She directed Garfield, didn't she?

He should've attended Sir Ian McKellen's acting workshop.

Is this film being hated upon because it happens to star Charlie Sheen?

Nixon?

It's supposed to be "Richard III in the White House" with blood and murders and sex galore. Problem is, 1600 Penn and NBC beat David Fincher and Netflix to the punch.

Given how Zoe Barnes is scoring "before it's news" stories left and right, wouldn't other reporters start tracking her? I'd imagine that D.C.'s paparazzi pundits are as bad as Hollywood's. Wouldn't the watchers watch her to try to see who her anonymous sources are?

I like to think of him as LBJ, except only caring for himself and his.

So after Agent Clay lost his job leading the tactical teams when Alphas was terminated, he became a lobbyist for the gas company. Good to know.

The painting also had a boat in it!

Shakespeare vs. Sorkin

I'm sure he's a fine filmmaker but I still don't get how suddenly the studios have entrusted him to be the Kwisatz Haderach. No man should have this much power.

@UWIR:disqus  Tell it to Nielsen!

The shows writers have written themselves into a corner, and he's the only scapegoat they can use.

The tragedy about the Big Bang Theory vs. Community is that the fate of the latter is ultimately tied to the former's ratings. Every viewer the BBT has is one less Community gets. This is the one of the very few times liking one thing over another is a zero-sum game.

Breaking news: Bill Watterson to bring back Calvin and Hobbes, in film form. Films to be directed, written, and starred in by J. J. Abrams.

Okay fine, swap Spielberg instead for a director who is/was a hot commodity. Same point applies. What did Abrams do to merit this sort of trust in him? Overnight, entire media empires are riding on his shoulders. Sci-fi empires, at least.

The thing I don't get is how he's being put in charge of all of these hugely iconic sci-fi series. He made a deal with the Robot Devil, no doubt.

That's what Damon Lindelof is for.
