The Wawa Mystery
Why is a brand that only exists in 5 Mid-Atlantic States...
Does Hulu know where I live? Wawa is 'the epitome of convenience' but it is creepy that the advertisements can be so specially catered to my location. Or else, Wawa is just doing really well and they want to expand to more of the country. I would like to add though, that the bigger Wawa gets, the lower the quality of its lunch meat drops. Truth.

Ahh Tss Tss Push It
I had to read this book by Sapphire for my youth literature class, "The Perilous Journey: The Darker Side of Childhood." It is written in the style of an illiterate girl, depicted in the trailer above, who slowly becomes more literate. So reading it I felt like I was made dumb and then re-educated. It was not necessarily a process I enjoyed, but thankfully I finished it and was not left 100% harmed.
That being said, the rape, abuse and embarrassment Precious endures will probably be equally painful to watch as it was to read. But it is always healing to see Mariah Carey's face plastered with a fake (possibly real) mustache.
Harvey Weinstein, get off your hundred-dollar-bill-stuffed ass and release this movie already or we will start to illegally download it and THEN what will happen to all the underprivileged pregnant teenage girls who need federal aid?
Michel Gondry explodes from cute overload
As if he and his filmmaking weren't cute enough already, Michel Gondry has made a a documentary about his aunt. It premiered at Cannes with no special recognition, and has no set release dates, and as a result the following clip is not in English:
(go to about 4 minutes. Is that "Lonely, lonely" by Feist in the background? Goon-dryy.)
Désoléeeeeeee. Mais ça me semble trop mignon!

500 Days of Summer
500 Days of Summer
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Zooey Deschanel, The Smiths, Regina Spektor, Love. This movie markets itself. Let's hope these brunettes deliver. Perhaps I am too like Deschanel's character in thinking that last italicized word might ruin it, though. It doesn't look funny enough. Still.
