"Quantum of Solace" Director Discusses Differences...
After attending a screening of the acclaimed new James Bond film, “Skyfall,” Marc Forster, the director of its critically panned predecessor, “Quantum of Solace,” has some thoughts on the film. “It seems like ‘Skyfall’s’ director, Sam Mendes has seen a James Bond movie before,” says Forster.
“Based on the way the audience reacted to a number of moments in the film — expressing...

The James Bond Movies Ranked in Terms of Dewin' It
I’ve been seeing a lot of best-to-worst lists of the James Bond movies lately, and they’re fun to read, but they don’t really make sense. There are just too many of those movies for that. As a reader, I can agree or disagree with the top few and the bottom few, but how is 17 better than 18? Or 12 or 15? Is there another way of doing it?
Speaking of dewin’ it, I decided to rank the movies by...

Rolling Stones Excited To Rip People Off Again
As The Rolling Stones prepare to launch their 50th anniversary tour, the members of the band are excited to do what they do best: charge people lots of money.
“The rehearsals have been killer,” says singer, Mick Jagger. “There’s some great-sounding stuff coming out of our huge, nameless, backup band. I can’t wait to get out there and start charging people too much money for tickets.”

Many Brooklynites Forced To Make Trek Into Office...
As power is restored to downtown Manhattan and shuttle buses become available to cart people on and off the island, Brooklyn residents are finding themselves unable to maintain the “work from home” arrangements they initiated in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
“My office has power. Other people from the boroughs are making it in. The clock is ticking on how long I can work from home and not...

Going to a Halloween party as “The Exorcist.” I’m boring for like two hours, then I start cursing loudly and asking people to fuck me.

Kelsey's Blog: Why, hello New York! →
kelseyfmclaughlin:
Those of you who know me are probably saying “Kelsey, you moved to New York a month ago. Why has this blog taken you so long to launch?!”

Man Eats in Restaurant Alone, Realizes He Doesn’t...
Twenty-six-year-old Christopher Lennox had an epiphany the other day while eating at a nice restaurant by himself for the first time: eating alone is “much more fun” than eating with other people.
“I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of it before,” says Lennox. “It was great to order exactly what I wanted and eat it all myself. If someone else had been there, they probably would have asked me to give...

Things Overheard at a New York City Street Fair
“There’s a battle of the bands happening up that way, so let’s head down this way.”
“I’d yell at my girlfriend for making me come to this, but we got separated and now I can’t find her.”
“This street is usually filled with too many people driving. It’s nice to get a break from that, and see it filled with too many people...

We’re gathered here today to remember… What was his name again? Oh yeah, that’s right. Foley. Wait, are you sure? Okay, yeah. Foley.
Anyway, Foley was a really special guy. I’ll miss the way he called anyone with an opinion that differed from his own a “hothead.” It didn’t matter how logical the suggestion...

Nothing'severgonnastopmefromtugginitto (This)
I saw Wilco three times last week. My body still aches from standing so much, which makes me really concerned about my body.
My favorite Wilco song is “Nothing’severgonnastandinmyway (Again)” off Summer Teeth. It was one of the first songs I heard by them. I was a freshman in college at the time and my friend who already knew the band well recommended it to me as a good place...

Almost As Good As The Rippers
I met Mary-Kate Olsen once or twice in college. If I had it to do over, I’d ask her what it was like to meet Paul Westerberg. I’m sure she gets that a lot.

Good, Crude Fun
Check out this web-series pilot I helped make. It’s called Scrotum Leap. I put it together with a great group of fellas, which made it lots of fun to do. Special thanks to Ian Hayden who shot and edited it for making it look so nice.
Find that funny and not vile? You can find other videos I co-wrote and act in here.

Dangerous LiAssons
Something unique happened to me at the 8:00 Rob Delaney show on Friday. I decided to write about it. It involves my ass.
It was Friday night at Bowery Ballroom. They put seats out on the floor, but by the time my friend Jen and I got there they were all taken. We decided to stand in the back of the room right next to the bar. The space filled up soon with other standers, and right before the show...
