Pop Culture Round Up: August 30 - September 5

I know these are supposed to be "touchstones," but does anyone find this list a little meh? Incidentally, the word touchstone makes me think of Winona Ryder calling Ethan Hawke her touchstone in Reality Bites, which, in turn, makes me giggle because she's calling him that to her Psychic Friend.

Criticism in crisis continues: Christian Science Monitor worries over music critics losing their clout.

Why are people in the Guardian weirdly obsessed with product placement?

Why must they take our fun away from us so soon?

If for nothing else, check out the drawing of a brain walking a dog.

"These images turn The Red Shoes into what we might call a study of the psychopathology of ballet."

First Julia Child and now Roald Dahl? Excitement!

"It’s undeniably U2 in the very best way." Well, in that case.

Aw, he's a Food Network junkie, too!

When I think "particle accelerator," I think "exceptional grand cru."

Perhaps Lauren and Peter should consider the possibility that a lot of movies suck.

It is one of my favourite cameos.

I think I'd never see any movies if I stuck by the Bechdel Rule. Prey for Rock & Roll would make the cut.

Okay, so the new one kind of sucks, but it's still fun to read these reflections.

Definitely dead, apparently. Sorry, Sean!

I may have gotten a little goosebumpy watching this.

Not only did I notice that change during the The Women trailer, but, as a curly haired girl, I have wondered about that for years.

17 complaints? Are people in Britain really bored?

"We have practically no reason to believe that Ghostbusters 3 won't be the greatest movie of all time."

This post is kind of stupidly written, but who cares? Greatest crossover ever!

"We have never even thought about Mother Bass." Really? She's the one not-yet-seen character I most want to meet!
