Her screen tests for Scarlett O'Hara are fascinatingly different from Vivien Leigh's interpretation.

On the specific topic of Frank Capra films, it can be a bit of a shock to discover how bitter and cynical most of them are, given his reputation for some kind of idealized Americana.

He softened them up with the cake.

"Ahoy, Nicholas."

"I can't run that fast— The Captain!"

Also Martin Sheen in the hotel room in Apocalypse Now. He's actually drunk, he actually punches a real mirror that really shatters, and he really bleeds from a real cut on his hand.

Isn't one of the typewriters Kubrick's personal instrument, the one he actually wrote with? They probably couldn't find the prop and made a quick substitution.

Here's another: When Artoo rolls away from the droid sale, the "Jawa" directly behind him is a full-size stagehand shuffling around on his knees, working to make sure the droid's third leg operates correctly.

Similarly, the wardrobe budget ran out on Return of the Jedi so Carrie Fisher just did the Jabba's Palace scenes in her regular underwear.

Faris really sold that life-story speech at the table. Especially her inflection on mashing up a bag of potato chips until it was "just CRUMBS…"

I kind of loved Faris's "all of this is in play" dance, with her coming back to clarify that her entire body was included in that statement. Looked like an ad-lib too, judging from Corddry's reaction.

See also the endless references to cable shows. So, even people who WORK on network TV don't watch network TV?

She's still better off than Abby Elliott, who reportedly quit to do Ben & Kate and then didn't get it. I want my Abby back.

Fart me? No, my friend. Fart YOU.

I am Fartacus!

Mays was on Ferguson last night and confirmed that she's got a couple more Glees left to shoot and then she'll be full-time on Millers.

Me, I'm relieved that I can now watch Jayma Mays without having to catch up on Glee.

I understand that reference!

I want to know how many horrible accidents resulted from the theft of that traffic light.

If you're referring to her heritage, don't forget that Chris Kattan is part Iraqi.
