Entertainment Link-Off: Friendship Has Its Benefits

Steve said it best on Twitter last night when he tweeted “Every time I see an ad for No Strings Attached, I think it’ll cost Natalie Portman an Oscar the same way Norbit cost Eddie Murphy.” Perhaps it’s not such a good idea to kick off the ELO with her and her infamous laugh from the Golden Globes. Instead, let’s start with one of her co-stars Olivia Thirlby. The movie was initially titled Fuckbuddies. Perhaps that would have generated a bit more interest from the general public.

After the jump, a nice look at the opening credits for Scott Pilgrim, MTV landed themselves in hot water, Battle Los Angeles released some awesome viral marketing and a nifty Lost fan video that should please many fanatics out there.  Continue reading →

This week, the crew of Epic Meal Time are back with a fresh take on salad. The old saying popularized by The Simpsons is “You don’t make friends with salad.” It looks like the EMT boys are trying to prove that adage wrong by making a salad solely with meat. Continue reading →

NHL Power Rankings: Week 16

Every team has crossed the halfway point of their 82-game schedule but the standings are tightly packed. The fourth place team in the Western Conference has only a two-point lead on 8th. It’s parity like that in the NHL that causes the weekly NHL Power Rankings to move so much from week to week. For example, there’s another new team atop the rankings while teams have moves up as far as ten spots or dropped as many as seven positions in the rankings. Continue reading →

The Best of Barrett-Jackson 2011

This week is the world-famous Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction is the premier classic and rare car auction in the world. It’s the sort of thing that rich people go to for buying new status symbols and where real men go to drool over what basically is automotive erotica. It’s basically a week-long celebration of the car where gearheads are king. So to celebrate the year’s biggest car show where the cars and not the manufacturers are the stars, here are ten of my favourite cars from this week’s auction. Continue reading →
