Venn Diagram Categorizes Reality TV Shows Beautifully

by Eric Limer | 3:00 pm, February 1st

There are a lot of reality shows out there, but curiously –or uncuriously, depending how you look at it — they can be pretty easily stratified into several incestuous categories. You’ve got your “war” shows, and your “swamp” shows, and your mixes and matches. It’s painfully easy to come up with plausible sounding show names like “Ice War Truckers” or “Cheese Road Masters”. In any event, these shows really can be distilled down into some distinct categories, which is exactly what this Venn diagram from the folks at Vulture does, poetically I might add.

Keanu Reeves on Sad Keanu Meme: “Sounds Like Harmless, Good Clean Fun”

Keanu Reeves sat down with NYMag’s Vulture for an interview about his upcoming indie comedy Henry’s Crime, about a toll-booth operator who falls in with bank robbers, goes to jail, gets out, decides to rob the same bank, fall in love with a girl and has to learn to act in a play in order to gain access to the tunnel between the theater and the bank.

Logan Hill: You’re taking over the Internet. Have you seen all the “Sad Keanu” stuff out there?

KR: Oh, that’s funny! No, no, I haven’t seen them.

Borat Booted from Oscars for Fear of Offending James Cameron

by Robert Quigley | 12:04 pm, March 4th

Sacha Baron Cohen, the shapeshifting comedic provocateur behind Borat, Ali G, and Brüno, has been totally cut from the Oscar telecast because producers were afraid his skit might bother James Cameron, Vulture reports.

Cohen’s skit was to have featured him painted blue, dressed as a female Na’vi, and would conclude with him accusing Cameron of fathering his alien love child. The fear was that Cameron might be so offended, he’d walk out of the Oscars:
