Let’s grab lunch. You can tell me what the kids are listening to nowadays, and I will be a sage advisor on tween/teen romance. Then there will be a montage where we feed ducks in the park, buy street food, use a photobooth, window shop with enthusiasm, and get some gelato.
I mean, what the hell. I’m...

Mass Effect 3
Loved it, loved the ending.
It’s kind of sad because you guys know how much I love to get angry and indignant. The rage sweat I work up clears out my pores. But someone did call me a moron for liking the ending, so maybe there’s something there for me to get worked up about. Fingers crossed!

Not to count my chickens before they hatch,
But even though I haven’t seen the ending yet, I’m kind of bummed that Bioware is potentially making changes to the ending of Mass Effect 3. I might feel totally different by time I get to the end, of course.
I kind of prefer a shitty ending that I didn’t like to some reworked thing powered by fan feelings. I like it when somebody (or somebodies) sticks to their vision, even if...

Seriously, don't go to the movies if:
You have some sort of disorder that causes you to breathe loudly through your mouth rather than quietly through your mouth, like an advanced case of Total Asshole Syndrome.
The idea of not talking for one and a half to three hours is your own personal Mount Everest.
You find the idea of sitting in a squeaking theater chair to be an exciting opportunity for you to indulge in your love of...

The Hunger Games
Some things:
Thought I would hate Gale and Peeta, loved them both.
Stanley Tuuci basically played a sci-fi Oprah, which was uh-may-zing.
OH RUE.
Trixie from Deadwood was Mrs. Everdeen!
Woody Harrelson was as good in the role as his wig was bad on his head, which is to say very.
Probably 70% of our theater was dudes between the ages of seventeen and twenty-two. What? I was expecting more of a...

Sex, gender, and choices in the Mass Effect...
The following post contains major spoilers for Mass Effect 1 and 2. It contains no spoilers for Mass Effect 3 other than to list what the possible romance options are (not squad options, romance options). I couldn’t spoil Mass Effect 3 for you because I haven’t fully finished it yet.
The first Mass Effect romance options went like this:
Ashley (female human, for BroShep)
Kaidan...

Here is a gun, Carl. Your repeated defiance and...
I’m in the minority, apparently, but I would choke out Carl Grimes. Joffrey is a shit, obviously, but as a character on a television show, I would rather have him inflicted on me every week rather than Carl because at least Joffrey will keep shaking things up. Carl has the personality of a dishrag and even the terrible stuff he does is on accident.
Carl, don’t wander off. Don’t...

Mass Effect
I finished Mass Effect 2, which I had been putting off starting because I didn’t want to wait between Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3. I’m going to start 3 tonight, so I won’t be bathing, eating, or sleeping for another week.
I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ALREADY.
I’ve also cut off nearly all contact to the outside world so I won’t be spoiled. Read nothing,...

Super Tuesday Surprise: 40 Celebs Who May Be... →
Nick Lachey? Sarah Michelle Gellar? Tom Selleck? Mel Gibson? NO WAY I AM GOBSMACKED.
I think they are playing fast and loose with the word “surprise.” Alternate title: “Rich, Mostly White, and Loving It: Of Course These Forty D-Bags Are Republicans”
