What if your favorite television/movie character were to attend the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? Where would the Sorting Hat assign them? I remember taking a Sorting Hat quiz aeons ago and finding out that I would be sorted into Ravenclaw. As much as the books make Gryffindor to be the house to be in, […]
Darth Vader vs. Lord Voldemort
For the record, I think that Vader kicks Voldemort’s butt any day. Via Geekologie. P.S. — Have you watched HP7 Part 1 yet? J and I managed to sneak away for a few hours last night to catch it and…well, it’s like what I’ve always said about the Harry Potter movies: each consecutive movie is […]
Fantastically Dark Trailer for “Jane Eyre”
Jane Eyre is one of my all-time favorite books, so I was thrilled to see this trailer for the newest movie adaptation. Directed by Cary Fukunaga, the film seems to have a dark, stylish feel that brings a modern twist to a story that is set in the 1800s. I love the fact that it treads […]
Guest Post: Top 20 Most Awesome/Least Awesome TV Characters
This post comes courtesy of my dear internet buddy, Girl on the Park. It is one that hits home for TV junkies like myself, and I spent quite some time reading and re-reading it, nodding in agreement while chuckling and marveling over the remarkable writing style dripping in sarcasm. It also brought me down memory […]
50 Movies for 50 States
Redditor subtonix made a map of what movies best represent each of the 50 states. Personally, I would have gone with Sleepless in Seattle for Washington, and Grumpy Old Men for Minnesota, but I agree with most of the choices. I especially love Clerks for New Jersey, and Red Dawn for Colorado (Wolverines!). Do you think your state was […]
Man Men Mr. Men
Are you familiar with the popular children’s book series “Mr. Men”? Well, the clever folks at thepoke.co.uk has mashed it up the AMC hit series Mad Men for some amusing results… They’ve even created a complete story called “Mr. Sterling Gets Angry” — Via The New York Times.

Guest Post: The Dangers of Singling out the Senses
Today we have another fantastic post by Nick. Here he talks about a topic I briefly spoke of in the past: new technology at the movies. While I am a self-proclaimed geek, I remain a traditionalist when it comes to certain topics (ie, opting for books over e-readers) and the moviegoing experience is one that […]
Guest Post: Comic-Con — The Real Deal
New York may have its own Comic-Con (which unfortunately coincided with a new baby this year), but nothing can compare to the original and the best: San Diego Comic-Con. J and I always said that we will make a trip out to the West Coast one year to partake in its magnificence, but now that we […]
Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce Floorplan
What did everyone think of last night’s season finale of Mad Men? I managed to catch it — little by little between the 2:34am diaper change and and the 4:56am feeding last night — and I ended up becoming incredibly frustrated due to the fact that I watched it alone. Well, not completely alone but […]
True Mud
True Blood + Sesame Street. Love it! (And didn’t Sesame Street do a GREAT job parodying the popular HBO show?) You may also like: The Secret Lives of Superhero Toys If Disney Princesses Had Instagram Marvelous Street Fighter + Minions Mashup Grumpy Cat Meets Disney
