In honor of Black Friday, here’s a list of great DVD sales going on today for your inner lazy-ass geek. (Slashfilm & Cinematical)

Cinemablend offers up the best movie music moments of the Aughts — my only disagreement is with number seven. (Cinemablend)

There was one critic who loved Old Dogs, and I think he may have been born completely fucking stupid in the brain. (FilmDrunk)

Roger Ebert is not my favorite critic, but he carries that senior statesman title with unbelievable admiralty. Here’s a great list of his ethical rules you should follow if you’re gonna be critic’ing. (Sun Times)

I love the little regional differences in America. Wear Carhartt attire in the South, and you’re a blue collar grunt. Wear Carhartt attire in the Northeast, and you’re a hipster. (Toughweld)

Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino were on a Japanese cooking show talking up a prequel to Inglorious Basterds. Wait? They were on a Japanese cooking show? (The Playlist)

It’s a little late this year, but there’s always next year, if you want the perfect Thanksgiving centerpiece: The Tampon Turkey Thanksgiving Centerpiece from Tampon Crafts! (White Trash Mom)

The day after Thanksgiving is probably the last day you want to hear about Burger King’s Cup Cake Sundae Shake, but here’s a review. (Impulsive Buy)

Twilight Saga: New Moon in three panels. (Cracked)

Twilight stalker alert — let’s just say, New Moon wouldn’t be an ideal blind date. (Agent Bedhead)

Ryan Reynolds is all kinds of excited about Green Lantern. Pfttt. You’re yesterday’s news, Double-R. (Geek Tyrant)

The inability to give up O.J. jokes ultimately killed his career, but damn, Norm MacDonald is still 30 flavors of awesome. Here’s why:

Hey Pajiba! Love to see/hear what you guys have to say about this hilarious Gem I stumbledupon today:
http://www.feministing.com/archives/019056.html

A serious Christian abstinence only rap by some of the lamest white boy rappers ever. Seriously hilarious.

You're welcome.

Is liking Norm MacDonald 'Guy' thing? Because, boy, I just don't get it.

Ryan Reynolds is all kinds of excited about Green Lantern. Pfttt. You’re yesteday’s news, Double-R.

Everyone will be yesterdays news, you shot down Joseph Gordon-Levitt after one movie, and then took him back after an SNL episode, you're about as loyal to your man crushes as Benedict Arnold.

Twilight again? You guys do sure love the shit that you hate.

Posted by: superasente at November 27, 2009 1:34 PM

"...do sure..."

Strike that. Reverse it.

Really? The little evil text ads? I guess y'all do what you have to do, but those things are aggravating as shit.

Posted by: Lucas at November 27, 2009 1:34 PM

Boy, that isn't how we used to do the 'Christian Side Hug' back in the day.

Ebert: For example, if some "friends" throw you a birthday party at a Vegas joint they hope to fill with movie stars who are your "friends," say thanks, but no thanks.

And I thought the Eloquents were throwing me seven birthday parties this year because they actually liked me.

I think every critic should be compelled to learn Eberts ethics, especially modern music critics. If there are any bigger fame whoring/star fuckin/money grubbing wastes of carbon in entertainment, I'd love to here about it.

Poor Dustin. Did R squared not respond to your Thanksgiving dinner invitation? Please don't let his replacement be the Prince of Persia - there's only so much Jake I can take.

Two of these links are repeats from Pajiba Love on the 25th. Come on, now- I need NEW inane pop culture tidbits to keep me from feeling sorry for myself for having to work today...

WHAT IS IT WITH SIDE HUGS???? Argh, I hate them!!! In every reality show people give each other side hugs while awkwardly looking into the camera and saying "I love you" without an ounce of feeling behind it.

If you're going to express affection for someone do it with a real hug instead of putting your arm around somebody's neck and look like you're touching Dogma's poop monster. I understand if people don't like to touch or be touched, but if you don't appreciate someone enough to give them a real hug then don't touch them and stop ruining the aesthetics of hugs.

Brilliant list of top ten movie/music moments. I haven't seen Black Snake Moan so can't comment on your issue with #7, but the rest of the list is stellar. I get teary when Most of the Time plays, with John Cusack sitting in the poring rain on that bench, wondering what happened. And then Laura comes along, the hope, her heartbreak, god, it kills me.

Posted by: Brenton at November 27, 2009 4:43 PM

I loved Black Snake Moan, both the movie and the song. So, that's what I have to say about that.

Plus, that Ebert list was pretty much exclusively for Ben Lyons, and I loves it.

My only issue with that cinema music list is that one musical is included. Only accounting for the first two years of the Aughts we have (off the top of my head): Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Dancer in the Dark, The Happiness of the Katakuris, and Moulin Rouge!.

Even then, Hedwig aside, I'm a bit disappointed that none of the awesome Pop of Suicide Club was included on the list. Mail Me? Brilliant. And two of the best sequences in the film are supported by awesome music. Opening subway suicide? Dinnertime suicides in Japan? Horrifying. And then there's the glam rock moment at the bowling alley. Enough said. Great film for music.

Enough with the "Tiny Dancer" scene! It's a hokey scene! It's not that great a song!! (I do really like that movie, but...come on!)

Posted by: Jay at November 28, 2009 4:09 PM

My trashy little heart swelled with pride at seeing the tampax turkey centerpiece here on Pajiba. Happy Day After Turkey Day!

Can someone please tell me that the Christian Side Hug thing was a joke and nothing but a joke? I might get violent and kill someone if it's not.
