Around the Internet: Easter Edition

We'll be back after Easter, but here are a few not-so-movie-related things we're enjoying over break to keep you entertained in the mean time.

We hope everyone has a great holiday!

I get that Aaron Sorkin isn't everyone's cup o' Joe, but I appreciate a well-timed witticism. The Newsroom has all of the hallmarks of Sorkin's writing style -- including the oft mimicked "walk and talk" -- but what I love the most about this show is that it makes me feel hope for America. The opening sequence in particular gets me in all the right feels. Does that mean I'm easily manipulated? Eh. As a Communication major, I love seeing news greats like Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite in the opening sequence. Yay, patriotism! 

Also, it inexplicably reminds me of The Buttercream Gang. Homeschooling? Anyone? Just Me? OK, then. 

* Bonus: The voice of Eric Neal in the first episode is provided by Jesse Eisenberg, with whom Sorkin had just finished working on The Social Network. It's an uncredited performance; I only picked it up because I had recently watched Eisenberg in all his Zuckerberg-ness. Here's a great interview with Sorkin about the show (and he confirms that it was indeed Eisenberg).

Speaking of Heisenberg (ish), crime truly doesn't pay, even for a supervillain with a name like Xavier McAfee. Apparently, good ol' Xavier busted Brian Cranston's car window, stole a bag with a script and some other goodies, and bragged about  it to friends at his local watering hole. For real? It's like his parents wanted him to commit petty crimes against fictional drug lords. All he's missing is the lair and surly lap kitty. Fortunately a do-gooder overheard his story and reported the crime, although the script is still out there.  Just turn away from the spoilers, people. Nothing to see here.

You might have heard that JT is breaking ALL TEH RECORDS of late, but just because he's married doesn't mean he can't also break some hearts. Target released a special edition of his album The 20/20 Experience (with 2 additional tracks), and invited superfans to sing the song "Mirrors" for a promotional commercial. They were happy to just get dolled up and sing some songs, but then Timberlake snuck up and surprised them all, to hilarious results. "Don't look at me. Don't you look at me." Thanks, Target!

(You can also see the final version of the commercial here.)
