Week in Review: The 'Twilight' Edition

A lot of bad is going on in the world... can we find any good?


Another week, another recap, and while this week wasn't superhero dominated that doesn't mean it wasn't interesting.

First off, Barack Obama all but sealed the Democratic nomination even though polls show Hillary Clinton is probably going to runaway with West Virginia. Meanwhile the death toll in Burma may actually reach a half-million people? Okay, that's sad, but is it as sad as the damn junta seizing aid supplies? Do you wonder why Stallone set Rambo there now?

Want more horror stories? Try a 37-year-old man raping a 10-year-old who just gave birth! Judge all you like, but don't forget to hold something against this vice principal who made a few Hispanic kids eat lunch on the floor. Is that offensive? Well how about the Zohan?

Of course the biggest movie related news, on top of Iron Man making $18 bagillion worldwide had to be the official unveiling of the G.I. Joe characters. Too bad the blogosphere seems to hate them.

Then we have Jenna Bush getting married, but that is getting trumped by Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon getting hitched and tattered. Is that bigger news than knowing that Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are engaged? Speaking of the Bush clan, Entertainment Weekly spread their legs for the new film and gave us a few scant details.

Hmmmm, what else is there? What Happens in Vegas sucks, and here is a list of critics that liked it and you should now be wary of their opinions forever more.

I added more pics from Hancock. I brought you the look at the Cloverfield monster's water landing. Ahhhh snap! Almost forgot about TWILIGHT!

Not only did I do a spread on Twilight, but we also got the trailer and the poster this week. If you don't know what this thing is you better get aboard or you will be hunted down by the TwilightMOMS!

I leave you with my main man, Charles Barkley:

I'm A Dumbass

Hey, we're right, you're wrong. LOL. But what else can I expect from someone who thinks Barkley -- who did nothing whatsoever for my beloved Houston Rockets -- is cool.

You don't like Barkley?!?!? Oh man, now we have a war. Smile Even when Barkley said he wasn't a role model he was my role model, all the way through my days of college hoops. I love that guy. Talk about a personality!

Plus, how can you not love his epic supporting role in Space Jam, or his lovable PSAs at the end of each episode of "Clerks:The Series"? :D

Yeah, but he was a total under-achiever while he was in Rocket uniform. And then, later, as a TNT commentator, he shat all over Yao Ming during the Amazing Asian’s first NBA season. Screw him.
Of course, he did do a neat Old Spice commercial once.

I'm kind of partial to those T-Mobile commercials myself.
