watch it: 1970s Dodge Charger commercial
I’ve always been annoyed that the subtext of most car commercials is, “If you buy this car, girls will want to fuck you,” but it ain’t even the subtext here — it’s the text:
North American box office: ‘Alice’ magically successful
A quick look at last week’s box office as we head into the new weekend (this is where losing a day early in the week leaves me — late late late): 1. Alice in Wonderland: $62.7 million (2nd week; drops 46%) 2. Green Zone: $14.3 million (NEW) 3. She’s Out of My League: $9.8 million … more…
why didn’t they just ask, “Would you like to shag David Tennant?”
A hard-hitting investigative report leaked to the Mirror recently revealed some outrageous aspects of female sexuality. Kinsey would be shocked: Facial stubble and a geeky personality are top in a list of women’s secret turn-ons, a survey out yesterday revealed. Truly, this is astonishing news.

No prizes, it’s just for fun. “Honestly, dudes, I don’t have any spare change”: Warner Bros. tells us about the movie: In “Clash of the Titans,” the ultimate struggle for … more…
because Syfy wasn’t kidding when they said they don’t like sci fi
It was exactly a year ago that the Sci Fi Channel announced that it would be changing its name to Syfy. And much geek angst ensued. Did this mean the network — a haven for nerds even if it was even then falling down on its apparent stated mission to, you know, present science fiction … more…
‘Lost’ blogging: “Recon”
