Thumbs Down: Ghost Writer plot

When Ewan McGregor solves the mystery in Ghost Writer the same way Homer Simpson figures out his mom is still alive, that's two hours wasted.

Uh....

That picture? REALLY?

Thumbs Down (or Thumbs Up): Anish Kapoor's Guggenheim "Intervention"

Smoke Monster,

Just take John Locke and leave the Guggenheim alone.

Thumbs Down: this G&M reader

Holy shit, Tula: I can't wait to read your obituary for all the yuks. I'm looking in the mirror and seeing someone sick of reading this cynical bullshit.

(Yes, I understand the irony of that last sentence.)

Thumbs Down: that dude in town that dresses exactly like Dan Deacon

To the hipster dude that shows up at the same events we attend that looks like Dan Deacon and even dresses like the guy too,

That ain't helping no one.

Thumbs Down: Vancouver Sun

You'd think that one could flip to the local newspaper to get updates on yet another story of VPD officers beating up an innocent civilian (not to mention yet another innocent civilian of colour). Nope. You gots to go to the Globe and Mail for that. Geesh.

Thumbs Down: iPod Whole Foods Lady

Lady who totally threw her bread in my face and asked the bakery person at Whole Foods to slice it for her even though I clearly was already ordering cookies from said bakery person (who even looked back at me with a "WTF?" look on her face)(like, totally!), all because said lady would not take her iPod earphones out,

What exactly are you listening to? Because I apparently haven't heard anything that good in awhile.
