in terms of 'doing' tatiana, all i can say is : imagine the sounds she would make. agencies would be notified by those believing a terror attack was imminent.

a little off topic, but man, i loved all jamar's outifts. that dude had style.

umm, how can you be a 'less' creative david cook? he was the least imaginative 'rocker' the show's ever had: 'i know! i'll be chris daughtry, but instead of being able to sing, i'll rip off alternative arrangements to famous songs the judges won't recognize and get pity votes from an internet community aware of my…

l.a. story is too smug. funny bits and actors, but just overall it bugs me. and spanish prisoner, while moderate mamet, is not a great steve martin performance.

i think we should all help find more work for william fichtner. i love that guy.

okay; i'll be that guy
i don't think you meant arthur mimics joseph cotton's role in 'kane.' i think you meant william alland, who plays the reporter interviewing kane's old associates. sorry, but i'm sort of obsessed with joseph cotton.

saracen/riggins feud
julie taylor.

you are alone here.

bob dylan
he's important. i hear that. i hear his influence on others. i've tried. i don't like his music.

ellen
i feel like ellen's already the villain this season and we're subconsciously rooting for patty to find out about her subterfuge. i suppose its human nature to find betrayal unsympathetic and respect people who wear their unpleasant natures on their sleeves, so i have to keep reminding myself that patty did try…

phantasm 2
phantasm 2 was produced by a different studio from the other 3, so they have no practial interest in releasing it for completists. look for the same thing to happen to the first 'hellboy' in the future.

altman
my favorite unreleased altman tv movie is 'the caine mutiny court martial'. eric bogosian is amazing, especially drunkenly confronting jeff daniels at the party at the end.

the thing about itunes is it proves that, even with the option to get things for free, people are willing to pay for things.

yay smug condescension! do you feel better now?

good call, though i just assumed his 'previous lab assistant' was peter's mom.

okay, i'll say it.
what up with chuck's dress? i know she usually wears something rather striking, but when she showed up outside as the heart of a goth blossom, i wondered if i had missed some pushing daisies-related 'project runway' challenge last season : 'your challenge is to make every previous outfit worn by…

i don't know, when it said 'cromartie's story,' i started laughing : here's the story from the point of view of the guy emotionlessly killing everyone. love him.

oh, i love the host segments. this is where trace and frank were clearly the best at what they do.

yeeeeeaaaaah. i liked ang lee's way better.

the movie's host segments were nowhere up to the regular show's standards, but the riffing is top notch, and you can tell they really took their time writing it.
