They can't all be Scent of a Woman, can they?
Film legend Walter Murch deserves every accolade he's ever received (except that Oscar for editing The English Patient, which we can all agree could've been cut in half). If he says 3D is hokum, it is.—JS
Did somebody say DANCE MUSIC!?!?—JS

The last five Best Picture winners haven't been particularly "Oscary"... could new front-runner The King's Speech change all that?—JM
Once "Friday Night Lights" goes off the air, the title of The Best Show on TV is back up for grabs. I'm just sayin'.—JM

Newsweek's 14th annual Oscar Roundtable features Annette Bening, Colin Firth, James Franco, Nicole Kidman, Natalie Portman, and Michelle Williams talking about on-screen kisses, on-set injuries, babies, and how actors are treated like babies.—BK
You've probably never heard of Voros McCracken, but you should have; his statistical discovery has transformed the game of baseball over the last ten years, though sadly, it has done little to transform his own life.—BK

I'm not going to lie to you. I didn't read all of this. I'm linking strictly because it includes this sentiment: "Looks like William Shatner if William Shatner ate a racist butter sculpture of William Shatner."—TG
It's short, but it's Patton Oswalt.—TG

A nice look at many of the qualities that have made the show such a success. (Unfortunately, several of the points are made by using an upcoming episode as an example, so beware of spoilers.)—BK

You can't spell "forecasting" without "ignore facts!" (Or "finger tacos," for whatever that's worth.)
More and more men are quarantining themselves from children, out of fear that observers may regard them as molesters. Some society we've created.—JS
For a Cracked article, this is a downright serious examination of how digital distribution models are being hobbled to keep the old paystreams viable.—JS

My only question for Mr. Schur is a repurposing of a line from his own character, Ron Swanson: "What's a non-gay way to ask him to go camping with me?" (As you might expect, this link is chock full of spoilers.)—BK
If you're keeping score at home, that's PoopReading.com contributor Brandon Kruse 1, all of these people 0. Happy 40th Birthday, Brandon!—JM
An argument that our era of "Twitter-sized attention spans" might actually be better than the way it used to be before? Sure... I'll bite.—JM

It's almost back it's almost back it's almost back it's almost back!! (If I could have just placed a crude drawing of me dancing here instead of a blurb, I would have done so.)—BK

This is an easy enough find-and-replace task, but I've probably spent a significant portion of my editorial life correcting this error.—TG

Looks like Clint is no longer satisfied with just appearing in his brother's movies; now he's getting in on Ron's interviews too. (Contains some mild spoilers for The Dilemma.)—BK

Don't feel too bad, you can always try again with your Groundhog Day Self-Improvement Oaths!
I can't wait. You watch the Oscars to win, but you watch the Globes to have fun.—JS
This guy creates forgeries of old paintings, donates them to galleries just for the thrill of it, and then disappears. I hate to spoil the ending, but there's no helicopter chase.—JS
Arment's usual spot-on analysis may only interest the Apple geeks, but I've linked it because I can never help reading his posts in the voice of Marco from The Impostors.—JS
Jan 13, 2011
You can always count on Cracked.com.—JM
I happen to think Tim Pawlenty is the only Republican who could beat Obama. Which isn't to say that he would... just that he's the only one who maybe could.—JM
Jan 12, 2011
Fun stuff, if you were a fan of the Golden Age. (And yes, the link is a little old, but then again, so am I.)—BK
Jan 11, 2011
Hey, look! I found the one person who isn't screaming like crazy about the Gabrielle Giffords shooting in Arizona, but having a calm and rational response instead.—JS
There's no more embarrassing waste of your online time than reading tabloid celebrity sightings – unless they involve Bill Murray!!—JS
Jan 10, 2011
Does it make sense to start an NFL overtime with a surprise onside kick? The article waffles a bit on an answer, but it does present some compelling arguments in favor of the strategy.—BK

It was the best of fictitious times, it was the worst of fictitious times.
It's more about arcana and minutiae than boredom, but with that headline it's hard not to picture a gang of hipsters all feigning disinterest about who's going to be first in line to the Wes Anderson festival.—JS
Heh. Interesting. I don't know why the Brothers Heath would even bother, when the magnum opus of product naming has already been written.—JS
Jan 6, 2011
My man Bert Blyleven finally makes it in. It reflected pretty poorly on the Hall of Fame that he wasn't in before ("fifth most strikeouts ever" should have been the beginning and the end of the argument), but justice has been done.—JM
Jan 5, 2011
Some movie chains are offering upscale cuisine in the theater for a "premium" moviegoing experience, but you know people will find a way to ruin it. People are the worst.—BK
Jan 4, 2011
This is sort of a cross between Revelations and The Legend of Zelda.—TG
Jan 3, 2011
A talk with the brothers as part of Newsweek's interview issue. Contains a few mild spoilers for True Grit, which I saw over the holidays, and found to be excellent.—BK
