Redemption Island forces an extra challenge (and more narrative time), eliminating the time needed for a Reward Challenge instead.

The Star Wars franchise? The Force is MIDICHLORIANS.

Given the choice between Colton and Anyone Else, I'll take Anyone Else: Candice.

Ameche, a prude, told Landis he'd only do the line once.  Nailed it.

Heineken?

Is this a non-swimming season?

Correct: Bridges had a gap of almost 27 years; Weaver was 23y 2 mos; this is 24 years.

Because you're not in the pool, Judge, and it won't break your heart for me to do so, and because I think he may be able to Ozzy his way pretty far this time without a Russell in his way, I'm taking Tyson Apostol.

It's ok. Had it been simultaneous, I'd say we could play a game of tetherball for the rights.

Also in the Salerno bio, though I don't know if it's in the film: a particular and private physical deformity with which Salinger may have been born: http://www.nydailynews.com/…

@avclub-976e5a7c9f5586745269c99891652285:disqus , well, you agree to be convicted by the judge without facing a jury, etc.

I'm not about to criticize Chaplin for thinking that the rise of fascism was a bad thing worth speaking out against.

@candyswe:disqus The Brooks version is fine, but inherently it's not as daring as doing it while Hitler is still on the rise.

Just wanted to second how good it was to see Olbermann doing highlights again. "They're…not…gonna…get him."  Didn't realize how much I missed him.

And they were great films for everyone, not just for the boys.

Doesn't Bridges wind up homeless as well?

You mean, Fisher King, but in LA?  Because we've already had Bridges as a bum.

It was an outrageously fortunate time for us all.

Oh.  Well bring him back!
