The Only Commercial During This Year’s Super Bowl That Matters
The many Ferris Bueller references found in this commercial – I can’t handle it!
If I Could Have Any Super Power…
The response that I have heard from most is usually flying. Have any of you seen the trailer for Chronicle yet? Kevin introduced it to me a couple of months ago, but now the marketing team for the film has released a new promo video in which they have built three RC planes that look like humans. They then flew them all over New York City!

James Franco’s Newest Project Is Not That Impressive
For as long as I have known, I have always sort of put James Franco on this non-existent pedestal. It’s probably because for the longest time, he hasn’t put out anything that has sucked. It all started with Freaks and Geeks, but his career has only gone up since then. In addition to his acting career, Franco is also a genius and can’t get enough of school. The guy keeps going back!
On Wednesday, I read a post from Flavorwire about his new documentary series called Undergrads. Even before watching the trailer, I started psyching myself out.
“Oh man, no one knows college better than James Franco! He’s been there so many times, I bet he highlights the best stories!”
“Re-live the best four years of my life (almost) with Franco’s new documentary? Yes please!”
“Dorm-Life 2.0?!”
I got a little bit ahead of myself because instead of getting my favorite web-series, “Dorm Life,” the trailer resembled more of MTV’s “College Life.” In case any of you get confused, those two are NOT the same thing or even remotely similar to each other. Unfortunately, there were even some parts of the trailer that made me cringe. I’m not saying that his new series had to be like my own college experience, but I felt like there were highlights of things you may have expected from college, but never happened. When it came down to it, those experiences were just too corny.
Anyways, maybe I’m wrong. Check out the trailer here and let me know what you think.
Sweet Makeups From Enemies
Hugs really can solve anything, can’t they? This sweet series by Berlin designer and illustrator Ingrid Aspöck can make anyone’s heart melt. While many of us know that there may never be a happy ending for some of these pairings, those of us who wish for one can just imagine this as an alternative instead.

Sundance Spotlight: West of Memphis
The first time I had heard about this documentary was through Kevin a couple months ago, but even at that time I had no idea what this story was really about. Produced by Peter Jackson (YEP THE Peter Jackson,) and Fran Walsh, the two decided to dig deeper into an investigation that put three innocent men behind bars for the murder of three young boys back in 1993. This documentary re-tells the story of how this came to be and how new evidence and new witnesses are coming forward in an attempt to put the actual killer behind bars.
It is a truly a remarkable story. I can’t wait to read the reviews on it and watch the documentary myself.

2012 Golden Globe Awards Red Carpet
Charlize Theron in Dior completely gets Yow Yow’s stamp of approval for being the best dressed on the red carpet last night. There was a whole lot of cream and ivory, but gosh the simplicity and elegance of this gown made me melt. The headband was also what sealed the deal for me.
500 Days of Summer: Why Summer Finn Made A Huge Mistake
I don’t think I could ever get tired of watching 500 Days of Summer. I’m not exactly sure if I could call it my favorite movie like Definitely, Maybe, but it’s pretty close. It’s at least under the Top 5. It doesn’t matter where the movie is playing, I will always choose it. Debating between movie picks at a friends house? 500 Days of Summer. 500 Days of Summer or continuing the Oxygen Glee marathon? 500 Days of Summer. 500 Days of Summer or a friend’s 4th of July BBQ? Leave the BBQ early to go home and watch 500 Days of Summer. Yes, that actually happened. Judge me.
Tonight, I feel like I paid more attention to the movie on E! than I usually do. While I do believe that both Summer and Tom have had their ups-and-downs in the film, ultimately, Summer made a huge mistake in not choosing Tom. In fact, that’s the only opinion I have while watching the film up until those last five minutes. If you have not yet seen the movie, you better stop reading now because I’m about to spoil it for you hard in paragraphs to come.
First off, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a catch and so is his character Tom.

Have you guys seen the movie Drive yet? I recently watched it over the holidays and probably fell more in love with the soundtrack than the movie itself!
2011′s Most Memorable Quotes In Pop Culture
Initially I believed that Kris Humphries’ quote about people not caring about Kim Kardashian after she has kids was the winner of 2011, but now New York Magazine’s post is making me have second thoughts. The magazine has compiled a list of quotes from celebrities, movies, and television series that are catchy, memorable, and just downright silly. A few of these got a chuckle out of me, but I think my favorite ones come from a couple of movies that I did not watch from this year.
“If you don’t surrender that list, I will kill every friend you have — Zake, Keelie, neighbors, even your boring teachers — and when I’m finished you will be responsible for the death of every friend you have on Facebook.” – the villain after Taylor Lautner’s character in Abduction
“This is aaahr time.” – Kenny Wormland’s character in the remake of Footloose
