New York Knicks Say "C" You Later Stephon Marbury

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

The Really: The New York Knicks have really ended the Stephon Marbury drama. It only took 2 years!

Academy Gets It Right

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

The Really: So much of the awards show got it right that it would be a shame to nitpick too much. It felt like the pros were in charge. Jackman was great and his opening number was a hilariously complete instant classic. But because Sean Penn deservedly won for Milk we did not get to [...]

Oscar Rehearsal Footage

Friday, February 20th, 2009

The Really: Nikki Finke says this is real… Hugh Jackman is hosting the Oscars. Yeah, is a Wolverine but he is a Broadway type and has hosted the Tonys a couple of times. The top hat and cane stuff looks pretty old school but look at the guns on that guy.

President Obama’s First International Trip

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

The Really: The President’s first foreign trip is…Canada? Don’t get us wrong, we love the Canadians; we can see them from here! But they eat poutine and they are on the way to Alaska so… But that Ice Road Truckers is one cool show. Oh, and their national anthem is THE BEST, bar none.

Oscar Parties: Have Fun But Not Too Much Fun

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

The Really: No Vanity Fair party at Morton’s? The word is the Hollywood parties are being notched back so as to not look like a CEO flying in on a newly purchased corporate jet to ask for a handout. Fine. But isn’t the larger problem the awards ceremony itself? Will it pull viewers because no [...]
