Buddhist monks after the Dalai Lama is kidnapped:

7up is angry about its latter-day rebranding:

Seriously though, I keep seeing previews for movies they're showing on TV and they're all like "Mel Gibson stars in…" and I'm like, really? Still? Still a selling point?

I thought we all agreed Changeling Angelina Jolie set the new standard for demented son-back-demanding.

That song is what you hear after a nuclear explosion burns your skin off.

I seem to have been hilariously misreading shit all day
I swear, at first I read the beginning of the Beyonce write-up as "A lifetime ago, when I lived as a Madison cop."

Fuel and Our Lady Peace were both bands that actually came out in like 1997-98, doing this kind of inoffensive post-grunge stuff still being called "alt-rock" at the tail end of the music video era. They both got lost in the shuffle, then like 3 years later came back as hurr bands. So you never know, maybe the Vines…

Also, Morrissey releases probably the best album of his solo career.

I haven't seen Crystal Skull, but I'm guessing that it significantly lowers the James Brown quotient from Blues Brothers 2000. So yeah, BB2000 wins.

oh god
This is ominous. Comparing GB3 to Indiana Jones makes me think Shia LaBoeuf will be cast as Venkman Jr., and this is unacceptable.

I cannot believe I'm the first to bring up yet another of this sketch's amazing aces in the hole, which is "Ducky!" "Get the fuck in here!"

HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THE TIMESTAMPS

Oh God
I SO absolutely read the name in this headline as "Burt Reynolds" and continued reading the article that way until about halfway through, when I started to wonder why O'Neal kept playing the "inevitable" thing. Disappointed.

What about other media?
Albums: Joe Jackson - Night and Day II

Me too. I know it's not exactly subtle or highbrow or anything, but for some reason, voice scramblers are one of those "never not funny" things for me. See also: Huey in the Fried Chicken Flu a few weeks ago.

I'd rather just kick back and watch more of Ice Cube's totally enlightening, not-at-all-stupid reality show "Black.White."

I don't typically like to get involved in the "let's talk about how we do or don't want to bone this actress" discussions, but the Jennifer Aniston thing is just interesting to me, because does anyone else remember the 90s, when she was like, basically what Scarlett Johansson is now? Seriously, for a couple years she…

I know nothing of the actual movie itself, but Tom Petty's soundtrack to She's the One is pretty tits. So I guess non-Office Space Jennifer Aniston movies haven't been a total wash.

If you think about it, different vinyl format sizes makes a hell of a lot more sense than releasing CD singles. Singles are an art form unto themselves, and releasing them on discs big enough to hold entire albums inherently devalues them, making them look shitty by comparison to regular CDs. Even within vinyl…
