What’s On at Flavorpill: The Links That Made the Rounds in Our Office

+

Today at Flavorpill, we couldn’t believe how adorable elementary school-age Kanye was. Don’t you just want to pinch his cheeks? We got inside of Sarah Palin’s head thanks to New Yorker editor Ben Greenman and the pseudo science of phrenology. We saw proof that Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino is the savviest cat lady of all time. We liked Splitsider’s list of comedies that people need to stop quoting from forever immediately. We looked at teeny tiny versions of some of our favorite TV series. We were totally impressed by Hasegawa Yosuke’s money portrait origami — particularly his Abraham Lincoln. We got a kick out of this holiday-appropriate supercut of all of the Ned scenes from Groundhog Day. We reviewed the album covers of Britney Spears only to discover a common thread: they’re all poorly designed. We got excited about the trailer for Win Win, a new film from the director of The Station Agent that stars Paul Giamatti and Amy Ryan. We cooed over photos of animals in the snow. And finally, we got our hands on the 2011 SXSW Film Festival lineup — or at least of most of it. Are you planning to head to Austin this year?

+

In case you haven’t noticed, it has been an extremely slow day in an extremely slow week for cultural news (blame it on the fact that most publicists get Christmas to New Year’s Day off). Luckily, we just stumbled upon an exciting gem — Michael Ausiello’s last-minute best of TV 2008 list on EW.com. It’s just in time and it’s chock full of surprises! And shout outs to The Shield! And Ugly Betty! And there’s no Tina Fey anywhere! It’s crazy! (Sorry, too much caffeinating in preparation for tonight’s festivities.)

Before we spoil all the fun, check out his expert picks, along with our common man commentary in bold, after the jump.
