But you don't understand, bits and bytes are cold and sterile! Whereas skips and scratches are warm, and human, and real, man! Or something.

Indeed.

Yeesh. Not ever having been drunk in public (and not being a total moron in general), I've never understood the impulse to go up to a reporter/cameraperson and do that. But, on the plus side, if you ever need to get fired from your job, there's your perfect opportunity: go out punching.

I like Mel Gibson in Mad Max because yes, he originated the role, and was thereby better at playing the character of Max Rockatansky than Hardy is (Hardy's performance is fine, but it isn't "Max"; it's something else again). I have no opinions about Braveheart, which I've never seen.

That's right - the Feral Kid made it to the Gold Coast, just in time for Schoolies week.

Well, if you believe Google, it's the airport code for Fuzhou Changle International Airport in Fujian, China. But more importantly, I believe it stands for "For Our Consideration", the umbrella title for this series of articles here on the A.V. Club.

I don't know about digital, but it was definitely released on CD here in Australia; more than once, too.

You may be right. Kinison's not been much to my taste (from what little I remember of him), but various comedians whose opinions I respect have tended to rate him pretty highly, so I guess I’ll have to check him out some time.

Oh yeah, that's the guy - I guess it's not so weird I got those two mixed up.

As long as no copyright infringement was intended, then it's a totally legal upload. I'm pretty sure it's in the Constitution somewhere.

Well done, Mr. Dice Clay - I thought you died in a car crash years ago, but apparently I was misinformed.

I know what you mean! Fingers crossed for those Spin Doctors, Hootie and the Blowfish and 4 Non Blondes reunion tours!

"It’s so hard to get young actors to read for a 22-episode CBS procedural because the dream job is to do a cable show produced by, let’s say, Martin Scorsese…"

Good point. Alternatively, sing-speaking it like Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady might get the job done too.

I'm sorry, but those are the worst lyrics to an opening number I've ever heard.

I don't know, maybe people were voting for him as a reward for hard work and doggedness? He went all the way from Channel 31 to a nationally-broadcast prime-time TV show, and it seems to have been sheer willpower that got him there (because it certainly wasn't talent, likeability etc). I think he actually said at some…

Yes, it's strange, really - Rove is way more coherent than Fallon (he actually knows how to conduct an interview and generally knows not to step on his interviewee's jokes etc); but there's just something really off-putting about him, I don't know what it is.

It does reflect the historical reality of the SOE, though - the 1940 formation date is accurate, and most of the women who joined it had no prior espionage training or experience.

2nd prize: two pairs of tickets

So, it's reviews of live television musicals that bring out all the ranting loony commenters who can't stop making ad hominem arguments, is it? I guess I've learned something today.
