Sure you've all seen Sarah Silverman's "I'm F@#king Matt Damon" video, but have you seen Jimmy Kimmel's response? It's fantastic, just ask Don Cheadle.

Today in the snackie cupboard at work I found "organic cheesies". How could cheesies ever be organic? There's absolutely nothing natural about them.

I think I can confidently say that Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I'd also like to say that I only watched it against my will.
