Marathon Gets Rid Of Vegetable-Like Fruits, Customers.

(03/25/09 2:13pm)

In an apparent effort to cut costs, Marathon has barred the avocado a place on its new, souped-down menu. If you, like me, cannot order a salad or turkey burger without one, I urge you to BYOA. If management is receptive, let us know. If they're appalled, also let us know.  In fact, I'll go even further and call for a trade: bring back the palta and throw out the cilantro. The more avocados we bring, the more of a chance they'll be back on the menu. Viva la revolucion.

Just When You Thought Edward Cullen Couldn't Look Creepier

(12/12/08 8:15pm)

We all love Robert Pattinson, even if he hasn't gotten the hang of the whole speaking-in-full-sentences thing yet (give him time! English is a difficult language for someone from Eng--er, never mind). And while his blazing topaz eyes and creamy pallor have been featured in many of our nocturnal delights, we can't deny that Team Edward's just a little... scary-looking. Sort of like a photoshopped Ted Bundy. Regardless, companies are milking Twilight for all it's worth ($150 million so far) and releasing a line of, yes, you guessed it--Twilight dolls! These babies won't be released until next spring, but can't you picture it? You and your seven-year-old cousin can re-enact Barbie and Ken Go on a Date all over again!



He's A Slumdog Gazillionaire As Far As We're Concerned: An Interview With Danny Boyle

(12/12/08 4:20pm)

We like when movies prove to be self-fulfilling prophecies. But we like it even more when Little Engines That Could sweep aside the usual Hollywood trash and take center stage. Slumdog Millionaire, the latest film from director Danny Boyle (you know, of Trainspotting fame), garnered four Golden Globes nominations this week, including including top drama, director and screenplay. Pretty impressive for a movie that wasn't even going to hit theatres after its distributor, Warner Independent Pictures, was shut down. Street Film writer Lauren Kemp sat down with Boyle to talk film adaptation, lighting woes and the Hindi-English divide.


In Desperate Times, Media Discards Journalists, Factchecking

(11/13/08 9:51pm)

Just when we thought we would have to drown our sorrows in a White Russian with the departure of America's favorite hockey mom, the liberal media elite seized on Sarah Palin's latest gaffe: confusing Africa the country with Africa the continent (hint: it's the second one). But which of the disgruntled McCain staffers leaked the damaging amusing-without-fear-of-being-one-heartbeat-away story?
