What do tantrums, sperm, blockbuster movies and Betty White have in common?


Ironically enough, TMMC's least favorite day of the week is Monday.  Soon I'll start limbering up for my temper tantrum tomorrow morning - remember, it's very important to stretch before you start kicking and screaming.  Sure, the tantrum will be just as alarming to your neighbors, but your legs and thighs will thank you for it later.  But I digress.

Knock knock - "housekeeping!"  Ah yes, Maria  is here to help take care of some housekeeping for us.  Let's help her out, shall we?  So TMMC has hit twitter as TMMCritic - be sure to follow me for the latest TMMC announcements and news.  Recommendation of the day - consider following ebertchicago on Twitter as well, yes as in Siskel and Ebert.  Sure, your twitter feed will be flooded with tweets from him, but a good 90% are well worth it.  This weekend I learned Brad and Angelina filed for separation, Andy Dick was arrested after grabbing a bouncer's balls in West Virginia (least shocking news of 2010) and intense males have the best sperm.  Yeah, I thought the last one was a bit odd too.

Also, when you get a chance, vote in the TMMC Poll for your favorite highest grossing movie of all time.  All of them cost a fortune to make, all of them made a fortune for many people, and none of them starred Keanu Reeves - but which one was actually worth it?  Poll closes next Saturday and you'll have to wait till then to see my pick.

While you were out Saturday night, Hollywood actors convened yet again to talk about how much they love themselves, this time under the auspice of the 16th SAG Awards.  In case you're confused, the SAGs are not for female actors over the age of 65, but rather stands for Screen Actors Guild.  About 120,000 actor union members voted for their favorite performances of the last year, giving republicans yet another reason to hate unions.  TMMC missed out on the live airing but I'm sure we can catch it again when Bravo reairs it 20 times this week.

The only shocker to note was the fact that Avatar and Up in the Air weren't even nominated for best performance by a cast in a motion picture, making room for Inglorious Bastards to take the award.  Will scalping Nazis pull out an Oscar upset?  The acting categories mimicked the Golden Globes in nearly every category, including Drew Barrymore's win for best actress in a TV movie for Grey Gardens, a TMMC fav.  It seems that the Oscar acting honorees are squared away early, though rumor has it Meryll Streep is still giving Sandy B a run for her money as she hasn't won an Oscar in more than 27 years.  Will Julia Child help her bring home the bacon?  See a full list of SAG award winners.

One woman well overdue for a lifetime achievement award was Betty White.  Thankfully, she was honored Saturday night and responded with a great acceptance speech that included feeling up Sandy B.  Sandy's getting a lot of action this award season - first she made out with Meryll Streep, now a Golden Girl's copping a feel - you go Glenn Coco! 

So now that you're ready for the week, go hook yourself up to your coffee I.V.  Hopefully we can help each other ease our Monday morning pains together.  Stay tuned for tomorrow's review of A Single Man!
