New movies: A great doc, an OK thriller, an awful local movie and more
2009-08-06 20:59:00 Big week at the movies! Currently we've got new reviews of "A Perfect Getaway," "Julie and Julia," "Paper Heart," "Adam," "The Answer Man," "The Cove" and "Ran$um Games." No review yet for "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," which didn't screen for critics, but one will be posted tomorrow.Without question the one to see is "The Cove," a thrilling, infuriating documentary about the killing of dolphins in Taiji, Japan. "Paper Heart" and "Adam" are both good (and very different) love stories, though not without their flaws. "A Perfect Getaway" will keep you engaged even if you guess the twist, which you likely will. "Julie and Julia" and "The Answer Man" are awfully dull, despite being well-acted." And "Ran$um Games," an...
Awful Library Books Blog
2009-07-02 12:30:00 Awful Library Books is a light-hearted blog chronicling exactly what the name implies-- hilariously awful titles found in public libraries. My personal favorite entry is "Parents are, like, sooo lame!" which discusses a 1959 teenager's field guide for navigating life and includes such topics as "What Ever Made Me Say Such Things?" and "The Unmentionable Topic" among others, although the post devoted to Dee Snider's Teenage Survival Guide is a close second. The Michigan-based librarians behind the blog will be in our fair city of Chicago next week for the Annual American Library Association Conference. Unfortunately, they will not be discussing awful library books, but they will be speaking on two panels which both sound excellent....

Something Awful parodies Top Gear Challenges
2008-08-18 01:08:00 We're right in the middle of watching every single episode of Top Gear (that is, in the J.C. years, or Jeremy Clarkson - not the series before which goes back 20 years and has an entirely different cast and purpose) and noticed this of Top Gear's infamous Challenges that Something Awful produced. <right click> and <open in new tab> http://www.somethingawful.com/d-/news/top-gear-challenge.php&nb-sp; It's right on - although there is one historical inaccuracy and one Challenge that has been obsoleted: 1) James May wasn't in Series 1 - he didn't come along until Series 2. 2) Big Foot truly exists - we read it on the Internet just this past week! The complete list, from Something Awful, follows (note that they are incorrectly using the term "season" - in Britain these are known as "series"): Season 1: Episode 7Hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May purchase three hatchbacks for under £1,000 apiece, then determine which is th...

Ollie awful Again
2008-06-03 06:59:00 It's strange how things work out, Omar attempted to sign Oliver Perez to a multi-year deal prior to the season but his agent Scott Boras opted for free agency after the season. Well Ollie will be lucky to keep his spot in the rotation, let alone find someone to pay him big money.Perez's Achilles heel has always been consistency, at times showing flashes of brilliance and then suddenly being unable to find the strike zone. The Mets have always hoped that as Ollie matured he would be able to harness his raw talent and become a quality starting pitcher. Ollie is becoming more consistent this year, unfortunately it's in the opposite direction then we had hoped, Perez is making ugly innings a more regular occurrence. Tonight he pitched 1/3 of the first inning in which he gave up six runs on two walks and five hits, two of which were home runs. Perez had the shortest outing since Glavine's implosion on the last day of the season. His ERA has ballooned to 5.70 and he has only pitched t...

There are plenty of reasons why Tigers have been awful
2008-05-20 12:59:00 More of the same? Not today. Besides, being the attentive fans, Romans, countrymen you are, you know why the Detroit Tigers have been losing. You know, for instance, they've not been hitting with runners in scoring position nor, for that matter, putting enough runners in scoring position whether they knock them in or not. You know those who said the Tigers would score 1,000 runs also predicted $3 gas by June. You know Justin Verlander and Nate Robertson are a combined 2-12, with mitigating circumstances. Such as, look Ma, no support (Verlander). But both have ERAs over 6.00. You know Pudge Rodriguez is playing well defensively, still competes with great passion but is hitting .216 with runners in scoring position, 80 points under his career average. You know Edgar Renteria started fast, but is hitting .162 since April 23. You know for some reason nomadic Brandon Inge, the catcher-infielder-outfielder, is hitting .221. You know Jacque Jones was such a flop he was released ...

It Was Awful !
2008-05-16 09:34:00 Central Florida,USPlease send this on to the others. I am sure they are curious. It went awful. We showed video footage of my mother carrying on a normal conversation with us. In the end, the judge ruled in their favor. The guardian hired two attorneys, not one.I am now conducting an investigation . Found out today that the same players just put a 67 year old woman in a nursing home for TOTAL DEMENTIA and also did it on an "emergency" basis. We went to the nursing home and tried to find her. She is not there. Please pass this along to the group. As you know, I am a licensed private investigator and I'm ready to take this to the next level.

Western conference final: Awful refereeing gives Dallas a new life.
2008-05-15 04:17:00 Tonight, game four of the Western conference final was presented and the Dallas Stars were down 0-3 in this series and were facing elimination. But the story of the game was the discussable quality of the referees.For many reasons, the Detroit Red Wings have all the rights to blame the referees for their contribution to the Stars victory. During the first period, Dallas benefited of three straight man-advantages but were not able to convert on either of them. Then later in the period, a goal from Pavel Datsyuk was disallowed because the referee judged that Tomas Holmstrom was standing in the goaltender's crease. But it was clear on the replay that Holmstrom was not inside the blue paint.Then late into the second period, after the referees equalized the penalties stats by calling three straight infractions to the home team, the Dallas Stars opened the score with a goal from Loui Eriksson.The Red Wings tied the game at 1-1 during the first minute of the third period when Henrik Zette...

JD Salinger Has Awful Taste In Movies
2008-05-01 00:40:00 JD Salinger Has Awful Taste In MoviesFamed author reviews Indiana Jones This isn't strictly news, but you might find it rather amusing. Reader Adam Newell just emailed us to let us know that there's a letter written by the author JD Salinger being auctioned on ebay. Now, Salinger wrote some fine works ? Catcher In The Rye, particularly, remains required reading for anyone in their late teenage years ? but the man is clearly less reliable when it comes to judging movies.In the letter, written to his lover Janet Eagleson, Salinger says:"I got hooked into seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark, which might be excused for its unwitty, unfunny awful socko-ness if it had been put together by Harvard Lampoon seniors"Well, la-di-dah. You can see the full note here. You can even buy it if you've got a couple of thousand dollars sitting in your pocket.Also in Things We Learned Today: JD Salinger isn't dead.Source: EmpireOnline

Awful Volleyball Again
2008-04-26 01:37:00 Volleyball for the past few days were really awful especially on Thursday night because window shopping inside the court had begun once again. It was an insult and I was really disappointed with some people.Anyway, I was totally lack of sleep and my brain was floating. I should not have wasted my time in the first place. Two nights of volleyball again was basically killing myself by taking my time off so that I had to continue with my work till near daylight to shag myself out furthermore.It was difficult to make decisions at times due to too many constraints.

DC Madam: Schlock & Awful

The only ones getting publicly skewered and humiliated are the girls who worked for her "fantasy escort service." A Navy lieutenant commander endured this yesterday: Navy Times Wash Post"The case will almost certainly end her career. The prosecutor, Daniel Butler, had the woman spell her name slowly and clearly, then had her talk about when she was "aggressive" with a client, when she was "more submissive," when she had a difficult client ("he tried to remove the condom") and how often she got "intimate.""What do you mean by 'intimate'? "The soon-to-be-former naval officer looked at him in disbelief. "Touching, caressing," she explained."What happened" after that? he demanded."Sex.""What type of sex?""Sometimes it was oral sex; usually it was normal.""Normal?"

Closers having awful night
2008-04-10 04:40:00 BY ADAM RONIS It has been a terrible week for closers with injuries and blown saves. Rafael Soriano went on the DL tonight. Jeremy Accardo allowed four runs in 1/3 inning to blow a save tonight. Kerry Wood blew a save by allowing a game-tying home run to Jason Bay. There's still more baseball to be played, too. Just like last season, expect a lot of change when it comes to closers.

Hansen Awful in Loss to Twins
2008-03-02 21:57:00 Pitcher Craig Hansen, working to earn a spot in the Sox pen, looked awful today. He faced 9 batters giving up three walks, two hits, and hit a Twins batter. Hansen had 4 earned runs in the lone inning that he pitched, debuting his ERA for the Spring at 36.00.Hansen usually has good stuff. He had an ERA of 3.86 in Pawtucket last season. He features a fastball in the mid-high 90's and a good slider. It's too early for this to mean much of anything. Let's hope Hansen gets back on track in his next outing.The Sox lost to the Twins 8-2. Lowell and Pedroia had the only RBI's for the Sox, both going 1-3. Lowell hit an HR in the 2nd inning.Fenway West- The West Coast Home to Red Sox Nation

Movie Review: Semi-Pro- Fully awful
2008-03-01 05:39:00 (+1 for the Tropics girls) Semi-Pro is the unfunniest comedy since Delta Farce and Will Ferrel's worst movie to date. He plays Jackie Moon, a one-hit wonder who purchases an ABA basketball team, the hapless Flint Tropics. When the ABA commisioner informs Moon that he plans to merge four ABA teams into the NBA (All of the teams except the Flint Tropics were real ABA teams.) and that the Tropics won't be one of them, Moon becomes upset. In a drawn-out boardroom scene, Moon convinces the commissioner to let the teams with the four best records merge. Moon then trades a washing machine for a washed-up point guard called Monix (Woody Harrelson) who gives the Tropics enough "hap" to compete with the rest of the league. Besides the main story, there's a completely pointless romance between Monix and a newly-married ex-wife. I'll just say that the plot leaps higher logically than the players on the court do physically. Like fireworks that launch in the air only to disappear with...

Knight Rider Video Clips = Horrifically Awful - SendMeRSS
2008-02-14 16:03:00 Knight Rider Video Clips = Horrifically AwfulOh boy... I justed watched five clips from the Knight Rider TV movie/pilot that will be airing this Sunday. How many synonyms are there for the word awful? Ok... let me back up and maybe try to be a bit more fair. The only scenes that were excrutiatingly painful to watch were the ones containing the fellow on the left, Justin Bruening, who plays Mike Knight, son of Michael Knight. Holy cow is this guy awful in the role. I'm talking cringe-inducing. You can see for yourself by heading over to IESB.net, which has exclusive clips from the show. Now they're not ALL bad, mostly the couple of clips where "Mike" appears. Although that doesn't mean that the other ones are fantastic. I do like the girl, and I actually like Val Kilmer as the voice of K.I.T.T. and I think they've done a decent job with the personality of the car. But the character of Mike... holy cow, man.

So Funny It's Awful
2008-02-13 04:36:00 After Emma’s morning class, a few girls—this new group’s from Seattle—mill around to ask her about shoulder alignment or hamstrings. Emma doesn’t look at me, focusing only on the girl she’s talking to. I’m leaning along the edge of the deck. Without moving her head, though, Emma lifts a curled hand, her index finger bending my way, hello. [Click here to read the first episode, or here to read the previous one.] It seems like a long time, but I’m sure it’s not: Her yoga class disperses. It’s lunch time and the smell of Pascal’s cooking makes me weak. “You’re back early.” She stands on tiptoes and kisses me long enough to create a little excitement. Stepping back, she frowns at the gash on my forehead. “I had enough.” I was about to tell Emma how much I had missed her but she glances over her shoulder and I decide, better not. “Where’s Charlie?” “He stayed there,” I tell her. “We’ve rented the place for four more days.” No ...
