Movie Preview: Emmy Rossum and Zach Gilford in Dare

The trailer for Dare starts out like it's going to be a typical high school flick: three seniors on the verge of graduation (and adulthood) each has his or her identity challenged.

The trailer for Dare starts out like it's going to be a typical high school flick: three seniors on the verge of graduation (and adulthood) each has his or her identity challenged. The three are nice girl Alexa (Emmy Rossum), Ben (Ashley Springer), and bad boy Johnny (Zach Gilford, somehow looking even more adorable than he did in Post Grad). Of course, their emerging identities — being as complicated as they are — muddle each relationship. Rossum, channeling Rachel from Glee, plays a precocious good girl trying to go bad surprisingly well, and both guys' roles look to hold some depth. Add in supporting players like Alan Cumming, Ana Gasteyer, and Sandra Bernhard, and you have my attention.

Bored at Work? Not Anymore!

The weekday rat race can get a little mind-numbing sometimes, especially mid-afternoon when lunch has passed and five o'clock ain't really around the corner.

The weekday rat race can get a little mind-numbing sometimes, especially mid-afternoon when lunch has passed and five o'clock ain't really around the corner. So, what to do? Make an ass of yourself, of course! Whether the office needs an amusing diversion or you're simply plain bored, here's a list of to-dos that might liven things up a bit, or get you canned, but whatev. A little free time never hurt anybody. . .

  • While riding in an elevator, gasp dramatically every time the doors open.
  • Walk sideways to the photocopier.
  • Shout random numbers while someone is counting.
  • Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle.
  • After every sentence, say "Mon" in a really bad Jamaican accent. As in "The report's on your desk, Mon." Keep this up for one hour.
  • While an office mate is out, move their chair into the elevator.
  • Come to work in army fatigues and when asked why, say, "I can't talk about it."
  • Posing as a maitre d', call a colleague and tell him that he's won a lunch for four at a local restaurant. Let him go.
  • Speak with an accent (French, German, Porky Pig, etc.) during a very important conference call.
  • Repeat the following conversation ten times to the same person: "Do you hear that?" "What?" "Never mind, it's gone now."
  • During the course of a meeting, slowly edge your chair towards the door.

To Touch Or Not To Touch...

Maury Povich put pickle and peach phobias on the map, but a radio show decided to put small vermin phobias (which are quite legitimate, if you ask me) to the test.

Maury Povich put pickle and peach phobias on the map, but a radio show decided to put small vermin phobias (which are quite legitimate, if you ask me) to the test. I haven't a clue why this woman agreed to endure such a scare tactic...but "quiet as a mouse" certainly wasn't her coping style. Too bad the radio listeners missed out on the visual of her literally climbing the walls in terror.
