Before anything even happens on this episode, there was this sequence where each contestant draws their All-Star and each All-Star then tells them the style they’ll be dancing, and everybody pretends to be surprised when everybody except Kathryn (who can of course dance anything) explains they’ll be dancing, amazingly, in the preferred style of that […]

Something something oh no it’s a tornado what will we do oh no etc. Seriously, do we even have to bother pointing out that the tornado is no match for the likes of Rex the motherfucking Wonder Dog? It seems almost counterproductive to say it these days.

My weekly TV column is up at Torontoist. Also: after today, I don’t think Spain has nearly as good a chance to advance to the group rounds as some people do, even though they did beat Honduras today. Chile was always going to be their toughest match in this group, and if you assume that […]

Strictly B+ Pixar, with some moments that feel perhaps more repetitive than thematic – but nonetheless extremely funny and touching, and B+ Pixar, while not A-level Pixar, is still better than 95 percent of everything out there.

For those who never saw the first page: basically Sally Floyd says that Captain America is […]

Your hosts are Nigel, Mia Michaels and Adam. No Mary Murphy! Now if they can get rid of Nigel Billy and All-Star Lauren: Broadway. Kicking off the season with Tasty Oreo Broadway is always a touch worrisome. Billy hits his moves well enough (and has an Early DiCaprio sorta-goatee), but they are big and slow […]

FLAPJACKS: Why are you watching Wheel of Fortune? This show sucks. ME: I’m killing time in between games. It’s on the CBC for some reason. I don’t want to get up and change channels. I’ve got a laptop here, why do I need to get up and change channels? FLAPJACKS: I mean, look at this […]

John Seavey’s first attempt to try and instill a true nerd/geek/whatever film canon was a good idea, but suffered from obvious operational flaws: namely, the ability of people to add and veto in unlimited amounts. The first is problematic because it means people will add things of which they have fond memories but which aren’t […]

So this year’s top 10-instead-of-a-top-20 So You Think You Can Dance turned out to eventually be a top 11, because they just couldn’t cut down from five classically trained male dancers to four. This makes eight of 11 dancers (more than 70 percent!) from the various classical training disciplines (ballet, jazz and contemporary), plus your […]
