H-O-L-Y crap, last night’s installment of Project Runway was all about Portland contestant Leanne Marshall wiping the goddamn floor with her competitors. As we all remember, she won last week’s challenge (in which the designers had to create their looks using car parts), and as a result was granted immunity from being eliminated during last […]

It’s On TV Tonight!
It wasn’t screened for critics, but that’s no reason not to tune in for what is sure to be the triumphant premiere of 90210 (The CW, 8 pm)–the Beverly Hills, 90210 spin-off. You can read more about it here, but suffice it to say I’M PSYCHED and hope I won’t be as disappointed as I […]

DVD Review: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
I’m not going to claim that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is a great TV show, ’cause it’s not. But if you haven’t seen it, I will say this: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is a better TV show than you probably think it is. There’s a lot of sci-fi on TV these days (or […]

“Orangina” Does Not Rhyme with “Vagina”…
… however, it’s often hilarious to order an Orangina in such a way that it does rhyme with vagina. Yes, I’m immature. That being said, check out this commercial for Orangina that currently runs in Britain after 9 pm — because, yes, IT’S THAT DIRTY. Or maybe it isn’t. Just depends on how you feel […]

IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST NIGHT. I don’t know who made this decision–and I can’t decide if it’s an excellent decision or a terrible one–but someone at OBP/PBS has decided to air a documentary called Ferrets: The Pursuit of Excellence.
