PopWatch Confessional: I can't stop watching 'Pitch Perfect' on cable
1 hour ago
There are movies we’ll watch every time we spot them on cable because we love them. For me, that’s Apollo 13. Then, there are movies that we’ll get sucked into because it’s summer and there’s nothing else on. This is particularly dangerous if you have the HBO family of channels — East and West feeds. The film that’s currently in heavy rotation is Pitch Perfect, which is genuinely great and therefore guilt-free — until you catch yourself tweeting about having a “toner” for Jesse (Skylar Astin), suddenly noticing how well that T-shirt fit him in the dorm room, »

Prepare to cry watching military families reunite -- thanks, 'SportsCenter'
3 hours ago
If you normally tear up watching videos of soldiers returning home (as you should), prepare to absolutely sob when you watch the six-minute SportsCenter video below of them surprising their families. Forward it around to hear your office neighbor sniffling through the wall. (I just did.)
Wow. Just saw a spot on Sports Center playing “Home” with a montage of soldiers reuniting with their kids…speechless and in tears

The toddlers are precious, but it’s the teens running and yelling, “Daddy!” that get me. Even just typing it. »

'Big Brother': Alliances, showmances, and twists
4 hours ago
The reveal of a game-changing twist, speculation about a houseguest’s true identity, the birth of a powerful alliance, showmances galore, and a squirrel in a cowboy hat eating corn – all this, and it’s only the second episode of the season?Most Valuable PandererJulie Chen’s announcement of the much-hyped Mvp twist left several of the houseguests reeling from its implications. “Wow, that changes the game completely,” belched Jeremy. “This Bb Mvp might really hurt me,” confessed McCrae, worried that the Mvp could neuter his HoH reign. A beaming, glitter-eyed Aaryn was more optimistic: “I think that I’m »

Is a vast hoard of 'E.T.' videogames really buried at a landfill site in New Mexico?
4 hours ago
We may never find out if Big Foot exists, who Carly Simon wrote “You’re So Vain” about, or whether Leonardo DiCaprio is dreaming at the end of Inception. But there is one pop culture mystery which might be cleared up in the near future. For decades, it has been rumored that Atari buried millions of copies of its E.T. videogame at a landfill site in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Now, the Alamogordo city council has given a Canadian company named Fuel Industries permission to search the site for a film project and find out if one of the videogame industry »

Lena Dunham and pals 'Can't Stop' making fun of Miley Cyrus -- Video
4 hours ago
Lena Dunham is young but prolific. In her 27 years, she’s already written, directed, and starred in two feature films, a pair of web series, and the Golden Globe-winning HBO “comedy” Girls; she’s also working on a $3.7 million book for Random House.
But though she’s one of Hollywood’s busiest bees, Dunham somehow found time over the weekend to write, direct, edit, and star in another high-profile project: a 15-second parody of Miley Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop” music video, co-starring her old pal (and fellow Girls castmate) Jemima Kirke.
Don’t expect big things; the brief video, »

'Real Housewives of New Jersey': A pocket full of angry Rosies
4 hours ago
Hello dear Real Housewives of New Jersey devotees! Or should I start calling it the Real Husbands/ Children/ Cousins of New Jersey instead? Sure seems like a lot of the drama is starting to include more of the outside family members. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Manzo children more than I love my own family (kidding, but not really), but it’s time that the show starts centering around the women once again. In any case, let’s recap the latest episode, “Everything is Coming up Rosie,” featuring everyone’s favorite sister:

'Star Trek' Retro Poster Project: First look at 'The Devil in the Dark,' 'The Lights of Zetar'
5 hours ago
“The Devil in the Dark” was the 25th episode of the first season of Star Trek: The Original Series. It did not pit the U.S.S. Enterprise against Satan during a blackout on Halloween. (Because that’s exactly what you were thinking, right?) No, the devil here is the metaphorical representation of the misunderstood Other, which, in this case, is a seemingly psycho mole-like creature of sentient asbestos or rock or whatever that looks like something your cat would throw up if your cat had the stomach the size of a dumpster and only ate refried beans, and a lot of them. »
