Ten MORE Reasons to Dislike Miley Cyrus

Ten MORE Reasons to Dislike Miley Cyrus Reason #11: Miley Cyrus is SO unlikable that her mere existence is forcing me to write yet another column about how much I dislike her. (The first column, entitled “Ten Reasons to Dislike Miley Cyrus,” was written last year, and it actually contained only eight reasons—because I was so infuriated by dislike for her, I ran out of space. But since that was HER fault, I’m starting this column with Reason #11.)

Reason #12: Miley Cyrus is hosting Saturday Night Live this week (Sat March 5, NBC, 11:30 pm), with musical guests the Strokes. Everything about that last sentence—especially the mention of Miley Cyrus—is unlikable. For comparison, here’s a more likable sentence: Seeping Chest Wound is hosting a Dysentery Vegan Potluck this week, with anal itching guests the Genital Wart Marching Band.

In the Zone: Killzone 3 hits the mark with detailed destruction

In the Zone: Killzone 3 hits the mark with detailed destruction

During one of my early battles on the planet Helghan—at least I think we were fighting on Helghan. I mean I know that Killzone 3 is the third game in the series and I should understand the storyline by now. But honestly I don't care. And I care even less when the game's designers cram three games worth of made-up military history into blocks of text onscreen during the first few minutes. Sheesh, Sony, didn't you have enough money to at least hire Patrick Stewart to read the thing out loud?

The Fancy Awards: What to do at your Oscar party Hey, everybody! I’m the ACADEMY AWARDS! OOH-LA-LA! Look how fancy I am! I’ll be on TV this coming Sunday, February 27, on ABC at 5:30 p.m., so everybody should stop whatever it is they’re doing and watch me because I’m sooooo super IMPORTANT and sooooo FANCY! Oooooooh! Look at my fancy statue! Oooooooh! Look at all the fancy people! Oooooooh! Look at all the fancy clothes! Currently, I’m wearing a powdered wig, a ruffled collar, and skintight breeches, and I’m waving a pretty lacy hankie in the air because OOOOOOOOOOH! I’M SO FANCY!

Our Oscar Picks: Who should win and who will win on Sunday

Our Oscar Picks: Who should win and who will win on Sunday

From psychotic ballerinas to stammering kings to a dude who cuts his own arm off, 2010 made quite the impression on moviegoers. The Source film columnists Morgan P. Salvo and Anne Pick spent the year watching as many movies as possible, liking some, hating others and always soaking in the joys (and occasional woes) of going to the theater. Here’s a rundown of which filmmakers and actors they think should take home Oscar gold this weekend

ANNE PICK

Best Picture

Should Win: The Social Network. Contemporary, beautifully done and win or lose, you’ll still be updating your Facebook status about it on Oscar night.

Will Win: The King’s Speech. Honestly, I fell asleep toward the end and didn’t get to see the king’s actual speech.

Best Actress in a Leading Role

Should Win: Natalie Portman. Her stunning yet haunting performance in Black Swan makes Portman unbeatable.

Will Win: Natalie Portman. Sorry, Annette Bening, it’s still not your year.
