Bruins 83, Colonials 60 - UCLA (ranked #1 by ESPN/USA Today and #2 by the AP) hammered George Washington at home and got a lot of players involved. Darren Collison returned from a pre-season knee injury to score 14 and Alfred Aboya had six points despite a broken bone under his eye. Three other players scored in double digits, including highly touted freshman Kevin Love who had 11 points and 11 rebounds. Kings 3, Sharks......

Seattlest watches as a S.L.U.T. is born and Seattle Flickr users go nuts over a local art installation. A restaurant critic demands a Diner's Bill of Rights over a gnat next to her drink, and, in lieu of a Portlandist, Seattlest debates with itself over the identity of the Northwest's crown jewel. Seattlest also joins the guys from Fantagraphics for an ill-fated gun party in the woods. LAist saw national headlines soar this week with......

I can understand your John Travolta or your Tim Allen going for the good paycheck and doing a Wild Hogs, but Bill Macy? The universe is a little less bright today and many fairies are dead. Inland Empire is three hours long, shot on video and makes Lost Highway seem overly coherent. If you're a Lynch fan, that's probably music to your ears. Ryan Gosling's hype took a big hit with his ordinary turn......

We're giving away a prize package to a lucky winner that includes an ATHF beach ball, koozie, sticker, poster, post card, socks, and a CD sampler. And yes, we did say......

Hair High - The latest film from animator Bill Plympton is a gothic high-school comedy. When Spud, the new kid in town, accidentally offends Cherri and Rod, the high school power couple, he is forced to become Cheri's slave, and eventually Spud and Cheri fall for each other. They secretly decide to attend to the prom together, but Rod forces their car off the road and they sink to the bottom of the lake......

Never saw the show. Loved the movie. And I suspect having no frame of reference in which to interpret the behavior of flying french fries and/or the motivations of an amorphous meatwad might have actually added to my experience. This landmark film is like the search for the holy grail meets the Terminator for a string-theory stroll through time and space with pregnant, gym-techno loving robots, poodles with laser beam eyes, creepy Abe Lincoln,......

As you might have seen by our excitement to get the Aqua Teen Hunger Force's music playlist yesterday, we're stoked that the Adult Swim cartoon is going to come out with a full-length movie on Friday the 13th. So we were super excited when they contacted us to tell us that we can give away an ATHF prize package to one lucky LAist reader. Gentlepeople, behold, the package includes: an ATHF beach ball, koozie,......

Every week LAist will tell you what we're listening to, today the troublemakers at the Adult Swim cartoon Aqua Teen Hunger Force told us what they rock out to with their straws out. The Hunger Force have a movie coming out on Friday the 13th - maybe you've seen some of their marketing efforts - and the soundtrack comes out Tuesday the 10th. Carl: Jailbreak - AC/DC If you go to jail, why stay......

Between fake terrorist alerts and scandals big and small, this just might be the Best Best of the -ists ever. We're exhausted just thinking about it. First up, SFist, who saw their little 'ole site be the center of what was a nice little scandal (even getting their editor on TV) only to find their scandal dwarfed by the even bigger scandal caused by their Mayor boffing one of his aides' wife. We're not......

We Love BUR! Jet Blue is seen as a major force behind 2006 being the best year for Bob Hope Airport in Burbank. "With 5.7 million passengers, the Burbank airfield had an increase of 3.2 percent in passengers from last year." (SFVBJ) Business as Usual in LA While the Aqua Teen Hunger Force guerilla marketing campaign in Boston caused mass panic over terrorism and bombs, the same campaign in LA and other cities hardly......

A Word or 36: Hopefully the jerkoff session over the Aqua Teen Hunger Force is winding down and we can get back to real topics like: is Paula Abdul getting replaced by Courtney Love on Idol? And other such ilk. Tonight - Thursday - February 1st, 2007 College Basketball: Oregon @ UCLA (PRIME, 7:30 p.m.) Ugly Betty (ABC, 8:00 p.m.) With cameos from Tim Gunn and Katharine McPhee My Name Is Earl/The Office/Scrubs (NBC,......

The adventures of Frylock, Master Shake and Meatwad, a trio of larger-than-life food products living in a dingy rental house in New Jersey, will hit the big screen on March 17 when Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters debuts. What's the film about? The press release says it better than I could: "When an immortal piece of exercise equipment threatens the balance of galactic peace, it is up to the Aqua Teen......

Okay, we all remember what happened in Florida in 2000, and it didn't make our voting process look very solid. A lot of people came away with the impression that their votes aren't counted properly, if at all, and that none of it matters anyway because no election will ever come down to a margin of just one vote, and if it's anywhere within a few thousand, it's just going to get decided by......
