“Aaron Sorkin gave bad advice on Angry Birds 11-4. The key is NOT not to use the green bird as a boomerang - it’s to not use the green guy full-stop. you just need to aim the first bird (the big red one) at the helmet of the nearest pig.

I hope the Good Morning America reporter who tackled the Rebecca Black story gives will.i.am at least as much shit about “Big Fat Bass.”  Also, about being will.i.am.

The Ghost Writer
Fantastic film, finally something from last year I can say I liked without reservation.  There’s so much Polanski in this, not just the recognizable echoes of The Tenant and Frantic or his standard fears of paranoia and awkward powerlessness.  The espionage part could only matter to non-Americans (Brits - we consider you one of our colonies, now, anyway); “thrills” are downplayed...
