Anne Sexton's poem "For My Lover, Returning to His Wife," ends with the line: "As for me, I am watercolor. I wash off." She's just addressed the letting go of love and the acceptance that she's been but a passing fancy, a mirage in a passionless period of life, "littleneck clams out of season," "a bright red stoop in the harbor." So she "gives him back his heart," giving him permission to return to that which makes him whole, not that which simply excites him. It's a saddening poem, but when it comes to love, sex, relationships, or simply trying to connect with other human beings, it's all very tricky territory.

The weekend is finally almost here. Arrested Development is returning to the small screens, with the entire season to be released at once, a setup that begs for Monday-off binge watching and probably some server crashes. Seeing as many of you won’t have to work the next day, it’s the perfect excuse to have a party. A little grilling, some beer and some watching the most hyped non-sports-related television event in years. Here are some suggestions for your perfect Bluth family shindig.

Everybody involved in media is slowly learning that, in order to survive, you need to get into some other business lines, because just writing snarky blog posts or making silly cat videos isn't enough. Even the seemingly-successful Funny or Die is pulling in some beer money as a custom ad shop, producing videos for various corporate clients. In the past they've been semi-funny at best, probably because of the teams of management stiffs and their sycophantic consultants who get jittery at anything that might offend. But a new video the FOD people produced for Norelco is actually funny, and quite a bit edgier than anything I'd expect from a multi-zillion dollar conglomerate. It stars Adam DeVine of Workaholics, which I love, and follows the "Special Units Unit" as it cruises around, COPS-style, looking for dudes that, well, don't trim their junk well enough. How did they get away with this? I'd say the Norelco marketing team grew some well-groomed balls. Good for them. 

This spring has been rife with fantastic films, and with summer on our heels it looks as though we're in store for some truly great cinematic moments—from both directors we worship and those who are at the precipice of their careers.  And when it comes to the latter, David Lowery is one of the most refreshing and wonderful new voices in filmmaking to appear on our radar in recent memory. After editing the stunningly brilliant Upstream Color with Shane Carruth,  Lowery blew everyone away at Sundance with his crime drama / tragic Texas romance Ain't Them Bodies Saints which will roll into theaters come August. The lens-flared and sun burnt film is as aesthetically alluring and well-crafted as it's moving performances from Casey Affleck, Rooney Mara, and Ben Foster who take on the story of:

As one of the most stunning and unparalled pieces of cinema ever made, Chris Marker's 1962 short film La Jetée may be brief, but the emotional memory it evokes possesses you long after. With an ineffable sense of beauty in the post-apocalyptic landscapes and imagery, the poetic wisdom that weaves throughout, and philosophical inquires that penetrate the film, we're presented with static images, snapshots of moments that speak volumes above mere dialogue. Marker's time-traveling science fiction film is not only a haunting and ravishing pleasure for the eye but also for the ear, with its varying sonic landscape—mixing classical scoring with ambient sound. And with Echo Chamber: Listening to La Jetée, we're given an in-depth and delightful video essay that illustrates the elements of sound in Marker's film, calling the score of La Jetee's it's own, "musical hall of mirrors." 

Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" is sitting high atop the Summer Jams of 2013 power ranking, with its irresistible bassline and breezy vocals bearing promises of getting lucky, and the release of the album behind it has kept the masked men on everyone's minds. And with the ubiquity of "Get Lucky" inevitably comes every sort of iteration of YouTube mashup. The best one, though, which we're not sure how we missed, comes from YouTube user jcs101010, who has skillfully juxtaposed the track with scenes of the works of David Lynch.  

If there's one thing Explosions in the Sky evokes, it's all of the emotions. Every last one. Anyone who has watched Friday Night Lights will understand how "Your Hand in Mind" played at dusk over a football field is truly the easiest trigger for tears. And if you've ever gazed wistfully out a bus window in the country while listening to "Who Do You Go Home To," you know the magical power of some stirring instrumental indie rock. And although David Gordon Green latest film, the Sundance hit, Prince Avalanche isn't a philosophical tear jerker, it does possess a strikingly beautiful glowing and burnt natural landscape and some existential dilemmas, which, are always grounds for some EITS. And with composer David Wingo collaborating at the helm for the score, the tone of Prince Avalanche is set by its subtly lovely soundtrack that melds his and EITS' sensibilities. 

Like most hangovers, the third one is just not quite as fun as the first – and so is the consensus of The Hangover Part III, which opened today. But that doesn't stop critics from making some hilarious one-liners about it, whether they meant to or not. Here's the funniest:
