Girly Throw Downs MTV vs. Colbert Nation If you’re a big media outlet whose sole job is to look cool and hip then you really shouldn’t tangle with a top-notch, widely popular comedian with a big-ass network microphone.

Benedict Cumberbatch Sherlock’s return It’s about three months until Sherlock returns on the BBC and/or we all pirate it—no use pretending any of us are actually going to wait till it airs on PBS in twenty-motherf*cking-fourteen—and we have our first teaser. It’s a totally uninformative glimpse By Sarah • Aug 05, 2013 10:35 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Evans is going to direct I know right? That was my reaction, too.

It’s about a couple that meets in By Sarah • Aug 02, 2013 10:19 am
The Bridge The Bridge 1.4: “I’ll take that with me forever” The Bridge Season 1, Episode 4 recap So last episode Marco and Rich Widow started having an affair out of nowhere and we learned a little about Creepy Steven, enough to make me wonder if he isn’t Serial Killer Doug.

Movie Reviews and Previews Snowpiercer is not what you expect When I wrote about the first Snowpiercer trailer (there is now a second one that is only slightly more illuminating), I mentioned that The Weinstein Company bought it, and that if it caught Harvey Weinstein’s eye, it had to be more than just the action movie the trailer was By Sarah • Jul 30, 2013 12:44 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Samurai Neo Keanu Reeves’ long-awaited samurai epic 47 Ronin finally has a trailer and it’s AWFUL. It’s an awful trailer for an awful looking movie.
