Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing has a trailer and it looks, well, kind of awesome. Maybe the best weekend film project ever made?

Now, if only some people could get over their hangups about modern-setting Shakespeare. Ahem.

Is this the part where I say something classy like, “Suck it, Last”?

PS…really rich coming from the guy rolling his eyes at our cardinal for proclaiming the need for the Church to get with it, people, and start facebooking and tweeting the Catechism. 😉 Remember, according to him: “We deal with so many young people today who are so busy, frenetically busy, that they don’t have the time to reflect on the rest of their existence, the spiritual part of their existence.”

140 characters (or less) will obviously solve the issue of deep reflection. Anyway, you, Baz Luhrmann and I shall never see eye to eye to eye on R + J — I don’t care how cute Claire Danes is!

"It's long and it doesn't have Spider-Man in it anywhere." — Cody Last

From the all-star cast who brought you The Seven Deadly Virtues comes a book with a look at the good life… or the crazy-stressful-overwhelmed life… of a father. As anyone who has spent time with a child knows, fatherhood is a mixed bag of fun, fury, and failure. So much is lost—no more catnaps during football commercials, no more exotic vacations or impromptu day trips. And yet, as authors like P. J.…

"The best argument for chastity since Bea Arthur." — Andrew Ferguson

An all-star team of eighteen conservative writers offers a hilarious, insightful, sanctimony-free remix of William Bennett’s The Book of Virtues—without parental controls. The Seven Deadly Virtues sits down next to readers at the bar, buys them a drink, and an hour or three later, ushers them into the revival tent without them even realizing it. The book’s contributors include Sonny Bunch, Christopher Buckley, David “Iowahawk” Burge, Christopher Caldwell, Andrew Ferguson, Jonah Goldberg, Michael…

""A powerful argument that the only thing worse than having children is not having them."" — P. J. O'Rourke

For years, we have been warned about the looming danger of overpopulation: people jostling for space on a planet that’s busting at the seams and running out of oil and food and land and everything else. It’s all bunk. The “population bomb” never exploded. Instead, statistics from around the world make clear that since the 1970s, we’ve been facing exactly the opposite problem: people are having too few babies. Population…
