Looking back on a week in which we licked it for $10 …
• Despite all the things Zack Snyder got right, his Watchmen movie inspired a backlash. At least Dr. Manhattan’s wang got good reviews. Mostly.
• We heroically made it all the way to the end of D.T. Max’s New Yorker profile on David Foster Wallace, but we’re still worried about The Pale King.
• We worried about Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and so did Jimmy Fallon. And so did Twitter.
• McG stayed classy.
• Judd Apatow answered the call of the Internet. Or so we thought.
• The Bachelor was awesome.
• Rock beef got out of control.
• Jimmy Fallon got a little better — by underhanded means?!? Then he turned to alcohol.
• Ghostface did the right thing.
• Sawyer and Jimmy Barrett joined the Dharma Initiative.
• So did Lonny Ross!
• The blind guy made it, even if his voice isn’t that much better than this guy’s.
• The CW got off on a technicality.
• U2 announced a new album, possibly too soon.
• Dwight gave us TMI.
• There were unsnobby art shows! And nobody sold a thing.
• Lil Wayne practiced.
• We speculated on the origins of the four-toed statue.
• Poster Boy’s accomplice got canned.
