  • Afternoon Links: Louis C.K. Does the Classics, a Million-Second Quiz, and Another Kickstarter Movie

    Here’s a very close approximation of Louis C.K. as he takes on the classics. With a lot of profanity. [h/t Warming Glow]

  • Afternoon Links: Surprise! There Were a Few Idiots at Coachella This Weekend

    Jimmy Kimmel tricked Coachella-goers into giving their opinions on bands so indie they aren’t even real. But who doesn’t admire the “whole style, the whole genre” of the Obesity Epidemic? Special props to the Canadian DJ who used to spin Two Door Cinema Club’s album DJ Cornmeal “all the time.”

    The 10 Summer Horror Films on Our Radar

    I have barely recovered from watching Hemlock Grove, so when I started compiling this list of 10 horror movies I’m interested in seeing this summer I felt kind of like I was trying to cure a hangover with a gin and tonic. I’ve included a couple of picks that look like they might be enjoyably […]

  • Afternoon Links: An Intimate Chat With the Newly Reincarnated Snoop Lion

    Music Monday: Pitch-shifting “Get Lucky” converts it into a Michael Jackson–esque jam; a terrible inauguration song in honor of the Netherlands’ new king gets pulled for crap lyrics (“I will fight like a lion, nothing will stop me / from keeping you safe as long as I live / The W of William, three fingers […]

  • Hemlock Grove

    Wolfing Down Eli Roth’s Hemlock Grove in a Single Weekend

    Before settling in for a weekend spent watching Hemlock Grove, I read the New York Times’s lukewarm review, which called it “a hybrid of Twin Peaks … and CW teenage gothic” before going on to refer to its pace as pokey. This did not bode well, and I wandered into the Grove with adjusted expectations. […]

  • Afternoon Links: Newscasters Ridicule Well-Meaning But Inarticulate Sex Idiot

    Two Fox news anchors tried to interview Ryan Lochte. After he haltingly explained the layout of his bathroom and the anchors bid his beautiful face adieu, they busted a gut for a minute and a half, during which time my girl in red started crying with laughter and almost lost an eyelash. Totally recruiting her […]

  • Afternoon Links: Sorority Party Massacre

    It’s impossible to select the best excerpts from the batshit-crazy e-mail of mass destruction sent by a member of the University of Maryland’s Delta Gamma chapter to the rest of its members. “C—- punt” is a good place to start, but there’s so much more. Delta Gamma’s president asked for “assistance” from Gawker in removing […]

  • Girls in Hoodies Podcast: Daft Punk, Pain & Gain, and Summer Movies

    With Emily still recovering from Coachella, and Molly still recovering from Anthony Mackie in a Dan Marino jersey, the Girls decided to ditch the map this week and free-form jazz their way through their discussion of an eventful pop cultural week. (So eventful, in fact, that we didn’t even get around to talking about Amanda […]

    Survivor: Caramoan, Episode 10: ‘Wow’

    Yesterday afternoon, John Cochran tweeted that “as a Survivor expert, I feel comfortable saying that tonight’s episode is going to be one of the most insane in the history of the show.” Cochran won the Harvard Dean’s Scholar prize for comparing the judicial system to Survivor’s tribal jury, so it’s not surprising that he was […]

  • Afternoon Links: You Got Served by Quvenzhane Wallis

    I realize that Quvenzhane Wallis is probably pretty busy, but this video just proves that MTV needs to be filling its empty programming slots with The Quvenzhane Dance-Off. You think it’s easy to bust a move in a knee-length skirt? It’s not. I would also accept Teen Mom Competitive Waltzing, 16 and Dougieing, and The Challenge: […]
