You had a good run, Greendale. After five seasons of meta-obsession and homages to genres popular and obscure, the Dan Harmon creation that was Community is no more on NBC. After a fifth season that was truly a return to form (following that dreadful — yeah, we said it — season four without its visionary… Read more
When the names Kim Kardashian and Kanye West come to mind, subtlety is not the first thing that comes to mind. But the duo known as Kimye have managed to muster up just that for their impending nuptials and the requisite invitation, thanks to a sneaky guest and US Weekly. I mean, what is this?… Read more
After his Miami Heat took an L to the New York Knicks yesterday, LeBron James sat down for the requisite post-game press conference rocking a pair of Air Yeezy 2s . The Black and Solar Red colorway makes it hard to see much detail but the glow in the dark sole is a giveaway… Continue
In the new trailer for Detachment — the latest entry in the teachers-are-big-ole-saints genre of filmmaking, Adrien Brody plays a teacher who has not spent all his life living in a gangsta’s paradise. That’s where the conflict is. He wants to help his group of troubled students, but he can barely get them to sit down, let alone listen up. The execution looks charming enough, and the movie fared well at Tribeca, so let’s indulge director (and showman ) Tony Kaye’s vision and dig this new group of Freedom Writers. All the requisite tropes are in place: martyr classroom demeanor, a couple of emotional conniptions, students who don’t care about their grades, personal attacks waged against the teacher, and best of all, the possibility of a weird romance between instructor and student. Sandy Dennis mastered this in Up the Down Staircase , y’all. And Adrien Brody emitted more personality with his cameo as Salvador Dali in Midnight in Paris than he does in this entire movie, but I can’t deny the crowd-pleasing (and pretty crazy) nature of this story. Let’s watch The Pianist get pissed. Verdict : Ehhh, what the hell, enroll me.
The nominations are out for the 69th Golden Globe Awards, and they favored pretty much everyone front-and-center in the awards race to date, with the requisite snubs, surprises and other laughable curios (they had to wedge War Horse in there somewhere , right?) with which Ricky Gervais will no doubt have a fine time on Jan. 15.
So you’ve met Mr. Right. (Or Mr. Right Now.) You’re a good girl, so you’ve waited the requisite amount of time and you just know that tonight is the night you’ve been dreaming of all year/month/week/minute. You look good, you smell good and you’re wearing the only matching lingerie set you own. All signs point to go. You’d think with this many green lights that there’s no way a lady could mess this up. Maybe you’d think that, but you’d be wrong. Here are just a few of the ways this could go south in a hurry: 1. Don’t depend on him for birth control. Yes, he should carry condoms, but ultimately it’s up to you — it’s your body and you need to keep yourself safe. I’m not saying that’s the way it should be, but the sad fact is, even the nicest seeming guy isn’t always as invested in keeping us disease and pregnancy-free. Even if you’re the kind of traditional lady who insists your date pay for everything (after all, you’re giving him the gift of your company), do not let stubbornness get in the way of your safe good time. And nothing ruins a good time like a below-the-belt itch or unplanned pregnancy. 2. For Pete’s sake, don’t cry. Some of us have a weird habit of occasionally bursting into tears during sex — it’s the rush of endorphins that does it, so blame biology! But, if there’s any way to pull yourself together the first time you make sweet love to your new boyfriend, try to. Waterworks will lead him to believe that either he hurt you–and in that case, will never again do that thing again — or he’ll think that you’re a mental case. Either way, you probably won’t be seeing him again anytime soon. 3. Leave the comparison talk at home. You know how almost every woman you know thinks she’s fat? Yeah, well most guys think they’re, ahem, less endowed than they actually are. Imagine if you thought a size zero was the way you thought you should look just because the model in Vogue was. Sigh.

With all due respect to that Nassim Taleb dude who popularized the term “Black Swasn”, Black Swan events are both overrated and the term is sloppily bandied about by those who may not be putting the requisite thought into just how utilitarian the knowledge of Black Swans actually are. Since you can’t accurately predict, nor back test against, nor adequately hedge against such events, exactly what… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : zero hedge Discovery Date : 24/03/2011 18:39 Number of articles : 2

Trick question! They’re all Oscar clips — one big epic montage of Berry getting her split-personality freak on with this accent and that wig, this meltdown and that comedown, this transgression and that redemption… Take your pick. All that’s missing is Kirk Lazarus supplying the requisite ham in the Stellan Skarsgård role, and we’re in real awards-season business.
