Did the Mad Men Season 3 Premiere Live Up to the Hype?
Well the first episode of the new season of Mad Men just ended. Let's scan the internet to get the immediate reactions of a few folks, shall we?
Let's Get Ready for Lost
I don't know about you, but I am pooping kittens in anticipation of Wednesday's Lost season premiere. The great big mystery machine is my favorite thing on the air. Let's look at a little preview.
Ralph Nader, Asshole
Guess who's here: Ralph Nader! The irritating old fool went completely around the bend this year, and now he's on Fox News calling Barack Obama an Uncle Tom. That's right! The formerly respectable lefty consumer advocate—seriously, we didn't even hate on him after 2000—now just says outrageous nonsense for attention,…
Jim and Pam Sittin’ In A Tree…
Our country is self-destructing before our very eyes. Banks are collapsing, wars are raging, politicians are canceling their appearances on Letterman, but at least we can still rely on true love. That’s right, on last night’s hour-long season premiere of The Office, we finally got the satisfaction of seeing ... um,…
What Will Our President of Tomorrow Look Like in the Future?
Click to viewThe presidency ages a man. (And hypothetically it would a woman, but we'll never know!) Remember when there was color in Bill Clinton's and George W. Bush's hair? Barely? After two terms in the Oval Office, both men looked twenty years older. This despite the fact that Bush gets 12 hours of sleep a night…
Next Four Eliminations Leaked to the Web
The tumult surrounding Project Runway continues, now with illicit spoilers. The fashion design competition show has been involved in all sorts of hullabaloo ever since the news dropped that the series would be moving from Bravo to Lifetime after the 5th season, which premiered last week. NBC Universal was pissed and…
In Which We Start To Say Goodbye (Yet Again) to Lost
Tonight begins the two-part, three hour long finale of this most wonderful of seasons of Lost. The ABC mind-bender show has been in top form this year, with its tantalizing ballet of bobs and weaves, feints and hints. We now know who the Oceanic Six are, but still not why they are (we will learn something about that…
OMFG: Serena's Big Secret
It's amazing to watch a show wildly redeem and practically reinvent itself in one night. The episode, written brilliantly by Paul Sciarrotta (seems to be his first episode!), was funny and suspenseful and, um, downright shocking at the end. (Well, as shocking as a network television show about dopey teenagers can…
Iron Man 2: It's Inevitable
Did you go see Iron Man this weekend? The whizbang blow 'em up made made more money than God, so we're assuming you were one of the gurgling many who showed up to watch Charlie Chaplin dance for his career. (I know, he's great in it and it's frickin' awesome and blah blah). Did you stay through the end? If not, you…
Newsweek Critic Celebrates Retirement By Spoiling Cinema's Greatest Endings
Since put-upon, soon-to-retire film critic David Ansen officially has nothing to lose by prattling on at length over at Newsweek, expect a lot more pieces like the one in the magazine's current issue. To wit: Hollywood movies have lousy endings! And: Here, let me give them all away!
'Post' Rats Out 'Sopranos' Secrets
For a variety of reasons we were unable to catch last night's penultimate "Sopranos." We've already informed most of our friends (that is, everyone on IM) not to tell us what happened, and we've avoided every website we know that might reveal any spoilers. This leaves us with very little to read. Oh, well, we thought:…
