It was Iron Man 2! Thank God, and all of you who voted for it. Go read the recap, and then…you know what? Take a break. You earned it. (Also we’re taking next week off, since I’ll be in Austin. I’m sure some of you wanted to try to send us to Letters To Juliet, [...]

April 14, 2010

I just noticed we’ve been mis-numbering them. Whoops! I’ll go fix that in just a minute, but first! Since I last checked in, the Sling.com readers have sent us to see Hot Tub Time Machine, The Last Song, and Date Night. None of them was super-awesome.

April 4, 2010

I was already dorkily proud of this story I wrote for work, suggesting ways to shake up the Jim and Pam storyline on The Office. It was tough calibrating the tone so that it was still clear that I love the show and I don’t actually think I know better than the writers — so [...]
