Flavorwire

Today at Flavorpill, we wondered why Daniel Craig is giving Rooney Mara a piggyback ride on the cover of this week’s Entertainment Weekly (seriously, we only imagine Lisbeth Salander being OK with that scenario if it was reversed). We thought that having the Muppets host the Oscars was a great idea — if only for the Statler and Waldorf commentary. We felt sorry for the more than 700 Twihards who are already waiting in line to see the cast of Breaking Dawn at the film’s premiere in LA on Monday. We considered having a Thanksgiving spread that consists entirely of cupcakes this year. We were happy to see the Olsens land their first cover of Vogue, and for the special edition “Best Dressed” issue to boot. We discovered that back in 1996, Whit Stillman directed an episode of Homicide. We wanted to plaster our walls with these hilarious teeny-bopper posters of a young Jason Bateman. We were curious how much rent we’d have to pay to live in this amazing treehouse in Brooklyn. And finally, we traveled back in time thanks to this video compilation of deaths from old school video games. Ah, to be young and really bad at Space Invaders again…
