I know absolutely nothing about "The Host", other than no man, especially Ebert, should have to sit through a Stephanie Meyer movie adaptation anything as one of the last movies he reviewed. Given, he's the kind of guy who gets was paid to watch movies like that, but every guy has at least one horror story of having to watch Twilight/Sex & the City/Mama Mia/Sisterhood of the Unwashed Pants/Whatever.
Mine was simple. I live with three guys in a four bedroom apartment in college. One came out as gay, while the other two "just really like Twilight and High School Musical 2". One day I was watching Blade 3 in the living room, when one of the latter roommates walks in and says "Brah, if you like the Blade movies, you should totally check out the Twilight movie that just came out. The vampires in it are f*ckin' awesome." Knowing nothing about Twilight yet, I decided to stream it online through a less-than-trustable website, like the ones half of you watch Game of Thrones on. I watched a solid hour of lip biting, emotionless acting, Looney Toons-esque CGI running, and chunks of awkward silence. I asked if the movie was going to get any better. "Soon, brah. Real soon. There's a huge fight scene coming up." The vampires played baseball and then had a fight where one mirror was broken. Then they kiss....a lot.
There was no girl I was taking out on a date. There was no payment for watching it. There was a bro. A bro who really, really liked abstinence vampire porn where the female protaginist shows zero emotion or interest in anything.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that we'll see you at the movies, Ebert. R.I.P.

I will never understand you guys. Not to generalize you as a crowd, but your relationship with questions that have anything to do with children's...well, anything (books, movies, holiday cartoons, whatever) is an interesting one. You receive mixed scores for rounds about The Wizard of Oz and Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, yet you still answer literature questions with Nancy Drew and Goosebumps. You are certainly a difficult crowd to write questions for. Be proud of that.
Thanks for braving the sleet and the rain for coming out tonight! We had an above average turn out for such cruddy weather...
Okay, time to admit something: if I start blogging about the weather then that's an indication that I have no idea what to blog about this week. What can I possibly say about this quiz besides pointing out the subtle holocaust reference in round 6 pretaining to midgets? Nobody needs to blog about the weather. That's what your facebook friends are for. "Girl from high school is 'IT'S SNOWWWWWING OMG!!'" There's only so much of that one sane person can take. 1. You probably live in different states, let alone climates by now and 2. We own windows, we know what the weather is and don't need facebook to tell us.
I digress. We have a QUIZ FOR THE CAUSE coming up in a couple weeks. I'll reveal the first charity we're playing for this summer next week! Get psyched!
(Or you can surf around the webpage here and do some sluething to figure out who that charity is. Have at it.)

EDIT: Scores should be fixed now. The website apparently does NOT like it when more than a couple teams have half-a-point anything in their final scores. Sorry about that. Scores were rounded down if they had half a point and did not affect the standings of any teams at the end of the night.
