Girl, Interrupted.

I am not sure why, but this clip made me tear up a little. Brittany Murphy was one of my favorite actresses back in the day. I feel like her acting career went in a direction similar to the impulse that comes with trying to knock over a bowling pin at the end of the alley before the gate falls. With your head. That could probably kill you.

That's a complex metaphor, but somehow makes sense to me.

Move Over Jar Jar Binks!

Is this film ridiculous because it's the most expensive film ever made? Or maybe because these characters don't look like from they're another planet, and are in fact Tiger-Smurfs on steriods? Or, is Avatar an amazing endeavor stemming from pure self-idolatry?

Stop Killing Flipper, You Bastards

The Cove is out on DVD and a great example of against-all-odds documentary filmmaking. I bet Ken Burns never risked imprisonment by the Japanese government for hiding cameras in rocks.

As a follow-up response, the animated series "South Park" also addresses the issue of dolphin slaughter during the episode,"Whale Whores". This episode was almost better than the film for criticizing inevitable hypocrisy in conveying the Japanese fishermen as cold-hearted killers in The Cove.

What's worse: A threatened livelihood and way of life for the fisherman, or senseless meat market? Ehh, probably a combination of both:

Elephant on the Golf Course

What's all the fuss over that SNL skit, anyway? Sounds like a convenient way to shift blame
for shame-mongering, if you ask me.

I'm talking to you, CNN. This news brief after Wood's recent car accident by the Goliath broadcaster seems like it's missing some pertinent logic and inclusive of just the right hook to get the tabloid hounds salivating.

According to the news brief, Wood's wife smashed in the golf star's rear car window so she could help him get out after he ran into a fire hydrant and a tree in succession. Questionable, yes? Was that a proven fact at the time the brief was published? Uh uh.

There are many a broadcast news writer that will tell you there was enough reported to presume as news.
But Tiger Woods is not a candidate for office, he is a sports celebrity whose character was questioned. Maybe he just didn't deserve all of those celebrity endorsements, I suppose.

But assuming the right to judge before proven guilty is a little more offensive in my book than the star of "Gossip Girl" pretending like she's a deranged Swede.
