We’re a week out from The Wrestler being shafted for Best Original Song this year - hell, it wasn’t even nominated, which is bullshit.  It got me thinking though - where have the awesome original songs gone?  I’m not talking about songs that are loosely written about the film or ...

Looking for Comedy in the Consumer World …  photo credit: faeryboots Bring back my Tropicana! First, those smarties at Tropicana figured out that their fresh, hip new package design in a word, SUCKED. Consumers, in all their wisdom, loathed the new look and rightfully so. (Remember, I called ...
