Tiger Wood, after driving but before spitting.

Oh Tiger.  When you made your comeback from an adultery scandal, you promised to clean up your act and lighten up on the course.  For awhile, you did okay, but that didn’t last too long.  At the Dubai Desert Classic this week, Tiger Woods cursed and spit on the greens and was rude to fans off the greens, thereby reinstating himself as the number one biggest jerk in golf.  At least he’s number one in something, right?

“It’s not nice, it’s not the way it should be,” said Denis Pugh, a swing coach to several professional golfers.  ”It brings the game into disrepute in a way that youngsters watching Tiger Woods rightly think he’s a great player and a great champion and thinking it’s ok to do something that it is actually not ok to do.  You shouldn’t be spitting on the green.  Apart from how bad it looks, you’ve left a deposit on the green that others may or may not have to walk on or putt through.  It’s just not right.  It’s horrible really.”

Is this display of disgust appropriate given that it’s outdoors and not on a basketball court or something?  Perhaps not, but considering golfers usually care for the greens like they’re caring for a loved one, then perhaps so.

Tommy Jordan, an IT consultant, is the father of a 15-year-old daughter.  Like most teenagers, young Hannah Jordan turned to Facebook to vent her frustrations.  Unfortunately for Hannah, her father is a freaking IT consultant.  Hannah’s history of venting on Facebook has gotten her into trouble before, and despite being grounded for it in the [...]

Blake Griffin is an athletic freak of nature.  He’s one of the best jumpers in the NBA in years, and since he’s already nearly 7 feet tall, his freakish leaping ability and very long arms make him one of the hardest players in the NBA to guard.  And that’s before you give him an All-Star [...]

When it comes to the first couple of geekdom, nobody resonates stronger with their audience than Joseph Gordon-Levitt and everyone’s favorite singing actress, Zooey Deschanel.  Whatever you want to say about the two, there’s no denying they’re adorable together, they’re close friends, and they’re both talented people.  That’s why Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt singing [...]

When it comes to fantasy worlds, no one’s done it quite as well as J.R.R. Tolkien.  When it comes to adapting Tolkien’s work to the big screen, no one’s done it quite like Peter Jackson.  He’s the only person to pull off live action Tolkien, and he’s probably the only person I would want attempting [...]

The original film of The Expendables was a great moviegoing experience.  Sure, it’s not a smart movie, but what it had was a sense of fun, crazy action, and some of the biggest names to ever pick up a gun and quip while killing hordes of people.  I mean, seriously; it had Sylvester Stallone AND [...]

It’s tough to make a movie about toys, be they mach toys or an action version of My Little Pony.  Unless you’re doing a flick about creepy toys, adapting a real-world toy line to the big screen is difficult at best.  However, the first GI Joe movie–GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra–was a fairly successful [...]

You take a bunch of college kids, stick them in a cabin, and cue the menacing force out to kill them.  Be it rednecks, disease, zombies, vampires, or whatever, going to a secluded cabin for a weekend of drinking and smoking and sex is a bad idea in movies, right?  Right.  However, just because you [...]
