  1. Whoever it was that said that "The Avengers" features perhaps the greatest sucker punch in movie history: You were not wrong.
  2. @chicksafire Baby waivers are universally accepted. I had a friend who couldn't talk pop-culture till his daughter was 5, except for "Lost."
  3. Who says all the good ideas are taken? To wit: I believe I'm the first to claim the pseudonym "Marc Arthur Park." For what, I have no idea.
  4. @idislikestephen I did the same thing driving from D.C. to Boston in 2003, only back then, the trip was measured in "Dufftime." #soyesterday
  5. You know that weird guy who's, like, the last guy in the world to finally see "The Avengers"? Well, he's finally seen "The Avengers."
  6. @GarageQueen See: twitter.com/spacecitymarc/…
  7. And thus do I (theoretically) enter an "Idol"-free tweetzone for at least another seven months. You've been very patient. #americanidol
  8. I don't tweet results. But if you already know, here's something I wrote a year ago that still stands: today.msnbc.msn.com/id/42541162/ns… #americanidol
  9. If Phillip loses, the fan narrative will be "Jessica needs it more in order to have a career."
  10. "Up Where We Belong" was far less creepy as a top 2 duet when it was Carrie and Bo, who were both on the same side of 20. #americanidol
  11. @chicksafire Unforch, "Idol" is not alone in that stupidity. But yes, I hate it. "Talk about this thing in our predetermined manner!"
  12. @chicksafire As far as I'm concerned, hers is the only version of "Short People" that the universe needs.
  13. Guns at ten paces with Jennifer Holliday is not going to work out to Jessica Sanchez's advantage in any way. #americanidol
  14. @chicksafire In an awesome way, sure.
  15. The singers' collective shortcomings are never more glaring than when they perform songs by groups famous for their harmonies. #americanidol
  16. "You know what would make my asking my girlfriend to marry me more romantic? Partnering with a jeweler for promotional consideration." #idol
  17. @chicksafire It's getting weirder!
  18. Did Ace Young just name a sponsor for his wedding proposal? #americanidol
  19. I can't articulate just how much I hate it when the judges use this show as a direct platform for their own product. #americanidol
  20. I hate when they treat Randy's limited vocabulary and imagination as an adorable quirk, rather than a woeful liability. #americanidol
