Early '80s HBO was weird.

Although the Jude Law model is beginning to… deteriorate to some degree.

Buck is constantly touring. Mills is on tour this fall with a "symphony for rock band" co-written with his friend who's a concert violinist. Stipe (and Berry, I guess) is the only one who rarely appears live.

The final two Pryor-Wilder collaborations were really just cash and nostalgia grabs, not unlike the Wilson-Vaughn reunion The Internship.

My doctor is openly John-Birch-Society conservative, and loves to talk politics with his patients. Nice guy otherwise.

Does anyone else have trouble getting IFC? The last two cities I've lived in, the cable companies had IFC on the absolutely uppermost tier, meaning you had to get the full 350 channels and pay $275 a month or whatever to see it. I like their shows, but not at prices higher than I'd pay to get HBO or Showtime…

There was that season (4?) where they doubled down on McCarthy doing "wacky" things more in line with her film personas, and it really didn't work.

I think the Duck Dynasty ship has sailed. I saw a big pile of the books and merchandise in the clearance section of an Ollie's Bargain Outlet, next to some Green Lantern toys and kids' books. That usually means the pop-culture moment is over.

Mustaine got really into alt-rock in the early '00s. I was in a band at the time, and our management got asked by Mustaine's assistant to send a demo, because he was supposedly starting a record label, and I can promise you we did not sound like Megadeth.

He's the one that sang the majority of the songs on the first album, then a few songs on the second album, then sort of sank into sideman status. He doesn't talk much during the shows, either.

I think Wiig is really interesting. I think she does the big comedies mostly for the money and to enable her to do the darker indie movies, which are probably closer to who she "is." But those indie movies, for the most part, aren't, y'know, good.

You can tell who will make it on SNL and who won't by looking at who is willing to abandon their pre-existing characters. Rob Riggle, for one, kept trying to do a character called Leviticus that never made it past dress rehearsal. He lasted one season. Bobby Moynihan, on the other hand, has said that he ran through…

Crossover! This kid grows up, starts hanging out with burger man and the furries.

As a non-Canadian who watched, I don't know what was more astonishing: the crowd of 20,000 watching outside the arena on screens, the massive crowds in other Canadian cities watching at outdoor viewing parties, or the prime minister himself in the audience. I was trying to think of a British, Australian, or American…

We also took Our Lady Peace for awhile. Does that go in the plus or minus column?

aka "the last member of The Whitest Kids U Know" still getting work.

Farley would have at least one, maybe two failed sitcoms and would be hanging on thanks to the benevolence of Adam Sandler.

Swear to God, I was at a Panera in Atlanta five years ago, and a guy who looked exactly like an old Kaufman was sitting next to me with a fairly attractive middle-aged lady. Never saw him in that neighborhood before or since.

He (and Michael Che) are both right about one thing: someone needs to go to the police about this guy. This isn't a Cosby situation; the statute of limitations hasn't run out on any of these alleged cases. If somebody's a serial predator, banning them from one theater just forces them to commit crimes somewhere else.
