I'm happy to announce two new additions to our cultural coverage: the launch of HuffPost TV and the re-launch of HuffPost's Book Club.
HuffPost TV is also somewhat of a re-launch -- the site was formerly known as AOL TV. In its new incarnation, HuffPost TV will have many of the same features you've come to know: exclusive interviews and clips, reviews and recaps, the stories behind the scenes of your favorite shows, and TV listings. But now, we're adding HuffPost's powerful blog and community platforms to the mix, giving you an even more comprehensive -- and much more social -- look at everything happening in the world of TV, both onscreen and off.
With series like Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Modern Family, and Game of Thrones, television has definitely entered a new Golden Age -- and with it has come viewer demand for TV coverage that matches the scope...

Here are some articles of interest I’ve sent to my Instapaper this week.
At Script Shadow, Carson Reeves lists the 10 ways he knows he’s reading an amateur script. All of these are quotable, but here’s one:
Boring On-the-nose Dialogue – This is probably the biggest clue that you’re dealing with an amateur. The dialogue is really straightforward and boring. Characters say exactly what they mean: “You make me so angry!’ Characters get way more specific than people in real life would: “I’m going to head over to get a cheeseburger at Portillo’s and then call my mom.” (instead of “I need a chili dog before my stomach starts eating itself.”) There’s no nuance or slang. People talk like robots. There’s no subtext or conflict. Characters aren’t hiding anything from one another (which always makes for interesting dialogue). You need to understand all...

The internet is slowly taking over my life. I've somehow ended up in a place where I'm managing two Twitter accounts, writing for three blogs, acting as webmaster for a website and maintaing a regular posting schedule here on Pajiba. Now, this is not a terrible thing because if I can get good enough at this stuff one day I might get paid to sit at home in my pajamas and play on the internet according to my own schedule and that would be awesome. For now, though, I'm dreading the day that I get a real job and all these various web spaces that I've cultivated get left by the wayside as I have to devote more time per week to doing something that will pay for things like food, shelter, and my crippling addiction to Sephora. Plenty of people have set out to make money on the internet,...

HBO's Friday night political and social chatter show starring host and moderator Bill Maher featured a smart panel and an interesting interview with Sri Lankan rapper M.I.A., who held her own despite Maher's pregnancy weight and Octomom references and constant interruptions about American's woeful geographical knowledge. Maher laid into President Obama, The British, "Superhero" worship in politics, liberals, the financial "sector" and Dick Cheney. Maher took a big swipe at Senate majority leader Harry Reid, calling him a "dusty old dumbass" who perhaps had seen too many Hollywood movies, and the Democrats "pussies" when discussing the Guantanamo detainee conundrum being debated in Washington. (This entire exchange can be found in Panel 2) Maher's panel included professor Simon Johnson,...
