Sloppy Seconds: Brad Renfro Dead at 25, Dane Cook on Jessica Alba's Porn and the End of RENT

Posted by Emily Farris

We feel bad putting someone's death in Sloppy Seconds, but it needed to be noted and we didn't see him in much other than The Client. Anyway, Brad Renfro died at the young age of 25 and it's really sad. (Scanner Bryan interjects here to say he's clearly going to have to make a copy of Bully for Scanner Emily.)

After Jessica Alba said that her movie with Dane Cook, "Good Luck Chuck" turned out to be porn, Cook fired back "She's watching some really silly-ass porn."

After Nine hundred thirty thousand, one hundred eighty minutes, RENT finally closes.

Dane Cook is an asshole, plagerist and general embarrassment of the culture. Jessica Alba has an attractive bottom. I take her side here, regardless of the merits of their respective arguments.

Oh my god! I completely forgot he was in Bully. I kind of blocked that movie out of my mind. It was good but disturbing. Really, really, really fucking disturbing.

Sad news about Renfro, a genuine talent in a sea of good-looking furniture. See Apt Pupil and Sleepers as well as Bully, those are probably his three strongest moments. Genuinely gutted about this one, always hoped he'd overcome all the  cliches and turn into a good adult performer.

It was a busy week here at Scanner. We got a new URL, we thought a lot about boobs (big ones! Jessica Alba's!), we found some new furniture, and unfortunately, a few people died. Anyway, we're spent. But in case you missed any of it, here's
