Roundup: The Oscars Were Dull, Jennifer Lopez Had a Near Wardrobe Malfunction, Joel Zumaya is Already Out For The Season
Oscars. No surprises for the big awards. Billy Crystal gave a retrospective of Billy Crystal doing the Oscars. Kristen Wiig got screwed to not win best original screenplay. Angelina Jolie’s pale, emaciated leg is still jarring. Yes, J-Lo came perilously close to a wardrobe malfunction. Rose Byrne because the pickings were slim, literally, and the Scorcese shot was the funniest moment of the night. If you want us to see more movies, make better ones and charge less.
Non-Oscars. The LA Times is starting a “membership program“, which is clearly not a “paywall.” The Republican Primary shows a party divided. Mitt Romney still wants you to believe he’s a car guy. Santorum wants to break down the boundary between church and state. No biggie. Obama wants kids to go to college. What a snob. Hipster LeBron. Interstellar travel might not be so far off. Happy employees are more creative and productive . More violence in Syria…

A silent movie 90% of america had never heard of before last night winning the biggest awards isn’t a surprise?
I couldn’t even make it through the trailer.

Seriously? No. Artsy fartsy is what the Oscars are all about. What was surprising is how many people still watch these things.
February 27th, 2012 at 8:39 AM
Another Hollywood starlette that gets a ALOT of love from the media, yet she ALWAYS looks like she’s been rode hard and put away wet. Over-rated in my opinion

Can’t agree. Bridesmaids was funny at parts, but too long and the story drove itself off a cliff. I’d put Margin Call or Midnight in Paris ahead of it.
I wish Gary Oldman had won. He put forth another brilliant performance in TTSS. My favorite moment of the night was him and Natalie Portman exchanging sentiments from on stage from when they were in The Professional.
February 27th, 2012 at 8:48 AM
Truly a shame if this is the end of his career. Had so much potential. Even though he was with the Twins, I was rooting for him.
February 27th, 2012 at 8:51 AM
Bridesmaids last 45 minutes was like the end of Wedding Crashers, just replace Kristen Wiig with Owen Wilson.
February 27th, 2012 at 8:52 AM
Michael Shannon in Take Shelter was the best actor of the year and wasn’t even nominated. But yeah, Oldman or Clooney over Dujardin, easily.
I dont think I would have voted for a single person who won last night.
February 27th, 2012 at 8:52 AM
Someone spilled politics and religion in my bowl of roundup.
February 27th, 2012 at 8:53 AM

I’m a nighthawk so I watched my DVR’d Walking Dead after the Oscars ended so if we want to bitch about that shitshow as well I can do that.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:01 AM
Take Shelter wasn’t a period piece or about making movies, and he didn’t wear a costume or play a man with a crippling physical disease. Had no chance. It’s like Sam Rockwell in Moon — best acting performance of that year by a mile. Absolutely no chance of being recognized for it.

That article makes tremendous sense but I didnt laugh once.

Yes. First in a series of devastating arm injuries.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:03 AM
I enjoyed Rick and Shane beating each other senseless like idiots so they could attract as many zombies as they could. And I like that just now, they are figuring out that perhaps to conserve bullets and to be quieter, that maybe they should be stabbing zombie heads instead of shooting all the time? I do hate that blonde chick but man did I enjoy her telling off Lori.

okay so 6 matches x 18 holes, minus the holes he saved by winning early so he played about 100 holes. 35 birdies – that’s a birdie every 3 holes GOOD GOD.

Here’s Jamie Carragher speaking, walking out of an interview after a dick question.
I’m still waiting for the dick question.
Yeah, me too. It’s a legit question for someone who’s 34, which, in football terms is like Jamie Moyer. Look, he was a solid defender in his heyday, but he’s past his prime now, and can’t keep up with the faster players.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:04 AM
2 more days til I can start to spend on some new gear for this year…looking into a driver, some loft wedges and would love to get a bunch of balls on the cheap.

+1. The last 1/2 hr of Bridesmaids ruined, what was up to that point, a pretty good comedy.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:07 AM
A million times this! I hate Lori.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:07 AM
Played 18 on Friday and Sunday and holy shit do I suck. I practice my face off all winter on swing changes in the house, and as soon as I get over a ball all the old bad habits immediately show up.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — A Zimbabwe man is in hospital after a crocodile bit off his testicles and part of his penis as he tried to cross a flooded river, pants-less and carrying box of tomatoes on his head. Jonah Maturure, 70, from Marutaya village in Gutu, said he was crossing the Chivake River, swollen from recent heavy rains, with tomatoes for sale when the crocodile attacked him
Well, dude was 70. Hope he got some mileage out of those balls. It’d been more tragic if it was man cut down in his prime.

I played my first round at my new club yesterday. I think I had 2 pars over 18. I also hit into a group that was on the tee next to our green. and when I say hit into them, I mean a guy was sitting in his cart waiting for the tee and I pushed a 200 yard 5-iron into the seat of his cart, on the fly. he wasn’t too pleased. oops, good first impression.

February 27th, 2012 at 9:13 AM
That part I could understand. They had a lot of crap built up between each other. What I don’t get is Rick saving Shane. I guess it is just Rick’s character to be a non-survivalist idiot. Should have left the dude impaled on the fence, should have left Shane in the bus. It is obvious Shane wants to take Rick out, but he brings him back. He deserves to die, but for the sake of story he will live everytime.
Finally some real talk in camp. Every word Andrea said was true, but it’s funny she tells Shane last episode that he needs to work on his delivery for giving truth and then she gets herself ostracized from the house.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:13 AM
I almost turned off The Walking Dead at the beginning when it was another Shane and Grimes bitchfest. Kept watching and the ending was such a mess I’m not sure I can keep watching it just to bitch on Monday mornings. That ending. So bad.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:14 AM
Perhaps the most “this guy is a traumatic arm injury waiting to happen” delivery of all time.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:15 AM
I know a great way to find out if she wants to live: Let her kill herself and fail.
Prove she’s not a witch by drowning her!
February 27th, 2012 at 9:15 AM
I guess what we were supposed to gather is that when Rick was looking down at the 2 uniformed zombies that they killed, it reminded him that him and Shane were partners. Or something

This is how I picture many of you…
I do love me some Firehouse subs.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:16 AM
It’s been made clear that the rest of the season will center around the farm. So many fucking episodes at this farm. I like how they think we give a shit about a girl wanting to commit suicide or even Carl getting shot in the first place. It’s zombie apocalypse ffs. And we are not watching for the touching human stories, anyone watching for that has left already because of the horrible dialogue and bad acting. We just want zombies, and killing, and intense action.

Can someone please teach duffy how to make a link that will open in a new window like every other writer on this site?

Anyone else have the theory that Santorum is purposefully throwing away the nomination? I mean I can’t help but feel like he is ruining his campaign but doing it in a manner that doesn’t look like he is throwing it away.

It was not reported if his beefsteak variety was injured.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:19 AM
And immediately forget that he fucked his wife and wants to get back with her and take over his role and that he threw a fucking huge wrench at his head.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:19 AM
No – he’s just that much of a moron and how he’s even in the running is beyond comprehension, particularly for PA residents.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
Lori is a fucking snatch. That was a great scene. Just put a bullet in that fucking “hostage” and get it over with.
On the bright side, we’ve basically got a month until Game of Thrones, so Sundays will be saved.
/doesn’t watch Mad Men
February 27th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
“I talked to (Raines) about a strategy,” Santorum said on the show. “I recommended he stay back in the pack, you know, hang back there until the right time, and then bolt to the front when it really counts. So let’s watch. I’m hoping that for the first, you know, maybe 300, 400 miles, he’s sitting way, way back, letting all the other folks crash and burn, and then sneak up at the end and win this thing.”
cue Raines wanting to kill himself.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:22 AM
That is what I figured too. I love that Rick is so angry with Shane, but seems to completely over look the fact that his wife immediately jumped into bed with his best friend.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:22 AM
These WD complaints are hilarious, and why I threw in the towel a year ago. They’re on the farm because the show got its budget slashed. Now, the shitty writing and pacing is 100 percent on the writing staff. But the show doesn’t have the money to be what it should because it has to subsidize better, poorly rated shows like Mad Men and Breaking Bad.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
Yeah, I didn’t get that part where they were talking about the scratches instead of bites shit.
I looked at the Wiki page for the comics to see where the story is going. I can’t promise that the decision making process gets much better….if they stay according to the comics. On the bright side, looks like certain characters meet their demise that will make everyone happy.

I really think just making it a run for your life zombiefest would not be any more of a cost than the current format. It also takes the ease off dialogue if you have the characters fighting zombies at every turn.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:25 AM
Two things:
1) Everyone keeps saying the Oscars are dull. Has there ever been an awards show that wasn’t? What do you want?
2) When you said Layla Kiffen sealed the deal for Tee Martin, I thought it meant something else entirely.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:26 AM
And we are not watching for the touching human stories, anyone watching for that has left already because of the horrible dialogue and bad acting. We just want zombies, and killing, and intense action
What makes it worse is that I bought and plowed through World War Z on Saturday afternoon from cover to cover. There really isn’t any character development in that either, but at least it’s entertaining and doesn’t take place on some farm that has an invisible zombie perimeter around it.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:27 AM

Meh.. for as much as I think the guy is a nut, I’ll give him credit for taking a hard line stance on what his beliefs are and not just flip flopping and saying whatever he thinks people want to hear to get him elected.

I quit watching WD this season, and based on everything I’m reading here, it sounds like it’s 99% horrible talking scenes with all the annoying characters and 1% zombie action. By the end of their last hiatus I was fast forwarding through every scene involving extended dialogue so I think I made the right choice in bailing.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:33 AM

I was watching the beginning with my wife and I threw out “I think see a shade of areola there.” She slapped me and told me I was no longer allowed to watch any more “Big Bang Theory” episodes.

February 27th, 2012 at 9:39 AM
Nobody gives an interview like Jamie Carragher. His calling into a radio show that was talking shit about him was one of the best. Also nobody speaks worse English as a native speaker than him.

Up to the airplane scene, it’s really good. After that then it goes downhill fast a la Wedding Crashers.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:43 AM
I enjoyed it. The fat chick holds it together. Wiig really isn’t that funny. Chris O’Dowd is really funny, but he’s good in a lot of things.
I don’t think it’s a female version of The Hangover. It’s a female version of I Love You Man.
Also it’s not groundbreaking. Laverne and Shirley?
February 27th, 2012 at 9:43 AM

Random thought…why is it OK to show most of a woman’s breast on TV, as long as the nipple is hidden? Why doesn’t it work the other way – show the nipple but hide the rest of the boob? What is it about the nipple?

Checked out that Carl’s Golfland site someone mentioned above….looks pretty solid. Buying brand new golf clubs has never made sense to me. Just wait until new models are released and buy the model that’s a year old (but still brand new) for a fraction of the price.

I’ll take it a bit further.. why isn’t acceptable for women to go topless? If men can, they should be able to if they want. Boobs aren’t genitalia. It’s not like bikini’s leave much to the imagination anyway.

Perhaps Santorum was a bit “inartful” in his word choice. However, not everyone needs to go to college. More specifically, not everyone needs to go into thousands of dollars in debt to get a useless Liberal Arts degree in English or Poly Sci while simultaneously creating the next credit bubble.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:49 AM

Uhhh…you serious, Clark? That movie had some funny scenes and all but the whole lot of them should feel lucky just to have been nominated.

Having dead fascists host the Oscars is the only way I would watch.

As well you should.

Franco was certainly higher.

Thought Clooney got robbed. Saw the descendants last week, and while I thought it was just a so-so movie.. he played a guy who was kind of a dope and not in control of his life and pulled it off pretty well. There wasn’t any of the “I’m Clooney, ergo, I’m fucking awesome” in it at all.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:00 AM
Ya think? My mind is BLOWN.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:02 AM
Also… Clooney’s older daughter in that movie… smokeshow. Incredible body on her.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:02 AM
So what did he win an oscar for?
February 27th, 2012 at 10:03 AM
Ken Jeong as King Argotron was great. He never fails to crack me up.

Been on this bandwagon for awhile. There’s alot more room on that bandwagon too. Who else belongs on there???
February 27th, 2012 at 10:04 AM
Nevermind

Speaking of movies, I watched Bad Teacher this weekend.
Not a good decision on my part.

The world need ditch-diggers too.

I am stunned that there hasn’t been any mention of Stacy Kiebler or that her pic from the Oscars was not the roundup pic. She had the most camera time of any non-nominee last night. Sure, she was with George Clooney but there’s no question the camera was centered on her every time because she looked, well, like she always does.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:08 AM
she looks like skeletor. gross.

Thanks, I have it free On Demand and have scrolled past it several times wondering if i should click on it. Now I know.

Roeth -
I just saw this. I worked at Carl’s throughout high school. It’s the best golf shop in Michigan hands down. I buy all of my golf stuff from their retail store. Great place.

There’s a funny moment or two, but most of it felt super forced. Glad I could save you an hour and a half of your life.

I don’t watch many movies, and my GF came home with that one a month or so ago. fucking awful. there is nothing redeeming about Cameron Diaz.

Another one to add to my bandwagon of Over-Rated, Super-Hyped, Hollywood Starlettes.

Adapted screenplay for The Descendants. Him and two others.

She killed it, no question.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:26 AM
No mentions of how gorgeous Natalie Portman looked? She’s skinny, but not Angelina Jolie starving herself skinny.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:37 AM
Natalie Portman in Beautiful Girls > Natalie Portman in Leon.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:40 AM
You’re talking about acting right? I hope…..
February 27th, 2012 at 10:42 AM
No. No I am not.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:44 AM
I watched most of the grammys and approximately 34% of it was interesting.
Eh, everyone has a Grammy, so there’s no prestige to them.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:48 AM
Oh dear.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:51 AM
Though actually that would still hold true. She’s the worst actor in Leon. Beautiful Girls is actually a pretty damn good movie.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:55 AM

I don’t care about the award – I care about the level of entertainment created at the event.
February 27th, 2012 at 11:30 AM
Noting that Natalie Portman looked good is like noting that Blake Griffin dunked.
February 28th, 2012 at 9:28 AM

The entertainment would be to lighten up; let the jokes fly. We need more Chris Rock. I would’ve loved to see George Carlin host when he was alive. Man that would’ve been great.
Other than that, it’s handing out awards. Not an entertaining thing in and of itself, IMO.

Otis Redding. Hell, yeah.
Twenty-seven when he died. Sounded like a guy who had seen a whole lot more that his years would suggest. One of the true all-time greats. That song is a killer.

This is how I picture many of you…
Dang. That’s just wrong, man.
