Seemingly always-surprised prophesier Harold Camping may have finally realized the old adage “If at first you don’t succeed…” doesn’t necessarily apply to him. After two fake-outs regarding the end of days (his first Rapture prediction was back in May and then rescheduled for October) Camping apologized once more to his followers in a Family Radio address on Oct. 28.

ChristianPost.com posted a transcript of Camping’s apology (which is for the best, because in my head it sounded something like this) in which he stated, “Why didn’t Christ return on Oct. 21? It seems embarrassing for Family Radio. But God was in charge of everything. We came to that conclusion after quite careful study of the Bible. He allowed everything to happen the way it did without correction. He could have stopped everything if He had wanted to.” READ FULL STORY »

Horror movies are supposed to be scary. If you walk away from a scary movie with an emotional scar or a terrifying new phobia, you have no one to blame but yourself. But there’s a special subsection of cinematic horror reserved for scary movie sequences in non-horror movies. These are the scenes that snuck out of nowhere to frighten you, suddenly emerging in the middle of thrilling adventure or comedic hijinks. Scenes like the transporter malfunction in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, or the diner scene in Mulholland Drive. In the new episode of The No Doctor Cop Lawyer Show, we discuss some of our favorite out-of-nowhere scary sequences. Watch the video, and tell us some of your favorites in the comments!

Bernie Madoff is going to die in prison. But for many people, that’s not enough for the man who swindled billions in an unprecedented Ponzi scheme that shocked the world at the height of the financial meltdown. Three years later, the Madoff family is now talking. In an interview on this Sunday’s 60 Minutes, his now-estranged wife Ruth says that she and Bernie attempted suicide on Christmas Eve after his arrest. “I don’t know whose idea it was, but we decided to kill ourselves because it was so horrendous what was happening,” she told Morley Safer. “We had terrible phone calls, hate mail … and I said I just can’t go on anymore.”

The couple downed handfulls of pills and then… woke up in the morning. “It was very impulsive, and I’m glad we woke up,” she concluded. Watch below: READ FULL STORY »

'Paranormal Activity': Still scary midday, in your office, with the lights on and door open?

by
Tags: , , , Movies

Paranormal Activity 3 has arrived in theaters to a glowing A- review from EW. An A- is impressive for any sequel, let alone a third film in a horror franchise. The last non-vampire horror movie I saw in theaters was Scream 3 in 2000. As a single woman who lives alone, enjoys sleep, has an active imagination and a history of needing to move the VHS copy of The Exorcist to her roommate’s side of the room after watching it in college, I just don’t need to risk it. But again, the latest review intrigued me, and so, in the safety of my office, in midday, with the lights on and the door open, I decided to watch the first film on Netflix. Is it still scary?  READ FULL STORY »

It's the end of the world as we know it (again) and we feel fine (again): Sorry, Harold Camping!

Harold Camping is nothing if not a man of his word. When he says the apocalypse is going to happen, he means it will happen… eventually… at some point.

If you recall, Camping’s first Judgment Day prediction indicated we were all going to meet our fiery, Bruckheimer-y end on May 21, 2011. To the untrained eye, it would appear as though we all survived. But, as Camping explained, that date was merely an “invisible judgment day.” (How sad. We hope you’re in a better place now, Hologram Will.I.Am.) The real Rapture, as it turns out, is happening tomorrow, October 21, which just so happens to be one day after the Jersey Shore finale and falls out on Kim Kardashian’s birthday. Coincidence?! Yeah, probably. READ FULL STORY »

'Law & Order: SVU': T. R. Knight's creepy return to television

The last time we saw him on our TV sets, T. R. Knight was playing Grey’s Anatomy‘s beloved Dr. George O’Malley before he met an untimely end in 2009. In his first television role since (he’s been continuing a successful stage career), Knight plays somewhat against type: George O’Malley was the bumbling, baby-faced surgeon with a nervous smile and horrible luck with women; his latest character, Gabriel Thomas from last night’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, is an alleged (SPOILER ALERT!) “power-reassurance serial rapist” with a neck tattoo — sure, the tat is of a yin-yang symbol — but still, a neck tattoo pretty much never screams “nice guy.” Gabriel sure looks like George, but that’s where the similarities end. Like George, Gabriel’s into blonds, but only of the submissive variety — that would certainly exclude Izzie Stevens. READ FULL STORY »

Phoenix Jones becomes latest superhero to be undone by bad dancing

by
Tags: , , , ,

If you’re a superhero long enough, sooner or later the populace that prospers under your protection will turn against you. It’s happened to all the greats: Batman, Mr. Incredible, and now Phoenix Jones. The clearly jealous Seattle police have arrested the masked vigilante — who was so good at his job that no one even knew he existed until he got a publicist and a Facebook page — for assaulting two citizens with pepper spray on Sunday morning. Jones insists he was just doing his duty, breaking up a fight, but the police claimed that the two victims were just “dancing and having a good time.” (Were they doing the Batusi?) The cops have added insult to injury by unmasking their only rival in protecting Seattle from bad dancing, revealing that Phoenix Jones is really just mild-mannered husband and father of two, Benjamin Francis. Watch the news clip below. READ FULL STORY »

Monsters are nothing special on Supernatural. Over six seasons, we’ve encountered the ugliest uglies, the baddest baddies and, let’s face it, some really disgusting things. But last night’s premiere chilled me to the bone like no episode ever has. [Spoilers from here on. Beware.] READ FULL STORY »

'American Horror Story' website warns YoureGoingToDieInThere.com. Check it out... at your own risk!

by
Tags: , , , , , Television

The website for the chilling new series American Horror Story is called YoureGoingToDieInThere.com. Sure, it doesn’t have quite the same easygoing panache as, say Facebook.com, and it sounds like it could also possibly be a thinly veiled threat from Tamar Braxton, but it’s still a pretty cool site.

Upon entering the site, visitors are informed they can “go behind closed doors to discover the secrets of the American Horror Story house” where you’ll find “artifacts of murder, lust, perversion, and betrayal.” (So, sorta just like your Sims house!) After a stop at the mailbox (you can sign up to have trinkets sent to you via email or snail mail to unlock parts of the website), you’ll be greeted by ghost children, Jessica Lange, and a man on fire who crawls up into the fireplace. Hey, you can’t say they didn’t warn you. This website is called YoureGoingToDieInThere.com, after all. READ FULL STORY »
