    Wait, what? It's the name of my shitty high school metal band. We made T-shirts and everything …

    Oh dear god, watch it now … it's probably playing on cable somewhere. With apologies to Swingers (which is one of my favorites as well), no film has ever captured American male friendship so perfectly. Every scene is pitch perfect.

    That movie is a stone-cold American classic. The scene between her and Shreevy, when he recalls the song playing when he first saw her, then heads out the door, is perfect.

    Yup - Chris Pratt showed up at a Boston hospital with Chris Evans and in full Star-Lord garb in February.

    The Avengers really have been busy with this sort of thing lately …

    "Woozle - wuzzle?"

    Boy, I so wanted to love this show … but I gave up after about 4 or 5 episodes. The early reports were that it was going to be a "story about a city," and a tale of a how a city could go so far off the rails that the arrival of a driven but haunted and disturbed man dressed like a giant bat would seem like a welcome

    If not him, Randy Newman.

    Eh, I gave The Descendents a try … really found it slow and boring. But you're right - he is quietly good in it.

    While I do love Out of Sight (J-Lo has never even come close to a better performance than in this film), Clooney is equally as good, if not better, in Michael Clayton, and he is devastatingly good in Up in the Air, which I still think is one of the best films of the past 15 years.

    While he did some fine TV work afterwards, as well as voice work, his last film part in Road to Perdition stands as one of the best "final acts" in a film actor's career, as far as I'm concerned.

    It's interesting how "timelessness" in mens fashion seemed to come to a screeching halt in about 1964 or so … a suit or evening wear or even casual wear from 1948 or 1955 will always be cool looking … the same look from 1968 looks like a costume now.

    I might be wrong on this, but I think he was the longest tenured performer ever on SNL.

    I wish more time had been dedicated to each era's cast, and maybe even have a quick onstage reunion with each. As funny as Martin Short and Billy Crystal can be, they were only on SNL for one season, I think. Wasn't Darrell Hammond on for something like 15 years. The focus on people who had little to nothing to do

    Murphy squandered yet more goodwill extended his way. From his Oscar nod to his supposed comedy comeback in Tower Heist to the rumors of him hosting the Oscars and now to his return to SNL, the man is consistent in pissing away any opportunity to return to making any sort of relevant mark on comedy.

    He was really out of breath … he did not look or sound good at all.

    There is a new SNL app that supposedly has video from every era … Try that?

    Although he might be a touch older, he'd be perfect as Gambit.

    He made an off hand, seemingly off the record comment in the excellent Rolling Stone cover story about him from several years back about starting a new cable channel (this was before his "attempt" to buy CNN). While the idea is intriguing, the vestiges of Al Gore's channel, Air America, and just the glut in general of
