By now, you’ve
probably seen Isaac Lamb’s masterfully choreographed routine/marriage proposal
to Amy Frankel. The Portland, Ore. couple reached cyber stardom with YouTube
video “Isaac’s Live Lip-Dub Proposal” — just one week after being posted, it's approaching 12 million views.
It is important to
note that despite various website mentions, this is decidedly
not “hipster” (except maybe the dancing Jews, that might be some kind of
underground art trend). The song is a 2010 hit Pop song by “Hawaiian Elvis”
Bruno Mars. A similar performance can be seen on this very popular television show. Nonetheless,
it is really damn cute. I dare you to not get misty-eyed.
It might not be
everyone’s dream proposal, but it’s such a representative 2012 slice of life:
popular music, Glee-esque dancing, technology (Skype, YouTube). Just imagine
their first dance as husband and wife…
If you’re not one
of the couple million people who saw Battleship, don’t waste your money quite
yet. Here’s every line of dialogue Rihanna says in the box office bomb.
School lunches
usually suck. Although over the years many schools have committed to serving
healthier, more substantial meals, the thought of cafeterias conjures up
memories of greasy sloppy joes, canned fruit and square pizza. Most kids don’t
mind it — who didn’t look forward to grilled cheese day? Kids aren’t concerned
with nutritious content. Kids who aren’t Martha Payne, that is. GOOD shared the blog of
this 9-year-old Scottish girl who became fed up with her inadequate school
lunches. Under the careful supervision of her Dad, Payne created NeverSeconds, a blog of her daily school lunch with
ratings (which adorably calculate number of mouthfuls and pieces of hair in
every meal). The blog hasn’t even been up for two months and Payne is already
getting recognition from the likes of school lunch champion Jamie Oliver. Payne,
under the moniker Veg (as in Veritas Ex Gustu, which is Latin for
Truth in Tasting), also invites children from around the world to send in
photos and analyses of their healthy or sub-par school meals. What a cool
little chick.
Anchorman
2 is really coming.
Mark Zuckerberg
had a pretty busy couple weeks. He launched Facebook in the stock market, updated his relationship status
and married a girl that did not
dump him in The Social Network, honeymooned in Italy and
ate
McDonald’s there.
And
everyone’s pissed about all of it.
Did anyone else
nearly run their car off the road when they hear what sounds like Morgan
Freeman’s sweet, heavenly voice on a … library commercial?
That’s right, a
guy who really sounds like Morgan Freeman voiced a commercial for the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County.
Morgan Freeman stars as Nelson Mandela in Eastwood's newest film
0 Comments · Wednesday, December 9, 2009
Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood's 'Invictus' could mistakenly be considered the story of Nelson Mandela's first days as president of South Africa. It's not that story at all. In typical Eastwood fashion, he has produced and directed something more basic and elemental than that because the film is nothing more than a bare recounting of a country and its first inspired steps toward unification. Grade: B plus.
