Something scary happened while I was waiting in line outside Madison's. My friend Erik just started bouncing at Madison's, so a couple friends and I decided to check it out.
Before I wrote all of my Oscar columns, I felt a responsibility to my readers to see each and every film I wrote about. Although I ended up short of my goal (who wants to watch The Reader"" anyway?), I still managed to watch most of the major contenders, and was able to make an educated commentary on each of them.
Saturday Night Live alum and star of movies like ""Fever Pitch"" and ""Taxi,"" Jimmy Fallon made his debut as a late-night talk show host Monday on NBC. Although some mourned the loss of Conan O'Brien, previous king of late night, I welcomed a new face to the talk show scene.
Robin Hood the Socialist. How many times this week has this phrase been uttered by conservative pundits in response to President Barack Obama's proposed budget plan? If Rush Limbaugh's nightly prayers are answered, Obama's proposed budget might just be headed for failure.
""Hush' cries identity crisis: New York City pop band Asobi Seksu draws on conventional traits from shoegaze and dream-pop genres, promising a contemporary experience that opens up to listeners by creating space sonically and using heavy distortion.
Asobi Seksu's new album Hush turns away from the band's previously moody, shoegaze aesthetic, in favor of a more vocally oriented pop sound.

This Saturday and Sunday the Union Theatre played host to The Vagina Monologues,"" a play by Eve Ensler. The participants stage benefit performances of the show worldwide each year between Feb. 1 and March 31. The play is also the cornerstone of Ensler's ""V-Day"" movement. The V stands for Valentine, Vagina and Victory, and is ""a global movement to stop violence against women and girls."" I had heard of ""The Vagina Monologues"" before, and naively thought them to be a play about orgasms and vaginas. What I came to learn is the author, the play and the cause are much more incredible than a mere orgasm, though there is a whole monologue devoted to just that (my personal favorite was the unexpected triple orgasm).
Parkas and mittens are a far cry from the usual sunglasses and Birkenstocks usually worn at the Farmers' Market, but when the weather turns frigid Madison moves indoors to buy and support local producers and businesses. Although nothing can compare to the celebrity of the Dane County Farmers' Market on the Capitol Square during the summer months, its indoor version at the Madison Senior Center on West Mifflin has its own enticing products and events to enjoy Saturday mornings from 8 a.m. until noon.
Keepin' It Real On Valentine's Day
Like most of you, I have to hustle on the side to pay to keep my babies' mommas quiet. There are five of them, so the fake ID business I run out of Love Shack and my slanging of crack rock don't cover all the bills. My career advisor told me it's an awful time to enter the legitimate side of business, with the economy and everything,"" but I told her I had no other option. I got baby daughters to feed, Gail, and payments on my Kymco, bitch. So I had to find another way.
At the age of 22, I can't even imagine what it would be like to settle down with a family. I already have friends who are engaged, some who are married and a few who have children. There is nothing wrong with that; in fact, I actually admire them for being ready to start a family and being able to care for somebody other than themselves.
Laden with melodrama and stereotypes, He's Just Not That Into You"" attempts to piece together several clichéd situations while trying to prove the point that women sympathetically, or perhaps narcissistically, overanalyze their relationships, in the recent movie adaptation of the best-selling book. A husband cheats on his wife, a girl doesn't receive a call from her date, a woman is called the wrong name at an inopportune moment ... all initially receive the same prescription, revealed by the movie's title.
The Reader,"" directed by Stephen Daldry (""The Hours"") and starring Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes, was one of this season's biggest question marks at the Oscar nominations. Although Winslet's performance makes her a frontrunner for the year's best actress award, a general outcry resulted from the film's best picture nomination, a slot many feel should have gone to ""Revolutionary Road,"" ""Wall-E"" or ""The Dark Knight."" The complaint: The Academy once again fell for the Oscar-baiting Holocaust film.
My place in the family birth order fated me for rebellion, first against pants and hot dishes, then against the Machine and people's basic tenets of belief. I came to college ready to rail against the received doctrine. I staked my soul to that fire-licked pole, prepared to denounce the dogma of the day, whatever it happened to be. I mounted the pulpit of the blasphemer, ready to shock your tame souls with the spit of Satan, but just as I neared the top I did that thing where you think the steps keep going so you take another step up, but really you're already at the top and you end up slamming your foot down really hard at the same level. When it comes to convictions in an age where T.I. says you can do whatever you like, no one gives a crap what you do. It's hard being a heretic when no one's got the balls to believe in things anymore.
For the past few years, reality television shows have flourished on cable networks. VH1 in particular has had some over-the-top shows, like Flavor of Love"" and ""Celebrity Fit Club."" This summer, however, VH1 will be even more ridiculous, with a new show featuring Dallas Cowboy wide receiver Terrell Owens.
In response to In times of economic struggle, Americans must remember the spirit of giving"" by Joseph Koss:
There will be blood. That much is certain. But not as much as other \Sweeney Todd"" productions, and a far cry from Tim Burton's gore-addled film adaptation.
Critics like to talk a lot about rock 'n' roll revivalists. Ideally, a rock band breaks through and provides a breath of fresh air to popular music. They lead a mass of followers on a march towards musical salvation and unity through good music. It quickly becomes a delicate balance between maintaining popularity and credibility, and that's ultimately what rock 'n' roll is all about. Then there's Titus Andronicus.
