Don’t Buy: Kurt Cobain today!

We get it. Kurt Cobain was an icon. He was a major player in the grunge movement and proponent of teenage angst back in the 1990s. But he’s dead. He died back ‘94. But for some reason, people keep doing things to his memory that just… miss the point of “who he was.”
The latest: Kurt [...]

Don’t Buy: Annoying Made Up Holidays

It is apparently “Talk in Third Person Day.”
No.
If you do this, I will first lose respect for you then despise you for the rest of the month.

Don’t Buy: Children Pop Star Imitations

I don’t like children. I like them even less when they do things for attention and admiration. And when they perform in costumes to adult-themed songs, just forget about it.
Enjoy. Or not.

Don’t Buy: Friskies’ “Kitty Wonderland” Commercial

Going off Nate’s previous post, what is going on with this commercial?

Is the cat food laced with LSD? Cat ladies, why do you want your cat to go on a magical adventure without you? Are cats more pure than humans, being that this cat has an opportunity to go on a murderous buffet and doesn’t?
Basically, [...]

Buy: The Concept of Predictable Sequel Titles

I like cheesy things, so it’s no surprise that I love the obnoxious, eyeroll-inducing sequel titles that go beyond sticking “2″ or another number behind it.
This morning I read about a sequel for Marky Mark’s”Four Brothers,” . Guess what they are calling it? “Five Brothers!” Or how about The Chipmunks’ “The Squeakquel?” It’s annoying but [...]

Don’t Buy: Portman as Elizabeth Bennet

You know how Natalie Portman is the face of the ultimate indie-mainstream cross over. She’s cute, smart, vegetarian and a “serious actress”? Well, over the years I’ve liked her less and less. I can’t remember the last movie where it was her role that really made me like the movie. Can you?
But regardless of my [...]

BODB: Space Invaders Screen Adaptation

Space Invaders, a “beloved” arcade game is in the works of being made into a movie. The game has no plot. It involves shooting at alien looking things coming towards earth. This is not the first time the game has been adapted into something beyond the video game. It has been on t-shirts, in music [...]

Don’t Buy: Cubicle Culture - The Musical!

Since I am now a part of the cubicle culture, I think about what could make this culture better. And I think I got it. To make people jealous of your cubicle mates you have to make a fun video showing how quirky and fun your colleagues are. Just look how fun these Google employees [...]

Buy: Celebrities Attributing “Celebrities”

It’s time to call attention to celebrities’ hard work. They write poetry, tweet their every thought and sing about stuff just for us! It just isn’t right to ignore them.  Tributes, roasts and impersonations seem so passe and impersonal. The newest and best way to recognize their creative work is by having other celebrities present [...]

Don’t Buy: Movies based on BORING board games

Okay, okay! I get it. There will be movies made based off childhood games. I’m tired of hating and complaining about this losing battle. Candyland is a land of imagination and tasty treats, a happy Hansel and Gretel! Monopoly… borderline boring, but not if it’s a Blade Runner-esque picture!
So now it’s Risk. RISK? I couldn’t [...]
