War: It’s such a filthy pastime. Especially when you’re a wealthy aristocrat living in the wake of the Titanic and right smack in the middle of the first “Great War.” Mo’ money, mo’ problems, am I right?

We reviewed our list from last year, and checked it twice. This year we thought we’d trim the fat off of the ham that is this list of movies and stick to the classics. We think these Christmas favorites will be more than enough to keep you occupied this holiday season, so keep that fireplace roaring, grab the closest blanket, and cozy up to your laptop, because you’re about to embark on a classic Christmas marathon Read More New Year’s Eve Probably Sucks, But This Is Why People Will See It Anyway Follow on Twitter December 9, 2011 at 1:11 pm Every so often, a film comes along with so much starpower, you’d swear it was an Oscars after party. This year’s such venture is New Year’s Eve, starring the likes of Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Bon Jovi, Abigail Breslin, Ludacris, De Niro, Josh Duhamel, Zac Efron, Katherine Heigl, Ashton Kutcher, Seth Myers, Sarah Jessica Parker, Michelle Pfeiffer, Hilary Swank and Sofia Vergara. Speaking of ludacris, all of these names don’t even fit on a billboard. Does anyone know what the film is even about? Does it even matter? It’s a bunch of celebs on New Year’s Eve. It’s no secret that moviegoers have a tendency of going to see films not just because of the story, but because they like any given cast member involved.

This tends to happen when users classify a video as shocking, hateful, or ignorant, and that’s exactly what’s happening to Perry’s 30-second dissertation. It’s not the first time a politician has shocked the masses with his or her message, and it won’t be the last. But in light of the fact that Perry’s video is ruffling so many feathers, we thought it would be interesting to feature a few other political campaign videos that have garnered similar responses in the past. Some are strange, some are outrageous, and some are downright unbelievable. See for yourself: Husbands Unique Take on Gay Marriage Will Make or Break the Series Follow on Twitter November 15, 2011 at 10:18 am It’s easy to forget about Web TV in the fall, what with network TV distracting us by dishing out all of its new shows, but the Web is still kickin’, so consider this your wake up call: don’t forget to keep checking the internet for new Web series! One such offering, the new comedy web series Husbands, launched its first episode in September and already has 10 episodes under its belt. The pilot has some distinct weaknesses, but the show’s premise, along with the consistent improvement in its succeeding episodes makes it a Web series worth bookmarking. |
