Sorry John Lucas. That must have hurt your pride bone.

Brandon Marshall set a Pro Bowl record by scoring four touchdowns in the game. Thanks for only having six touchdown catches all year, and saving a highlight reel for, of all useless events, the Pro Bowl. Enjoy your MVP award, and $50,000. Please don’t get stabbed again during the off season.

Short reviews of 2011 movies

Since I like movies, and since 2011 is over, and since it is Oscar season … here are some short reviews of a few movies I’ve seen in 2011.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

A reminder of what a tragedy September 11th really was. Because this is the September 11th of September 11th movies.

The Help

An all-black cast in a movie called “The Help.” You can make your own joke.

50/50

They made cancer fun. And didn’t Seth Rogen do a longer and worse version of this movie with Adam Sandler a year or two ago?

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

They made rape fun. Intriguing throughout. And fairly fast. Even though it was 160 minutes long. FINCHER!

J. Edgar

Let’s put Leonardo DiCaprio in old-person makeup. And let’s make sure we get that makeup at Halloween Headquarters.

Midnight In Paris

Owen Wilson just irritates me. Even in good roles.

Attack The Block

Aliens with glowing teeth. And black people with British accents. I’m in.

The Artist

I’m glad there are movies being made where Jon Goodman doesn’t have to speak.

The Descendants

Who doesn’t want to watch George Clooney walk around in sandals and Hawaiian shirts all movie? And Rob Huebel alert.

The Hangover Pt. II

It’s entirely possible they used the same script. But they added a monkey smoking cigarettes and wearing a sleeveless denim jacket. So that’s alright.
