The real title of this movie is Män som hatar kvinnor which translates to Men Who Hate Women but it is known in the US as The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It’s based on the book of the same name that I reviewed yesterday.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is a book by the late Swedish writer Steig Larsson. It is the story of a financial journalist who winds up in a career freefall and is offered the job of looking into the case of a missing girl that is over 30 years old, during the course of the case he meets a strange but alluring girl and the two wind up partnering to solve what is more than either originally expected.
We’re only 5 episodes into this season, but for some reason it seems so much more than that doesn’t it? Last week’s “Next on…” seemed to promise an episode focusing a lot on Erika and also some Josh getting into girl trouble. Last week’s “Next on…” lied. I am very angry Real World. I wanted a ton of Erika and you gave me more Emily and Ty crap? Not even new Emily and Ty stuff but the same stuff that’s been said in every other episode just again? I hate you Real World. I hate you so hard. So yeah there’s a lot of Emily and Ty being Emily and Ty and not adding anything new to that story at all so I’m gonna not recap them in this episode. I hope no one has a problem with that. If you do, go read the recaps of the other episodes and you’ll have the same stuff as is here. Repeated ad nauseum. Also for the very first time on Media Decay I’m gonna try to bring you some video on this post. Let me know if it’s working alright for you.
The episode starts with Josh talking to his girlfriend Ashley. She misses him and is apparently coming to visit soon. Josh confesses she came along at a time in his life where he was losing everything and just made it better.
I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell is based on the book
Time for this week’s Friday Night Lights recap. This week is episode 10, entitled I Can’t. It’s a perfect title for this great episode that shows off some tremendous acting skills from both Michael B. Jordan (Vince Howard aka Juvie) and Madison Burge (Becky). Also Alicia Witt is back this week and she’s more than just looking pretty. Before we get started remember to so you can support this site and these recaps. I’m working on trying to incorporate video clips for the final 3 episodes of the season, so keep your fingers crossed. Basically there are 2 important stories in this episode. So I’m gonna try to write about those and I’m gonna try to keep this recap short. Instead of going chronologically and jumping around I’m just going to go through the various plotlines. Let’s start with Virgil.
Yay time for another recap of The Real World: D. C. Episode 4 is actually mostly what was promised to us in the “Next On…” last week. It’s also a welcome break from Emily & Ty all the time.
So the episode starts off rather confusingly at a pool. I’m all like are they showing the wrong season or something? What did I miss? Turns out it’s a hotel pool that they’re all hanging at. Then it’s dark 2 seconds later and they’re still at the pool. But now Andrew is making out with some girl.
Emily confesses she sometimes thinks he’s a virgin because he has no game and doesn’t know how to interact with girls properly. 2 seconds later he’s trying to hook up with another girl, then the first girl is like “that’s my best friend” and they both storm off.
It’s time again for another recap of The Real World D. C. This is the 3rd episode and sorry for the delay but I practically had to hack into MTV to get screengrabs for this. So here we go.
We were lead to believe by last week’s “next week on” that this week would be all about Emily and Ty, but we were lied to! In fact this episode is all about self image, specifically female self image issues and dealing with that. But we’ll have some serious discussion of that a little later on.
If you remember last time we left our Real Worlders Ty and Emily were mid-coitus. This episode picks up the next morning. Emily and Ty are messing around on the computer upstairs and Erika, Andrew, and Ashley are in Andrew & Emily’s room. Andrew says she slept in the room last night. This leads to awesomeness from Erika:
She must not be one of those girls who likes to cuddle after getting fucked.
Ka-pow! Ashley says the proof is that she’s happy today. In the after show we learned Ashley also heard “noises” during the night. When asked outright this is the faces they make:
Another week another Friday Night Lights recap. This weeks episode is very “save the rec center”-esque. There’s some great stuff though. Alright so let’s get going and learn all about Carroll Park.
The episode starts with Vince (Juvie) applying for a job.
This doesn’t go so well because he’s been arrested a whole bunch of times. But there’s a lot going on in the beginning of this episode so let’s quickly move to the next scene.
What’s that? Becky is on the phone with the pregnancy test company asking how reliable the tests are? Uh oh. The good news for her is they tell her she should take another test cause sometimes they’re not accurate. Also can you actually phone the manufacturer of pregnancy tests to ask them things like this?
Umm… Oops. Looks like Becky is in trouble. In the meantime Coach is out in East Dillon (aka the ghetto) looking for one of his players who hasn’t shown up for a few practices. He’s told to look in Carroll Park. Apparently Carroll Park is not a very nice place however. Oh also we’re back to the whole East Dillon is the worst place on earth thing again. I thought we were over this.
Sherlock Holmes is the latest movie from director Guy Ritchie and stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, and Rachel McAdams. It’s based on the classic Sherlock Holmes
McAdams as Irene Adler

Human Target is a new show on Fox based off of the DC comic of the same name. In the comic version Christopher Chance is a private detective that impersonates his clients to protect them. In the TV version he merely poses as someone close to them (like an interpreter for example). He does this to draw threats to the client out in the open where he can more effectively deal with them.
