Golden age of film
"Fast & Furious 6" and "The Hangover 3" led box offices to a record-breaking Memorial Day weekend. So the theater industry is alive, but real film is dead? We'll call this record a fluke, because I refuse to believe the Fast & Furious franchise is capable of breaking anything besides clunky set pieces and immutable laws of physics.
Swedish unrest
Trouble in paradise this week, as six days of fierce rioting have seen protest, rampant vandalism and burning police cars in the suburbs of Stockholm, capital of one of the happiest countries in the world. Some attribute the unrest to immigration, but most blame rising socioeconomic inequality. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
New developments
Popular comedy series Arrested Development returned from the grave Sunday with new episodes on Netflix. So grab some bananas, cornballs and martinis and go celebrate the renewed stream of losing, schmoozing and boozing with Jason Bateman and company. Because Steve Holt, that's why. LOL Netflix.
UFO irony
An American drone was reportedly shot down Tuesday by al-Qaida operatives in Somalia. Needless to say, we'll stop at nothing to rescue the brave unmanned aerial vehicle. We cannot rest while our flying assault robot is at their mercy. Just think what inhuman atrocities they could commit with...oh. I've made a huge mistake.
Ordering up a dolphin delivery
Looking for a hip new trend to latch onto for the birth of your first child? Midwives and bathtubs just not doing it for you? Forget natural -- think maritime. One North Carolina couple is going all the way to Hawaii to have their baby while swimming with dolphins in a tank.
The couple say they want to rebuild human relationships with dolphins so the two species can more peacefully coexist. But they might need to make it clear up front exactly what sort of relationship they're looking for with the dolphins -- it might be more mammal than they can handle.
Experts say a male dolphin can be extremely aggressive and violent without provocation. We just hope he's licensed.
NOTED.
A couple in Pennsylvania stabbed each other after arguing about the American Idol finale a few weeks ago.
So not only are all the judges fired, but the last two Idol fans attempt some weird group suicide. Luckily they survived, so they'll be back to see next season. You're not getting away that easy, Seacrest.
