Monday Morning Roundup: Ho-Ho-Sigh


• What a shitty way to start the holiday season: James Franco was only meh on SNL (though Muse was great!), Brittany Murphy died, and I got into a shoving match with some chick at Penn Station because getting out of the city this weekend was like something out of Independence Day. Wtf.

• Some other stuff which portends the upcoming apocalypse happened too, like groups of kids deleting their Facebook accounts all at once. It’s like when Mark Wahlberg talks about all the bees dying in The Happening, because he is a science teacher and that is a science fact that the world is about to end because of killer trees.

• Also Avatar made a bunch of money, but not the most money of all time. Critics blame it on the snow, but if America really wanted to give James Cameron every last penny in Hollywood, they could have just written him a personal check, like I did.

• Women’s budgeting site Learnvest gives you some pointers on how to talk to your family about how you’re broke and have to move back home your finances this holiday season.

• One of the Jonas kids got married. He’s a little young, but how else is he ever going to get laid before he’s old enough to be a dad?

• If there is only one holiday album you rip from some website this Christmas season, make it Low Budget’s “Smooth Holiday“.

• Newser is right: There really are only three types of plot devices that tv shows utilize during the holiday season.
