So apparantly, some people out there are taking the death of "Golden Girl" Estelle Getty rather hard:
I can't even imagine what sorts of videos we see when Betty White dies.

It's not often I leave the theater after watching an action movie and launch into philosphical discussions with my fellow moviegoer about morality.
But then, "The Dark Knight" just isn't your typical action movie.
I agree with everything that Erin said in her post about the movie: Christian Bale is spot-on as Bruce Wayne, Heath Ledger deserves an Oscar for his sinister portrayal of the Joker, and the supporting cast was excellent.
And yea, the action sequences were awesome. Batman flying into a Hong Kong high rise and kidnap (or extradite ... you decide) a criminal, then float into a moving plane was one of the coolest stunts I've seen in any of the "Batman" movies.
But what makes the movie transcend your typical Comic-based blockbuster are The Joker's persistant attempts to make Gotham turn to its baser instincts.

1. Let's just talk about Blayne for a second. Anybody else find his tanning obsession just a little creepy? And enough of the Girl-licious. What does that even mean? I wasn't a huge Christian fan, but at least he sold us fierceness without making it seem like a cheap marketing ploy ... OK maybe it was a little cheap. I'm not alone on this either.

The groups sing-along inducing pop totally kicked me out of my post-cleaning-in-5-billion-degree-heat stupor, and made me forget my achin' feet (Note, no matter how cute your shoes are, if the plan is to stand for three hours, heels are a bad choice).

OK, so I know I'm a almost year late, but various things: Giant piles of paper around my desk, obsessively checking www.stuffwhitepeoplelike.com and planning a wedding have prevented me from writing about Rilo Kiley's 2007 release "Under the Blacklight."
Specifically, extolling "Breakin' Up," Jenny Lewis' kiss off to, I suspect, Mr. Bad News of "Portions For Foxes" Fame.

Instead of going with the standard "watch beautiful, talented woman with blinding teeth strut around a stage in bikinis and evening gowns" route, NBC took a slight detour, deciding instead to celebrate pageant mishaps.
It's as if the ad execs were all sitting around a table going, "Let's be honest, nobody cares about world peace, they want more Miss South Carolina and chicks falling on their face."
And I'm not going to lie, I am a bit tempted to subject myself to two hours for sequins and petroleum jelly for the chance to see Miss Alabama take a dive on national television. But then again, I can probably save myself the anguish and just catch the juicy parts on YouTube.
Am I the only one who goesreaching for the box of tissues everytime this commercial comes on?
(Warning: Now would be the appropriate time to reach for tissues)
Well, good news about Echo.

Apparantly the people at CNN have decided to use the "Daily Show" as it's model for quality news presentation.
That's right, the "real news" (a term applied loosely to CNN) is ripping off the fake news in order to appeal to viewers.
I know, my head hurts, too.
That is the only possible explination as to why the people at the "Morning Express" took this picture of Roger Clemens speaking under oath to Congress and doctored it to make it look like
he was giving a Vulcan greeting ala "Star Trek."
I'm not proud of it, but I've started watching a lot more Vh1 (blame it on the writer's strike). I've been sucked into the world of celebreality with shows like "Celebrity Rehab," which chronicles a bunch of B-list celebrities recovering from various drug and alcohol addictions under the careful watch of Dr. Drew Pinsky (of syndicated radio show "Love Line").
Maybe it's that I've watched some of my own family deal with these demons before, but the show is surprisingly poignant.
What I'm more ashamed of is my recent obsession with "Rock of Love II" (9 p.m. Sundays) where Poison singer Bret Michaels must, once again, find a large-chested groupie Barbie to rock his world.
