How were everybody's holidays? Mine was spent sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, and... sleeping. This upcoming week looks to be similar, albeit with a little less sleeping. 2014's going to be a huge year for us, and I would like to personally thank everybody for riding with us over the changes we've been making since April.
While you were drinking eggnog and spending time with your family, we had some solid updates this past week, including my review of Martin Scorsese's latest (and greatest), The Wolf of Wall Street, a first look at young Taylor Bennett, the latest installment in Pharrell's ARTST TLK with Leonard Nimoy, Rap Genius' Google shenanigans, and more!
