By now most of you all have seen Jim Carrey’s love letter to Emma Stone. Creepy, right? At first we were hopeful that he was just introducing a new character, the earnest old guy talking about a girl not quite half his age. Perhaps everybody needs to lay off Jim…
Literati rejoice! After previously experimenting in the written word through their various memoirs, Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian have picked November 1st as the release date for their debut novel, Dollhouse. What can we expect? A Picaresque satire? Existential fiction in the style of Sartre? No matter what genre the…
August is half over, and while usually this means we get a little melancholic about the end of summer, it’s always comforting to know that the fall TV season is just around the corner. No show is getting more buzz than NBC’s The Playboy Club, a ’60s look back at…
The tech world is ablaze with rumors about Apple’s soon-to-be-unveiled iPhone 5. What kind of new features will it have? Will it be available in late September or early October? Will your battery be dead by 5 p.m. every day because all you do is play Words With Friends at…
Discovery Channel’s Shark Week, everybody’s favorite midsummer TV party, began its yearly run last night, and we couldn’t be more excited. For one week, the majestic and vicious kings of the ocean give us a much-needed break from the reruns that usually dominate the August airwaves. What could be better?…

By now you’ve probably heard the heartwarming story of Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake agreeing to accompany soldiers to the Marine Corps Ball, a decision undoubtedly made due to Mr. Timberlake and Ms. Kunis being wonderful people and certainly not because they are trying to drum up publicity for their…
It was with eager anticipation last week that Google quietly rolled out its new Google+ social network. Currently in exclusive invitation-only mode, Google+ is limited to approximately everybody on the Internet. There is plenty of speculation with the launch of Google+ about whether it can be a “Facebook killer” with…
The “dog days” of summer is a period of time from July to September marked as the hottest, most humid time of the year. It’s name is derived from the ancient Roman practice of sacrificing a dog to appease the weather gods. But just because it’s warming up in Miami…
While Transformers 3: Dumbass Subtitle rocketed its way to the number one box office spot this holiday weekend, we were less than enthused with the film. The solution seems clear as day to us: quit it with the lame robots. And since we clearly have the ear of Mister Michael…
Every year thousand of horny, scantily clad denizens flock to Miami to indulge in their preferred brand of debauchery. “But Cultist,” you say, “Exxxotica Expo already happened this year.” To which we reply with a scoff at your naïveté. We aren’t talking about some porn convention. We’re talking Florida Supercon,…
Let’s here it for the Fourth of July! Not only is it our country’s birthday (still looking great at 235 years old), but it is perhaps the best holiday for partying while the sun is up. Nothing beats rounding up your posse for a day of hanging out, good company,…
We have been shaking in anticipation of Reggie Watts’s performance at the Light Box at Goldman Warehouse this Thursday and Friday. Intersecting the worlds of music and comedy, Watts is truly unlike any “musical comedian” who has come before him. Using his loop petal, Watts completely improvises every performance brilliantly,…
We are thankful that pornography has reached a certain degree of mainstream acceptance. When we circulate links to our favorite scenes to our friends we are met with appreciation as opposed to derision. Starring in a porn video can be someone’s first step into celebrity, or at least fast track…
We’re still basking in the awesome afterglow of Borscht 7. Perhaps one of the smartest moves the Borscht crew made that night was starting the show with Piratas, Julian Rodriguez’s film about his beloved boat nearly being stolen by canal pirates.The film, which includes Julian running down the streets in…
You may not immediately recognize hip-hop as something to be deconstructed using classical poetic analysis, but Adam Bradley, editor of Yale Anthology of Rap alongside Andrew DuBois, argues that you may want to start counting meter next time the new Nicki Minaj single comes on the radio. The Anthology is…
Most of us might have spent our extracurricular time in high school trying to get laid, drinking cough syrup, or arguing with our friends about what attributes would best compose a kick-ass robot. That’s why we’re particularly excited about Bots High, Joey Daoud’s feature length documentary. The doc follows a…
The initial impression of the World Premier of Billy Corben and rakontur’s new documentary Square Grouper, a chronicle of South Florida marijuana smugglers in the 70’s and 80’s, was that attendance was a bit sparse. Clearly Austin hasn’t heard whom Billy is rolling with these days. Corben himself joked during…
We’re always glad to see another publications enter the online domain, especially if they’re local and humor based. Which is precisely why we are so pleased that a cult newspaper that rocked Miami high schools, Misplaced Humor, has revived itself as a website. The founders of the paper, Sebastian Abella…
IBM’s Jeopardy! playing super computer Watson has had us glued to the TV screen the past few evenings. We are drawn out of curiosity: we wanted to see if human contestants can beat a computer and if this is what finally pushes Jeopardy past the Wheel of Fortune in the…
We’re big fans of local filmmaker Andrew Hevia and his affiliated projects, whether it’s his raunchy web series The Adventures of a Sexual Miscreant or his work as one of the impresarios behind the increasingly influential Borscht Film Festival. So when the South By Southwest Film Festival announced it’s slate…
