Better Man is the only song by this band I truly love. That's just a great song. Could take or leave the rest of what I've heard.

Never read Ginmill but I have it on the shelf. Of the ones I've read, A Walk Among the Tombstones has been my favorite.

I never understood the point of doing a movie with an animatronic monkey. Isn't the point of monkey movies to say "look what we made the monkey do! He thinks he's people!"?

Yeah, Soderbergh was very close to filming (within days) but the studio (Amy Pascal) pulled the plug after reading the final draft he turned in. Demitri Martin was set to play Hill's role. Dykstra, Strawberry and a few others had already filmed interviews. All the A's players were to play themselves. He was going to…

Did he disown George Washington somewhere? It still exists, right? How did he turn his back on it, exactly?

Agree with this thread on all counts. Acorns & Orioles—best Michael Stipe vocal performance by a non-Michael Stipe performer.

Did someone say my name? Oh, Curly JOE…my mistake!

He'd actually planned on making a return to arty, dramatic fare after Your Highness, but then he read the script for The Sitter and said he had to make it. He also has an animated MTV show coming up next month. Also making Suspiria at some point. He'll come back to his roots sooner or later.

Maybe, but I think the gulf between the characters' occupations/probable income and their lifestyle was greater in Friends than it ever had been before. And there were plenty of shows about blue collar people before Roseanne, like most of Norman Lear's shows, for instance or The Honeymooners.

A pussyhound, really.

I didn't watch this show but I agree with the sentiment that there should be a show about working class people again. Ironically, there's where Chuck Lorre seemed to thrive, with Grace Under Fire and Roseanne. But now we're in a post-Friends world where even if someone isn't a millionaire or a billionaire (hell, even…

They pay the moneys.

guys, Jay Leno's on the boards againnnnn

Paul Lynde: confirmed bachelor; skirt chasing maniac.

When I saw her sitting next to him at the Emmys, I was all !!!! and then I realized she's a producer, so why wouldn't she be there?

Someone could give Redban (and for that matter, Rogan) a 20 minute course in interviewing and really make the podcast something special.

I will give Rogan credit for being better than his partner. That guy brought the conversation to a stand still at least five times, at which point both Bourdain and Rogan basically pretended like they didn't hear anything the guy just said and move on. It's pretty funny. Definitely a must listen for fans of Bourdain,…

That's because his accent is real.

I did not enjoy the Death Trilogy at all. I appreciate what he was doing, but it still felt more like a series of failed but interesting and maybe necessary (for him) experiments. I really dug Paranoid Park though.

Kevin Costner's accent in Prince of Thieves was an American actor doing his version of a British actor doing an American accent. Very meta.
