I'd say Fincher's last three films have all had striking trailers that function as works of art on their own, although all three yielded films of varying quality.  I still find Benjamin Button to be one of the most disappointing films of the last decade primarily because the trailer was so mesmerizing, whereas the

I thought James Dean was always dressed as James Franco

The Ralph Macchio show would have been superlative.

This is actually standard procedure in many third-world countries.

Hardcore Will Never Die, But This List Will.

At first I thought you said DAWES Butler, and I was all ready to call blasphemy, because everyone knows that you don't take the Lord's name in vain.

I saw an article the other week about how Guy Fieri is a raging creep/homophobe/asshole in real life (whereas on the show he's just a regular ol' d-bag), and it was sweet, sweet schadenfreude of the highest order.  But then I realized that everyone pretty much assumed as much, and nothing would change as a result of

And his rat was inside Oliv…oh just forget it. This whole article is making me sick.

I didn't think it was possible, but somehow the picture accompanying this article is too dignified for the article itself.

Anyone else remember the old episode Hard Sell, where they're working at some telemarketing company?  Tech Support totally reminded me of it (in a good way!).  It featured maybe my favorite Butthead line of all-time, when he's talking to someone over the phone using a prepared set of greetings: "God evening, my name

Beavis was always much more naive and less in-tune with what was deemed cool or uncool than Butthead, which is why he needed Butthead there to guide him (and by "guide him" I mean "berate him and slap him in the face repeatedly").

I loved how both of these episodes felt like classic B&B (especially Tech Support), mainly because they both featured our eponymous protagonists seeking out simple pleasures but leaving a trail of violence and destruction in their wake, pretty much entirely by accident.  Other things that felt pleasantly familiar: 1)

I remember a friend of mine had the B&B "EnSucklopedia" and I used to go over to his house all the time just to read it.  Just like the show it was remarkably crass but clever and strangely innocuous all at the same time.  God I love Beavis and Butthead.

I think it's a great film too, and the tonal shifts—which are a bit jarring the first time through—really don't bother me on subsequent viewings once I know what to expect.  And besides, you know what other great sci-fi flic has similar shifts in tone?  2001: A Fucking Space Odyssey. So there.

Seriously, if they just said, "We're banning these types of programs because they're all uniformly terrible and provide no redeeming social value whatsoever" I'd respect them a bit and might actually kind of side with them.  But by using such comical rationale they just come off as humorless wanks (or rather, hilarious

You mean Young Michael Ian Black

If Clint Eastwood plays Megan Fox then Morgan Freeman has to play Shia, obviously.

God The Woods is just balls-to-the-wall guitar-rock awesomeness through-and-through.  It's so big and loud and epic.  Has there been a better swan song album in the last 15 years?

Seriously though, when you replace When It Started with New York City Cops the album goes from being very good to damn near perfect, at least as far as guitar-driven rock albums go.  The only real weak point in my mind is Alone, Together (which, in its defense, is probably only because it's sandwiched in-between
