DCist’s highly subjective and hardly comprehensive guide to the most interesting movies playing around town in the coming week. Indie: War/Dance Sometimes you need an antidote before the poison even arrives. Next week Hollywood releases yet another of those diabetic-shock-inducing films about musically gifted youngsters and how they can be an inspiration to us all, designed to make soccer moms everywhere weep into their hankies. One week prior to that, though, comes a documentary from…

This week, Phillyist saw the waters of a landmark fountain run red for a Showtime marketing stunt, the Phils pull ahead, and some serious nostalgia. They also got a chance to review an awesome tribute album, reminded folks to see the King, and appreciated their beautiful skyline. Chicagoist knows what it’s like to like the Cubs. But naming your kid Wrigley Fields? At least they can breathe a little easier now that Grossman’s out and…

Good morning, Washington. As you make your way into work on this fine morning, a note to fans of Canadian super group Stars: “Your Ex-Lover Is Dead”? Good song. “Set Yourself on Fire”? Good song. Setting your ex-lover on fire? Apparently not cool. Attack of the Dubyas: Washington Post Radio (WTWP) is shifting to a “personality driven talk format.” And whose personalities (I hear you cry) will be driven into us courtesy of the once-anodyne…

>> We don’t know about you, but our mom used to tell us if we can’t take care of our own toys, we didn’t deserve them anyway. Which leads us to wonder how the FBI feels about having a cache of weapons and equipment stolen from two cars parked on Capitol Hill Sunday. Now the Feds are working with local authorities to find the pilfered guns. This begs the question: Is it sound policy to…

This entry was written by contributor Ben Clark. D.C. shows its love for politics in many ways, but nothing is quite as wonktastic as waiting in line for a citywide premiere of a documentary about Al Franken. Last Friday I made the trek to the only movie theater in the city that still serves beer for the premiere of God Spoke, sponsored by American Family Voices, to enjoy some Coulter- and Hannity-bashing with inebriated fellow…

Back around the beginning of the year, Wonkette reported that the men’s room over at Media Matters’ Massachusetts Avenue office had reached a level of toxicity so outrageous, that the building management felt compelled to take some time out to yell at one of the organization’s female employees. This prompted a round of company-wide emails which instructed the men, in no uncertain terms, to get their act together. Sadly, in the three months that have…

Courtesy of our friends over at FishBowlDC, we’re getting word that Stephen Colbert is going to be the MC for this year’s White House Correspondents Association Dinner. With a fake news style taken straight from Bill O’Reilly, Colbert has been amusing audiences as of late with his Colbert Report (silent on the t’s, of course — “It’s French, bitch,” exclaims Colbert). Just this week, he happily took credit for his show turning Canada conservative in…

Yesterday on the afternoon drive home, self-anointed “Radio Gods” Don & Mike went on an extended rant about the state of Infinity Radio now that the reign of current “King of All Media” Howard Stern is nearing its end. In six months, Howard leaves the FCC-controlled confines of terrestrial radio for Sirius Satellite, an unsurprising move considering the increasing restrictions placed on him by an increasingly prurient post-Nipplegate media market. With Howard’s departure, Infinity owned…

In the wake of the collapse of WHFS, Infinity sister station 106.7 WJFK has announced that the Sports Junkies, last heard as morning show hosts on HFS, will return to JFK in the 10:30 AM to 2 PM slot today. The move comes as no surprise, as the Junkies had been on JFK for many years, most recently in the timeslot occupied by Ron & Fez. Meanwhile, conservative talk show host Bill O’Reilly will be…
