Salad with Thousand Island Dressing (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Can I ask a really dumb question? Well, I’m going to anyway… What ever happened to the classic “Mad Men salad”? Whenever you order a “side salad” these days (and almost always for an extra fee – back in the day, it CAME WITH THE MEAL), you usually get a large chilled bowl – usuall [...]

CRITICAL MOTION: It’s not magic, it’s idiocy – why the tracking pundits badly botched their calls this weekend

Jun01
2013 Written by popcornnroses

I have NEVER held much faith in box office trackers. The people who do it for a living will tell you that it’s the lifeblood of the industry, but it’s really as much of a crap shoot as your average political poll. It’s an inexact science, not the absolute that many claim it to be. Which is why when the major trackers release [...]

Memo to the broadcast networks: When it comes to Aereo, you’ve already LOST…

I’ve always had a severe case of schadenfreude when anyone makes the movie studios, the television networks, and the record companies squirm. The three primary entertainment industries are the three most corrupt in the entire world, making phantom legal claims and getting courts to go along with them because the courts don’t want to mess with [...]

RIP Roger Ebert 1942-2013

2013 Written by popcornnroses

Roger Ebert posted a column on his blog on Tuesday announcing a “leave of presence”. I will wonder forever if that was his way of saying goodbye to the millions of people who considered him a necessary presence in their lives. Ebert, who for 46 years was a film critic and occasional essayist for the Chicago Sun-Times, and who brou [...]
