Headline can also be for a renewal.

I rarely walk out of movies, but: Across the Universe, and Robin Williams' last film, Boulevard. The first because I didn't want to hear karaoke Beatles while seeing what I thought was a Cliff Notes version of the 1960s (since it's Julie Taymor, maybe I should give it another shot); and the second because it was…

I try not to see bad movies and my teenage years aren't that well remembered, but what springs to mind is the Nic Cage-Alex Proyas sci-film film, Knowing. I saw it after Ebert's rave four-star review. A rare case where he got it completely wrong.

Prof. Farnsworth sometimes has the right idea. If this is real. I just read today a post from a jury consultant reviewing the episode who said that the trials are mock, an extra one to get more money, and that's why the defendant agrees to be on TV, implying that the real trials have already happened legitimately…

Seriously, Trump learned about Bannon's Time cover now and that's why he's cooled off on the guy? I don't believe you. For starters, I'm sure Trump reads Time ever since they got him Person of the Year. Well, I guess maybe it could be true, if he doesn't and his staff didn't tell him because the cover headline was…

I hope Chelsea mocks Van Jones for his "…Period!"

Dear Hollywood,

So I saw a 2 and a half minute clip of Maria Bartiromo interviewing Trump about having desert with the president of China when he launches the 59 missile Syrian airstrike. It's embarrassing for her. She looks like a movie star fangirl. Someone in the comments suggests she was faking that enthusiasm to get him to hang…

Another year that Little Miss Sunshine ain't so little anymore, reminding all of us of our own aging mortality.

Well, well, I think many of Lee's students must be hot for teacher. Finally there's a beautiful guy after we've had many beautiful women contestants. For FJ, I guessed what Jane did, capping off a worse game than I usually do.

A good place then to remind you that Fox's You The Jury, where you decide actual civil court cases by voting from your own home, starts tomorrow at 9/8c.

Porn parodies of Dickens (or "DICKens") novels aren't a bad idea…

New season of Fargo starts a week from now, which can't come fast enough, not only because it's a great show, but because then the way-ubiquitous ads will stop. I wouldn't be surprised if the show's ratings took a hit because people got annoyed at how often they saw the commercials.

Jean-Paul Picard, Trebek? Hand in your host badge.

"Baldwin’s Trump-ian qualities of self-regard and remembering slights are
on full display in this remarkably petty and oblivious book….It’s understandable that Baldwin would want to use his memoir to reassert his point of view on various controversies, but the random
snark, so to speak, about the media, Hollywood…

So is this one of the first, or most prominent, artistic expressions about the worry of self-driving cars? Also Michelle Rodriguez was on Kimmel last week and they both talked about a very cold thing Theron's character did that shocked them. I casually wonder what that is, if it hasn't already been discussed…

The Trump administration being so inept in every area—from the press sec., to their contradictory goals in Syria, to befuddling foreign leaders—confirms his supporters as dumb, wiping out the possibly understandable reason they gave for voting for him as not a bright one. Well, sure, he talked about jobs and helping…

Don't underestimate the Dems later snatching defeat from the jaws of a very-near defeat.

I always feel anxious whenever a contestant launches into what sounds like a long story during the interview portion, because I feel the other contestants won't have enough time to play. I haven't timed the segments, but probably the producers tell the contestants to keep the stories to a set length. I liked Atissa…

Good thing Gabriel will be dead by late 2016.
