A lot of people (we imagine would) have been asking us to explain the plot arc of the first season (if we were still a popular alt-comedy nerd website), so we thought we'd do a public service (to our ourselves), and really break down this hot new show (way into the first season so nobody will pay much attention)!]]> http://www.thecorrectness.com/television/orphan-black-explained/feed/ 0 http://www.thecorrectness.com/comics/superherosmackdown/movie-superhero-smackdown-live-at-the-calgary-comic-expo/ http://www.thecorrectness.com/comics/superherosmackdown/movie-superhero-smackdown-live-at-the-calgary-comic-expo/#comments Fri, 19 Apr 2013 21:56:28 +0000 Tbinns http://www.thecorrectness.com/?p=7149 The Correctness will once again be presenting the Superhero Smackdown Panel live at the Calgary Comic Expo at 11:30 am at the Rotary house on Sunday April 28th. ]]> http://www.thecorrectness.com/comics/superherosmackdown/movie-superhero-smackdown-live-at-the-calgary-comic-expo/feed/ 6 http://www.thecorrectness.com/correctness/the-correctness-guide-to-practical-english-language-usage-chapter-17-metaphoric-and-especially-simile-construction-in-the-age-of-terror/ http://www.thecorrectness.com/correctness/the-correctness-guide-to-practical-english-language-usage-chapter-17-metaphoric-and-especially-simile-construction-in-the-age-of-terror/#comments Wed, 10 Apr 2013 02:46:10 +0000 RobbieRobTown http://www.thecorrectness.com/?p=7140 http://www.thecorrectness.com/correctness/the-correctness-guide-to-practical-english-language-usage-chapter-17-metaphoric-and-especially-simile-construction-in-the-age-of-terror/feed/ 5 http://www.thecorrectness.com/movies/youre-getting-too-old-for-this-s/ http://www.thecorrectness.com/movies/youre-getting-too-old-for-this-s/#comments Fri, 15 Feb 2013 19:51:33 +0000 admin_rock http://www.thecorrectness.com/?p=7121 Not sure if it's just co-incidental timing, or studios wanting to burn these films off in the slow season, but we've been hit with the 1-2-3 punch of action films starring some the greatest names in Action cinema. In 1988, if you told me I'd get a Stallone, a Schwarzenegger, and a Bruce Willis film within months of one another, two things would be true: It would be summer, and I would be really happy. But 1988 was a LONG time ago. Now it's 2013, and this triple threat is well... sad. ]]> http://www.thecorrectness.com/movies/youre-getting-too-old-for-this-s/feed/ 2 http://www.thecorrectness.com/comics/the-correctness-casting-couchpowergirl/ http://www.thecorrectness.com/comics/the-correctness-casting-couchpowergirl/#comments Thu, 14 Feb 2013 21:38:29 +0000 Tbinns http://www.thecorrectness.com/?p=7111 Perhaps known more for her cosplay potential than what she does as a character, Power Girl is nevertheless one of our most requested heroines here on the old Correctness Casting Couch, so let’s stop wasting time and get right to it shall we? ]]> http://www.thecorrectness.com/comics/the-correctness-casting-couchpowergirl/feed/ 14 http://www.thecorrectness.com/correctness/smackdown-expo-2013/ http://www.thecorrectness.com/correctness/smackdown-expo-2013/#comments Wed, 13 Feb 2013 04:24:23 +0000 admin_rock http://www.thecorrectness.com/?p=7109 http://www.thecorrectness.com/correctness/smackdown-expo-2013/feed/ 7 http://www.thecorrectness.com/music/piecast-episode-1-do-not-roast-weenies-on-the-lord-thy-god/ http://www.thecorrectness.com/music/piecast-episode-1-do-not-roast-weenies-on-the-lord-thy-god/#comments Mon, 11 Feb 2013 21:37:30 +0000 Tbinns http://www.thecorrectness.com/?p=7090 Well kids, myself and my good pal Trevor Campbell have taken a kick at the old podcasting can.]]> http://www.thecorrectness.com/music/piecast-episode-1-do-not-roast-weenies-on-the-lord-thy-god/feed/ 9 0:23:28 Well kids, myself and my good pal Trevor Campbell have taken a kick at the old podcasting can.

You all must be so stressed. Fear not, I bring you the updated lists. FILM Watched Best Exotic Marigold Hotel with Mrs. Admin Rock the other night. It was just as wonderful the second time. If you like old people, or India, or any combination thereof, you'll enjoy this film. You might confuse it with Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, but here's a simple way to tell them apart: BEMH is actually about something, and doesn't spend most of its time wistfully staring with vaseline on the lens. Okay, I haven't actually seen Moonrise Kingdom, because I just don't get Wes Anderson. Been burned too many times. I'm sure he's all talented and awesome, but it's like that movie that all your friends rave about, then you go see it, and it sucks donkey balls. It's exactly like that. Donkeyballful. Donkeybawful. On a recent flight, I watched both The Bourne Legacy, and Taken 2, without sound. Rather, they were on, and I glanced up occasionally, and wondered if any part of these films didn't involve a chase, or standoff of some kind. I feel like I made the wiser choice.]]> http://www.thecorrectness.com/admin-rock-roundup/admin-rock-roundup-january-23-2013/feed/ 3 http://www.thecorrectness.com/correctness/5-reasons-why-i-wont-write-for-cracked/ http://www.thecorrectness.com/correctness/5-reasons-why-i-wont-write-for-cracked/#comments Tue, 22 Jan 2013 18:17:04 +0000 Tbinns http://www.thecorrectness.com/?p=7070 Okay, so I’ve been busy. Like, “let some guy write 12 articles about the Chipmunks Christmas album and just let that shit slide,” busy. And by busy of course I mean lazy. Horribly horribly lazy. So I confess I have been spending more and more time on Cracked lately.

Christmas with the Chipmunks is coming to a close, and so is my review. As well as my ability to write any reviews at all.
