So I watched A Serious Man last night, fully expecting to like it. And I mean obviously it was well done, and clever, and it’s the Coen Brothers, and I usually like what they do, and you all know I like a good dark comedy. But it was seriously (pun intended) depressing, and the ending was both depressing and abrupt. And but so what I’m wondering is:

Am I just not Jewish enough to really get the movie?

Anyone out there want to chime in and help me out on this one? Kthx.

‘Kick-Ass’ star, 19, engaged to 43-year-old was the headline. Now I’m not one to look down my nose at older women scooping up younger men. The double standard of older men and young women has been in place far too long.

But dude… you really could do better. It’s one thing for a young guy to hook up with Demi Moore… but really? She’s more than twice your age, and has a daughter 6 years younger than you.

Just creepy no matter how you look at it.

I’m clearly a little off my game. A famous Hollywood icon¹ passes, and it takes me a full nine days to realize that it’s a chance to run one of my favorite skits. Ah well, at least I did eventually think of it.

So, without further ado, let’s all gather ’round and let the boys on the Satellite of Love serenade us with a rendition of Let’s Have a Patrick Swayze Christmas, inspired by Crow’s favorite movie: Roadhouse. Call me crazy, but this may just be the Swayziest Christmas of them all.

P.S. Yes, I know it is a little early for Christmas music, but what the hey.

Those of you who know me, know that I’m a big fan of movie director Christopher Nolan. The Prestige is one of the first two or three movies that come to mind when people ask me What’s your favorite movie?, and both Memento and even The Dark Knight would come close to placing Top 10. So the fact that Nolan is now working on a new sci-fi mind bender of a movie is big big news to me. Read on past the break for the first trailer.
