Bill Belichick wins football games, and he makes it clear that he's not looking for affection from the masses. But one comedian has decided it's time Belichick worked on his people skills. Michael Showalter rhymes "Belichick" with "Surly Dick," and he proceeds to knock Belichick around for numerous offenses, such as wearing a "Flashdance sweatshirt" and blowing off Tony Dungy after the Patriots-Colts game. Showalter then launches into a fantasy about what Tony Dungy should...

In between the drama of a pennant race and the pressure cooker of the playoffs, comes a day like today. A day when absolutely nothing is up for grabs. Yesterday the Red Sox won and the Indians lost, guaranteeing the Red Sox the best record in the AL (they'd win a tiebreaker with Cleveland) and Fenway-advantage throughout the postseason. The win yesterday (you might want to sit down) came largely thanks to J.D. Drew, who...

It's not often that an event, by its very existence, gives the lie to two powerful stereotypes about a place. But in a city known for neither its happy hours nor its tacos, Bella Luna's Taco Happy Hour does just that.

We're wondering if Romney asks a higher power to smite his enemies. Rudy Giuliani's campaign stoked Mormon Fear by sending out a release linking the Mormon's candidacy to a weird prophecy about a Mormon riding in on a white horse. During the Republican debate, lightning struck and cut out the sound while Giuliani was speaking. The photo above shows Romney aiming a finger at Giuliani 'cuz he probably thought the Lord was pulling through....

--The metaphorical rain drops may keep on fallin' on the Yankees' heads, but it seems rain clouds really do follow the Red Sox around. Friday night's game in Texas was delayed about two hours because the skies just flat-out refused to clear. The good news? Things eventually got underway and the Sox won, 10-6. The bad? The game didn't end until 1:30 a.m. EST, and those who didn't stay tuned probably turned their televisions off...

Bridie Clark will be reading at the Harvard Coop Thursday, March 8, at 7:00 pm. Bridie Clark is one brave woman. The Harvard alum recently released the chick-lit book Because She Can. It's a Devil Wears Prada-esque tale of a good-hearted but ambitious young woman who falls into the claws of a ruthless exec. The ruthless exec in Bridie Clark's debut novel might seem awfully familiar to book fans. Vivian Grant is the head of...

Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj is the kind of love-it-or-hate-it college movie that will split the population of Boston moviegoers. A large chunk of them - the college students who flow in and out of the universities - will love the beer-soaked parties. The others - namely residents who dread the arrival of said rowdy students - will quake at the prospect of yet another movie that applauds collegiate partying. However, two...

While Bostonist preferred the first gubenatorial debate in which Independent Christy Mihos and Republican Kerry Healey practically got into a knock-down, drag-out catfight, last night's debate at Faneuil Hall followed a more classic debate model, in which the candidates sent out messages that worked on an explicit and a subliminal level. Explicitly, the politicians appeared to focus on the needs of the people. Subliminally, Republican Kerry Healey's reputation as an animatronic aristocrat was sealed....

In a world where there's nothing to do but watch movies. In a city full of theaters, museums, and libraries. One moviegoer who can be in three places at once. Opening Friday 7/7 A Scanner Darkly Waking Life Bostonist is crossing her fingers that Richard Linklater's well-cast and lovingly-animated Philip K. Dick adaptation will strike the right tone of near-future uneasiness (like Bladerunner did) and eschew chase scenes and tacked-on Hollywood endings (like Total Recall...

We’ve been digging out all day. After we held our ground on the second floor yesterday only to find that our exterior door was all but snowed shut when it was time to go to work this morning. A bit of shoveling later we’re turning to warm hearts not cold snow. There's a good week ahead of us, temperatures are due to rise, indoors and out. Dinner reservations are hard to come by for tomorrow, and $54 prix fixe is steep. Bostonist has another plan: grab a bottle of Mad Dog, a paper bag, and hop the T for one of this week’s music agenda shows:
