  • The Grand Budapest Hotel Trailer: Haters to the Perfectly Framed Center

    Wassup, Wes Siiide! Really excited to share the new trailer for The Grand Budapest Hotel with you all today. Wes Anderson was one of my favorite filmmakers when I was a teenager, so I feel like I already have a lot emotionally invested in this movie. Watching his films just makes me feel like a […]

    Johnny and Jameis and Why College Football Works

    Last weekend I was talking to a friend who doesn’t like college football. This is a perfectly reasonable opinion when you remember what we’re talking about. College football is screwed up in so many different ways that it’s impossible to keep track of just who’s getting screwed at any given moment. Except you never forget […]

    No ‘Hey!’: The Head and the Heart and the Way Forward for Folk

    When did the “Hey!” Folk invasion of pop music officially become unbearable? Was it American Idol winner/poor man’s Dave Matthews Phillip Phillips co-opting the sound that launched a thousand Mumfords on his ubiquitous debut single “Home” (which inexplicably pushed his album, The World From the Side of the Moon, to platinum status)? Was it that […]

    The 10 Greatest Anti-Riveras of the NHL (Ranked!) (Again!)

    Last week, I looked at the NHL’s Mariano Riveras, the 10 best in hockey history who spent their entire career with one franchise. Then I tried to rank them. Then everyone yelled at me. So, fun times all around. A reader suggested a natural follow-up: the anti-Riveras, superstars who spent their career bouncing around multiple […]

    What a Difference a Day Makes in the LCS

    Kicking the Momentum Fairy in the ass, the Dodgers and Tigers shrugged off tough losses, hoisting themselves back into their respective series with convincing wins Wednesday. Here’s what went down. The Dodgers showed that spending a quarter-billion dollars can have some advantages after all. Absorbing $260 million worth of salary and surrendering multiple quality prospects […]

  • Damon Lindelof Quit Twitter! (Or DID He?) (Yes. Yes He Did.)

    Damon Lindelof no longer exists! Not on Twitter, anyway. On Monday afternoon, the Lost co-showrunner, screenwriter, and longtime social-media gadfly/punching bag tweeted one last joke — the cut-to-black-on-Tony-eating-onion-rings-ish sentence fragment “After much thought and deliberation, I’ve decided t” — and then deactivated his Twitter account. So far he’s been declining interview requests, but according to […]

    About Last Night: It’s Austin, Mr. Jackson If You’re Nasty

    In case you were busy preparing to take back a national park from the bears, here’s what you missed in sports on Wednesday: Jim Leyland’s decision to move Austin Jackson down in the batting order could not have worked out better, as the Tigers outfielder broke out of his slump, reaching base in all four […]

    17 Seasons in, South Park Misses Its First Deadline

    It happened, people — South Park didn’t finish its homework on time. This might not shock anyone who has seen 6 Days to Air, the documentary that details the insanely tight turnaround Trey Parker and Matt Stone impose on themselves, but it’s indeed a new occurrence in the show’s 16-year, 240-episode history. “It sucks to […]
