The Worst Film Student Ever Does The Oscars
I want to watch Midnight in Paris and The Descendants over spring break. Maybe Hugo, too. I still don’t care about The Artist, but good for them and viva la France or whatever Jean Valwhatever shouted at the end of his acceptance speech.

3. Nick and Taylor’s Million Dollar Cook-Off (spin-off of the Nick and Taylor’s Infinite...

Leslie: Dave, why would you tell me that here? Now?
Dave: ...because it's accurate.
Stefan: Awful lot of effort for someone who pretends not to care about her anymore.
Damon: Pot, kettle, brother.

State of the Union
First episode of Speechless is officially uploaded and digitally delivered and whatnot, to air this Monday. I might have to dip into my Valentine’s Day stash of 5 Hour Energies to survive this weekend, but it’s going to be a wonderful one regardless.
