The Miraculous Run of ‘Parks and Recreation’

The beginnings of the Bloguin empire began back in 2006 with Awful Announcing, which is probably the site that allowed you, the reader of this blog, to realize that Bloguin did more than take aim at the stupid things media types would say. That being said, Awful Announcing does an extremely good job at taking aim […]

Uh-oh, Scarlett Johansson! There’s already a band called The Singles

Like many Scarlett Johansson fans, we got excited over the actor’s latest venture into the music world with a “super-pop” single entitled “Candy.” Teaming up with four other musicians, the quintet called themselves The Singles. It’s a catchy name, right? Unfortunately, there’s another band which claimed the name first and has taken issue with Johansson […]

Video: Musician Brian Wilson gets a biopic in ‘Love & Mercy’ trailer

Legendary singer-songwriter Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys already got the biopic treatment once in the ABC miniseries The Beach Boys: An American Family (2000). But Wilson didn’t care for that film, and 15 years later, his story will be on the big screen. Love & Mercy follows Wilson’s career from his early success with […]

Fresh off a tribute at the Academy Awards in which she impressed many by performing songs from The Sound of Music, Lady Gaga may now be getting ready to scare the crap out of us. Ms. Gaga announced on Twitter Wednesday that she will have a role on the fifth season of FX’s American Horror […]

Why can’t Spider-Man be a person of color in the movies?

During his 50-plus years as perhaps the world’s most popular superhero character, Spider-Man has been Peter Parker. And Peter Parker has been white. But could that change with the next Spider-Man movie? When Sony and Marvel announced they were sharing the property in upcoming Marvel projects (such as May 2016’s Captain America: Civil War) and […]

Video: When an octopus leaps out of water to attack a crab

If you heard that an octopus attacked a crab and pulled it underwater, you might figure that tentacles popped out of the water, ensnared the crab and yanked it below the surface, right? Would you have ever guessed that the eight-tentacled beast would actually jump from the water, smother the crab and wrestle it into […]

Give a listen to Scarlett Johansson’s new ‘super-pop’ band

Judging from photos taken on the red carpet before the Oscars Sunday night, Scarlett Johansson would like us all to forget that John Travolta creeped her out (or pissed her off) by laying a smooch on her cheek. So let’s help her out with that and talk about her new “super-pop” band, The Singles. Johansson, […]

Will the 2015 Oscars have much suspense? Here are some predictions

Earlier this week, I wrote that I don’t feel very excited about this year’s Academy Awards. But I used to do Oscar predictions annually at my personal blog (self-indulgent link), haven’t done so in a couple of years and kind of miss it. So here are my picks for the 2015 Oscars. Unfortunately, I think […]

Video: Kyle Mooney’s Unaired ‘SNL 40’ Red Carpet Pre-Show Sketch

Kyle Mooney grabbed a microphone and took to the streets around Rockefeller Center to awkwardly interview people before this past Sunday’s SNL 40 celebration. In this unaired sketch, Mooney discusses classic cast members like “Mikey Ritter” and “Fred Armistad” while making more than a couple people slightly uncomfortable. “40 SNL’s With Kyle” was originally supposed […]

Why I can’t get excited about the Oscars this year

I love the Academy Awards. I always have. Well, maybe not so much when I was younger. Though I did make a point of noting who won Best Picture every year, I doubt I was following the awards closely when I was a teenager or college student, unless there was a particular film I was […]

Zack Snyder tweets out photo of Jason Momoa as Aquaman

When director Zack Snyder cast Jason Momoa to play Aquaman in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and subsequent DC Comics superhero films (including a standalone Aquaman film in 2018), it was fair to guess that the King of the Seven Seas wasn’t going to be the clean-cut gentleman we saw on the Super Friends […]
