Guys. Guys. Enough about straw and silk flowers. What about the time Hildi mounted an entire living room set to someone's ceiling?? (You can see a picture on this Buzzfeed article, because apparently Buzzfeed never forgets)

I adore Come Dine With Me, partially because it's so ridiculous and unfair. People are encouraged to snoop around each other's homes; the narrator is mega-snarky; and it seems so easy to rig the voting for deliberately underscoring your competitors. Plus, the value of the prize (£1,000) is never worth how much they…
We have a similar drama playing out in Canada. A national radio host, Jian Ghomeshi, has been formally accused by three women of sexual assault, along with six more speaking anonymously to the media, and one man. In response, a lawyer wrote an article explaining why many people will not come forward with rape and…
Horrifyingly similar. I'm glad a dialogue has been opened in Canada regarding the unjust treatment of sexual assault victims — from a system that demands physical evidence that they can frequently never provide to the scrutiny that their personal character undergoes during an assault trial — but I'm frightened when I…
I thought My Secret Identity gave us Jerry O'Connell? Otherwise, how did I reach adulthood assuming Jerry O'Connell could fly using cans of spray paint?
Good to see this. I just watched Dear Zachary based on the recommendations here, and it made me pretty uncomfortable. The editing/quick cuts felt childish and at times manipulative, and while quite a few people have defended it as being about emotion, the film expresses some pretty strong opinions on the Canadian…
Watched Grizzly Man a couple of days ago, funnily enough. Keep in mind that Treadwell didn't make the documentary, just contributed to the footage used in it. It definitely didn't change directions for Werner Herzog, who set out to examine this strange man whose passion got him killed — it's exactly what the…
Holy cow, I had no idea that this documentary existed, so thank you for posting it. As a Newfoundlander, I have vague memories of this drama playing out on the local news, but I clearly was not paying that much attention to it. Definitely getting added to my watch list.
It's gonna be great.
Ugh. Kai felt like the Scrappy Doo of this season. I'm all for Jinora getting more character development via her interactions with kids her own age, but not with Kai, the wallet-stealing Wunderkind.
I… Alright, I'm sold. Sir, I would like to buy your reenactment of Star Wars using FFVI's sprites!
BSG Crush: Bill Adama. Yeah, I harbour a crush on the then-57 year old Edward James Olmos. You wanna fight about it!?
Shadow is the Han Solo type in Final Fantasy VI.
Funnest Favourite Character: Saul Tigh, since Michael Hogan bears more than a passing resemblance to John Dunsworth, the actor who portrays Jim Lahey on Trailer Park Boys. My partner and I had come fresh off a stint of watching Trailer Park Boys when we started BSG, so drunken Saul Tigh acting an awful lot like…
Nothing but the rain!
You get the dubious credit of making me snort lemonade up nose, and in turn spraying it all over my desk, as I made the unfortunate mistake of taking a drink while reading this. So, uh…well done?
Exactly what I'm emphasize when I recommend BSG to people who haven't seen it before. My god if they didn't trip over their own feet and create a bungled mess of a story at times, but I love them for trying stuff that was different.
It was mind-blowingly bad, to the point where I thought that it must have been intentional. Admittedly, it was only the third episode of CSI I ever watched, but while it was on, I actually had to check to make sure it was a "new" episode as the announcer had promised, and not an episode that was filmed in CSI's first…
No, no, you gotta hear about it. I saw the episode of CSI: Something that Patricia Arquette guested on as a kind of trial run for this Cyber thing. Ok, remember that episode of Ghostwriter that had a young Julia Stiles in it reciting a bunch of bullshit jargon written by a group of folks who knew nothing about…
The Rear Window one is painful. Rear Window isn't about movement. It's about atmosphere, and feeling that stifling heat that's in the air, and listening to the quippy dialogue. There are two great moments of movement in Rear Window: 1. Jeff falling from the window. 2. Lisa moving across the room to turn on the…
