Stars Mocking Tom Cruise
Saturday, January 26th, 2008Jerry O’Connell and Will Wheaton are my new hero’s. They have taken Tom Cruise’s crazy Scientology video and made fun of it.
The Fuck You Song
Thursday, January 24th, 2008Jonah Hill is seriously one of the funniest comedians of the last two decades. Blessed with superb comic timing, a goofy look, and several ounces of awkward cool, Hill is rapidly becoming one of America’s new faves.
Opening February 1st is his new film, STRANGE WILDERNESS. A new clip from the film has been released which [...]
Cruising Through Lunacy
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008Tom Cruise has no discernible reason to be absolutely fucking nuts. He is good looking, has a hot wife, is super rich, and is beloved by the entire human race.
Well, he’s short … but that doesn’t account for the breakdown.
Actually, the entire blame for Cruise’s slow burn to destruction can be laid at the doorstep [...]
2007 - The Year That Was
Sunday, January 13th, 2008For months many critics have been talking breathlessly about the high quality of films in 2007. “This is the best year for films since 1999,” they exclaim, and they might be right.
Hollywood Elsewhere posted a cool video compiled by Matt Shapiro of World of KJ that pays tribute to the many fine films of 2007.
Withdrawal Of Paul
Wednesday, January 9th, 2008For months now most of us here at The Rec Show have been vigorously banging a drum for the campaign of Ron Paul. His ideas for fixing many of the problems plaguing America - and, by association, the world - seem both practical, respectful, and intelligent.
However, the behavior of his supporters, in addition to a [...]
The Greatest Moments Of 2007 - Eric’s Picks
Sunday, December 30th, 2007With the new year coming to an end, I think now is a good time to look back at the 5 greatest celebrity moments of 2007. This year was no different than those of the past. You can always count on Hollywood to give us the most entertaining, bizarre, what the fuck moments that make [...]
The Lost Whisper
Friday, December 14th, 2007Sofia Coppola’s Lost In Translation was a thoughtful but mostly inert meditation on romance and aging, which makes it head and shoulders above anything her father has done in 25 years. However, the film held sway over audiences thanks to Bill Murray’s complex performance, and a romantic little whisper at the very end of the film. [...]
Ain’t So Sunny In Philly
Friday, November 30th, 2007It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia begins it’s third season sun, and to promote the cult FX hit, the producers are holding true to the show’s low-budget roots.
The show was created on a DV camcorder by two struggling actors. It cost them $85 dollars to make. With that, they managed to sell the show to FX, [...]
Huck Upchuck
Monday, November 19th, 2007Republican Presidential nominee Mike Huckabee looks like a child molestor. He covers over his slimy policy ideas with an air of righteous superiority that reminds me of a randomly-selected Baptist minister.
I don’t like the guy. But I do like his new ad, which features Chuck Norris. Yeah, that’s right. Chuck Fucking Norris.
Write The Wrongs
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007If you need any more evidence that the heads of the studios in Hollywood contain vacuous, sucking vortices, then watch as they undermine their boldfaced lies in the months before the writer’s strike:

Radioheaded For Broke?
Wednesday, November 7th, 2007The Radiohead gamble last month appears to have failed.
As we mentioned last month in one of our typically breathless declarations, Radiohead decided to put their album In Rainbowsonline for download, allowing the downloader to decide how much they wanted to pay for the privilege.
A new study revealed the results of the experiment today.
Play MST3K For Me
Saturday, November 3rd, 2007When comedian/inventor Joel Hodgson created a regional access cable show called Mystery Science Theater 3000 back in 1988, I doubt if he realized the impact his little show would prove to have on both the cable industry and the limits of television.
The show quickly became one of cable television’s first viral series, with a grassroots [...]
Hello, Is It Me You’re Looking For?
Thursday, November 1st, 2007
Remember the great Lionel Richie video for the song Hello? You know, the one were the Lionel stalks a young blind woman, then she makes an exact sculpture of him even thought she has never seen or touched his face. Did you ever wonder if you could create such a great sculpture of Lionel [...]
The First Internet Feature

Best Political Commercial Ever?
Friday, October 12th, 2007Congressman Ron Paul’s campaign has really hit its stride over the last few weeks. The $5.1 million dollars raised in the third quarter rocked politics, and massive waves of supporters follow him around the country.
