Actually, I could have been a decent Mickey-as-a-young-man. I don't do impressions, generally, but my Burgess Meredith is pretty spot-on. ;-)

Probably. I'd venture that most guys Milo's age— or, to be honest, my age— would have just leapt at the chance. (I wouldn't have, but I'd only have been useful in such a film as a punching bag that wouldn't hurt anybody's hands.)

Worse: sitcom stillbirths.

Not enough to do the nude scene with Kurt Russell. Kurt used to joke endlessly about what a coward Sly was because of it.

I thought it was a new offering at Starbucks.

I guess someone had to draw First Blood.

Rocky Balboa, to be fair, was considerably better than any of us expected it to be, especially if, like me, you'd stopped giving a damn about Rocky after Mickey died.

Anyone else getting "waiting for your comment to be approved" messages? Annoying as hell.

Boy in New York looks bloody insufferable. You can practically see the pretense dripping off of it.

A "vlog" sounds like something Putin leaves in his toilet.

No wonder your hands are sticky.

On British TV, Stephen asking Samantha if she'd prefer to be stabbed in the front or the back would have been interpreted very differently. America, you definitely need more innuendo in your diet. It's good for the soul.

Okay, let's try:

Catsdown, for me, is occasionally amusing, but, damn, it is tedious. I loathe that it takes at least 15 minutes to get through all of the intros and extremely forced mascot bits. And, wow, do some bits on that show BOMB, especially over in Dictionary Corner. John Kearns was so gratingly awful I literally wanted to

Hodgman has been pretty vocal about loving QI and even popped up on the show once. Sadly, I just don't think there's the US audience for it, even adapted; moreover, I don't think a single network would ever even consider it. While I like Hodgman, I can't see him (or anyone else, for that matter) being able to

Hardwick himself gave me "ALL THE POINTS" once a year or two ago. For the life of me I can't remember exactly what the hashtag war or setup was, but it was something to the effect, I think, of bathroom celebrities to which there was only one answer: Runny Cox.

I remember because I used to (when I was a teenager) confuse it with The Petrified Forest. Gawd, I feel so old writing that… (This was in the days when old movies were on constantly and Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide was every cinephile's Bible.)

F*ck, Muppet Movie was right?!?!?! You've got to be kidding me….
