Were Tom Hanks to hunt, kill and mount Roman Polanski's head over his mantle, would anyone care?

What, is she funny or something?

Daniel Day-Lewis?

I feel bad that Mae Whitman seems to get type cast as "Girl who isn't as hot as other girl."

Yeah, but he's really affable about it.

Fucking Johnny Depp. I can't count the times I've defend him as a good actor to my friends, citing his performances in Edward Scissorhands, Rango, Ed Wood and Sweeney Todd (still some of my favorite movies), how those performances affected and influenced me in various ways, only to find out that there's a good chance

Oh yeah. I mean, I fucking love John Travolta as Edna, but not knowing that Harvey played her on Broadway?

She got an Oscar nomination for it! It was the only one I could find to watch instantly! I was young and stupid!

Pop culture is a huge part of how I relate to people, so trying to generate shared interests just comes naturally to me, which I suppose could be seen as "sad."

The basic awareness of popular culture inside me couldn't believe it either.

It's what happens when a lady's baby-making parts take flight.

Dylan Baker was on The Americans?

A fair eve to you all! To keep the theme of romance that I arbitrarily decided on two days ago, tonight's Debate Club asks the question: What is the best piece of artwork you've ever gotten into to impress someone you wanted to date?

Now that's a fucking Broadway category. I especially like how you had to really pay attention to the Hedwig clue, which tripped me up and I wound up answering John Cameron Mitchell! Well-played.

Much as I love Sweeney Todd, Hairspray is easily the best musical of the 21st century. Not that I've seen all of them, but none of them could possibly be better than Hairspray.

Well, no, but "Billy Flynn" is more generic than "Inspector Javert."

I actually watched the USA game!

Naked mole rat society is remarkably similar to those of colony insects (your ants, your termites, what have you). The head of a colony is the queen, and your relation with the queen determines you hierarchy in the colony. Sometimes a queen will decide that she arbitrarily hates another female naked mole rat, and all

Once again I reveal my next-to-complete ignorance in all things music-related.

One day I want to make a silent sci-fi comedy that combines the best of Fritz Lang with the best of Chaplin like some unholy Frankenstein's monster of cinema.
