Month: January 2011

question of the day: Is Ignatiy Vishnevetsky too young to host Roger Ebert’s new review show?

Tue, Jan 04, 2011
no comments yet

Syfy blasts final episodes of ‘Caprica’

Mon, Jan 03, 2011

I’m simultaneously sad, excited, and angry at this news. Is it worth spending another five hours with this series when I know it’s going to end? Why should I invest more time and emotional energy into characters who are going to leave me shortly?

Mon, Jan 03, 2011

The Christmas special inspired some waggish fans to take to Wikipedia and make some alterations to the entry for Marilyn Monroe based upon that one funny throwaway bit…

watch it: “Ernestine (Lily Tomlin) explains why ‘that’s not covered…’”

Mon, Jan 03, 2011

In the 1970s, when Ernestine was linebacking for The Phone Company, it wasn’t a matter of life and death if she prevented a call from going through… Now the likes of she have the power to kill you. American progress at its finest.

Sun, Jan 02, 2011

Honestly, this is a nice atheist book, full of pleasant memories of childhood Christmases, and plenty of grownup explanations of how and why atheists celebrate Christmas… and even enjoy it.
