Less than 3 months after firming up a lease on at least 100,000 square feet of office space in 3 buildings surrounding the Frank Gehry-designed Binoculars in Venice, Google is buying up more prime office space, presumably to base its growing entertainment and YouTube operations closer to Hollywood. more ›

The TV Junkie was at the SAG Awards on Sunday. Here are all the still pics we took of the event at the Shrine Auditorium, broadcast on TBS. Many thanks to the SAG Awards and to TBS for inviting us. more ›

I'm one of those paranoid, overly dramatic people who convince themselves that the entire world is out to get them. A lot of my paranoid delusions revolve around driving, of course: that dude slowed down just to piss me off! Every time I change lanes traffic gets worse! (Also known as the "Office Space" rule.) These lights are timed badly just to slow me down! more ›

As usual, New DVD Tuesday is a day late, but here it is anyway. Idiocracy - It's no Office Space (then again, what is?), but this wry satire of anti-intellectualism and pop culture directed by Mike Judge is well worth watching. Luke Wilson stars as a barely average Joe who wakes up 500 years in the future to discover he's the smartest man alive. Maya Rudolph and Dax Shepard co-star, but the scene stealer... more ›

Idiocracy is currently the best movie in America that no one's ever heard of. That doesn’t mean Idiocracy is great, but it certainly deserves better than the shabby treatment it's received from 20th Century Fox, which seems to have unceremoniously dumped the movie into unsuspecting theaters with a promotional budget approximating that of a typical Saturday night beer run. When it comes to screwing over Mike Judge, Fox has a tradition to uphold. Two... more ›

Al Cabino calls himself a "sneakerographer", and we can only imagine that he has a corner on that market. Al is mounting a campaign to have Nike actually produce and market the futuristic high-top sneakers that Michael J. Fox wore as Marty McFly in "Back to the Future II". Wow. At least the guy has a focus. After all, the fans behind "Office Space" were able to get Swingline to make a red stapler, so why not shoes with auto-laces? And aren't they a bit too moon-bootish? Napoleon Dynamite might go for them, but we're hard pressed to see these things catching on today. more ›

We are coming to you LIVE from FINAL FOUR Headquarters for LAist... In the house are a UCLA alum and a UCLA hater. The gloating and trash talk has started already and the pizzas have been ordered. Great times. As usual, we have the CBS crew in the house. Greg "Dont Call Me Bryant" Gumbel, Clark "Sqeeze the Orange" Kellogg, and the third guy who will remain nameless because he is always wrong (Yeah thanks for the heads up on the BC game there guy). more ›
