I think a small, underwhelming studio like this is best for Conan. I like that it also has no history, just plunked beside the Universal tram tour. There's no mystique that Conan has to worry about — no ghost of Johnny Carson, or Ed Sullivan Letterman went to a huge, beautiful, extravagant, historical theater and I…

WOW
1992 sucked.

…BUT DON'T GIVE YOURSELF AWAY…
I'm surprised that no one has brought up how the Cheap Trick song totally sums up what Conan has to do now. The Tonight Show has always been geared at older people (both my grandmas watch it in bed) and the chorus address this with the "Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a…

Tim and Eric is the current "if this person likes this, I want them as my friend" show. I hope the new teen satire Adult Swim show is as funny as the one they did!

Also, if you got a caterer named Rick who always had shitty cakes, when you had a shitty cake you'd say "this cake is very Rickesque" even though he probably bought the cake from someone/somewhere else.

@Oh the Possibilities — Bayesque is acceptable, as Bay always allows the same type of DP work — like the Coens always have the same type of cinematography even though they've been through 3 or so DPs.

Other than the Feral Kid or Newt, doesn't a kid sidekick usually spell doom for a movie like this?

My favorite parts of the Terminator films were really dumb fucking cops. Does this movie have a lot of those?

Biggest Mystery Explained?
How does Edward Furlong aging into Nick Stahl then age into Christian Bale? They should had have Clint Howard play John Connor to make this thing a bit more believable.

BEST SIMPSON ROBOT?
Linguo!

The Culture of Free
Here's the problem. People can watch TV without the commercials, or download the shows on the internet. Smater, succesful people are the ones with TIVOS and DVRS, and the young know how to work the internet — espcially the advertisers prized 18-35 crowd. So there is no reason to put GOOD SHOWS…

Yes, R.E.M. deserves a lifetime pass many times over. However, what's terrible about these type of bands (Rolling Stones, U2) are that they are no good to see live because you are forced to listen to their new stuff when you just want their lifetime pass stuff. It's like if you wanted to see Bill Murray in…

That dirt poor Idaho town kicks NYC's fucking ass!

OBAMA LINK
Reagan's decision to trust Gorby was looked at unwisely by those who supposedly knew best. Sort of reminds me of Obama's 180 arms wide open approach to the Muslim world. Reagan's optimism, I feel at least, came out of being completely green and naive of world affairs, but the fresh approach worked with…

The American city that looks most beautiful on screen is San Francisco. Hands fucking down. In Dirty Harry, Bullitt, Basic Instinct, Zodiac, it looks magical. Maybe that's why menace works there so where — it's like somethings gone wrong in heaven.

PAPER THIN WALLS
Was that Toby talking about Damages in the bathroom? Because a easy way to get Michael and the Dream Team back into Dunder Mifflin is that they overhear Minor, in the bathroom, saying something that hurts Dunder Mifflin (or banging Angela) and Michael can get him fired.

Before this interview I had no fucking clue who Jian Ghomeshi or the Boxmasters were or that BBT was just like Bad Santa in real life. Now I do. Everybody wins!

He just keeps going with it too! I was laughing so fucking hard — and it is pretty brilliant, in that it's a perfect answer if the question was movie inspirations instead of music.

I respectfully disagree, good sir.

30 ROCK A CULT SHOW…WTF?
Wow, that term is being thrown around very loosely now. If 30 Rock was a cult show it would be off NBC Thursday nights by now. There are no "cult" prime time shows on network TV. Flight of the Concords isn't really "cult" fare either, as it's one of the few shows people get HBO for. "Tim…
