I know what you’re going to say, and I agree that we have all been inundated with holiday baking posts for long enough.  I wasn’t going to post up these squares, despite the fact…

Dear Mr. Berg, Mr. Mandel, and Mr. Schaffer:

It is with intense apprehension that we contact you again.

I guess it was inevitable: iTunes will soon start selling singles on a three-tiered system. Depending on their popularity, individual tracks, which currently all cost ninety-nine cents, will soon…

Puppet Chuck Bass is gunning for gold!

More finger-puppet recaps can be found here.

From our faithful cat-placement correspondent Nacho:
Nate went to his new family on Friday.  Like the ridiculously perfect kitty he is, he didn't even make a chirp during the car ride. …

The M. stands for movies!

What do I have that’s worth living for?

Creating this wasn’t probably the best way to spend 2 hours but who can say no when the siren song of a football in the groin comes calling?
This has been a Hans Olo Moleman production.

Okay, look. First of all, I love the movie. Love it. I’ve seen it enough that it’s basically comfort viewing for me. And I realize that it’s got some flaws, but I think it gets a bad rap.The…

Walking in Brooklyn today, I saw this bumper sticker…

… and I want to know: Who are the citizens against Don Henley? What the hell does this bumper sticker mean? I’ve found…

…but we know what she does for a living.

Chris Evans’s publicist, I don’t know how you can sleep at night:

I have no problem taking my shirt off for a role if the part calls for it, but my…

\We are back from our very short holiday hiatus with a new episode of “Trailers Without Pity.” Like I mentioned before, the show is going from a…

Today I celebrated the total and complete destruction of Live Journal with the purchase of a Snuggie.
Mood: Happy.

Hm, I wonder if Howard Kurtz and other scrappy pundits will haul various food experts on their shows to chew over just what Obama’s Check, Please! restaurant means to us as a nation and an American people. If so, it will be Alton Brown’s chance to finally become a pundit.

In the heaviest double feature since World Wars I and II, I saw both The Wrestler and The Reader on Sunday. Both films have stuck with me for various reasons, but it’s The Wrestler that I…

—The bubble in social networking has burst, decisively. LiveJournal, the San Francisco-based arm of Sup, a Russian Internet startup, has cut about 20 of 28 employees — and offered them no…

After spending half of my Friday listening to this Sigur Ros song, I ventured out to see Frost/Nixon, and lo and behold was this trailer, featuring that very same song. So clearly I ended up much…

Disclosure:
This beer immediately gets points for having a great big German name that sounds roughly like a combat vehicle.
I have an incredibly fun time with the German language, and its…

Just about everything.

And this:

I was only in Los Angeles for the night. I dropped my suitcase at home, drove to Hollywood and rocked it with my fake rock band until the wee hours. Dana…

Good writing; bad example of the genre.

Today’s NPR segment was about a subject dear to my media-blood-soaked heart, TV on the Web. Some weeks, I have no idea what I’m going to say about a specific…

"This Christmas" was a mildly interesting movie, but I would have rather watched the final dance scene for two hours instead. Come on! I could watch that forever! There may be something…

Dear Mr. Berg, Mr. Mandel, and Mr. Schaffer:
