one of the funniest things I'd seen in a while, so…

My mom took us to see Independence Day when my brother was about that age, and he was terrified. She realized later that, as we lived in DC and our extended family was all in New York, she'd just taken him to see a movie where the only two cities he knew were destroyed.

No, the brother with the stupid hat (Michael) won. We're just all talking about Kevin because we like him more.

You do have to be very, very careful with the awesome power of Lordi. It is not for the weak.

Michael's arrogance about Kevin's style is going to bite him on the ass. At least, I hope it does.

Iceland already sent their answer to Sascha Baron Cohen to Eurovision. She had a mildly entertaining song that didn't make it past the semifinals, got into "fights" with some journalists and other contestants, and I believe I'm the only one who remembers her.

Simon Cowell could never recreate the magic of Eurovision
It is far too goddamn insane to be made on purpose.

Yeah, Spice World is pretty amazing in its insanity.

My friend and I rented this once, because we were hoping it would at least be ridiculous.

Eh, like all the Lady Gaga songs I've heard, it's okay but not great. Some parts are pretty neat, but all in all I wish she'd go for it more. The video looks amazing but the song can't quite keep up.

Er, better material? You can't just say "it's techno" (which it isn't) or "it's pop" and leave it at that. Like any genre, some is better and some is worse. I'm not expecting her to be as good as Kylie (although that's something to reach for), but if she's going to talk big she has to come up with something at least

My problem is that her songs just aren't good enough. If you're going to be the bizarro pop star and talk about how much better you are than the other pop stars, hire some Swedes and back it up.

I thought that 'cub' already meant something. Is Madonna stealing even more from the gay community now?

I don't think Blaine would be into anyone's mother.

You better push the button and let me know?

I thought his name was Warren!

Empire Records
While it seems every other girl can quote Steel Magnolias (which is an ability I have yet to develop), I can quote Empire Records pretty much by heart. And do. And then no one gets it.

I thought Beowulf was awful.
