The 1985 John Hughes teen comedy classic The Breakfast Club celebrates its 30th anniversary on February 15. That's right, it's been thirty years since the brain, the athlete, the basket case, the princess, and the criminal walked into detention as strangers and left as something else. The beloved coming-of-age film — which was a critical and box office success upon its release — featured some of the biggest stars of the '80s, who all graduated to various levels of success after The Breakfast Club.

Sketchy Bastard Saul Goodman Is Back in 'Better Call Saul' and We Couldn't Be Happier
Reunited and it feels so good. It's been almost a year-and-a-half since Breaking Bad left our lives, but on Sunday night fans of the series were reacquainted with one of the show's most iconic characters: Saul Goodman. Well, Jimmy McGill. Read more…
The Evolution Of Speed And Intelligence Of Zombies In Pop Culture
Zombies have been a staple of the horror genre for nearly 70 years. And it's no surprise that the creatures have evolved over time. But no matter what, there are two characteristics that mark a zombie: intelligence (or lack thereof) and speed. In fact, it was George A. Romero who set the standard that most people know today. Zombies in Night Of The Living Dead were sluggish and had little brain power except for the need for flesh. Eventually, zombies developed attack skills, motor functions, self-awareness and in Warm Bodies case, true emotion.
Then there's speed. I Walked With A Zombie was all but human, just dazed. Then films like 28 Days Later and Zombieland pressed on the gas peddle. World War Z marks another significant step in the zombie evolution. The speed of this film's creatures are probably the fastest in pop culture (unless you count the quick steps of Michael Jackson's "Thriller"). Surprisingly, they lack any real intelligence, just a frighteningly intense desire for flesh.

Zoe Saldana Continues To Catch Hell For Her Role As Nina Simone
Zoe Saldana may be in over her head with the lead role as Nina Simone in the biopic, Nina. The casting of Zoe was immediately met with side-eyes and constructive criticism. Cynthia Mort, director and writer of the film, was called out by Nina's daughter for not consulting her or the family to make sure Nina's legacy was depicted accurately. The controversy spun into an even bigger debacle when pictures of Zoe on set in black face with an afro wig hit the 'net. And it ain't pretty. Read more…
Stevie Wonder Files For Divorce From His Wife After Three Year Separation
Just when our mourning over Tom and Katie's divorce subsided, TMZ reports after 11 years of marriage the legendary Stevie Wonder has filed for divorce from his wife Kai Millard Morris for irreconcilable differences. In the divorce documents obtained by TMZ, Wonder asks for joint custody of their two sons ages seven and 10. In 2001 the couple tied the knot, separating eight years later in October 2009. Despite his feelings toward his soon to be ex-wife, Mr. Wonder agrees to pay both child and spousal support. Such a stand up guy. Our inquiring minds want to know if Mr. Wonder sang "I Just Called to Say I Love You" to his ex-wife in an attempt to reconcile. Sad to see the couple divorce after over a decade, but let's all hope this doesn't get nasty. And for our poor little hearts, no more celeb divorces this year. Please!

Are Rihanna And Chris Brown Canoodling In France?
Rekindling love along the French Riviera makes for a great scene in a romantic movie. Only this isn't a rom-com, it's allegedly ex-lovers Rihanna and Chris Brown. The New York Post reports the two ex-lovebirds shared an intimate dinner a deux in Monaco. Adding grist to the rumor mill, Rihanna has been tweeting some rather cryptic messages like "#3words last night was beautiful," and, "Touch down baby, help me pick out my fit," indicating her "baby" had arrived. Not to mention the alleged dinner date she had with Chris in L.A. before her vacation. Read more…
Another Handy Reminder Before You Decide To Write Anything
Hey there, aspiring writers, directors, actors, musicians, actor-directors, musicians turned actors, poets, musicians turned poets, poets turned directors, and for sure bloggers (because blogging is supes art) – here's just another quick reminder of a dilemma you're already well aware of, but it always helps to have a graphical reminder / hope-dasher.
Dan Gurewitch posted this following graphic from Rotten Tomatoes, noting that "it sums up the predicament faced by anyone who creates anything":
Yyyyup. If this graphic doesn't spell out the age-old 'artistic aspirations'-vs-$$$$ dilemma clearly enough, you can always just check out the Neilsen ratings on CBS shows versus Breaking Bad and Mad Men. (Actually, I'm pretty sure CBS technically owns me, so maybe I should delete that sentence? Ehh, whoever pays my salary would probably read it and at least be like 'yep' before firing me.)

George Clooney Gives Us More Details About The Career-Ending Prank He's Playing On Brad Pitt
George Clooney has won an Oscar, he's dating a living Oscar statuette, he had front row seats to Cirque du Soleil last night, AND he once lived under the same roof as Tootie, Blair and Mrs. Garrett. However, by all accounts, his is a life still unfulfilled. Back in January, The Cloons confessed to Inside The Actors Studio host James Lipton that he's been laying the groundwork for two years (!) on what will one day be considered the most epic prank of all-time. "I'm working on one right now for Brad Pitt," he admitted. "It might end his career. I'm not going to tell you what it is, but just know, I got it."
Well, VH1 News correspondent Janell Snowden caught up with the man that Videogum recently dubbed as "Prankosaurus Rex" on the red carpet of the Oscars last night and pressed him for details on how exactly he's going to ruin fellow handsome actor Brad Pitt's career. Dr. Ross didn't exactly spill the beans, but he did give away two previously unreleased piece of information about The Prankening. "It's not (expensive)," he told us, nor is it cruel. "It just takes patience." Hmmmm, patience he says … Wait, does this mean that it somehow is related to the Guns N' Roses song and that W. Axl Rose is somehow involved? IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY! We, and Brad Pitt, might have to wait years to find out.
Gabe & Max Like The Internet – Episode 10
The dog days of summer are nearly upon us, but like a cool blast of freon to your prefrontal cortex, Gabe & Max are here to make your Friday considerably more chill. In their latest roundup of the videos that made the Internet guffaw over the past week, our daring co-hosts opine on serious and highly controversial¹ topics like:
- The role of preachers at NASCAR events who use the opportunity to thank the man upstairs for blessing them with "smokin' hot wives"
- Whether or not breathing in gasses that make your voice sound quote-unquote "hilarious" is worth the adverse effect it can have your life expectancy
- Should you shave your forearms, and if so, should you shave them with a super sharp kitchen knife?
Knowing is half the battle, people!

Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux: I Can KO All of Donaire's Foes in One Day!
Undefeated former Olympic champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (11-0 with 8 KOs) of Cuba said he is very confident of overcoming unified 122-pound Filipino champ Nonito Donaire (31-1, 20 KOs) on April 13 in New York. Rigondeaux feels disrespected by some of the recent comments that came from Donaire and his trainer Robert Garcia.
"Nonito doesn't really know a true double Olympic champion. He better be well be prepared, because on April 13 I'm going to [hit him with] him a lot of leather. He has not fought anybody. He faced a group of dead men, and I'm able to knock out all of them in one day," Rigondeaux told The Zone Radio [Click Here To Read More] |

The only thing that'll disappoint this Rigo fan is if Guillermo doesn't fight to the best of his ability. If he loses, he loses. There can only be one king of the mountain. No shame in losing to the best. If "El Chacal" wins, it'll be lots and lots of gravy for me.

Young people working with Government to ensure that young people's views and needs are taken into account.
The British Youth Council, funded by the Department for Education, has recruited a National Scrutiny Group (NSG) of young people who will work with Government Departments and Ministers to ensure that young people's views and needs are taken into account when developing policies that affect them.
The NSG, made up of 15 young people aged 11-19 from across England, will enable Government departments and ministers to make more informed decisions, by giving young people's views on content and implementation of policy.
The group will work together to identify a number of priority issues for the coming year. Ministers will also be asked to consider engaging with the NSG on issues that need to be 'youth proofed'.
Watch NSG members talk about the group's role, and their hopes for what it can achieve.

It's a bug, in my place, in February. Beyond that, I don't know. [more inside]

Overpayment by employer - gross vs. net repayment
I just received an email from the company through whom I contract, claiming that they had paid me twice for a recent week. Obviously they now want that money back; however, they are asking for the full amount I was paid, NOT the amount I received after taxes. I am assuming I am on the hook for the whole [cursing] thing, but can someone tell me how this works? [more inside]
What's this weird fruiting vine?
That Funky Lunchbox Smell
My Mr. Bento lunchbox has a persistent odor, not unlike things you've (I've) forgotten in the back of the fridge. It's starting to permeate the little containers and into my food which is... counter-productive to me using it. How do I mitigate the funk? Difficulty: it can't be submerged or put in the dishwasher. [more inside]
Ten years on... what are these gross squishy things?
About ten years ago this gross picture (NSFDinner) of whatever they are made the rounds online. I think they were described as "shark eggs" but they're obviously not. I FINALLY found the picture again today and tried to reverse-google-image-search it in the hope there was now more info... nothing. So, Mefites, do YOU know what they are?
I am having trouble with my new "overweight" status
For the first time, in my early 40's, I'm overweight and ashamed and embarrassed and can't get back on track. [more inside]

Pregnant + stomach sucks. WTF? (IT'S NOT MORNING SICKNESS).
I'm asking for a friend. Whom I'm married to. She says:
I am 16 weeks pregnant and am having a GI symptom that I can't find any information about online, from my OB, or from several different nurse midwives.
(univac sez: This is not about morning sickness. If you think this question is about morning sickness or nausea during pregnancy, GO AWAY.) [more inside]
Unwanted Stuff On My Cat
My cat had something on his fur, near his left rear thigh, that looked like a slug. It was about an inch long and 3-5mm wide, black, and shiny.
He is a fraidy cat who will not tolerate being touched. He only just tolerates playing chases with a piece of string, so I spent some time with him this morning doing just that and trying to take a picture. I was not able to get a picture that was clear enough. He actually washed around whatever it was, but only once, and he didn't dislodge it in the process.
We tried to catch him and failed. He got outside. Since he has so many hangups it is possible that he won't come back and likely that he won't trust us for another six months if he does. He only knows a few words, but "vet" is one of them and he has a very strong reaction to that one, so the effects of stuffing him into a pet carrier can only be imagined, even if we had any hope of accomplishing that now.
So: what external feline parasite looks like a slug, is about an inch long and lurks on the fur near the thigh, and what do we do about it in the unlikely event that we get the chance?

To brew or not to brew?

Interconnection - Chapter 10: The Illusion of Consciousness

Day 230.
Most of the time file cracking depends on brute force, and in such situations it often comes down to luck. I must have had a stroke of luck this time because I cracked the encrypted message I intercepted from the computer of that suspicious women rather quickly. It appears to be the time and location of a meeting, but not just any meeting. If I didn't know any better this message contains the information required to connect to a virtual meeting like the one I interrupted before. There's a password and connection details which should let me access this meeting too.
The time of the meeting seems to be only a few hours from now. If I can get into another one of their secret meetings I may be able to learn more about their plans and strategies. I couldn't have possibly asked for a bigger lead than this. This time I will hold back any fits of anger and learn anything I can from these people. I'll get help from TheDoctor and have him monitoring the situation in case things go bad. This will be a risky operation considering I don't even understand this virtual reality technology properly yet.
The important thing is that I know how to use the VR technology which should allow me to gain access to their meeting, assuming they are still using the same type of software I got from TheDoctor. I turn back around to check on the status of our mysterious women to see her shuffling around some sort of headgear. It looks like she's getting set up for the meetings. I'm running the fingerprints from her laptop as I watch her. A few minutes later the search comes up blank, so she doesn't have any criminal record. That'll make it harder to ID her.
Outgoing TCAT call (TheDoctor) ...
Call accepted ...
Initializing connection ...
"Hey dude what's up?" asks TheDoctor.
"Ok I have a bit of a situation here and I need some help." I answer.
"What kind of situation?" questions TheDoctor.
"Well... arguably a good one. My botnet detected a computer holding psychotronic software and it led me to the details of a possible secret virtual reality meeting like before. I need you to stay on backup while I enter the meeting. My sight and vision, as well as all my other senses, will be totally cut off from the real world. I'll be put in a total state of virtual reality and if the meeting goes wrong I want you ready to pull the plug at any moment." I respond.
"And how exactly will I know if anything goes wrong?" asks TheDoctor.
"Well I guess there is no real way to know for sure without being in the meeting. You'll have to keep a check on my heart rate. If you notice any signs of me being in distress then disconnect me from the meeting and I should come right back." I explain.
"Sounds easy enough I guess. Anything else I need to do?"
"Well I've also got a video cam tap on the laptop where I detected the psychotronic software. I believe the female using that laptop will also connect to this meeting at the same time as me. I'll patch a visual through to you so you can keep an eye on her while we're in the meeting. I'll also patch a stream of my heart rate monitor through to you now." I respond.
Some time later...
"Ok we're all set... data streams are coming through clearly. How are things on your end?" questions TheDoctor.
"Everything looks good to go. Countdown to meeting is 1 minute and counting." I answer.
"Great. Make sure you don't freak out too early this. We need everything we can get from this." TheDoctor responds.
"Don't worry, if this goes smoothly they wont even know I was there. Last time they didn't notice anything at first because everyone has the same avatar in the virtual world. That anonymity works against them." I explain.
"Ok get ready, things are about to get interesting in 5... 4... 3... 2... Here we go. Initializing connection sequence..."
Suddenly I'm in an empty white room with no windows or doors. I'm sitting in a chair... no I'm strapped to a chair. I look up to see a bunch of people staring at me. They all look the same, like before: a generic business man wearing a black suit. But this time I don't look the same as them... I look like a young school boy or something. It quickly dawns on me that I'm serious trouble here. This seems to be a trap, they were waiting for me. I took their bait without thinking twice.
"Hmmm... that's odd. His heart rate appears to be rising already. I guess he must be nervous." mumbles TheDoctor.
I need to get out of here now. My mind is racing a million miles per hour going over different solutions. TheDoctor probably wont be much help at this point, he probably thinks I'm just nervous. The only possible way I can get out of this is to make him realize what is going on. Damn it, how did I fall for this. I don't want to wait around and find out what these people want. I don't think they can hurt me though, they don't know where I am and in the real world and my connection to this meeting should be untraceable.
"Do you like the outfit we gave you? Unfortunately we didn't know what you look like so we had to go with our imaginations. I think it matches you well. A childish little boy sticking his nose everywhere it doesn't belong." taunts one of the suited men.
"You people are sick you know that? You think you can control people and use them like dolls for your own benefit? That definitely is my business, and I'll make sure you people are exposed!" I sputter.
"Ah you certainly are a live one. The technology you refer to is the least of our concerns right now. We want to know about project EVE. We understand that you have information on the location of EVE and we will get that information from you by any means necessary." the man responds.
"You really think I'm going to tell you what I know? What kind of moron are you? You can't even hurt me in here!" I laugh.

"Oh you'll tell us boy. Don't think this virtual world will save you... soon it's going to be your worste nightmare. You logged into a reality we are generating. We can control it, we can make you experience anything we want. Imagine hell, we can put you there. Keep in mind pain still applies this world. Not only is your vision being intercepted by the psychotronic signals, all your senses are. I can peel back the skin on your face in this world and it'll feel completely real, but you wont die from blood loss." threatens the man.
"Do what ever you want, I'll be pulled from this meeting before that happens. I just want to know how you even predicted I would find that laptop and intercept the encrypted message?" I question.
"No need to worry, we have our experts making sure it's impossible for you to disconnect. You wont get out of this so easily. And if you really must know, I'll tell you in return for information about EVE. Let me assure you, the answer will intrigue you." the man replies.
God damn it... if he really has locked me into this meeting things are about to go from bad to worse. The last thing I want is to have my face virtually removed. Well second last, before having my face removed for real. But then again who is to say what is real. This virtual world is several factors more realistic than the last one I was in. Maybe if I appear to cooperate with them I'll get out of this without permanent mental damage.
"Ok... I'll tell you what I know about EVE if you tell me how you set me up first. I wont accept anything less." I reply.
"Fine. But you best keep your word boy. Things will get ugly otherwise. Now, to put it rather simply, we used Mr. Kulsan to set you up. Did you really think it would be so easy to break someone out of a high security prison? We let you do that... in fact we knew exactly what you would attempt and we went to Kulsan before hand, telling him that if he played along he would have his charges dropped and also receive a substantial monetary reward. He was really in prison for leaking that software, but he was our puppet once we captured him. He kept tabs on you and reported his finding to us. Eventually we learned that you were using your botnet to search for our software, so we dropped some bait in a place we knew that you'd find it, and the rest is history." explained the man.
"You sons of bitches! I trusted Kulsan! There's no way you pulled all that off... damn it!!!"
"Sorry, that's just how it is. So now it's your turn... what do you know about EVE boy?" the man demands.
"Go to hell! I'm not telling you anything! You really believed I'd tell scum like you? Looks like I'm not the only fool here!" I yell.
"Fine... then we'll just have to test out how well the pain system works. It works for me either way. In fact I think I like this way better." laughs the man.
A large blade materializes in the mans hand. Without warning he thrusts the blade towards my hand and cuts straight through one of my fingers. The dismembered finger falls to the floor and appears to release blood.
"AGGHHHH! Son of a..." I groan loudly.
"Hurts huh? We even simulate the blood, that's something right? You've got to hand it to our technicians. The wonders of technology never cease to amaze! Hahaha!" the man laughs hysterically.
"You're mad... all of you. Utterly mad beyond redemption. I'll never tell you anything." I cry as virtual tears start streaming from my virtual eyes.
"Oh no need to cry my dear boy... things are just heating up. Lets try something else. Something more interesting. How about I use this blade to peel up some of those fingernails?" the man threatens.
"I'll withstand what ever punishment you mad men dish out!" I respond.
"Well it's your choice. If the hard way is what you want, the hard way is what I'll supply. Hmmm, here we go. Oh wow that looks bad, look at that nail tear from the virtual skin! It's brilliant!"
The pain is almost unbearable. Now I know what they mean when they say it's all in the mind. This isn't even real but the pain seems all too real. If my brain thinks it's real then it may as well be real. I've got to get out of this now. I can't last much longer, I'm nearly at my breaking point. Who knows what he'll do next... maybe remove my eye balls from their sockets or something. I wonder how that would affect my vision in this virtual reality. What the hell am I saying, it's no time to ponder such stupid things!
"Quite frankly I'm surprised you have been able to withstand this much torture. Many men would have given up by now. I have to respect your determination, but unfortunately everyone breaks at some point. We'll just have to take it up another notch!" says the man.
"Wait... just wait. I can't take it anymore. I'll tell you what you want to know. Eve is... Eve is living inside-"
Connection terminated.

and why did eve not help.
What makes you think she didn't help? He was pulled from the meeting before revealing anything...
and! the pain would up his hart a lot.
They had locked him into the meeting. TheDoctor couldn't pull him without circumventing their lock...
All will be revealed in the next chapter.
