The mass-shooting in Aurora, CO has led to a bit of “Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?” when discussing The Dark Knight Rises. But being the brave soldiers we are over at Papa’s Basement, we knew there was a job to be done. So we set aside […]
The Dark Knight Rises‘ opening weekend has come and gone and, according to The IMDb, its place in cinema history has been secured as one of the ten greatest movies of all time. “The Dark Knight Rises ahead of such films as Gone With the Wind and Casablanca?,” you might […]
Ah, The Dark Knight Rises. The summer movie most anticipated by grown men still living in their parents’ homes across the globe. I have a love-hate relationship with Christopher Nolan’s Batman films. On one hand, it’s hard to argue against what a bold, masterful take they are on such a […]
Last Friday, Daniel Tosh of Tosh.0 fame uttered a line at Los Angeles’ Laugh Factory to the effect of “rape jokes are always funny”. (As an aside, I don’t see the point of Tosh.0. Would you watch a show where the host airs the top porn videos of the week, […]

Yesterday, Ke$ha Tweeted or Instagramed or Facebooked or used whatever new social network is violating the public’s privacy this week to share a photo of her freshly inked lip tattoo, and I have to admit, other than that ridiculous gold tooth, she has a nice mouth. Though maybe it seems […]
