That's a tough one.  Hosea was a self-important douche nozzle who ended up cheating on his girlfriend by making out with a fellow chef.  He then only narrowly beat his competition because said competition made a dessert straight out of 1987.  But Sarah just seems like such a nasty, two-faced bitch-stick.  I would like

Do not talk shit about Marci X.

So now we hate Tilda Swinton and a cute dog?  Just keep phonin' em in, Amelie.  We're all real proud of you here.

Saw this last night.  I think where this film really excelled is showing the joy and excitement a teenager would get out of suddenly obtaining super powers, and the rather selfish ways they would utilize them.  You definitely get a bit of a cathartic thrill when the boys learn how to fly.  However, the film grows more

I think what I found most disturbing about this episode was how Pee-Wee Herman was made to look extra small at the judge's table.  Either the man is the size of an infant, or they gave him an extra short chair.  But the question then is, why?  Look at the man's face!  I felt like I was watching some sort of deranged

Completely agree with Reinhold Goldthwait.  There are six chefs left at this point, and the challenge is…to cater a block party.  Wow!!!  And the twist?  To make it healthy!   Holy shit, my mind is blown!  These are the challenges you see in week two.  And to have it come after the Snow White challenge and those

I'm fairly certain I slept with this chick my freshman year of college.  I didn't like her then, either.

Nice try, Ms. Heigl.  That shit don't fly here. 

Completely disagree. This movie is God-awful.  The action scenes are terrible.  It's so obviously CGI that it's the equivalent of watching a video game for two hours.  Here is how the entire films plays out:  CGI fighter plane sequences, cut to guy inside plane saying some cliched bullshit (although he clearly isn't

Agreed, FigPlucker.  Stefan ended up losing to Hosea because he presented a dessert that looked and tasted like it was from 1985.  I think the only season that had a more upsetting win was when Kevin won season 7 over Angelo, who was suffering from food poisoning.  And I had to look up Kevin's name, as he was so

I kept hoping she would suddenly start plugging Prometheus because, seriously, what summer blockbuster do you think the majority of Top Chef's viewing audience is going to see?  Plus, while the Snow White-inspired dishes were pretty incredible, imagine Prometheus-inspired ones?  That would be amazing.

Fabio was likeable.  He talked about bunky beds.  Give me Fabio over the bitch quartet of this season.

I agree with most everything you say, especially about Hosea's win.  I do think, however, that the New York season had a generally more likeable group of chefs (OK, not Hosea or Leah).  Even the villain of that season, Stefan, came across as rather endearing due to his camaraderie with Fabio.  And while I will agree

The problem with Carano is she has this really affectless voice, so no matter what she says, she sounds completely bored and disinterested.  She also has a half-smile plastered across her face in every scene that sometimes works, and sometimes really doesn't.  But it's always there, like she's either smiling about a

Saw this Wednesday night.  It's Steven Soderbergh cool, if that makes sense, and I mean that as a compliment.  The fight scenes are definitely worth the price of admission, as they are well-choreographed and shot mostly from a distance so that we can see the time and effort that went into creating them and the brutal

This season of Top Chef has been really terrible, the worst in my opinion.  Even the ill-fated Hosea-winning New York season was better than this garbage.  However, this episode was Top Chef at its finest.  After an obnoxious, pointless and borderline-maddening Quickfire challenge, during which I could only bother to

Malibu Chris.  Ever since it was revealed he was a former fatty, it all began to make perfect sense:  His innocent and somewhat fumbling flirtations with the female chefs, his obsession with other people's attractiveness.  It soon became clear this was a man who desperately, DESPERATELY wants to get laid but still

M:I 4 is definitely worth the IMAX upcharge.  The Dubai scene is incredible, but I gotta give a shout-out to the end parking garage sequence.  Holy shit, was that well-choreographed.  However, the only thing I kept thinking about was how much it reminded me of the doors sequence in Monsters Inc.  Still impressive,

I thought this episode was terribly edited.  So the chefs get to critique one another?  That should be incredibly interesting and exciting.  And then…nothing.  We don't even get to see them tasting one another's food, save for a few shots here and there, and even those are inconsistent.  And then we hear secondhand

That's the entire point.  You're basically saying that men should only do the physical tasks, while women should stick with the thought-based tasks.  Because, you know, men can't think, and women can't do anything physical.
