It Starts With an F, That's All I'm Saying: Big Easy gets hung up on a word that begins with F, which brings to mind any number of other words that start with the same letter.

Buzz Gift Guide: Pleasing the Music Snob

They've been listening to bands you've never heard of for years, insist vinyl's the best, and are busy most evenings going to shows. What do you buy the discerning music lovers in your life for the holidays?

Feed their need with a hip new album and a cute music book or tease them with a cheeky mouse pad. And they'll always appreciate a carrying case for all their favorite albums (on vinyl, of course).

And if you need more present ideas, check out my other holiday gift guides!

Whoopi Goldberg says she's "bored" with the Tiger
Woods story

post from TV Squad on 04 December 2009 03:00:00 PM. © TV Squad

I often find Barbara Walters to ramble a little too much on The View, but she was absolutely right in what she said to Whoopi Goldberg the other day. Whoopi faked walking off the show because the panel was talking about the Tiger Woods controversy, saying she was "bored" with it (followed of course by clapping from the audience) and that what happened with Woods "doesn't put food on my table." Walters had an answer for that.

Whoopi, it's called "Hot Topics" for a reason.

Jersey Shore: Series Premiere - open thread

post from TV Squad on 04 December 2009 02:36:00 PM. © TV Squad

Joel already posted about the controversy surrounding the new MTV reality show Jersey Shore. Is it insulting to Italians? To people who live in New Jersey? To anyone with good taste? I think I'm more offended that we have yet another lame show about young people living in a house (though the use of the word "Guido" is bizarre to me - I'm from a huge Italian family and I've never heard anyone use that term - and equating being Italian with tanning and the use of hair gel).

It premiered last night. What did you think? Here's the episode if you missed it.

Everybody's Fine: No They're Not

How cute is Robert De Niro in the trailer for Everybody's Fine? It's a rare treat to see the actor actor cuddling babies and lugging his suitcase around the country to visit his lovely but overly busy children. If only the movie were like that. It's the holidays, and I was kind of expecting to get a heartwarming family drama that reinforces how important relationships are, despite distance. That's not the case.

Everybody's Fine is a family drama, but with a series of depressing moments one after the other. De Niro plays patriarch and recent widower Frank Goode, the proud papa to kids played by Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale, and Sam Rockwell. The grown children are now scattered across the country, successful in their careers but too swamped to make the trip home. On a lonely whim, Frank packs his bag and embarks on a journey to come to each of them.

The sweetness ends there, though. To see why I was disappointed by the movie, just read more.

It's not that the movie is supposed to be a dark lesson in learning how important you aren't to your kids; the children are meant to be loving, but they're busy covering up a dilemma with the fourth brother David, in trouble offscreen. This device is supposed to make us understand the siblings' reasoning for pushing their dad away. It doesn't.

When you're already feeling terrible for Frank for being so brusquely rejected after he's traveled so far (and against doctor's orders), things get even worse. A good deed he attempts goes unrealistically awry, two of his kids make him feel guilty for pushing them to work hard in their youth, and of course, a health scare threatens him. It doesn't stop there, either. When he's hit rock bottom and your sympathies are spent, Frank endures an intensely disturbing dream sequence.

The movie's series of unfortunate events is meant to be absolved when the family is finally reunited. But as a viewer, I felt so beaten down by the time it happens that the resolution isn't uplifting or redeeming at all. I wanted more from this, but the movie is an unnecessarily depressing experience that just leaves you bummed out.
