• Sloppy Seconds: What Happened To Harvey Dent?

  No wonder it was so easy to change votes: we had no idea Ohio allowed random people to babysit voting machines at their own homes prior to the election. Anyone who thinks Ohio voted fair and square can at least admit that was a pretty stupid idea, right? Speaking of Ohio and politics, Stephanie Tubbs-Jones was pronounced dead, then that was retracted, following a brain aneurysm. Tubbs-Jones, a black Congresswoman and hardcore Hillary supporter, is currently in critical condition. Britney's condition has improved, so much so that people actually want to read about her latest diet... Read More...

• Sloppy Seconds: Update On The Christian Bale Story

  A Louisiana police officer may be charged with murder after he tasered a suspect nine times in fourteen minutes. His crime, besides a drug charge gone to warrant? Being unable to get up as a result of the tasering. (Guess the races of our two subjects.) Michael Caine thinks there may not be a third Christopher Nolan-Batman movie since The Dark Knight will be hard to top. Is there any male figure young men and women can trust anymore? A New Jersey basketball couch and "youth supervisor" supervised a little too closely: he's been charged with soliciting nude photos from four teenage boys... What are the Top 10 Shows teens are excited to see? (Don't hold your breath they've even heard of Mad Men.) Read More...

• Is Batman's Crime-Fighting Simply a Cry for Help?

  Topless Robot's great list of the top 10 mental illnesses Batman indisputably has suggests that if seeing your parents killed (6. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) leads you to become a melancolic (5. Depression) bat (7. Sublimation of Grief and Breavement Disorder) you're probably mentally ill.  We're not going to disagree with people who have clearly done a significant amount of research on the topic. But personally, we a little terrified to publicly speculate about Batman's mental stability or lack thereof. Mostly because of his number one mental health issue--   Read More...

• While You Were Sleeping: Autistic Children Are Brats?

  The YouTube divorce trial has ended with no surprises. She signed a prenup, so that pretty sure wrapped it up. (Oh yeah, airing your husband's dirty laundry in front of three million people on the internet could not have helped your standing with the judge.) John McCain's essay on the Iraq War was rejected by the New York Times. And not because he's wrong on every single point. Various British media outlets are reporting Christian Bale will be questioned by police over allegations he beat his mother and sister the night before the European premiere of the new Batman movie...

• We Saw The Dark Knight In A Cavernous Movie Theater, During The Dead Of Night

  We started putting down our thoughts on The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan's follow-up to Batman Begins, sometime after arriving home at 3:23am. Here are our first impressions-- and one of the first reviews out there that won't be from a stuffy film critic... Read More...
