Webster's Is the Best
February 19th, 2008


Really, if you’re not reading Webster’s Is My Bitch, then you’re only hurting yourself. Here’s a brilliantly funny post on Molly Ringwald:

Molly Ringwald turns 40 years old today, and if that makes you feel old, then you probably are, gramps. In her 40 years on Earth, however, Molly has much to be proud of: She was voted by VH1 the best teen star of all time, she’s been on the cover of Time, she’s had a great song written about her, she’s appeared nude in a film, she’s been in a critically adored television series, she’s dated Anthony Michael Hall, and, more importantly: She has a beautiful four year old daughter.

Your move, Jennifer Aniston.

Michael Bay, Celebrity Pitchman
February 17th, 2008


Galley Friend K.N. sends us a link to this new Verizon FIOS spot featuring . . . Michael Bay.

Sure, it’s self-parody, but it maybe kindof the self-parody where he’s making fun of himself–but not really? You be the judge. I’m not sure it reaches the mad genius of the Wes Anderson Am-Ex spot.

Dept. of Jealousy
February 14th, 2008


We all know that John Chait hates George W. Bush, but is it okay to hate Chait for having the best headline of 2008 (so far)?

PS: I’m not commenting on Chait’s piece itself because I can’t get to the actual text . . .

"It's Karate Kid, meets Ultimate Fighter!"
February 14th, 2008


Oh yes, it is. Here’s the write-up:

Set against the action-packed world of Mixed Martial Arts, NEVER BACK DOWN is the story of Jake Tyler, a tough kid who leads with his fists, and, often, with his heart.

Somewhere, a disgruntled Yale English major is taking his quiet revenge on his employers at Summit Entertainment. Sweep the leg!!!

Galley Friend M.L., who is only white on the outside, sends us to Stuff White People Like. It is, I’ll admit, pretty excellent. Consider:

#60 Toyota Prius and #59 Natural Medicine.

To which Galley Friend S.B. replies, “Go check out White Whines.” Here’s a sample:

Complaint #150

“The real problem with ‘A Mighty Wind’ is that Parker Posey is barely in the movie at all!”
