This weekend's Hollywood blockbuster openings are even more depressing than usual, with an ancient Stallone (looking like "an overcooked Ball Park frank," according to E), a cybercrime flick, and a take on a decade-old SNL skit "leading" the pack. Rambo, Untraceable, and Meet the Spartans (which currently has a negative rating at Rotten Tomatoes, something we haven't seen very often, if ever!) will open this weekend, most likely to some box office clamor despite the......

Apologies for the lateness of this one. --New skinny font at T stops. And someone who works for the MBTA didn't look up the street names before sending the sign text to the printer. Gah! [b0st0n LiveJournal--with pictures] --The South End Is Over chimes in on the Globe's recent piece on gentrification and sends a crystal-clear message to anyone who bitches about the homeless in the South End: "As I have mentioned on this blog......

The nicer the weather gets, the busier we get across the Ist-A-Verse. But we like being busy. Here's a peek at what we've been up to since last week! Chicagoist had an interview with Audrey Niffenegger, whose popular book, The Time Traveler's Wife, was based in their fine city. They also had a heated discussion about Rush Limbaugh's controversial Barack Obama parody, talked about whether Uncle Julio's Hacienda is a good place to get......

Okay, everyone, today's the day when we find out if all the ruckus caused by the Aqua Teen Hunger Force lite brites was worth it. Will the "guerrilla marketing" campaign devised by Interference Inc. and the media's subsequent coverage of the bag of fries, shake, and "meat wad" actually bring people to theaters? We'll see. If the critics' reaction is any judge, don't bet on it. We haven't seen it yet, although we are......

We recently received e-mails proudly announcing the impending arrival of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters on April 13. Even if you didn't notice the - ahem - little problem promotions for the ATHF movie caused in Boston, and even if you've never heard of ATHF, the movie sounds like fun, and the full-length cartoon features the voices of Bruce Campbell and Neil Peart of Rush. But, in our rush to......

Looks like we might have our very own case of Super Troopers in Boston. The Globe reported that 10 officers working in the Boston Police Department's drug warehouse have been transferred because someone among them may have been chipping off confiscated stashes. Captain Frank Armstrong, evidence management commander, ordered an investigation after an audit revealed drugs were missing back in August. Investigators kept taking stock of the drugs and found amounts missing. In their......

Everybody holla pre-nup. AOL is digging for gold in the suburbs with hopes of recovering some of the money they're owed. They're not searching for back service fees, rather they're going after any part of the nearly $13 million they were awarded in a judgment against Davis Hawke. A suburban native, Hawke was unsuccessful in his attempt to make it big in southern hate groups (they found out his father was Jewish) and turned instead......

Last year Bloc Party headlined at the Paradise – this year it was the Bank of America Pavilion. What the hell happened? Did they release something new? Nope. Then what? Oh… MTV2 happened. OK, fair enough. They now have a large enough audience to (sort of) fill the Pavilion, but do they have a large enough set list? Objectively, no, not really. Bloc Party released its first (and so far, only) album, Silent Alarm, over......

The list is out and it's been making waves from Best Week Ever to Regis & Kelly. The Phoenix’s 100 Unsexiest Men list named Gilbert Gottfried tops, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing for him. Gottfried gets the nod for being, well, Gilbert Gottfried – has anyone ever cast him as a sex symbol? All sorts of press attention have come out of the list, and he’s almost always included in the article as holding......
