I often catch heat for disliking the whole inbred cluster of Apatow-related films, but I assure you that my dislike has nothing to do with snobbishness against broad, no-brainer comedies. I do own a copy of Joe Dirt. Sometimes, ridiculous comedy can be good, as in Four Christmases. At times, this holiday comedy is rude and cringe-inducing, but for this film, it works. Being over-blitzed by promos for the movie before viewing it, I was afraid that all the funny bits were wasted in the trailer. (How many times can seeing Vince Vaughn gagging at baby puke remain humorous?) But the comedy was fresh and plentiful, with the audience laughing audibly at many of the scenes. The film clearly had an overabundance of comedic scenes—a funny scene that had been in the trailer was removed from the theatrical cut. In it, Vince Vaughn's trashy sister-in-law is slapping together a spam and mayo salad because they are "trying to eat healthy." Even without that brief laugh, the movie still had plenty to offer.

Last night, a buddy and I were talking about this year’s Eagles team and season on the whole. He’s a huge Eagles fan and has been all his life despite growing up in Steelers country. So, he feels your pain.

We here at Phillyist know that a good portion of our readers may not reside within the limits of the City of Brotherly Love, and instead retreat to the pleasant confines of suburbia after a hard day's work. Rest assured, suburbanites! You are not alone, and Phillyist cares about your entertainment needs, too.

Okay. So elephants are one of Phillyist's favorite animals, and we're excited to finally get to show you a picture of them. We decided that we needed to be pachyderm-friendly in our headline too, and we were going to go with Groucho Marx ("One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know. "), but then we discovered this old Russian saying: "No matter how much you feed a wolf, an elephant still has bigger balls." Phillyist isn't sure whether we have bigger balls than our -ist brethren (as one of the youngest siblings, we fear we don't), but that's neither here nor there, really. We just wanted to tell you what they're up to.
