What’s the saddest thing you’ve ever seen? A child who’s just been told that there is no Santa, then hit with the pancakes you made him for breakfast? A child building a tiny house of Legos for his pet bird, when it’s attacked by a hawk? A crying Native American? Wrong. A bear without hair is the saddest thing. [...]

Apple’s App Store continues to generate controversy with its bendy inclusion criteria. They’ve allowed the inclusion of Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” in e-book format into the store, despite its racially-insensitive swastika iconography. This in light of its previous rejections of the Obama Hope picture, and notably the Someecards app rejection, on the grounds that it [...]

You know what’s a good idea in this depressed economy? Spending money on movies. Why? Shut up, that’s why. It’s not my place to defend my nonsensical utterances! I’m just here to let you know that there are a couple of interesting movies out this weekend: “The Box” and “The Fourth Kind”.

This is the sort of innovation lacking in American industry. When you have a dude that controls the world’s supply of cocaine, and that dude leaves behind a ridiculously large and opulent piece of property, what would you do with it? Put in a goddamn Ferris wheel, that’s what. [...]

In news that saddens me as a filmmaker, Miramax, the go-to studio for independent features, is shutting down their NYC offices. And… wait a minute, why is Miramax folding before the Weinstein Co.? Didn’t they put out like, one decent movie in this last whole year? Anyway, no matter. Miramax isn’t dying. Miramax is dead. [...]

When you think of minivans, you don’t often think of them being cool. More like, boxes, that lug around what was once cool, twenty years ago. A mobile container of atrophy. The devil’s pipe. But Honda is looking to change all of that. [...]

NO WAY. REALLY? The guy that looks like he totally smokes weed ends up being a guy that “totally smokes weed”? Nice work there, Sherlock. Why don’t you accuse The Hulk of being “muscly” or the sky for being “far away and blue”? Dumbasses. How long did that one take to figure out?
Dude got pulled [...]
