Street Fighter players, help me out here. Is there a name for when you hadouken, then jump across the screen and land in front of your own stupid fireball to get knocked out and lose the match? I need to know, because it’s what Emmy Rossum seems to be doing to her career by signing … Continue reading →
It finally got cold in Atlanta today and decided to rain with some gusto as well — pretty fantastic when your state has been on the verge of running out of water for several months. But because I had stuff to do I couldn’t use the cold, wet afternoon to it’s fullest, which means I’m … Continue reading →
I was hanging out on Wednesday night with some friends and I was making plans for next weekend without realizing it was Christmas weekend. I went to a birthday party a couple days back and realized I hadn’t seen that person in a year. Instead of blaming this on getting old, I think I’ve fallen … Continue reading →

He could be a sensationally talented young man, a modestly talented middle-aged man, or a sensationally untalented octogenarian who arrived late to the directing game. I don’t care. Even if it’s the former, I fail to see the point in making another … Continue reading →
Looks like we have an explanation for Batman’s forlorn gaze from that high rise window… Woulda never guessed it. Credit where it’s due: over the last couple of weeks, Warner Brothers has run one of the smartest viral marketing campaigns I’ve ever witnessed. Of course, I could be biased on account of getting to answer … Continue reading →
An AICN contributor, who wrote in after seeing Daniel Craig interviewed on the UK talk show The Morning Interview, might have some clues to the title of Bond 22.
