Armie Hammer on his role as Leo's secret lover in new biopic about J. Edgar Hoover: "It's not a kissing scene. It's a ton of kissing scenes."
Guitar Hero just got axed. First video game I've utterly fallen in love with since about 1985.
The House defeat of parts of the Patriot Act is just the kind of wacky, two-party dismantling of Bush era laws I've been hoping for. Thank you, Tea Party! (I know!)

Lots of weird baby crimes today: baby delivered in a circus bathroom stall, baby smothered when grandmother sat on her, and baby put in freezer by high dad.
Spider-Man reviews are out! NY Mag: "maximalist camp". NY Times: like "being on a soundstage where a music video is being filmed in the early 1980s." Not in a good way.

Nicholas Cage matrix: his performances mapped onto "Brilliant/Rubbish" and "Serious/Mental" axes. You can guess which quadrant has all my favorites.

Mark Bittman comes out fighting in new column. He argues the FDA's budget should be bigger than Homeland Security's, since more people die from food than terrorism. Gutsy!
Roman Polanski is directing an adaptation of the play God of Carnage. Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly, Kate Winslet, and Christoph Waltz. Holy smokes, that guy gets good actors.
Mubarak supporters are attacking journalists. As long as you want the world to think you're a bunch of autocratic thugs, great strategy.

I want Charlie Sheen's TV mom to be my rehab friend: "I have the greatest respect for the terrific struggle addiction is. People can try rehab more than once and that does not represent failure."
Someecards: Let's show our support of the Egyptian people by spending twice as much time on the Internet today.
A.V. Club interview with Robert Osborne from TCM. Guests who surprised him the most with their formidable movie knowledge: Sally Field and Whoopi Goldberg.

Cultural critics discuss why only 15% of Wikipedia contributors are women. Well, let's look at government, business, entertainment, and the media. Beginning to sense a trend.

How not to do corporate philanthropy: the way they tried, and utterly failed, to do it at Google.org. "It was embarrassing," says an ex-employee.

I love Gregg Araki's goofball nihilist 90's movies, which he's returned to with his new one, Kaboom. A.O. Scott says it has "the passionate awkwardness of a punk-band reunion tour."
Good Times article about the role of Al Jazeera in Arab uprisings. It's been sympathetic to Islamists in the past, though "curiously enough", they're not leading these protests.
Yeah Yeah Yemen! Very excited about wave of protests against questionable governments. Plus, the Yemen protesters seem to have adopted pink as theme color.

It's a wave of uprisings against corrupt regimes! First Tunisia, now Egypt. Egyptian government has already blocked Facebook and Twitter.
19th century guidebook to the brothels of Manhattan, which were absolutely everywhere (23 on West 27th St!) Yep, your great-great-grandparents were depraved.
"Bush White House Broke Elections Law, Report Says". Shocking, I know.

Naval cadets expelled for having an illicit substance called "spice". Guess our military didn't want some academy kids controlling the universe.

Hipster comeuppance: "Williamsburg, Toddlertown". "You can go out on a Friday night and feel sexy and single-ish. And then wake up next morning with the kid and take him to the farmers' market."

Roger Ebert Presents At the Movies debuts tonight on PBS.
Wow, Mike Birbiglia sure is getting a lot of mileage out of that one sleepwalking story. He's doing a Macy's store-window stunt where he'll be in bed for a week.
Here's a good one: Sacha Baron Cohen to star in comedy based on Saddam Hussein's romance novel.

Jared Loughner's paranoia about grammar is actually sort of common. Grammar people get mail from conspiracy theorists: "they see it as a plot to standardize people's minds."
The rat running over the sleeping guy on the 4 train is pretty bad, but not as horrifying as the one about the woman whose ceiling caved in while she was in the shower, covering her with rats.
Bust reports on mysterious vanishing of o.b. tampons from stores. "Temporary supply interruption" is company explanation. Of what? String? They're up to $50 on eBay.

Iran bans a production of Hedda Gabbler because it's "based on nihilistic and hedonistic ideas." Better not do any Shakespeare over there, either.
Travis Morrison describes his new band, Time Travel, "like if the White Stripes were inspired by Beyonce or industrial hip-hop." Dismemberment Plan plays Jimmy Fallon Jan 20.
Debra Granik's next movie: Pippi Longstocking. After doing Winter's Bone about a murderous meth syndicate and Down To The Bone about cocaine addicts, why not?

Looks like Banksy (or Mr. Brainwash?) hit LA! Banksy-like Oscar statue mural appeared on La Brea Ave, surrounded by Stormtroopers.
