Troll Dolls: The Movie. Seriously.

Remember those hideous looking Troll dolls from the '60's?  Troll Dolls, Leprocauns, Dam Dolls, Gonks, Wishniks, Treasure Trolls, or Norfins?  Ugly little bastards, is what they were.  An ugly fad that never seemed to go away completely.  They made comebacks in every subsequent decade, for some reason, but they never got any cuter.  But they were just dolls.  Dolls made to scare the bejesus out of kids for no particular reason. 

Their decades-long trendiness is apparently enough to warrant a movie deal. 

Silly Bandz Bans?

 Did you know that Silly Bandz were a thing? Because I've been wearing them in my hair for a couple of months now and I had no idea.  

Of course you did, didn't you? 

Is a five-year old going to cut me for my pig? 

That sounds all kinds of wrong. 

In The Land of Lego, Walk Softly And Carry A Big Gun

I remember when we were younger, our parents got us a pile of little gifts for Christmas and one big thing.  Some years, when times were good, it was "big" in the sense of dollar value.  Some years dictated a tighter budget and our "big" gift was simply large in size.  Others, it was both.  But one year, my gift was a giant, 25 gallon Rubbermaid container filled with LEGO.  It was the greatest gift in history. 

Review: The Karate Kid

Movie remakes are a tricky thing. Good intentions may be behind all of them, to recreate something classic as an homage to the original, but often egos and misguided artistic visions pervert things along the way.

Miley Cyrus' Camel Toe (I Was Going to Be More Subtle About It, But Why Beat Around the Bush)

I am going to be very up front and honest and confess that I am irritated by Miley Cyrus. I don't mean her personally, of course, because who of us even knows who that is. I mean her celebrity-making-the-news self. Also, I am feeling pretty cranky, which makes me even more prone to Miley-related irritation, so, bear that in mind when I show you the latest in my personal list of yucky Miley Cyrus moments...

Are TV Moms Crazier than Their Real-Life Counterparts?

Like it or not, TV has become ingrained in our culture and both reflects and propels how we view ourselves and our lives. Since parenting and family is such a huge part of life, TV will undoubtedly have something to say about how those aspects of life change over time.

The Bad Moms Club Still Doesn't Know How To Solve A Rubik's Cube

 Hey cats and kittens! Have you been following our sister site The Bad Moms Club? Here's what you've missed this week:

Thundercats, ho! Thundercats are go! Cartoon Network has announced that it has commissioned a new version of 1980s animated series Thundercats. Mrow! Or something.

With Toy Story 3 set to be released on June 18th, Disney/Pixar would like to introduce us to Ken.  Barbie's longtime arm candy, Ken gives us a tour of his Dream House, followed by an in-depth, emotionally revealing, interview. 

You know what pisses me off? The baby bump watch.

Redbook Magazine nearly wet itself this week. The headline in the "Hot Husbands Issue" reads: "5 Kids & No Nanny: How Chris O'Donnell Does It".

 And I totally mean that as a completely serious question.

 Just say it - if you have to watch Dora the Explorer find the chocolate tree one more time you are going to completely lose your mind.

The world's okay, but it would be so much better if we had seven to nine year old girls bootie dancing in lingerie to Beyonce's Single Ladies.
