-- Would people actually dress up to watch the "Mad Men" season premiere? [rb]

WGA Strike Support Rally Friday, December 14, 12:00 pm-3:00 pm Harvard Square Fans4writers.com Update: Bradley's Almanac just gave us a heads-up--the WGA East announced "Please RSVP to 212-767-7843 and leave the number of people in your party" if you plan to attend the event at the church. By now, we're all sick of the writers' strike, and Bostonist HQ is suffering from MCRW (Major Colbert Report Withdrawal). Rest assured, the writers are even sicker of...

Unusually quiet on the local sports scene yesterday. Sure, the World Champion Red Sox dispersed to the talk show circuit. At various times last night, and for the next few days, you can see members of the hometown team doing walkons with Letterman, Leno, O'Brien, "The Daily Show", "Nightline", "The NFL Today", "Thomas the Tank Engine", "The Iron Chef", "CSI: Miami", and "Deadliest Catch". Check your local listings. But in terms of actual, on-the-field, recappable...

If ever there was grist for the Daily Show mill, it is the fight between the richies and the environmentalists over the proposed wind farm in Nantucket Sound. Finally, the Daily Show has aimed its laserlike focus on the Cape, and the results are tentatively scheduled to air Thursday, August 2. The Daily Show selected Jason Jones, the correspondent most likely to take his shirt off, to send to the Cape. Brace yourselves for shots...

According to Massachusetts is so blue that you can't tell if it's blue or black. We're not really sure what exactly that means. The Daily Show recapped the Republican debate and provided no fewer than three segments to dig into Mitt Romney. Perhaps it's a sign that the statesman from Massachusetts (and Utah, and Michigan, and…) is a front runner worthy of ridicule. But perhaps it's what we've known for a while: it's the little...

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...

Justin Long as Mac, John Hodgman as PC. The serial ads illuminating why the Mac is so much hipper than the PC have left many with mixed feelings about their preferred platform. Hodgman is hilarious, no matter if his platform is books, the Daily Show, or comedy tours. It's hard not to like him, even if Apple Computer, Inc. wants to play him off as the bad guy who's prone to virus infection and poor...

This has been a rough week for your -ist pals, though you wouldn't know it from the great posts all over the network. Plagued with server problems, our tech team (led by the great Neil Epstein) toiled around the clock to solve the glitches as they arose. Seriously, we've said, typed, and thought the phrase "server problems" more in the past week than we have for the last 35 years combined. Why not say it...

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. This week, Boston's movie theaters offer a variety of giant monsters (fire-breathing turtles, radioactive lizards, skyscraper-climbing apes), smaller monsters (teenagers on myspace, paintball enthusiasts), and a terrifying alternate universe where everyone sings with R. Kelly's voice. Wednesday 4/26 King Kong & Godzilla Triple Feature A...

Like most people, we start to get a little sleepy when politicians start talking. We tend to doze off completely when politicians start talking about their books. And we just pass out cold when politicians start talking about a book that has "America" in the title. So we really can't recall much of what Ted Kennedy had to say about his book "America: Back on Track" last night on "The Daily Show". Usually we skip...

Bostonist's going to see the movies about four-letter words and zombies, but we urge you to check out the rest of Boston International Film Festival, which offers samurai, crossword puzzles, giant Buddhas, and Pixies. Wednesday 4/19 Lost in Translation The Harvard Film Archive follows up Maggie Chung & Tony Leung's gorgeous, heartbreaking non-affair in Hong Kong with Scarlett Johansen & Bill Murray's equally beautiful, equally heartbreaking non-affair in Tokyo. But we might just stay home...

Do you want to meet The Daily Show's Rob Corddry? (Like Bostonist and Abigal Adams, a native of Weymouth, MA!) Because he's going to be at The Somerville Theater on Friday night along with Brant Serensen, Darren Goldberg, and the ever-funny DJ Hazard promoting their festival film Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story. It features Upright Citizens Brigade members and paintball. That's just one of the options that you, gentle reader, have at the Independent Film...

The Daily Show on Comedy Central provides even the media with a breath of fresh air. Just because Jon Stewart is attributed as part of the reason CNN canned Tucker and Crossfire does not make a fake news show real. We trust Ed Helms to bring us the fake news and were truly inspired when we saw him balls out running around Gothamist’s turf wearing a maple leaf on his chest. Thankfully WHDH refrained...
