I seriously laughed myself to tears when I saw Sarah's recent "olive branch in the form of a tweet" to Justine Bateman. Here's an article to catch you up on the drama, and if you feel like lending a helping hand post a tweet with #helpmallory in it.
Twitter tools. Also, my hatred of babies.

Comedy
Over on the Current Comedy blog Josh makes an interesting comparison between Muammar al-Gaddaffi and accidental comedy -- because nothing is funnier than a dictator who unintentionally takes to stand-up. Also up for perusal is the latest Current Virals rundown, and rather serious flooding in the southeast US conjures up rather flippant memories of TV's Step-by-Step.
>> Gaddafi is a dictator, a very entertaining dictator
>> Current Virals 9/22
>> Six Flags underwater

Antonio Campos' Afterschool has sort of haunted me ever since last year's New York Film Festival, when I didn't bother to see it. Ideally, it's about a socially awkward kid who unwittingly films a murder and he is later warped via the "YouTube Mind-Set" of viral videos and web clips.
Mike D'Angelo and Vadim Rizov discuss it more in depth, including conversations between D'Angelo and the director, here.
The trailer, as far as I can see, sets up the essentials for a pseudo-moody piece involving disenfranchised youth. Fantastic.
Just...it's not what the film is about.
