Finally Another Palahniuk Adaptation Is Brought to Life
by C.W. Tompkins in Arts & Entertainment
The cult success of Fight Club seems as though it would induce the Hollywood film community to raid the library of Chuck Palahniuk's other manuscripts. However, it has taken almost ten years for this to happen and Hollywood wasn't to be the benefactor of his next Pulp piece applied to celluloid.
For Better or Worse, It's the Same Old Song

Thomas Jefferson once deemed: "Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom." And I think if T.J. was around today, he'd take one look at that box his whippersnapper grandchild would call a television and say, "Gee, Jim Halpert's got it right." Like most level-headed Americans, I use primetime programming as a moral compass.
TV on the Radio Makes John Mango `10 Squeal
by John Mango in Arts & Entertainment
Dear Science bites. In a really good way. TV On the Radio is one of those silly little groups that transcends a single musical category, something of a mixing pot of musical sounds, baking something disjointed and hollow while being entirely rhythmic and soulful.

For some reason, microbreweries were illegal in Japan until 1994. Strange, I know. The Macro has been in business since the 19th century on everyone's favorite Pacific island but the small businessman couldn't profit from his genius until the Clinton administration.

In all his eighty-three years, Paul Newman was never seen sitting on his hands. From 1954's Somebody Up There Likes Me to voicing Doc Hudson in 2007's Cars, Newman's film career is filled with a wide range of roles and works. For over 50 years, theater-goers have watched him travel the road to perdition, rob people blind with the Sundance Kid, and coolly consume 50 eggs.

Salsa is, obviously and unequivocally, the best snack in the world. Or rather, half of the best snack in the world; the other half being whatever can be found to dip into it (a chip, a tortilla, a huge spoon, etc.).
