This final season of True Blood has felt akin to watching an accountant balance a ledger. Each character and plot thread is being treated as an open account that needs to be squared before the end of the month. It feels very safe, comfortable, predictable, and frankly has not been very interesting to watch. Even […]

The MTV Video Music Awards are a unique phenomenon in the age of Twitter: It’s like having every celebrity scandal of the year happen all within the span of two hours, and also someone occasionally sings or something. AP Party columnists like myself and Samantha Murray unabashedly love this annual festival of complete nonsense and sometimes shockingly […]

It’s happened to all of us: You’re watching an episode of Seinfeld where they mention going to see a movie and you think to yourself, “Man, that sounds like something I’d actually want to see.” The fake movies in Seinfeld usually sound better than what’s actually playing in real theaters. But how would you rank […]

The market for retail coffee service among consumers is a fierce one, so bold moves often seem necessary to stand out from the competition. As Canada’s largest fast food operator, Tim Hortons might not need to take drastic measures to attract people to their coffee, doughnuts and lunch menu. However, that didn’t stop the restaurant […]

Some of you may know this, but many others might not: Nicolas Cage almost played Superman. The movie, titled Superman Lives, was being developed by director Tim Burton with a projected 1998 release. Characters and costumes were designed. Locations were scouted out. But by 2000, the production was dead. There were rumors of script changes, budget concerns […]

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is the sensation sweeping the nation, raising more than $31 million for the ALS Association since July 31. Your Facebook and Twitter timelines are loaded with videos of friends, follows and celebrities dumping buckets of ice water over their heads and challenging others to do the same for a great […]

Lindsay Lohan, the 28-year-old who looks 58 years old, and professional rehab dropout who occasionally acts (like a moron) is apparently working on a memoir. Lohan is about to begin rehearsals for her theatrical debut in David Mamet’s Speed-The-Plow and gave a somewhat lengthy and nonsensical interview to the Daily Mail last week. Before we go any […]

If I took the time to list off my five favorite days of the year, my fantasy football draft with old high school friends would be towards the top. It’s a rarity I get to see this group altogether as most of us have turned 30 and the tomfoolery of yesteryear is on the decline. But on […]

Cinemax’s new series, The Knick, wastes no time in establishing that its main character, Dr. John Thackery (Clive Owen) is TV’s newest antihero, someone you may not be entirely comfortable rooting for as the series progresses. The show opens in 1900 New York City with Thackery in an opium den, and just to remind you […]

We can all agree that this has been a terrible week, right? Between Robin Williams’ death, massive flooding in Detroit and the awful situation in Ferguson, we’ve been reminded just how awful the world can be. Little moments of joy like Baby Groot dancing in Guardians of the Galaxy can help break up the misery, if […]

Arrested Development star Michael Cera quietly released a solo album, true that, on Bandcamp last week. This lo-fi endeavor is mostly instrumental, and includes a cover of Blaze Foley’s “Clay Pigeons” that is sure to make listeners Google, “Blaze Foley.” Cera has performed in the past with groups Mister Heavenly and The Long Goodbye, and […]

I wasn’t sure whether to file this under “How does this shit get published,” “Who would spend $20 on said shit,” “Why is a book of selfies a thing,” or “Why is Kim Kardashian’s book of selfies three-hundred-and-fifty-fucking-two pages?” I’d honestly be more comfortable putting $20 in a trash can and lighting it on fire […]

I think it’s amazing that a movie about legendary escape artist and magician Harry Houdini hasn’t been made yet. But maybe performers like David Blaine and Criss Angel satisfied the appetite for such stunts. And movies like Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige and Neil Burger’s The Illusionist (both of which came out in 2006) told stories somewhat […]

Like just about everyone plugged into media last night, Conan O’Brien was stunned to learn of Robin Williams’ death. But most of us processing the news didn’t have to do so while taping a late-night talk show. That’s the unfortunate position O’Brien, co-host Andy Richter and guest Will Arnett were in Monday night, literally breaking […]

Star Wars: Episode VII director J.J. Abrams has been mischievous with his reveals of anything from the set or any hints as to the movie’s story. When rumors and photos of the Millennium Falcon were circulating around the internet, Abrams released a photo with a note saying he wished people would stop making such claims. But […]
