We were happy to be away during the Grindhouse hype, since the (likable) disaster had way too many idiots trying to pass as trashy experts. The low point was a piece in the New York Post that raved about how White Line Fever was so low-budget that you can even see the boom mic in one shot. Yes, how comical—except there was all those other grindhouse films where the boom mic made enough appearances to rate billing above the title.

Still, many here will likely agree that Grindhouse was doomed at the box office when they left out the trailer for Hobo With A Shotgun. We’ll check those contest rules again, but wasn’t the entire idea that the winner got to be part of the fake grindhouse trailers? There have been rumors of Hobo making some big-screen appearances, but now we’re just hoping for the trailer getting some DVD immortality.

Also, we weren’t kidding about feasting on morally wrong seafood while on Spring Break. The job was made easy, too. There’s a constant assault upon the raising of J.R. jr., with the innocent tyke recently receiving a copy of the insidious Happy Feet on DVD. The packaging, however, includes a helpful National Seafood Guide that lists foods you should feel bad for enjoying.

You know why Chilean Seabass tops the list? Because we served plenty at the wedding of RightWingTrash a few years ago. Here are more delicious species that got off too easy on that wedding day: Cod: Atlantic; Crab: King (imported); Flounders, Soles (Atlantic); Halibut: Atlantic; Lobster: Spiny (Caribbean imported); Mahi mahi/Dolphinfish (imported); Monkfish; Scallops: Sea (Mid-Atlantic); Shrimp (imported farmed or wild).

Bon appetit—especially since we’re pretty sure we didn't list any of the fish with mercury content.
