Pajiba Love

John Cusack thinks he's made 10 or 15 good films. Hmm... I wonder where Must Love Dogs and America's Sweethearts rank on that list... (A.V. Club)

What's this? A contest where you can win money, fame and glory? Well, money anyway. And who doesn't like money? (WIMB)

So he's saying age and wisdom had nothing to do with casting Scarlett Johansson as the lead in three consecutive films? Well, that makes sense. (Agent Bedhead)

With a headline like, "Man Sentenced After Masturbating on a BMW," I could make 'dick caught in the tailpipe' jokes 'til I'm blue in the face -- but it's just really not going to improve this story much. (QuizLaw)

Dan's musical year in review -- parts one and two. (Slowly Going Bald)

Holy yikes. You asked for it, so here it is: The 10 Creepiest Craigslist Casual Encounters. (Cracked)

What happens when a former Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize winner meets the most grossly incompetent President in US history? Snark among yourselves. (TVFallsInTheWoods)

STFU!!! The Jackson 5 are getting back together to tour next year. Already, the Spice Girls reunion seems so much less creepy. (Celebitchy)

Today we have a darling short stop-motion animation film created and composed by a brilliant young film student, whose sister happens to be a friend of the site. "Rock, Paper, Scissors" -- after the jump,

Heyoo!

Man, that's why I'm single...I haven't been trolling the Craigslist Casual Encounters listings. Where else can I find a guy so deeply (heh) into fisting?

Sheriffpony, you beat me to it. America's Sweethearts is one of my guilty pleasures. I think it's the screwball comedy aspect.

The Jackson reunion? Wow...I don't know whether to be scared or amused.

Huh. Well, if lack of wisdom and old age caused him to cast Ewan McGregor in his movie, then I guess I can't complain. Just...no Scarlett/Ewan pairings from Allen. "The Island" was enough for one lifetime. Ugh.

I also love the "Rock Paper Scissors" short. Makes up for the fact that those craigslist photos are going to HAUNT ME IN MY DREAMS tonight.

Aw, I really liked the clip today. The music made me smile... as did the dramatic clifftop pause. Brilliant stuff!

The clip was adorable! It would have never worked out between Paper and Scissors, I have no idea what Scissors could have been thinking.

Possible name for the Jackson 5 tour:


"The Michael Jackson will molest your child tour"

That was so cute! I just knew that those scissors would get their comeuppance; such meanies.
