While I'm reasonably sure that they're not going to make January Jones wear a fat suit for two straight seasons, it's worth pointing out that she was thin in the promo pictures last year too, so these don't really confirm anything.

I think the central failing of Grindhouse was trying to recreate grindhouse cinema by spending $50 million on it.

What they get wrong there? Don't the honorees usually submit to media profiles prior to the ceremony? I know Letterman had some lengthy Washington Post profile done prior to the ceremony this year, and I doubt that's something he would've been doing otherwise.

That dialogue from the honeymoon couple was just re-used footage from the premiere.

2-1-4-5-3.

I'm hoping for a scene where his train buddy has one of those elaborate Final Destination style deaths.

Additionally, it requires both the dog and the chicken wings to be within reach, which makes it likely that the dog will steal some of your wings and then you'll be simultanously pissed off at the dog and worried about him choking. Fucking dogs.

I usually don't believe rumors about actors getting blackballed, but I suspect their might have been some serious blowback to how Oldman publically bashed Dreamworks handling of The Contender (he claimed they strong-armed the director to make his character more villainous).

The Front Page is a fun little movie. It's Lemmon & Matthau at the height of their powers. I haven't seen Fedora or Buddy Buddy, but people say they're horrible and I'm inclined to take them at their word.

Aside from Theron, the thing I remember most about 2 Days is that Jeff Daniels had what looked to be a nice, meaty supporting role and then he just disappeared like a third into the movie.

But … Cheese didn't shoot Prop Joe.

What I always heard was that he was made their coach after they got hired, not that they were his students to begin with.

Chaplin was able to have complete control over his own productions long before Lewis.

And eight minutes latter they were all dead.

That season was actually Norm's first year at Update.

Yes it was.

He once scissor-kicked Angela Landsbury.

My favorite footnote to that sketch was Artie Lange's appearance since that was the same night that the series finale to MadTV aired.

I've been a bit of an apologist for Blake Lively over the years, and I'm pretty sure my reasons for it are about 85% "For fuck's sake, LOOK AT HER!" and 15% the potato chip sketch.
