The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment.

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you.

The writers of Captain America have been chosen; Miley Cyrus could be up for an Oscar; South Park might come to an end with another movie; and Ennio Morricone may be working on the score for Quentin Tarantino's irritatingly spelled Inglourious Basterds. A lengthy interview with Spike Jonze on Where the... [continue]

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. A movie called War Monkeys is on the way, about "two guys trapped underground with a gang of furious, military-trained rhesus monkeys who are mega-smart and weapon-trained." Wow.
