If you watch the Best Movie Ever this holiday season and are left with a twinge of regret that mean old Mr. Potter never got what was coming to him, Saturday Night Live had the answer twenty years ago, and Hulu has it now:
Are there It's A Wonderful Life geeks? Because if so, I am one. There's just one problem: "Clarence at the bank said..." Clarence doesn't work at the bank, Clarence is the angel who got his wings because of George. Silly SNL. (Via Claire Zulkey.)
We don't really cover Grey's Anatomy here, so we totally ignored the still-growing brouhaha over Brooke Smith, who played hard-nosed Dr. Erica Hahn until she was abruptly fired without a real explanation from the show. Lots of people think it's because ABC suits were uncomfortable with her lesbian relationship with Callie (known to now-outraged fans as "Callica.") Whatever the reasons, it was an odd decision to do it so abruptly. ANYWAY, this weekend I watched Dr. Hahn's final show and final scene, and found it to be really lazy and anticlimactic. This is a ridiculous soap opera! A main character's departure should be more dramatic! So, using my rapier-like video editing skills, I recut the final scene according to what I think the viewers wanted to see: more melodrama! More belabored metaphor!:

As a rule, a children's movie cannot be the Worst Movie of All Time. Make no mistake, children's movies are categorically horrible, with very few exceptions, and those exceptions tend to be children's movies that are mostly for adults, i.e....
Blogging about TV and movies isn't all fun and videogames. Every week, Lindsay or Gabe will be presented with a physical or mental challenge that tests their bravery, patience, and taste.
The Challenge: Despite being averse to cameras, teamwork, exotic foods, travel, haircuts, and physical exertion, I have to submit an audition tape to Survivor. The Result: As with the Saw marathon challenge, once again I find myself rocking back and...
Even though Lindsay and Gabe are friends, they very rarely agree on anything. Every day, they have a fight about something. On Fridays, we publish one.
Lindsay: the Golden Globes are even stupider and wronger than usual this year! Lindsay: Particularly in the comedy movie category Lindsay: and also the nomination for Entourage Lindsay: What does Entourage have to do to NOT get nominated? Gabe: impossible...
Verne Troyer put down his glass of egg nog and looked out the window at the falling snow. The fuzzy strains of Bing Crosby Christmas played softly in the background, as Verne Troyer's own sex tape flickered in mute on...
