Annoying movie/television trend No. 1,256: Any time someone takes a giant swig from a bottle of booze (video below) in order to deal with a difficult situation. Listen, less than two percent of the population are able to nonchalantly take three gulps from a bottle of Jack Daniel's, and it's rarely the type of people portrayed on television and film. When Jeremy Piven's character in Entourage, Ari Gold, a proponent of healthy living, effortlessly sucks down an entire bottle of bourbon during a four-minute conversation I start pulling my hair out. Why am I supposed to believe this is possible? Because he just got fired? A non-drinker is a non-drinker, plain and simple. Why is this any different than having Meryl Streep dunking on an eleven-foot hoop?
Jesus, I know it's Hollywood and all, and I know I shouldn't really care, but I do. Probably a little too much.
Anyway, Tuesday's Vickers...
