Speaking of Channing Tatum's meager acting ability, Soderbergh sure didn't do Gina Carano any favors by having her first speaking scene in Haywire feature Tatum. That is, everyone in the audience was waiting for her to talk in that scene to see if she was gonna stink, so when Tatum—who's nobody's pick to be the next…

I guess it looks like I didn't know what a dryad was, seeing as how that is literally what I typed, but I meant it more in terms of how they function in the story and in the Grossmanverse.

Patrick Warburton: the most successful post-Seinfeld career?

[SPOILERS for The Magician King]

[SPOILERS for The Magician King]

I agree that this episode wasn't that great, but it was really brave of SNL to shake up their rather staid formula and air that 35-minute strip club sketch…

There's a really funny Cee-lo impression to be done…unfortunately, it's not the one Keenan's doing.

Ha, as soon as a posted that, I second-guessed myself but was too lazy to look it up. I always get the two "unfunny female comedians who get a disproportionate amount of airtime" mixed up all the time.

The Sklarbro County review says that Tom's on episode 78, but the website lists 78 as a different show. Anyone know when the Scharpling episode will be posted?

GLITZ is a great place to start. Not only is the book fantastic, but the crackerjack first chapter is pure undiluted Elmore Leonard, so you'll know right away if it's your thing or not.

Man, I had no idea that Buckethead was around in 1993, at least to the "pair him up with Michael Kamen and put his name on the album cover" extent.

I like the part where you advocate multiple violent assaults against a woman because you don't care for her music.

So Selena Gomez is going to be in a Harmony Korine movie and the Wall Street Journal is liveblogging the Wizards Of Waverly Place finale? I need to lie down.

This is kinda lame of me to bring up, and it's not like I'm particularly worked up about a review of a Wizards Of Waverly Place episode, but it seems a little…odd to give a grade and a full review to a series finale without having seen the final several minutes and the resolution of the characters' plotlines.

I discovered during a jog the other day that at some point in the past I thought the title track to Bat Chain Puller would be an excellent addition to my Workout playlist.

That sucks, man. I hope you find a new gig soon…

Ha, I'm right there with you, standing at a party with a "virgin screwdriver" or a "Jack and coke minus Jack".

And me.

Nah, an appropriate use would have been something like "It's a dumb rhetorical question because it's stupid." Begging the question is when you make a statement that you act as though is true when the only evidence of its truth is the statement itself.

Agreed. Also, one interpretation of that message is that, by embracing "boy stuff" over girl stuff, then that boy stuff is objectively better and girls who prefer girl stuff are weaker or just plain in the wrong. I mean, it's cool that we're not making fun of tomboys any more, but do we have to do it at the expense of…
