When an actor of Peter Falk's stature, a man who appeared in John Cassavetes films and Wings of Desire, dies there's usually a bunch of people complaining that we should remember Falk for his films and not his more famous tv stuff. Not with Falk. Columbo is such a great character of fiction that even as the snobbiest…

"Modern-day ghostbusters" I really don't think Ghostbusters is a dated enough concept that it needs a facelift. It's not like we're past the need for unlicensed nuclear accelerators.

Ever so often, I need reminders that Nick Nolte and Gary Busey are different people. Usually I figure it out by seeing which one looks more like Jake Busey.

Great interview. It's always nice to see one an actor you like just comes off as a normal, well-rounded, smart person in Random Roles. I advise everyone out there to check out Hard 8. Hall finds an amazing amount of nuisance and subtly in a character who never loses his self control.

We live in a world where Michael Keaton has been the best movie Batman. Think about that. I love Michael Keaton but really? That's the best we can do?

Whatever about The Wire. You should have asked him about Mona Lisa.  I want to hear some Bob Hoskins anecdotes.

In retrospect, I have to like this episode a little less than I should
just because how much SPOILERS CJ  became the conscious of the White House and then Chief of Staff can be partially traced back to this episode.  You can have an important role at the White House without having the skills necessary to be a major…

I never understood why it was always Josh and Toby who had to take over for CJ instead of some underling at the press office who theoretically have been studying CJ's methods and might be able to hold their own for a day.
