Ah, the undeserved hatred of Ishtar continues unabated. Maybe someday people will realize that they've been lied to for years and that this supposedly awful movie is actually just a decent, enjoyable comedy with a great cast and an inflated budget.

If Paul Giamatti can be persuaded to act out scenes from Twilight, please God in heaven find a way for some interviewer to make Steve Carell read excerpts from O'Neal's spec script.

Are you trying to suggest that the AVClub staff is some kind of all-white, predominantly male work force? Because that's just ridiculous.

On the contrary, she shouted, "CAN YOU SIGN THIS FOR MY BOYFRIEND, HE JERKS OFF WHENEVER HE SEES ANNE HATHAWAY!"

Yeah, but at least everyone else appears to be enjoying his wake.

On a semi-related note, my girlfriend is in Sundance and got January Jones' autograph for me yesterday. Apparently she is just as icy and unapproachable in real life as she comes across on the show (Jones, that is, not my girlfriend). I guess she was late to the interview and when my gf tried to get her autograph she…

I was wondering if Betty was going to lose that weight in between seasons. As much as I enjoyed Fat Betty, now that we are done with it, it feels kind of like a lackluster story arc (and one that will probably seem very strange to people who watch the whole series in the future, unaware of January Jones' pregnancy).

Hey, if you don't like it, you can go back to your own miserable country.

I've heard people say that Sail Away and yes even this song have both been covered by artists unaware that they were satires. Does anyone have any examples of that happening?

Leap Day was good, and so was the Weird Al episode (though I may be blinded by Weird Al bias, who knows). Overall, though, I thought it was a big letdown after the excellence of season five. I'm not sure what Alec Baldwin was talking about when he claimed that season 6 was better than 5, but I can only imagine he was…

I'm going to be really sad to see this show go. Season six was such a disappointment that for a while I thought I wouldn't miss it, but they've made a real comeback this year.

Wow, Neil Diamond singing "My Heart Will Go On" is exactly as bad as you would imagine it to be.

Are you trying to suggest that teens these days don't watch "Notting Hill," or the hip MTV movie "200 Cigarettes"?

I have no jokes to make. I am legitimately very excited by this news. Just yesterday I was wondering when/if Costello was going to release a new album.

I think a problem I have with Tarantino (despite liking and/or loving all of his movies) is summed up by an interview I saw where he said he was going to retire before he got old (unlike some filmmakers, hint hint Eastwood) and started losing his touch, because in the future he didn't want 12 year old kids discovering…

Hasn't he been playing douche bag characters in horrible comedies for a while now? I'm willing to bet that eventually a decent filmmaker will cast him as a douche bag character in a drama, and people will appreciate his self-awareness and ability to convincingly play a douche bag (a talent which arises from the fact…

I like that Dane Cook has been completely unable to translate his huge stand up success into any kind of popular film or television work. I mean, he had the biggest selling comedy album since Steve Martin's Wild and Crazy Guy, so the natural expectation would be for him to follow that career path and start making…

"There's a certain slant of light,
winter afternoons, 
that oppresses like the heft

Hey, you may want to edit this post so it sounds less homophobic. I think you meant to say "guy" but used the wrong vowel.

James Franco being asked to write a poem about the inauguration by Yahoo News is quite literally the funniest thing imaginable. I wanted to make some "meanwhile, Seth Rogen begins penning an opera about apartheid commissioned by AOL" joke, but no hypothetical scenario is as funny as James Franco commemorating Obama's…
