Since you’re already at The Modern Museum of Art on 3200 Darnell St. in Fort Worth checking out Ron Mueck’s giant naked people exhibit, at 5 p.m. Saturday, see Patrice Leconte’s comedy My Best Friend too. In the movie (probably starring Jerry Lewis), an antique dealer refuses to believe that…
Lunch Special: $3.95 for an entrée and two sides. A/C count: 0 Rumor that Bonnie and Clyde met here count: 1 I almost walked right past the Record Grill. No, not because it’s so scary from the outside that you think crossing the threshold of the building could give you…
Stein Mart’s slogan is “Once you go, you get it.” And they’re right. The first time I went to Stein Mart I was like, “Oh, I get it. It’s for Moms.” Your mom totally goes there, sporting her mom pants and her mom shirt and trying on some nice momcessories…
Gene Hackman is a supreme badass. He’s The Man. He’s so The Man that his name has the word “man” in it. Let him play any character in any movie and the character instantly becomes a badass whether or not you even wrote the character that way. Gene Hackman is…

Shakespearean Death Match confuses me. I get that there are 16 characters all battling it out to see who is the Shakespeareanest. I get that you can place actual bets on the outcomes for a chance to win kickin’ prizes. And I get that seeing man parts in tights is…

At 8:30 p.m. Saturday, get your Hamiltons together and come see Mandy Patinkin: In Concert (featuring Paul Ford tickling the ivories) for a fund-raising gala to support Casa Mañana’s arts education programs at (you guessed it) Casa Mañana Theatre, 3101 W. Lancaster Ave. in Fort Worth. Mandy will be singing,…
11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday, see Paula Deen Live 2007! presented by Smithfield Foods at the Music Hall at Fair Park, 909 First Ave. Paula Deen should be cooking and teaching people how to get more out of their time in the kitchen, but because it’s at the Music…
Vern’s Place looks exactly like the kind of place my mom doesn’t want me to visit. So, I went. Well, I drove past it for a week and then I went. With some friends. For some reason, the barred windows made it seem a little unwelcoming. But the sign on…
At 7 p.m. Sunday at Pizza Hut Park, 6000 Main St. in Frisco, Nickelback performs (with Daughtry and Puddle of Mudd). And I got the interview. Me: So, Nickelback, are there any plans in the works for you to stop singing like a constipated goat? Nickelback: How the hell’d we…
I’ve been eyeing the Mr. BBQ bus in the convenience store parking lot at Maple and Wycliff avenues for a while. With its American flag and “2 for $2 sides” signs painted all over it, it’s pretty awesome-looking. And cheap-sounding. As I walked up, I noticed pretty quickly that nobody…
If I had a friend that ever acted like my pets act, I’d give that friend a good talking to, followed swiftly by a good face slapping. I’ve never had a friend pee on my carpet just because he was stressed. No friend of mine has told me he liked…
The only place you can get cotton candy and really enjoy it (because it tastes so much better in its natural habitat) is at the circus. Cotton candy at the circus almost makes you forget that animals are being tortured and that clowns are the scariest invention ever. The moment…
From 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. this Saturday, Demure Models is hosting a car wash at Sonic (America’s Drive-in!) on 8092 Ferguson Road. I’m sure that this is the most American thing happening anywhere on the planet all weekend. You got burgers, fries, sundaes, dirty trucks, six-packs (of the abdominal…

Gaglileenhel. Jalillenjal. Gellinlikeafelonhal. I still have no idea how the stink to pronounce his name, but that Jake kid is pretty awesome. And not just because he’s dirty hot. He’s got a really impressive range as an actor: He’s played a pensive and somewhat depressed love interest in The Good…
Kung fu is cool. As long as you always say you’re defending yourself, you get to kick as many asses as you want. Plus, you get to speak out of sync with the voiceover and you get rewarded with accessories. Sunday at 10 a.m. see the 10th Annual 2007 International…
At 8 p.m. this Saturday, Brookhaven College, 3939 Valley View Lane in Farmers Branch (bring your papers), is putting on a stage production of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman’s Little Shop of Horrors in the School of the Arts Performance Hall (Building C), and you should go see it. It’s…
Clay Aiken’s latest CD, A Thousand Different Ways, showcases the thousand different ways you can shit on music. It starts crapping immediately with 10 covers. Of love songs. Including Bryan Adams’ “Everything I Do (I Do It for You).” Then, it takes a big dump when Clay’s backup band turns…
Hair is weird. Hair on your head is supposed to be grown long, hair anywhere else is supposed to be shaved off, and hair that’s found its way off of your body but not into the trashcan is instantly gross. Get one of those stray hairs in your mouth and…
