Pop what? POP WHAT?

Here’s a sentence I never thought I’d say: How much do I love Pierce Hawthorne? We both enjoy bottles of wine in our bathing suits and snazzy vests. But that's not the only reason I'm expressing my sudden adoration for the erstwhile villain of season 2.

Let me back up to the beginning of Community’s season finale, the end of the paintball standoff. When last the credits rolled, we learned that the Black Rider was a ringer hired by a certain Western themed ice creamery to win the paintball war and the absurdly large prize. This episode opened with the reveal that City College also has an effeminately voiced dean who enjoys wearing female costumes, but – more importantly – has been behind the contest the entire time. The whole thing was a ruse to get the all too eager students of his rival college to destroy their own school.

This Isn't a Game

Joel McHale might not have given any Twitter love to my Annie Edison Halloween costume, but I'm still a die hard Community fan. As others who claim that title can attest, the show gets very little love from the big media outlets, and this won't do much to change that. If you never miss an episode of Troy and Abed in the morning or you've never visited a little Colorado community college, read on for a recap of one of the finest modern paintball games since Spaced.

Maybe He'll Just Come Back

Today is a sad day for comedy lovers throughout the world - the great Leslie Nielsen is now the late, great Leslie Nielsen. Sure, in his later career he was known as the president in the third and fourth installment in the execrable Scary Movie franchise, but before that, he was Frank Drebin, Dr. Rumack, The Captain of the original Poseidon Adventure, a guest star on the Golden Girls, and Dracula.

It's a satchel! Indiana Jones has one

Guys, I want a castle. And a pet chameleon.

If you’re going to see Tangled in theaters – and you should – go to a night showing to avoid at least a majority of the little children in pajamas (jealoussss). Unless, that is, you enjoy hearing ‘what’s happening to her?’ ‘what’s happening to her?’ ‘what’s happening to her?’ and ‘Mommy, when popcorn falls on the floor, can I eat it?’ True story.

But even with precocious rugrats and their adorable antics, the movie is totally worth a viewing. Good enough that I sincerely hope that this particular article is a case of inaccurate reporting. Luckily this quote from the Chief of Pixar and supervisor of Disney Animation, should help debunk some of that panic (simmer down, Kelsey, it’ll be all right).

Deathly Hallows Part 1

Last time a Harry Potter movie premiered, I bragged that I waltzed into a matinee showing on the day it opened without waiting in line. Well, this time I sucked it up and spent a good portion of my day hanging out on the street with a group of friends.

One of the things I’ve enjoyed the most about the Harry Potter experience is the incredible reactions it engenders in its fans. Everyone has a different draw or reaction to the story but it tends to grip fans tightly – maybe a little too tightly, if the girl in the homemade Weasley sweater and equally dubious accent on line with us was any indication.

Since the books were first released in 1997, I’ve read all seven at least once. I worked the release party for the 7th book at the Borders down the street from our camp chairs. I read the 5th book on the train from London to Cornwall and had to have my friends at our all-girl’s school in Plymouth explain ‘taking the mickey’ to me because I was shocked that Harry Potter would reference drugs. I’ve seen most of the movies in the theater but never gone the whole nine yards and waited in line for seven hours.

Nolan's Dream Team (terrible, I know)

If there’s a ridiculous looking movie coming out – one that I have no intention of seeing but am slightly intrigued by – I will spoil the shit out of it. I will put in time and effort to find out what the eff is going on even if – especially if – I have no plans to plunk down ten fifty to watch it. I know all about the plot of Splice (shudder) but I didn’t step foot in or near that theater.

If it’s a movie that I have the slightest interest in, however, I won’t go near the spoilers. I managed to walk into the theater for Inception without knowing any more than what was in the trailer. I frantically avoided articles, reviews, spoilers, you name it. Since I worked so diligently to keep myself unspoiled for the movie, I’m going to go ahead and warn you now – if you don’t want to know what goes on in Inception, don’t read on.

Connect 4 Million

I'm not going to lie, I completely thought this was a joke. The fact that its real makes it even better.




Way to look on the bright side, pseudo-deity and pissed-off smoke monster.
