Entertainment Link-Off: Endings and Beginnings

It’s a whole slew of sequels at the box office this weekend and if the early numbers are any indication, it looks like it’s gonna be a disappointing take for Hollywood. Anyway, earlier this week the series finale of Being Erica just aired, so to mark the end of such a wonderful series, let’s just start off with the show’s leading lady, Erin Karpluk.

After the jump, 10 things you didn’t know about Being Erica, plenty of new movie trailers, an interesting behind the scenes look at The Thing, a montage of The Spielberg Face and Jimmy Kimmel ruins Christmas for a bunch of kids. Continue reading →

Sunday Link-Off: To The Finish

I’m getting really bad at this linkdump thing. Eventually, I’ll get back to the normal schedule. For now, here’s Scarlett Johansson.

We’ve reached office Christmas party season. The question that’s always being asked is how drunk can you get in front of your co-workers. (Grub Street)

Looking for advice on everything? Then you need to hit up Parks & Rec character Jean-Ralphio. (GQ)

Not surprisingly, ESPN did an episode of SportsCenter dedicated to Tim Tebow that they called TebowCenter. They love themselves a story. Actual sports? Not so much. (Deadspin)

After the jump, not every college bowl game is worth it, some Community love and Nolan North is the video game industry. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: Home Is Where the Heart Is

It’s Saturday, so it’s time for another Entertainment Link-Off. This weekend at the box office, it’s a face-off between the star studded/critically bashed New Years Eve or there’s the less critically hated The Sitter starring Jonah Hill. Oh you can also find Ari Graynor in The Sitter, so let’s start off the ELO with her.

After the jump, the new Spider-Man poster, some Battleship related links, save Greendale Community College, reaction to The Dark Knight Rises prologue, a few more movie trailers to check out and ending it all off with the latest music video from Magnetic North. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: Wet Hot Aussie Summer

It’s a lovely Sunday here in Melbourne as The Steve Murray World Tour carries on. So let’s kick this off with some Aussie eye candy, Nicky Whelan.

Forbes has analyzed the value of all 30 NHL teams. There definitely aren’t surprises at #1 or #30 in value, that’s for sure. (Forbes)

If you’re up for a good read, here’s a more in depth look into Derek Boogaard’s life as an enforcer in the NHL before his untimely death this past summer. (NY Times)

Entertainment Link-Off: Back to December

No wide releases at the box office this weekend so it’ll be the same old battle between sparkling vampires and Muppets for the top spot. Anyway, just gonna kick off the latest ELO with Korean pop star (and also fellow Canadian) G.NA.

After the jump, have a look at the new trailer for the sci-fi epic John Carter, Universal Studios is closing Jaws, another Harry Potter theme park may be on its way, the Prometheus trailer leak made everyone but the FOX Films CEO happy, Hanson releases their own beer and William Shatner takes on Carrie Fisher.

Wednesday Link-Off: Catching Up

Writing a linkdump when you’re in a timezone completely opposite the rest of the blogosphere is harder than I expected. That’s why there’s fewer links than usual. That doesn’t explain how I completely missed Michelle Trachtenberg on the Maxim cover back in March. Why was I not informed?

We’ve all heard about the CFL alumni luncheon fight between Joe Kapp and Angelo Mosca by now. Well, legendary pro wrestling champion The Iron Sheik is looking to make Kapp humble. (The 55-Yard Line)

The Star Wars: The Old Republic beta is out. Somehow, my sister got a beta invite and I, a moderately influential blogger, did not. Anyway, is it living up to the hype so far? (Forbes)

Looking for breakfast with a side of drama? Then Waffle House is the restaurant for you! (New York Times)

After the jump, Twitter’s latest casualty, the life of an NCAA walk-on and in the cockpit of an F1 racecar. Continue reading →

Sunday Link-Off: Tryptophan Nap

To celebrerate the University of Michigan’s massive win over those bastards at Ohio State, here’s Jaime Edmonson dressed up in Wolverines garb.

With this being Thanksgiving weekend in the States, it’s only appropriate that we take a look at 8 of the strangest moments in turkey pardon history. (The FW)

Baseball super-agen Dan Lozano is apparently one of the sleaziest guys in baseball. And he work’s for A-Rod and I’m saying that. (Deadspin)

And on that note, Hulk Hogan’s divorce settlement would make any grown man tap-out in real life. His ex-wife took him to the cleaners. (St. Petersburg Times)

After the jump, the lockout is over, everyone hates Congress and cat wrestling! Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: Closer Than You Think

After several weeks of rotten films hitting the screen at the theatres, it’s rather refreshing to see three fresh films debuting at the box office this weekend. Topping the critically applauded films is The Muppers starring Jason Segel and Amy Adams. I figured it would be appropriate to start off with the leading actress from the film no?

After the jump, Nolan talks The Dark Knight, best Save Community posters, 3D conversion of old films is the rage, Twilight is still bad for you, Ah-nold gives the best audio commentary ever in Total Recall and Chuck Norris is now kicking ass in the World of Warcraft. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: On Vacation

Some minor travel issues prevented me from getting the Sunday links online this week. Travel will also probably limit the number of posts I’ll be making on here for the next couple of weeks. Anyway, enough of that. Here’s Lake Bell who I’m pretty sure is a two-face.

In the 21st century, it’s only appropriate that the Jerry Sandusky case was blown wide open by an internet forum posting. (New York Times)

You’d never imagine who’s one of LSU’s biggest football stars this season. The #1 team in the country has made a star of its punter. (Wall Street Journal)

The Blue Jays are Blue again. They’ve gone back to the future with their new logo and uniform and that can only be a good thing. (Sports Logos)

After the jump, the far-reaching effects of the NBA lockout, more on NBC’s Thursday night and Erin Andrews gets a Gatorade shower. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: Defanged

The big news this week isn’t what’s hitting theatres this weekend, it’s NBC’s midseason schedule fail! With the brilliant comedy Community left off the schedule, many fans are worried about the show’s future prospects. So, let’s kick off this week’s ELO with one of the show’s stars Alison Brie.

After the jump, a few more tidbits on Community, Edward fails as a vampire in Twilight, some Muppets related videos, Joseph Gordon-Levitt gets an interesting date request and a new music video from Youtuber Jason Chen. Continue reading →
