Yeah it was, apparently he was originally considered to play the role of Martin Crane.

As mentioned, I can see how she got noticed as her debut album is actually pretty good. How she's maintained a career when it's been pretty much all terrible since then is a mystery though.

Yeah, Bruiser Body mentions it somewhere above.

Gangster Squad does kind of look like a po-faced version of Dick Tracy in some ways. Well it does in the (awful) trailer anyway.

A new version would probably be as good as Town & Country.

I'll just say what I usually say, influenced by =/= ripoff. If it was such a wholesale ripoff why have Arcade Fire not been sued by Blondie? To call Sprawl II 'creatively bankrupt' is ridiculous. It's a stunning song, and the Heart of Glass feel to it is part of what makes it great.

Looking forward to the new Yo La Tengo album in a few weeks, I'd say I've loved every album of theirs I've heard (except possibly Summer Sun, and even that I still enjoy). Like Low, they've been consistently great for so long, and maybe taken a little for granted at times as a result.

No First Contact looks great because it is great and it's one of the best Star Trek films. And it has James Cromwell in it.

I think it's an excellent record, Sprawl II is possibly the best thing they've ever done, brilliant song.

Wow, Big Bang Theory is more popular huh? Thanks for that stunning revelation, I wasn't aware of it. Not sure what popularity has to do with quality but there you go.

I just assume he's Chevy Chase.

There you have it, people who aren't famous shouldn't be slating famous people because they're unimportant and stuff.
