Please No! – Nicolas Cage As Liberace

Author: ryanvis
Please, don’t let this be the opening salvo in a barrage of B-list actors trying to make it huge ala Brokeback Mountain.Liberace? Seriously? Of all the worthy people you could make a movie that about; they could have picked Matthew Shepard, Ian McKellen, or anyone who published a gay magazine prior to 1970 come to […]

5. Neil Young. Not for his latest album (which actually sounded good until he started singing), but because he’s Neil Bloody Young. Seriously, could anyone be more overrated? (save the flames; you’re not going to change my mind.) 4. Uber-Web-Design Guy. You know what, this site doesn’t validate. Neither does the web app I work […]

MITCH ALBOM: With on-field insults, it’s all in the head Mitch manages to string together a fairly coherent column today about the Zidane head-butt. We’ll give him a break over the lateness of the column because he’s a) an American sportswriter b) in Detroit and c) is Mitch Albom. But, he did catch the most […]

Check out that graph. There is no epidemic of youth violence in America. The whole concept is a lie… Kids are not killing each other more frequently than they used to. In fact, it turns out the opposite is true. (link) Where’s the Senate panel to look into the fleecing we’ve been taking for the […]
