They may be referring to the original Gillette stage play.

Batman's a scientist.

Apparently he got sick of the character, which was why he killed Holmes off in "The Final Problem", and only brought him back because fans would not stop bugging the shit out of him.

Yeah, I was wondering about that comment—the violin and the coke habit both definitely come from the Conan Doyle novels. I think "Elementary, my dear Watson" comes from the Gillette play, and I know Billy the page boy does.

I'm sorry, what? You have seen "London After Midnight"? That film has been lost for 47 years.

I read that a lot of Buster Keaton films were found in basically that manner decades ago—James Mason bought Keaton's old house and found a bunch of reels that Keaton had forgotten about in the basement.

Yeah, those crazy arch-conservatives " working themselves in a lather over violent video games", like Hilary Clinton and Joe Lieberman.

The decision to make the faces go backwards and forwards like he was trying to make some kind of amusing gif undercuts this whole presentation.

Wikipedia has another interestinng article about the Columbian Exchange—all the things that got sent back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean after 1492. Horses went west; when the Spanish first encountered the Plains Indians they found them using dogsleds for transport. Lots of vegetables went east—potatoes,…

You're either a liar or an idiot.

Ask the parents of Dana McCaffrey how they feel about Jenny M.

No, it's fucking ignorance, with snobbery mixed in.

I thought Tristan da Cunha (or whatever it's called) was the most remote inhabited spot on earth.

Ace of Base? Color Me Badd? Janet Jackson!

Yeah, "mean preppie" just about sums it up. Then take away Strong and add some dude who can't get a line of dialogue out of his mouth. Rough.

That poor guy blew his very first line on the Update desk and didn't get better from there.

"why aren't there any cleft-palated Inuits with monobrows in the cast"

Jesus, that new guy was even worse than Jost. They are fucking terrible. I am 41 years old and can remember SNL Weekend Updates going back to Brad Hall, and this is the very worst. Colin Quinn was bad but at least he didn't have that fratboy douchebag thing going like Jost does.

No "Amazing Race" recaps. This is when I really miss Television Without Pity. But I guess a show that is getting old enough that it's shunted to Fridays isn't going to inspire a lot of chatter.

You know, I do feel good about that comment. Because the WWE is stupid.
