So, last week, some friends and I saw The Happening. At one point, there's a billboard advertising new houses. "You deserve this," it says. "Hmm," I wondered, "is that Shymalan's message to the critics and the audience?"

I've been watching So You Think You Can Dance. I'm digging it. I love dancing. One of the coolest things I've ever seen was a professional ballroom dancing competition where one couple performed a fox trot set to "Smells Like Teen Spirit." While the show hasn't topped that, it's still shown us some really cool stuff.
But.
There is one contestant who just creeps me out. Gev. He's like some leering letch who lusts after his poor dance partner, even though he knows well that she has a boyfriend back home. His proclamation that her best feature is her beauty and her worst feature her boyfriend coupled with his unabashed joy that he would get to grab her ass during one routine just leaves him seeming reeeeally ooky to me. I wish he would get kicked off.
