This is actually the way my brain works, I sweartogod. So I did a little baking this morning, and at one point I espied the carton of eggs still sitting on the counter, and thought to myself, “You need to put those away before they get the salmonelli.” Yes, I pronounced it “salmonelli” in my [...]

From geeking ally, The Top 10 Most Underrated Movie Villains — I have not seen 2 out of the 10, but the other 8 are hard to argue with. And from Virgin Media, Mad Moments of Movie Censorship — to be fair, it’s really more mad moments in movie marketing censorship, but it does tend [...]

via Roger Ebert, comes a post from Q. Le on the mostly-white casting of the upcoming live-action “The Last Airbender.” Facepainting I’m not saying Le’s ire isn’t justified in this, just somewhat misdirected.
