The eagle-eyed among you might have noticed the words all over campus: hidden in plain sight on cluttered bulletin boards, or scribbled onto bathroom cubicles and sidewalks. I tacked on some posters of Moriarty myself. The campaign can be seen worldwide as a real-life tribute modeled after the viral marketing of “Who Killed Amanda Palmer,” from a few years ago.

I love pop music. Pop music as in, yes, that is autotuned. Pop music as in, yes, those choruses consisting of “oh na na,” or “boom,” almost exclusively. Pop music as in hip hop, rap, rave, dance, disko, pop. I love it.

As the coming of spring signals a time for “out with the old, in with the new,” we’ve got a run-down of televisions newest additions.
Smash, which premieres Feb. 6 on NBC after the Superbowl, is a new show about the hard-scrabble lives of actors, writers and directors on Broadway. With the full force of executive producer Steven Spielberg behind it, Smash is poised to become the new break-out hit of the spring TV season.

Golden Globes: Jan. 15
Like it or not, from the beginning of January until the end of February, news media surrenders to the crazed award season chatter. Newspapers, blogs, websites and TV programs are all inundated with news of nominations and red carpet fashion. And although both television and music industries have a stake in this hysteria, the real winners of the season are those in the movie industry.

It’s no secret that I am a professed Harry Potter fanatic. I’m certain many of you reading this are; I know I am not alone in thinking that Mount Holyoke bears a striking resemblance to Hogwarts. The depths of my love for the universe rendered by the magnificent Jo Rowling, though, do not end with the closure of a book or a tear shed during a film.

I never really pay attention to a movie’s rating. When I see a trailer, I direct my attention to the story or familiar actors, and then determine whether I would be willing to spend seven dollars to go see it. We are all familiar with the ratings system, which was constructed by the Motion Picture Association of America.

Where on campus can you find a place to create, study and collect art? One place is the Art Building, located between the Eliot House and the Class of 1904 Garden. Plaster casts of Greek and Roman sculptures occupy the wall space on the stairwells that connect the third floor studio space to the second floor classroom space to the first floor museum and large lecture hall.

Growing up is no fun. And for every responsible citizen who accepts this fate with quiet grace, there is the person who refuses to grow up and makes trouble for the rest of us. The dynamic of the reliable guy and the free-wheeling party animal is widely employed in Hollywood films like Rush Hour and Men in Black. However, no series of films takes better advantage of the possibilities of this sub-genre, the “buddy flick,” than the Harold and Kumar trilogy. Uptight Harold and his best friend, perpetually stoned Kumar, embark on the third of their riotous adventures in this holiday season’s A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas.
